But Deer Valley's definition of "dwelling unit" did not coincide with the Land Management ("ode's, so it was requested by engineer Jack Johnson in 1977 that the dwelling terms be brought together under the single heading "unit." Although minutes from that July 1977 Planning Commission meeting describe the new term "unit." Dering said he was returning to the commission to clarify any misconceptions. misconcep-tions. He quoted from the minutes that it was Chairman Chair-man Burnis Watts' suggestion that unit be defined as "Two hotel rooms or lodge rooms, one two bedroom apartment or condominium con-dominium or single family house or two one bedroom apartments." Watts, however, took ex ception to Dering's "interpretation" "inter-pretation" of those minutes last Wednesday night. "Obviously a two-bedroom apartment is a unit, but nowhere in the code does it ever imply that two apartments apart-ments are a unit," Watts said emphatically. "The minutes reflect that Deer Valley asked for a definition, it doesn't modify the code." Dering pointed out that the Deer Valley planned unit development was based on a number of units, as defined in the minutes. He emphasized em-phasized that sales have been made based on that definition, and buyers purchased pur-chased property with the understanding un-derstanding that they had the options listed in the definition. "Don't start that with me," Watts warned. "At no time did we intend to double the density there with a definition. That was never our intent, and how it tin definition' got in there I don't know. If it takes another hearing, we'll do it. But there's not a chance we'll allow that definition." Dering argued that the definition would not double the density in the area, since land buyers would not opt in every case to build one-bedroom one-bedroom condominiums. "But the whole intent was to resolve the question of units, and our sales and financial planning have been based on that definition." Dering said. "I'm not disputing that that may not have been your intent, in-tent, but it was voted on and approved in the minutes, f don't know how much clearer you can get." "We'll go back to the original intent and approval if you're going to get into semantics." Watts countered. coun-tered. "Don't vou think vou're Holiday Village Signs The Right Size At Last A new design for signs at the Holiday Village shopping center were back before the Planning Commission last week, and this time. Stan Johnson is sure he's got it right. The commission sent him back to the drawing (wards at the May 14 meeting alter it was discovered the signs were just short ol double that allowed by city codes. John-Min John-Min returned to the May 2K meeting, and this time they were just Ml percent over the limit. He apparently miscalculated the frontage road area that would determine deter-mine the area ol the sign, and in addition, did not include in-clude air space between the tree standing sign and its base as part of the final figure. Last Wednesday night. Johnson said he now has redesigned the two sign? which will be placed at the shopping center entrances on Highway 224 and 241!. Each sign will have two laces, each 64 square feel, "including the base and air gap." Johnson said. He said the bases will be stone, with the signs made of wood ol the same color and design of the individual shop signs in the center. Commission Chairman Burnis Watts asked if John son could move the sign south on Highway 224. since the area already is confusing with the major intersection and the Holiday Inn in the area. Commissioner Bill Coleman disagreed with Watts' recommendat ion. noting that the sign was to point out the mam entrance to the center, and if it was moved south, might lead shoppers onto Honiestake Road instead. City Planner Bill Ligety questioned the wisdom ol allowing the signs to be perpendicular to the road, suggesting that other business owners with signs Hush to their buildings might return to the commission requesting large signs perpendicular per-pendicular to their property. Coleman commented thai the signs are commercially more effective placed perpendicularly7, per-pendicularly7, since drivers might miss the sign's message if it was placed parallel to the properly. The signs, which will advertise ad-vertise the latest flicks at the Holiday Village Cinemas, and the Alpha Beta. Wolle's and Shops, will appear before the commission at its June 25 decision session. Pedestrian Injured in Hit and Run Accident Police are looking for a Hit-and-run driver who slammed into a 17-year-old West Jordan youth walking along the edge of Utah Highway 224 early Monday morning. Douglas Ray McCarty of 3896 West Country Squire Drive in West Jordan was admitted to the intensive Hospital, and was listed in serious condition Wednesday. Wed-nesday. According to Russ Pace of the Utah Highway Patrol, McCarty was walking toward Kimball Junction just west of the Silver Springs entrance when he was struck by a vehicle travelling in the same direc- was thrown onto the hood of the car and into the windshield wind-shield before falling onto the side of the road. He was hospitalized with a broken pelvis, broken femur, and other injuries.

