Show Addressing service to make house calls The Newspaper Wednesday, November 25, 1981 Page A5 If you're off to a party at 257 McHenry, it may be annoying when you have to stop and telephone because you can't find the street, let alone the house. But if it's an emergency, precious seconds sec-onds can tick away while an ambulance driver learns that McHenry is marked at Rossi Hill Road and that 257 is the one next to so-and-sos on the hillside. Community Development Director Mike Vance told the City Council last week that updating Park City's anti quated addressing system is approaching an emergency. The biggest concern, he said, is that fire truck and ambulance drivers can't locate lo-cate streets or houses in a hurry. And the utility and cable television companies are becoming increasingly more reluctant to hook up service to houses that have no addresses, and use post office box numbers only. The problem exists throughout the city, Vance said. In many older parts of town, houses were addressed Local pleads guilty to attempted manslaughter Park City resident Darla Jean Moore pled guilty recently to attempted manslaughter man-slaughter after shooting up to six rifle shots at her husband Aug. 28 outside of their Holiday Village apartment. apart-ment. After hearing shots that August night, residents found 25-year-old Kelly Moore on the ground outside of his apartment with a wound in his arm and side. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City where he was treated and released. Doctors told police they felt that both wounds were caused by one bullet which passed through his arm before lodging in his side. Although her husband refused to persue the incident, in-cident, the Summit County Attorney's office, in conjunction conjun-ction with the Park City Police Department, charged the 22-year-old woman with attempted murder in the second degree. On Tuesday, Assistant Summit County Attorney Terry Christiansen said that because Kelly Moore did not want to press charges and because "the interest of justice would be served," the charge was reduced to attempted at-tempted manslaughter. That charge is a third degree felony, punishable by one to 15 years imprisonment in the state penitentiary and up to a $5,000 fine. Mrs. Moore is due to be sentenced Dec. 7. consecutively, but were separated sep-arated by empty lots. Now those lots are being filled in, sometimes with multi-unit buildings that require more than one number. Street signs are missing in Old Town, and emergency vehicle ve-hicle drivers are not necessarily neces-sarily familiar with all the residents on every street to locate them without visible house numbers. In new subdivisions, the streets may be marked, but the houses have yet to be addressed, and if they are, they may not be consistent with nearby residential areas. To get a handle on the situation before further growth makes a bad addressing addres-sing system worse, the City Council last Thursday approved ap-proved a contract with D.B.A. Tax Mapping Services Ser-vices of Salt Lake City. The four-phase project is due to begin December 1 and be completed by the end of March at a cost of $13,500. The first phase will include bringing the base address map of Park City up to date to include new subdivisions and streets and to identify the existing addresses of all occupied buildings. That field work will take about 20 days. The second phase, also to take 20 days, will expand the addressing grid system and assign addresses to all buildings and vacant lots. Phase three will include notifying residents of their new address. Each building will be visited by a Tax Mapping Service representative, represen-tative, who will present residents with address placques to be affixed to their houses. The final stage will be to incorporate the new addresses on a mylar base map that will then be given to the city to keep current. City Council members noted that they'd like to be involved in naming new streets, as well as changing such mundane titles as Highways 224 and 228 to something more descriptive or historic. "You may get your Keith and Kearns Boulevard yet," quipped Councilwoman Tina Lewis to Bill Coleman, who will take office as councilman council-man in January. Ciii2iiniSiini Longer hours raise health budget The Summit County health budget is going up, mainly because present employees are working longer hours or cV mging from a part-time to a permanent basis. Health JDirector Frank ' "Singleton.", told. TheNew paper that Rosie MiHer.V public intoxication counselor, would become a permanent county employee for the next calendar year. Singleton also said he would look for someone who could fill, if possible, two jobs for the county health educator and environmental health specialist. Changes are also being made, he said, in the work weeks for the three part- time county nurses. Park City nurse Jayne Kimball is going from three days a week to five. And nurse Nancy Nan-cy Hutchison, who works primarily in Coalville, is working four days a week instead in-stead nf thrpo fThpro is also a nurse, nose dgeiow, in Kamas.) The budget, which was $169,702 in 1980, has leaped to a projected $346,395 for 1982. Why? Some of the reasons, according to Singleton, are that "we now have, a full-time full-time director, we have the equivalent of 2.6 secretaries instead of one, three instead of two people in the Prevention Preven-tion Center and cost-of-living increases." Et tu, planning department? The Planning Commission might have said, "It's Greek to me!", last Wednesday night but they went ahead and approved ap-proved landscape plans for a proposed LDS Church in Park Meadows. The city planning staff recommended that the church "replace the shrubby species, "Acer glabrum" with the shade tree "Acei Grandidentatum." The staff also said that additional shrubs must be planted in front of a brick screen and transformer that would be located along the west side of the building. The proposed church is to be located at Monitor and Lucky John Drives. Condominiumization Ok'd The Planning Commission unanimously approved condo-miumization condo-miumization of the Ski Team Condos, pending the submission of additional information. The eight-unit Ski Team project, located at 1435 Park Avenue, had been previously approved as a permitted use in the HR-1 zone. Both the city attorney and engineer have "signed-off", or approved, the plat, said the staff in their written report. This is conditional on the resolution of access and landscape problems, and the posting of a bond to insure compliance with city standards. Any changes to the plat will need review and approval by the city engineer. Deer Valley gets liquor store The Utah State Liquor Commission has approved a store for Deer Valley. James Nassikas, resort director of food and beverage, said a package store will be set up in the Snow Park Lodge to dispense fifths, half-bottles and mini-bottles. This area is not Dart of the Snow Park restaurant, but Nassikas said the resort planned to obtain a restaurant license next month. The store, he said, will be located on Snow Park's main level on the north side. HOW THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED...
