""f-: 'J'hc corirontation between tSold and the cil.wstemmed irom the planning , com-.. mission's approval k of the developer's project with the condition that he install fire-lighting fire-lighting sprinkling systems in ; .ill ' lour of . his hmr-plex buildings. Gold, arguing that the commission did not have the authority to impose such condition, appealed the decision, lo the city council. Compromise The Council's action T'mrsday night was essen- , hall a compromise in which both parties agreed to halt the ongoing controversy that was beginning to look as if it might end up in a legal I labyrinth. 1 - In the final agreement the council voted 4 to 1 to. allow Gold to construct " his buildings with the condition that , he i' install sprinkling systems in ' the rear two ! buildings rather than in all four, The council concluded ihat the two rear buildings were inaccessible to fire-fighting fire-fighting equipment and. thus, were in need ol the sprinkling systems. The council also stated that it the lire district upgrades its . lire lighting equipment to the extent that ; jt could adequately protect his rear buildings it would grant Gold an appeal to their ruling. ' f The developer asked for the , right to appeal after he ex plained that although he expects to commence work on the two front buildings as soon as possible there is a chance that the two rear buildings 1 requiring' the sprinkling systems may not be constructed until next spring. Gold, w ho had agreed to put ' the systems in the back i buildings when he first presented his plans to the commission some weeks age. reacted to the v council decision by saying. "I can live with that." The .one council member who voted against the compromise was Jan Wilking who stated. "It has been my personal opinion right from the beginning that this project is too much building for that property, regardless of the fire protection problems." k (continued on page 3) RESORT STICKS TO MAY 9 CLOSING Spring skiing is traditionally noted for its corn snow, sunshine and warm weather.
