PARLEY S SUMMIT HEARING The Summit County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing April 25, 1978, at 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse in Coalville, to consider a Conditional Con-ditional Use Permit for Parley's Summit Resort. How About II? Would you prefer to see the city or private enterprise take possession of the Miner's Hospital? Thrillseekers We think it should be privately owned by the Thrillseekers and converted into a chicken brothel and gambling casino. Sissie Byer I think the city should own it. It's within the city limits and it would look good if they supervised it. Vince Offret I'd hate to see the thing moved, but I'd just as soon see the city have it. It's an historical site built for the miners. It was supposed sup-posed to be reverted back to the original owners when it 'was sold. Duffy Prudence I would like to see it restored and I'd be the man to restore it if the city were to own it. Jim Sweatfield-tobe! Gary Moen Since Main Street has been accepted ac-cepted to the historical register. I think it should be city owned so it will be assured of proper restoration. Richard Salowey I think the town should take a little more interest in its past as well as its future. The building should be city-owned and kept in the flavor of the town. People should not be so short-sighted. The town and its buildings should be developed to establish Park City as a year-round resort. Tom Evans I think it should be turned back into a hospital. It makes no difference whether it's city-owned or privately owned as long as it's properly restored. -It should be city owned. It used CLEANUP On Monday, April 24, city workers will drive through the city' and pick up debris" and discarded discar-ded objects.

No Input A public input session concerning con-cerning city application for a federal Community Development block grant dfew no response from local citizens on Wednesday, April 12. Another session is scheduled for April 26 at 8 p.m. in the Treasure Mountain Moun-tain Inn and city officials are hoping this hearing proves more fruitful. The block grants are available to communities with a relatively high percentage per-centage of moderate and low income families.. The money can be used for residential renovation, city im- a . i. $rjy v r, J ( ' "..'jrriinn' Sissie Byer rrr Duffy Prudence Gary Moen Tom Evans pruveiiiem projects, historical preservation and urban renewal. The size of the grants range from $250,000 to $750,000. Although there is no guarantee that a Park City application would be approved, ap-proved, City Planner Dave Preece said "the city's chances are good." Under federal guidelines, the city would design programs to assist the community com-munity and individuals would then apply to the city for assistance. The money also could be used for municipal projects. I a uzftersbuheBdibr Opposition To Parley's Summit Editor: I write in response to an article in the March issue of Mountain West magazine about John Prince, "En-treprenuer "En-treprenuer Extraordinaire" and the "thrilling activities" planned for Parleys Summit. Sum-mit. In so doing, I submit myself to those nasty labels sure to follow by the free enterprise en-terprise establishment. The mentioned article is simplistic, adulatory, and embarrassing to read. We are enlightened with the news that Mr. Prince, grand man that he is. can still be "down to earth" and "has emotions just like the rest of us," that he "loves the solitude of our area" and "dislikes people who talk too loud." It further seems to point out that Mr. Prince has tasted the fullness of life and is in a position to know what thrills and excites us. To substantiate this we read that he has traveled widely touring Europe, Africa, Russia, India and Japan in a desire to "see" the world. And I realize with a sense of doom that if all goes according to his plans we are shortly to benefit from his empirical knowledge of how our world should be. Did he learn anything from his claimed adventure of "sleeping under un-der the stars" in Europe and North Africa?" Did he gain a respect for the natural un-trammeled un-trammeled beauty of the land, or an appreciation of how its unspoiled beauty can enrich the soul and spirit of man? Was he thrilled at all by contact with simple, honest people living happily surrounded by natural beauty without backyard bump boats and race tracks? Did he appreciate real people involved in real and worthwhile pursuits, or were they, mentally discarded as irrelevant in his pursuits of titilation. How could his travels and concepts differ from others so markedly that they should culminate in a search for the money-making money-making banalities of the fun houses of the world. How could he be so naive to imply that we all think Tivoli Gardens Gar-dens such a magical place that we're eager to live in its simulated midst. Are we to be taken in by a man, who considers himself a shrewd investor, when he tells us we'll love "125 mountain moun-tain acres of fun, thrills, spills and excitement?" Will we