I New faces on the Planning Commission The next meeting of the Park City Planning Commission Com-mission is brought to you by the letter C. That stands for Carol ; Calder and Cal Cowher. They are new members on the commission that looks at new construction. construc-tion. . The City Council was not really suffering from a "Sesame Street" hangover when they appointed Calder and Cowher last Thursday. Their choices are qualified for the jobs. Calder presently pre-sently serves on the Board of Adjustments and has a background in real estate. She is also, incidentally, the first woman to serve on Planning Commission. Cowher is an engineer and construction manager who worked the other side of the fence when he represented Deer Valley. "I've watched the Planning Commission and argued with them for two years," he said. Now he is anxious to start working with them. The four council members on hand last Thursday voted unanimously to appoint Calder, Cal-der, but Wells abstained on the vote for Cowher, citing business reasons. And these are not the only changes coming for the planning board. At last week's meeting, the panel elected Bill Mammen as vice-chairman to replace Mike Vance, who has departed depar-ted to serve as director of community development for the city. The other vacancy will be created when Commissioner Com-missioner Bill Coleman 6:00 Black (t4x deductable) takes office as City Councilman Coun-cilman in January. Calder has lived in Park City since 1973, and has seen changes good and bad sweep over the city. Currently, she said she is concerned about building heights on Main Street. "But it's difficult to downzone areas where high buildings are now allowed. ' ' One change she likes, she said, is the trend toward developments that are clustered. "I'm an advocate of projects giving open space or dedicating land to public use," she added. Calder has already tasted controversy. She sat on the Board of Adjustments when it denied a parking and height variance to Park City Village in the midst of construction. con-struction. She said the request for variance did not meet the legal test of "hardship." "hard-ship." "The impact would be on building yet to come," Calder added. She serves as development director (i.e. fund raiser) for the Kimball Art Center. And she is a little worried that business donors to the Center Cen-ter would be affected by actions ac-tions she takes as a Planning Commissioner. "I would hope people can separate that and it doesn't turn into a conflict of interest." For two years before joining Kimball, Calder used her real estate license to work for Gump & Ayers. She played a big part in organizing the Park City Summit County League of Woman Voters, and is involved in-volved with the League's study of planning and zoning issues. iiiiaiiiBiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'iiiiitiiiiliiiiiiiiiiM Pearl (Jody's) l'!i't''tt'''''l!!l'il'!IHIISI!!!!llllll Calvin Cowher brings "a technical expertise to the comission. He al. 'mik ' great deal of re&t what the city has accoii. plished. "In 1979, the planning department had no support staff and the city had one building inspector," he said. "It has grown from an immature im-mature body to one that can handle problems." City Planner Bill Ligety deserves a lot of credit for guiding the revision of the Land Management Code, and rezoning, Cowher said. But now, he added, the Planning Commission should stop occupying its time with minutiae and leave details to the planning staff. "Instead of deciding how big a tree should be, the commission should be directed direct-ed toward bigger things, like the master plan and the updating up-dating of the street plan." Cowher said he is confident con-fident about he staff planners' plan-ners' ability to handle detail. The primary thing they lack now, he indicated, are guidelines for trails, hillsides, etc. He said the Planning Commission should also judiciously consider the economic impact their directives direc-tives have on a developer. He said he did not foresee a conflict of interest with Deer Valley, where ' he worked for two years. The plans he was involved with are already set by the Planning Plan-ning Commission. "And their future process is unknown to me," he said. "I had nothing to do with it." "Developer" gceiith to be a dirty word these days, but Cowher said builders should nit . ; nlanning panel to ... the mix of philosophy and backgrounds that now exist. "There's a ton of talent there," he said. And the talent shouldn't always agree. "Disagreement causes better decisions," he said. "I would be very disturbed if the panel were all pro-development pro-development or anti-development." anti-development." Building projects should pay their own way, he said, and "they should bring something to the table that will keep the ambience of the town." The Queen Esther development for instance, provided a tot-lot and tennis facility, and it conformed to the Deer Valley trail system. As always, the public is invited in-vited to come and get Revenue sharing budget discussed The audience had no quetions for the City Council alst Thursday when public input was sought on the planned use of federal general revenue sharing funds. City Manager Arlene Loble told the sparse audience that the Council had approved the revenue sharing budget for this fiscal year when they adopted the city's 1981-82 budget in July. However, the federal government govern-ment requires that a public hearing be held prior to the expenditure of the funds. As proposed, the $175,000 revenue sharing budget would be spent on the payment of the Park City Fire District's ladder truck .($35,500); the purchase of new radios for the police, Public Works and Planning and Building Departments ($50,000); the purchase of a street sweeper ($65,000); and the purchase of new police vehicles ($25,000). For those unfamiliar with revenue sharing,. Loble commented on Monday that the program began with the N'ixon Administration. "The federaf government ' nasicaiiv saVVW!K w wartS5WIigowiW'' ments how to spend their money, so we'll give 'it to them and let them decide for themselves," she said. "It was a marvelous ' program with almost no strings attached; at-tached; all we ht-d to do was report on how it was uged. -j." "The federal government set up a bank, essentially," she continued. "It was very simple they gave it to state and local governments. But revenues grew in state governments because in P.C. debate team wins in Bountiful The senior debate team of Wade Wallin and Denise White won three out of a possible four rounds during the National Forensics League fundraiser held Saturday Sat-urday in Bountiful.

Talk to both new commissioners com-missioners and one clear message that seems to emerge is: There's better development and better city planning. Calder said, "Developers are becoming more sensitive." Despite her Board of Adjustments vote, she commended Park City Village for their conscientious conscien-tious work with the city. And as for the city? "Woe to the person that tries to pull the wool over its eyes," said Cowher. . Calder will take office on the commission by January 1982, and will serve as their representative on the Board of Adjustments a role formerly for-merly filled by Mike Vance. Cowher will sit with the planning panel at their Dec. 16 meeting. comes rose, so it became very controversial to share revenues with them . " The program now has gone from being controversial to nearly extinct, said Lobel. One of President Reagan's budget cuts has been federal revenue sharing. Loble said the state governments are receiving funds for the last year, while city governments govern-ments will receive money for one more year. "Reagan's thought was, how can the federal government govern-ment share revenues when there's a deficit?" It's possible city governments govern-ments will receive funds for three more years, Loble said, but there is no appropriations ap-propriations bill to guarantee guaran-tee it. The funds were allocated on a population basis, the city manager said. And while major cities have depended on the money as a large portion of their budget, Park City has not. "Other communities get millions of dollars because of their population," said Loble. "For us, the population is so low, the revenues we received were big .apiece (of the Xt)!!ge:- Wp5.nqt.reliant on tnose revenues 10 pay city employees' salaries or anything like that. What we've done is invest the money." Loble said Park City has been receiving about $75,000 a year in federal revenue sharing funds, which must be spent within three years of the allocation. The proposed $175,000 expenditure expen-diture discussed last Thursday Thurs-day represents approximately approxi-mately two years worth of funds, she said. "They did really well," she said. "I expect to see some good things from them this year."
