While, in the past, city officials have done their best to live with his problem the planning commission at their Wednesday night, March 3 meeting, agreed that it was finally time to adopt a clearly defined 'policy concerning this dilemma. The problem of whether to allow the construction of buildings with heights greater than the ladders owned by the fire department resurfaced when local developer Brent A. Gold presented to the commission his plans for a 16-unit complex com-plex he hopes to build in Daly Canyon above the turnaround. turn-around. When ;Gold,. who was recently appointed Park City's new Justice of the Peace, was told by the commission his plans could not be approved because of the potential fire hazard he commented, "Why should this all come down on me. You've been approving buildings that are higher than mine for the past seven years." Gold added, "I think the commission's action is highly discriminatory." Although the planning commission agreed they were not being consistent with their previous policy" they pointed out that with Park City's steady influx of construction, a firm policy, backed up by a city or I Publisher Editor..

Both parties agreed to investigate the possibility of different solutions and to meet again at a later date. Park City Fire Chief Tom Sullivan told the Newspaper he considered the problem to be a simple one. He stated, "Either the city should see to it that the fire department has the proper equipment to protect these new high rise' buildings or they should not allow them to be built in the first place." Sullivan added, "Perhaps the answer is to have the developers of these high rises to contribute to the cost of a new fire truck." The fire chief estimated a new truck with the needed ladder would cost in the neighborhood of $120,000. Sullivan pointed out that the construction of "these high rises" in the last seven years has affected the cost of fire insurance in Park City. He explained that a home owner's fire insurance premium is calculated by the potential fire hazards of the town as a whole rather than the individual building. Consequently, the individual owners are penalized . for inadequately protected buildings in their town. J. Howard Stable .... Steve Derlng . . . Bonnie Stable Greg Schirf Park City, Utah. Sub-1 Walt & Pam Daniels Andrew Lawler Signs being displayed by the 7-11 Store and the C'est Bon Hotel will be taken down by the long arm of the law if - action initiated by the city council Thursday night proves successful. The council voted to take legal action against the two sigqs because neither has been approved by the planning plan-ning commission and both are considered to be unacceptable. unac-ceptable. v 7-11 The sign adorning the 7-11 Store has not been granted approval by the commission due to its colors, which are standard . for 7-11's throughout the country. In previous discussions, the. commission has noted that it advised the 7-11 people that the colors in their sign should be "subdued" with a more "natural flavor." City Planner Van Martin related that he has been unable to elicit any response from 7-11 or the Young Electric Sign Company, which constructed the wall-mounted wall-mounted exterior placard. C'est Bon The dispute over the C'est Bon sign may boil down to an exercise in semantics. The city claims the interior lit plastic sign now glowing atop the hotel is a new sign which requires commission approval. The C'est Bon management has countered that the sign is not new but rather is a repaired version of a previously previ-ously existing sign which was heavily damaged by wind. Other Sign It was also decided that the Employment Security Office on Main Street would be asked to remove a sign recently placed on its exterior ex-terior office wall.
