BUDGET HEARING Adoption of the 1978-79 city budget will be considered at the City Council's June 15 meeting. VARIANCE ASKED The Board of Adjustments has been asked to meet concerning a variance from the Park City Land Management Code. Ron and Ella Mahoney They own the property described as: Northwest corner of Block 24, Snydervflle Addition: The property is located at 1375 Park Avenue and is known as the Norge Village Laundromat. The proponents would like to do an expansion on the existing laundromat but they are prohibited to do so because they are considered to be a non-conforming use in their zoning district. The Board of Adjustments has therefore been asked to grant them a variance. The request comes under the authority of the Board described in 10-9-12 and 10-9-1 1 of the Utah Code annotated 1953 and also Chapter XIII of the Land Management Code. The Request will be considered by the Board on the 22nd of June, 1978 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. All interested persons are invited to attend.

NEW ZONE PROPOSED The City Council of Park City has been asked to meet and consider a new zoning district to the Land Management Code. The purposes of the New Zoning District, Recreation and Open Space, are to establish and preserve districts for land uses requiring substantial areas of open land covered with vegetation and substantially free from structures, roads and parking lots, while permitting recreational pursuits and preserving recreational developed and undeveloped open space land. Parks, golf courses and certain types of public or private recreational facilities are suitable uses of this district, provided that such uses remain open space in character. A public hearing has been scheduled for review of this proposal by the City Council and interested public on the 6th of July, 1978, at 7:00 p.m. at the Treasure Mountain Inn. HowabouMft Who do you think will win the men's and ladies softball league this summer? Jay Meehan Every year I pick the Bums and this year is no different. However, they have yet to win it. The Outlaws are this years dark horse. I have no idea about the girls. Gary Burdick Being the male chauvinist I am I have never watched a ladies game so I can't comment on their league. The men's league will finish Alamo 3rd, Spencers 2nd and The Outlaws 1st. Darrell LaFranier The Bums will win because I want my top hat back. The Red Banjo will win the ladies with the Alamo Specials coming in second. Ski Boy Who wins the men's division depends on whether Big Shot paints Dick's house and the ladies will depend on whether Chris is old enough to play this year. Ben High I don't care with a foul ball. Randy Jones I think the men's will be between the Bums and Spencers but again Spencers will win. The Red Banjo will win the ladies without a doubt. of money, property or artifacts arti-facts to be accepted. It was expected that at the Wednesday, Wednes-day, June 14 meeting, the by-laws would be reviewed by members and the election of officers would take place. Acting society leader and local history buff Patricia Smith suggested the "64 buildings project" as the first agenda item for the preservation-concerned society. so-ciety. Those buildings, MmiFiev inn - i in 7 mc as long as I don't get hit located within the Main Street Historic District, have met the criteria and are currently being reviewed in Washington, D.C., for national historic significance. signifi-cance. Smith told Society members mem-bers that a capsulated history his-tory of each of the buildings was completed by Phil Notarianni of the Utah State Historical Society for an , approval presentation to state preservation officer Mike Gallivan but she noted '. that a more detailed and complete history is needed for reference. Smith said she hoped each member would take on specific buildings and do a complete ownership and architectural history, expecting that one building could be documented in two weeks. It was felt that by the end of the year all 64 buildings could be detailed and compiled. The intention would be to present the histories to the Park City Planning Commission as a reference to be used before issuing permits to alter any of the buildings. "Our hope is to let the histories and the society serve as an advisory to the commission to let us review re-view with them the changes before issuing a permit," Smith said. "Any more insensitive development in the historic district will lead to our losing the funding for Main Street rehabilitation and restoration." Smith pointed out that hours volunteered by the society or other concerned citizens is matched by state historian Notarianni. Smith said his help and expertise was invaluable and hoped more Park City residents would become involved in (tit wtW ftWHHRrt r j up x JXfc Gary Burdick Ski Boy Randy Jones Bldg. preservation society projects. pro-jects. Smith said as each building history is completed, com-pleted, the report will be used in her "Preservation Notes" history column to keep the locals up to date on each building's background. Smith said the detailed histories would serve to protect the interests of people neighboring the historic his-toric buildings, as well as to aid in uniformly upgrading the Main Street district,. - With each in-depth report it was hoped that recommendations recom-mendations for new construction con-struction scales, typical lines, streetscape and materials could be given. "We ask that anyone with services to provide will help the historical society," Smith