Thaynes Canyon Six Revised Plans Presented Plans were submitted at last Wednesday's Planning Commission meeting revising the Thaynes Canyon 6 project from a three-lot to a two-lot subdivision. Bruce Erickson of J.J. Johnson Associates said the revised plan was to accommodate accom-modate water drainage concerns con-cerns through the subdivision. sub-division. In the original plan, creek water was to have been piped around the project, but in order to preserve the natural vegetation, the stream will be kept intact, and will flow through the development. Commissioner Rusty Davidson commented that he would like to see included in restrictive covenants, areas along the stream where building would not be permitted to protect the water and vegetation. City Councilwoman Helen Alvarez asked who enforces covenants if the homeowner's association is defunct. Chairman Burnis Watts answered "usually no one." Alvarez commented that covenants are not worth asking for if they aren't going to be enforced. Commissioner Com-missioner Bill Coleman disagreed, saying if they are enforced, then it was worth including the stipulation. Resident Mary Lehmer say Restaurant v. PARK CITY JH! Ill Sunday Brunch Served from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Special Sunday Dinner 2:00p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Open Daily 8:00a.m. Closed Monday Reservation Accepted 649-6466 596 Main St. suggested that the covenants might have a better chance of being enforced if they are part of the approval process. City Planner Bill Ligety noted that Thaynes Canyon 1 homeowners submitted a letter let-ter requesting that a restrictive restric-tive covenant, similar to one placed on their development, limit the height of the single family houses to 25 feet. Ligety said the letter noted some of the 6 units would be between the ttl units and the mountains, and if allowed to be higher than 25 feet, would restrict their view. Erickson said the project developers "would be glad" to consider the homeowner's request. Principal Named for Parley's School The Park City Board of Education voted Tuesday to approve the hiring of a principal prin-cipal for the Parley's Park Elementary School. Jerry Allan Pederson, 31, will begin work at the school in the fall. He spent the 1979-80 1979-80 school year as assistant principal of an elementary school in Anoka, Minnesota. Pederson has worked for the last seven years in elementary education. He has a Bachelor of Science degree and a doctorate in elementary elemen-tary education, both from the University of Minnesota. getting a little arbitrary, Burnis'.'" Dering asked. "Maybe." Watts answered. an-swered. Commissioner Bill Coleman interjected that he didn't "see the gray area being discussed, since the difference between one two-bedroom two-bedroom apartment and two one-bedroom apartments seemed minimal. Watts commented that the approval ap-proval of the Deer Valley PUC was based on the number num-ber of pillows. Coleman noted that the definition in no way changed the pillow count. "I'm trying to figure the basis of the logic to your opposition," op-position," Coleman said to Watts. "There won't be any more people, there will just be two structures instead of one." When pressed again by Dering that the definition was suggested and approved in the minutes. Watts exclaimed. ex-claimed. "It's not my definition, it never was my definition, and it's not our intent." in-tent." "You can't operate a business like that Burnis. face lads," Dering charged. The former City Councilman added. "I may not always have read all the council minutes, but I always checked the items with my name next to them before I voted to approve them to make sure everything was right. You can't change the rules after we've gone out and sold the property. You think we're trying to get the density increased, but we've sold property to people who bought it thinking by the definition in the minutes. There's no malintent on our part." x Both Commissioner Rusty Davidson and Watts said they did not believe sales had been based on tnat definition, to which Dering commented. "You're telling me I'm trying to subvert that definition, when I'm saying it's in black and white." Commissioner Mike Vance remarked that the minutes are an approved record of meetings that have to be relied upon by future Planning Plan-ning Commission members who might not have been serving during certain discussions. City Councilwoman Helen Alvarez commented that the council reads and approves minutes at the beginning of each meeting, and asked if the commission practiced the same policy. She said she had not witnessessed that procedure at the last several commission meetings. Watts commented that secretarial problems sometimes precluded minutes being approved ap-proved