The ski patrol building at the top of Jupiter Bowl was broken into as well, and windows were smashed. I would say these are not locals." said Phil Jones.

Commissionerscomment on Silver Springs After a thorough consideration of the facts and allegations which have arisen with regard to the Silver Springs Development, it is the decision of the Board of County Commission to enter into an agreement to rezone its property for residential development. The actual change of zoning will not occur until final approval of each subdivision plat and the developer is accordingly bound to a all project ameanable to the County and has complied with The Summit of Code of the County. Development requirements Board of County Commissioners also agree to grant up to 80,00Cj square feet of commercial space for the project upon demonstration that such space is needed to accommodate the residents of the project and the immediate vicinity and that the architecture of the commercial buildings be approved by the Planning Commission. The Summit County Development Code is a novel approach to of zoning aiming which departs from the standard aiming concept Code Our use. best Development and its to each property highest zoned to be of property for the County majority provides to petition the agricultural, but allows the owner of property and zone guarantees to the fchanged County to have the individual land owner that his petition will be granted unless the concerns outlined in Section 2.4 of the Development Code are substantial and override the property rights of the individual land owner. Inasmuch as the Silver Springs area is master planned for residential development and the reasons set forth in Section 2.4 of the Development Code for a denial of a zoning Amendment Petition have not been show, it is our feeling that the Board of than to change the County Commissioners has no choice other of the Development Code are aiming providing the requirements adhered to.

The subject of a heated publk hearing last week, the developers, Partnership Investment Inc., Minneapolis, have proposed the eventual construction of about 1,200 homes and condominiums on both sides of highway near Snyderville. In their decision Tuesday (Commissioner Bill Wallin abstaining), the commission removed the final roadblock to the. project by approving a zone change from agriculture (AG-1- ) to Residential (RR-1- ). However, the actual changing ' of the zoning on the Master Plan will occur on a plat by plat basis. The commissioners did not approve plans for a commercial zone, saying that would be the subject of future ' consideration, When the developers had demonstrated need. Last Tuesday about 100 persons attended a publk hearing on the Silver Springs project at the Park Gty High School U-2- nally would prefer not to see the Snyderville Meadow developed. But, he noted, "When you consider the land is half a mile from the Park West Resort and worth $20,000 per acre, the planning commission has an obligation to permit a reasonable return to the owner. "In light of that obligation, I feel Silver Springs is a good example of responsible development, commented Greenhalgh, who had previously stated the proposed planned unit development is environmentally sensitive. As for actual construction, project consultant Van Martin (J. J. At that meeting opposition spokeman Ike Koleman presented the commission with a 269 signa- ture petition against Silver Springs. Specifically, the petition stated nine points, including water, roads and density, against the project. The commission indicated Tuesday that they had drafted a reply to the petition and would be mailing it to Koleman, who is out of town on vacation. Only two people in opposition to the project attended Tuesdays commission meeting at the Coal-- , ville County Courthouse.

In the brutal heat last Saturday afternoon, 27 horses and 54 humans were busy pushing their bodies to the limit, trying to outdo each other over a mountainous course around Park Gty. They are among a growing number of participants in a sport $ known as Ride and Tie. As in most other races, the object is to beat your opponents across the finish line. But, beyond that. Ride and Tk is quite unique. Since each team is composed of two people and only one horse, me person must travel cm foot while the other stays with the horse. When horse and rider get a certain distance ahead of their teammate, the rider dismounts, ties up the horse, and strikes out on his own. The weary straggler then gets the chance to ride until he passes his teammate. The word his is used here only for convenience, since many of the participants in Saturdays race were women. The rider must take care not to push the horse too hard. There are two vet checks in each race, and the horse is not allowed to continue until the pulse and respiration are within certain limits. Interestingly enough, there are no such checks for the humans. Saturdays race included a wide spectrum: there were veterans of previous Ride and He races, rank newcomers, and even a celebrity or two. The celebrity team, composed of Salt Lake Mayor Ted Wilson, actor Robert Bedford, and a horse whose name is not known, didnt fore so well, although they got plenty of attention. Wilson had to run the entire eight-mil- e first teg when Bedford missed the tie-u- p point A similar lapse during the final leg resulted in Bedford chugging across the finish line, then having 25-mi- le l ' to ride back out in a jeep to retrieve the horse, whkh was still tied up out on the course. teams took the first' three places in the race. Giuck Stalley and Butch Alexander of California finished in 2 hours, 51 minutes. A father and son team from Pleasant Grove, Charles and Greg Lee Johnson, finished fourth, and also won the award for having the best conditioned horse. Bob Kassow of Park Gty and Rem Nehring of Salt Lake took fifth with a time of 3 hours, 40 minutes. Dave Goble and Roberta Ekk-ma- n of Peoa finished eighth, also taking first place in their division as the top team. Another local team composed of Beverly Ross and Dorrie Spurlock of Park Gty finished first in the category. Goble, who works ns a farrier (most people just call me a horseshoer) in Wasatch, Summit and Salt Lake counties, had never been in a Ride and Tie race before, but had travelled to California last month to watch one. I kind of knew what to expect and what the procedure was, he said. The decision to compete came only two months ago. In the weeks before the race, Goble and Roberta Ekkman devoted several hours a day to training, running and riding in the hills around Park Gty. The race went pretty much as they had planned, although the heat was punishing, more so for the humans than the horses. 1 don't think the heat affected the horse that much, Goble said. She recuperated very fast He noted that she was delayed very little in the first vet check. That put bs in a good position throughout the rest of the race. They finished the race only a minute ahead of the second place .team . They pushed us the last eight miles of the race. Until the last half mite, we didn't know If they were going to pass us or not. Out-of-sta- te Goble was appreciative of the support provided by the pit crew k and the City enwd. The cheers were really amazing it was really uplifting, he said. I coulnt believe the support we were getting. "Without that, I think we might have dropped back a little. Beverly Ross also raved about pro-Par- - the encouragement from the crowd. We really needed ft, she said. Like the Goble-Ekkm- team, she and Dorrie Spurlock started preparing for the race only a few months ago. Her routine included getting up at 5:45 a.m. to jog, then riding the horse at right after work. I didn't see any of my friends for months. She spoke of the sense of elation at haring completed the race. 1 tell you, it was the greatest to feeling cross that finish line, ft was worth every minute. Saturday's first place finish was doubly significant for Dorrie Spurlock, ft was her birthday.