said. "We would also like to see the society in a healthy financial situation and would be most grateful for donations to further our cause." The Price Was Not Right In last week's article on Wally Wright's proposed donation of land for the Miners Hospital, we stated incorrectly that work on the Union Pacific Depot would be done by John Price Associates of Salt Lake City. The work will be performed by Park City resident and former Mayor John Price. We regret this error and apologize to Mr. Price. TOO Mkim . ty? J OFFICE it A issr; X it Oft m.fmt w pfers 'Couldn't. Resist' Dear Editor: I couldn't resist commenting when I read the letter submitted to your paper by Marilyn Caravaglia. It was so full of interesting items even though few bear little resemblance with fact. First item: She is concerned about unchecked development in the County. In this, she is referring to the sad state of affairs existing when it only takes a development like Silver Springs ten months to obtain Master Plan approval. It should, of course, take at least three to four years and a minimum of ten public hearings for such action to occur. Second item: That Max Greenhalgh is quitting his job with the County and going to get involved in development himself. Oh, the shame of it. Max, as the rest of us, should have to decide at age 12 what occupation we will engage in and we shouldn't be allowed to alter our course, especially in the field of land development. Third item: That Commissioner Bill Wallin has dealings with the developers of Silver Springs. This is terrible! I should think that he wouldn't even be allowed to speak with them. Although it is only reasonable that when a person takes on the responsibilities of a government position like the one Commissioner Wallin has, he should completely change his lifestyle, sell all he has that could cause conflict of interest and, possibly, even move to another County so there can never be a conflict of interest. Fourth . item : , Tha t . there are i Planning Commission Meip.bfH w ho jmight h a v.e "an interest in growth and proper planning. A law should be passed that doesn't allow realtors, business persons, farmers and or any land owner in the County to be a Planning Commission Member. Fifth item: That the master plan could be changed so soon after adoption. What a travesty! Once a master plan is adopted it should never be changed. The only areas that should be allowed to develop are those that were initiated prior to the master plan's passage. - Sixth item: That the Silver Springs area is from approximately Kimball's Junction to Old Ranch Road. This is an exceptional use of the word approximately since she only missed the northern boundary by 2 to 3 miles; but this, of course, is of little consequence. Seventh item: That there is insufficient water for the project, since the spring that is to be used only provides enough water for 360 hookups. hook-ups. Surely the State Engineer, the State Water Pollution people, the Weber A66RAVATH? AT r 6f or tsasin water Conservancy District and others who were used as a source for the information contained in the development's water report must have been paid off by the developer since their statements concerning water and water rights are considerably different from those presented by Marilyn. She. of course, has more knowledge about water, water rights and water storage than the engineering firm and attorneys hired by the owners. Eighth item: Within this development there is no allotment for public land to be set aside for future use of residents. It is a shame that the developers are only leaving some 786 acres as open space and that only one school site of 10.4 acres, a fire station of 1 acre and at least 15 acres of open space is to be left for active recreation. This is entirely unreasonable, of the 1400 acres involved not less than 1300 acres should be left as open space and developed for recreation. Ninth item: That there is no plan at this time for operating an adequate road to handle the increase in traffic. Certainly the State Highway representatives cannot be believed when they stated in the Environmental Impact Statement for the development that State Highway 224 will be improved to a four-lane road within the next three to 15 years. Tenth item": That there is little concern for the resultant rise in taxes. Even though the development when completed would generate enough taxes to be 25 of the 1977 Budget it is still unreasonable that a piece of ground that represents 0.2 of the private land in the county should only be able to " generate this "amount in taxes. It is also unimportant to note that'lh'is development unlike any other in the county to date is willing to be taxed with an additional 7 mills to offset the cost of snow removal and street maintenance. The area should certainly be taxed more heavily than this to help fill the deficit which exists due to the existence of Summit Park. Eleventh item: That the County should adopt and enforce stringent unalterable guidelines for controlling the siege on Summit County. Certainly the County should do this. They should also place a limit on family size and it should be made impossible for outsiders or even our children to move here or remain in the area. The impact of our existence should be imposed elsewhere but not here. As a closing note, this has been fun and it possibly shows the direction some people would like us to be going in but I fear it is of about as much positive value as the letter submitted by Ms. Caravaglia.
