In retrospect, Martin stated, "It would have been nice to have hired a fulltime planner to devote his time to the new ordinance from inception in-ception to completion." "One man pushing the ordinance all the way through would have provided continuity' con-tinuity' and gaps in this continuity have hurt it." When Adopted If and when adopted, Martin said the revised zoning ordinance "will accomplish ac-complish the principle thing they (Master Plan ' Committee) Com-mittee) were after.

Martin' noted that zoning is a : "continually . flucuating" matter and that the revised ordinance will be outdated when aopted. However, it will provide a much more contemporary con-temporary base from which to work .than : the present ordinance. , i. ' Historic Zone, Regarding opposition to provisions for a historical zone in the older section of Park City, Martin responded, "I think the definement that is given to the historical area and the designation of a historical zone will be one of the most valuable parts of the 0 jh LI Blonquist and Alan Frandsen and the building height restriction is two and a half stories. Frandsen and Blonquist have requested that their 11 acres of land "be rezoned because they, say they are losing money. Frandsen said, "The interest along with the money we have tied up on the land is killing us." He added, "The quotes we received for cleaning up the eye sore have been from 10, 15 and 20 thousand dollars." Bestlnterest While presenting v, his request to the council, Frandsen said, "Everything weve done has been in the best interest of Park City.

He said the fear of property devaluation due to historical zoning is unfounded since ' everywnere eise me eneci has been just the opposite." "I think everyone realizes the value of Park City's 'historic character,", Martin said. "It's the thing that makes us different from every ski town in the nation." Martin concluded by. saying; "The old ordinance alludes to a historical' district and notes the importance of preserving our historic! character but ' it does not . provide any guidelines for such preservation." . -,: ; ;- just outfoxed you but we're; not here to try to outfox anybody. We're here completely com-pletely on a legitimate basis and we think we should have some kind of consideration. Each time we come here we go two steps backward." A Hearings . Councilman Wilking explained ex-plained to the two real estate developers that the planning commission is scheduled to have the revised zoning ordinance or-dinance finished by March 15 and that the council at that time will hold hearings on rezoning . requests. ' Wilking also informed them that a planning commission public input meeting will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 11, and that the commission would appreciate ap-preciate their suggestions at that time. (Muost qj'-'rri; ;.. .$sj("... ; Education Center Backers Meet With Planners In Special Session Backers of the University of Utah's Continuing for Park City met with the planning commission special session in a last Wednesday night. Commissioner Burnis Watts, filling in for vacationing chairman John Strand, stated at the outset, "The Planning Commission is convinced the concept is a good one." : Plans Plans presented to the commission by architect Arnld Fluckinger depicted an education building with meeiina facilities of various sizes with the largest accomodating ac-comodating 350 people, a recreation building, , 15 residential buildings housing 318 living units and 582 beds, four tennis courts, a swimming swim-ming pool and six parking lots on ten acres of land adjacent to Prospector Square and Village. The center is to be utilized by the University for . professional s seminars and conferences. When not in use by the school, the facilities would be used by the Amechor company which, while maintaining ownership of the rest of the project, proposes . to donate the educational building to the University.of XJtalnDirectoV. of Conferences and Institutes,. Dr. George Reiser said, "The president (of the U of U) and the whole University have been very interested in such a facility for a long time and this is the closest we've ever come." Regarding the placement of University seminars and conferences, Reiser said, " "Park City is not the easiest place to sell right now." He blamed this condition on the lack of meeting facilities, a situation which the proposed center would remedy. , Noting that his department familiarizes prospective groups with the facilities available in the Salt Lake City area but does not recommend any one place, . Reiser : said Park City, with the needed meeting space, would present a very attractive at-tractive package. Housing t The on-site housing would be offered at very modest ' prices to University users but . groups organized by Amechor would pay substantially sub-stantially higher rates. The rate structure is to be supervised by two representatives from the University, two from Amechor and one which is mutually acceptable to both. Competition When questions arose as the effect the housing units might have on. existing lodging in Park City it was ' stated that both the Department Depart-ment of ' Conferences and Institutes and' Amechor would be generating their own traffic and thus would not infringe on the established lodging market. Amechor recenty hired Janet Casey, formerly of Ramada Inn,, to bring in groups during those times when the University is not using the facility. - Ski groups will be among those organizations which will be recruited. .1 Target Date Amechor has set June 14 as their proposed ground breaking date and hopes to have the project completed by June of 1977. r It is expected that several additional meetings between Amechor and the commission will be necessary before any decision is reached on , the fate of the proposal. ; No-Fare Problem Discussed With Lewis Bros. Represe Transportation Committee members Jari Wilking and Lloyd Stevens met with Gene Sain of Lewis Brothers Stages Wed. night in an attempt to resolve some difficulties which have troubled Park ffil f e transPortat,on Late starts and an in sufficient number of buses operating at times were two of the main complaints registered by Wilking. r Sain responded that he has had problems with vehicles breaking down and that this also accounts for two of the buses not being painted as specified and not having ski racks. , Stevens stated that , the painting of the buses was important but that it was hot as crucial as the actual Fifth Street Made One Way By Council Fifth Street, from Park Ave. to Swede Alley, was made one way running east by the City Council at their Thursday night, Jan. 15, meeting. .

Wilking also noted that a bill submitted to the city by Lewis Brothers for more than $14,000 was far in excess of the service which had been provided. , Sain disagreed and Wilking and City Manager Wayne Matthews said they would scrutinize, the bill closely for discrepencies. "The bus ' system ..' is creating some real problems," Wilking said. . On a more positive note, Moana Corp. - general manager Dennis O'Brien reported that questionnaires circulated among guests at the Resort condominiums indicated that the no-fare transportation system was being well received by out of town visitors. involved with the steep and often icy incline that runs from Park Ave. to the bottom of Main Street and the ' ; frequently congested Post uttice parKing lot which is part of 5th Street to say one way?