from the previous meetings. At the close of the discussion Watts said, "We'll have to do some research to see if that (definition) quote was somewhat as quoted in the minutes." Police Heporf Jupiter Property Management has asked Park City Police to investigate in-vestigate several phantom phone calls made from a Pay Day condominium between May 26 and 28. According to Police Chief Michael Crowley, someone, apparently apparent-ly using a key; had entered the unit and made long distance calls without the knowledge of the owner. Crowley said calls also had been charged to the number from phones in other locations. An investigation was begun June 13 after the management company received a complaint from the owner. Kenneth Kummer, 1957 South 3rd East, Salt Lake City, called Park City police late Thursday when he discovered the left front tire of his late-model Firebird had been slashed. The car was parked in the Holiday Inn parking lot. Kummer discovered the damage about 11:20 p.m. A vehicle belonging to Nelson Pinder, 2011 Little Kate Road, was reported missing Thursday. Pinder told police he had loaned the vehicle to a "Friend" May 31, and has seen neither car nor companion since. Police are investigating. Park City Public Works Supervisor Leon Uriarte filed a complaint Monday charging Craig Kunkel of P & C Trucking with causing substantial damage to a city street. According to the police report, Samson Avenue was ripped up last week by some form of tracked vehicle. Richard D. Clark of Orem told police Friday that his 1974 Chevrolet pickup had been hit in the left side while it was parked near the Park City Resort. The assailant apparently fled from the scene of the crime. About $430 in cash was reported stolen from the office of-fice of the Claimjumper Hotel either late Sunday night or early Monday. Police said a locked cabinet had been forced open. A fence at 1060 Park Avenue was damaged Friday when it was hit by a vehicle being driven by Kevin Kimball of Park City. Kimball reportedly swerved to avoid another vehicle which had braked suddently in front of him, then lost control con-trol and hit the fence. He was given a citation for following too closely. Students Plan Pool For Treatment Plant When you think of a cool, sparkling swimming pool and a recreation center, do you think of the old sewer treatment plant? Maybe not, but that's the first place a group of University of Utah students went to plan one for Park City. As part of a Commercial Recreation class held during the spring quarter at the university, a group of students stu-dents came to Park City to do a feasibility study. During discussions with the Park City Recreation Advisory Committee, the group decided de-cided what Park City needs is a swimming pool and a recreation center, complete with a patio, weight room, gymnasium. racquetball courts, sauna, arts and crafts room and a kitchen. Since the city has tentative plans to develop the old sewer treatment plant into a park or some public facility, that seemed a good spot for the students to plan their project. woman Tina Lewis, the half-dozen students determined deter-mined the sewer land was an ideal location because it is centrally located and would have enough! area for generous gen-erous parking. The group even used existing cement treatment structures as a base for the patio, rather than including the cost of having them removed. "They were really very clever." Mrs. Lewis said. "They handed us a 175-page. feasibility study that gives us a great starting place. We eventually would change several things if we actually built it, but the information they came up with was very valuable." Mrs. Lewis said the students stu-dents planned the project in three phases: a 25-meter, eight lane pool; a gymnasium gymna-sium with racquetball courts, weight room, and sauna: and a community center with an arts and crafts room and kitchen. The entire project would cost $3 million. The councilwoman said once the study was completed, com-pleted, the students needed 17 copies of the voluminous plan, and the university was not going to foot the bill. Jo Scott, head of the Park City Swimming Pool committee, came to the rescue, donating the $135 printing costs from funds collected from local enthusiasts over the last year. Mrs. Lewis said while the city has no immediate plans to pursue the recommendations recommenda-tions of the study, it does give them a head start on such a project. Funding is, as always, the major obstacle, obsta-cle, and collecting $3 million in metal cans on display all over town may take a while. But the local pool committee is not giving up hope, and still asks for donations toward the project. While water in a community swimming swim-ming pool may be just a g I i m mer i n the eye, the study is food for thought. |