believe him when he says that all this thrilling, thronging clatter is going to be wonderfully in keeping with good taste and the beauties of mountain life? My awareness cries out in disbelief. Is there no end to these men and their plans? What form of insanity would allow this mindless disaster! But wait should we be heartened and cheered by Wally Wright's claim that it will be a boon to the shiftless youth of Salt Lake now aimlessly dragging main street by bringing them to the mountains for meaningful fun. Isn't this Wally the investor hiding behind Wally the philanthropist? philan-thropist? Let the promoters convince convin-ce us that they have incredible in-credible mechanical thrills to offer that no one should miss, or if we prefer a peaceful day roller skating over paved mountain trails! By all means let's accept it all and help further the em-' pty junk food diet of television farce and Disneyland and fill our environment en-vironment and our children's lives with canned, thrill-seeking experiences. Let's isolate them from reality hide them behind, cuue-pie facades and then be surprised to discover that they haven't a discerning, illuminating thought in their heads. Let us continue to use and abuse Summit County for all it's worth. This, our small part of the grand state of Utah that the state fathers have been extolling for its pristine beauty and mountain moun-tain paradises. Let's all take part passively or aggressively and glory in its mutilation, and when there is nothing left to feed exploiter's ex-ploiter's greed they will move on searching out new horizons to conquer leaving behind a Hollywood backlot fit only for the mechanized sheep we've allowed ourselves to become. Marilyn S. Caravaglia Editor: With the recent reopening of the old Gorgoza Ski Resort comes proposed activities for the summer season. The Parley's Summit Resort is proposing a maze of rides to include a "LeMans" Race Track, Go Cart Track, Water Dodgem Motor Boats, Alpine Slide, Grass Skiing, etc., etc., etc. This is only the beginning of a 125 acre amusement park. As concerned citizens of the Parley's Park residential area, we are strongly opposed op-posed to any motorized activities or any kind of mechanized racing. We believe be-lieve the race tracks and other activities will result in substantial noise intrusion and a degradation to the entire area. This area has long been the home of people seeking the quiet and seclusion, the wonderment of the mountains moun-tains and the lifestyle of living in a beautiful rural area. The proposed activities would be a part of a booming carnival atmosphere not in harmony with the area at all. Tranquility is still found at the "Summit," but if this type of recreation is allowed to be developed, the whole concept of mountain living is lost. We sincerely hope the Summit County Planning Commission will consider the feelings of the great majority of residents living in the area opposing the activities. We feel the Planning Plan-ning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners Commis-sioners should consider guiding guid-ing the county growth so it will not detract or deteriorate deter-iorate the surrounding areas involved. If you are concerned about what is proposed and about the future development of this county, attend the Public Hearing scheduled April 25, 1978, 7:30 p.m. Coalville Courthouse. Your opinion needs to be voiced. Concerned Residents of Hidden Cove Owners' Assoc. Editor: I have noticed a tendency in some local officials to feel sorry for developers who lose money in projects. Concerning the monetary loss in Parleys Summit Resort this winter, I wonder where sympathies really ought to be directed. Astute businessmen Wally Wright and John Prince, eyes wide open, surely knew that trying to change the County Master Plan from residential to recreational was futile. The only way to expand the resort is through conditional use permits granted by the County Planning Plan-ning Commission. As Chairman Chair-man LaMar Pace stated, "All outdoor recreation of a commercial nature should be of conditional use." Did they think such permits could be obtained easily, considering the cautious nature na-ture of the Commission and the necessity for public hearings? They knew that all development planned around the resort was to be residential, residen-tial, and their fellow developers develo-pers would not take kindly to a "Lagoon East." They were aware of the many residents already spotted in the area. It is public knowledge that the stretch of Highway 80 running by the resort is designated a "Scenic Highway." High-way." They seem to be amazed that anyone might object to a LeMans racetrack, race-track, plus other noisy affairs, in the middle of this residential section, with a church ward soon to be built nearby. Perhaps a little homework would have saved them a lot of trouble and money. I feel sorry for: Those who live in the vicinity now, who will see their property values plummet, plum-met, their access roads jammed (by hot rod enthu- Continued On Page 4 |
