Show Beckert nominated for Planning Commission spot 'rk City News Thursday, January 6, 1983 Page A5 Main Street businessman Stephen Deckert has been named to fill a seat on the Park City Planning Commission. Commis-sion. City Manager Arlene Loble said his name will be submitted for approval at today's meeting of the City Council. Deckert, a 10-year resident of Park City, fills the vacancy left by Bill Mammen, who resigned recently. re-cently. Deckert told the News-piper News-piper the future of Old Town is one of his biggest concerns. con-cerns. He considers it an important historical area, even if the homes aren't in good shape. "Most of the homes are substandard by todays standards," he said. "The city planners even identified my home (102 Daley Avenue) as historically historical-ly 'non-contributory'. But the area has too much history. So many of the old-timers lived in these houses." The city would suffer if big developers were to buy up these small lots. "I'd hate to see big hotels popping up all over town," he added. "Projects like that should be as close to the resorts as they can." Deckert said he was unsure un-sure about the city's plan to hold down house size in Old Town by restricting floor space. As alternatives, he suggested giving fee waivers as an incentive for smaller homes, or devising ways to break up house facades. Turning to Main Street, Deckert caid he preferred a more historic look in the area, although he didn't want to see replicas either. Building heights on the street should be kept down, he added. "Anybody who could envision this street as a Grand Canyon will realize that your saleability is greatly lost." He said the city could waive fees to set cooperation from builders on Main Street.; Lower buildings are an advantage to the developers themselves, he pointed out. "It reduces the amount of space you're required to build for circulation." He commended the new design guidelines for Main Stret, saying they will encourage en-courage variety. "I'd like to have more retail-type stores. I'd love to get a market here again." Deckert previously lived in Southern California, where he obtained an Associate of Arts degree in Architecture. He studied engineering at California Polytechnical Institute In-stitute and the University of Utah. "I came out to Utah to be a ski bum," he said. He worked for the Greater Park City Company, in the days when it was developing ;iir 4 i Wm V. Steve Deckert Ski conditions Ski conditions at area resorts remain quite acceptable, accep-table, in spite of the lack of measurable snowfall since before Christmas. Unfortunately, the National Weather Service reports that the likelihood of a big storm in the next few days is fairly remote, although the possibility of light dustings remains. Weather in general in the next few days should be a mixture of clouds and sun, with widely scattered light snow showers. Westerly winds around 20 miles per hour will be common. Daytime highs are predicted for the mid-30s with nighttime lows in the low 20s or high teens. All lifts at all resorts are currently in operation. Park City reports a 69-inch base with a trace of new snow as of Wednesday morning. Surfaces, as is the, case at all local resorts, are hard-packed. ParkWest has a 66-inch base, while Deer Valley reports 62 inches. - Thaynes Canyon and Three Kings projects. During four years at the J.J.Johnson firm, he worked on the Deer Valley and Park Meadows projects. He had an opportunity, from the inside, to observe Park City's growth and the changes in its planning procedures. "Deer Valley had an Environmental Impact Im-pact statement an inch-and-a-half thick. Today the statement would be ten feet tall," he said. Today, Deckert owns Alliance Al-liance Engineering, in partnership part-nership with John Demko-wicz. Demko-wicz. The planning for the town has been good, he said, considering its growth, "The commission has been pro ductive, strict, very concerned con-cerned and very skeptical." The prospective commissioner commis-sioner said he will judge projects on an individual basis. "You have to ask if a project makes good planning sense and if it doesn't impact too greatly on a residential area," he said. "The builders have to prove that all the pieces fit together." How far will Park City grow? "I don't know, but I think our water is going to limit our growth before the land does," he said. Deckert said he was excited ex-cited about his nomination. He promises to bring the perspective of a land planner to the commission. "I've always been involved in design." Me named fire marshall Council to discuss water study At today's meeting, the Park City Council will be asked to approve a $35,000 contract with the engineering engineer-ing firm of J.J.Johnson and Associates for further water studies in the Park City area. According to City Manager Arlene Loble, the three-part study will involve research on water rights in the Park City-Snyderville area, the monitoring of current municipal muni-cipal water sources, and a study of 47 different businesses busi-nesses and residences in Park City at times such as Christmas, President's Day and the Fourth of July in an effort to estimate peak demand. Loble said that an inventory inven-tory of current water supplies sup-plies was a crucial facet in the city's efforts to meet the standards spelled out by the Utah Department of Health. And a study of peak demand, she said, would help the city to estimate the water resources re-sources that will be demanded de-manded by new developments, develop-ments, "so we have a fair means of assessing the water resources they ought to bring with them." The proposed contract is scheduled to be discussed by the council under new business. City Manager Arlene Loble said Tuesday that Ron Ivie, the city's chief building official, would be sworn in Thursday as the city fire marshall. Loble said Ivie would assume the fire marshall 's responsibilities in addition to his regular duties. She said he is well qualified to fill the position. Ivie will fill the void left by the departure ot Hero Johnson, John-son, the previous fire marshall mar-shall and a building inspector inspec-tor for the city, who was laid off in a budget-cutting move. "A lot of his responsibility as fire marshall was in the plan check area," Loble said. The role of deputy fire marshall will be assumed by Detective Lloyd Evans of the Park City Police Department.
