Show Wednesday, March 1M&76 Page 3 Second in a aster In view of the rapid rate of growth projected for Park City this summer . the Newspaper has been doing a series of articles investigating in-vestigating the projects planned for the community as well as the town's ability to assimilate this expected growth. In this weeks article Councilman Jan Wilking outlines and explains Park City's new , Master Plan, which is expected to be adopted sometime in May of this year. ' Wilking serves as the ' council's liaison to tne planning commission and as chairman of the Master Plan Committee, Park City's new Master Plan, Wilking explained, has been developed through a two step process. The first step, which was begun in 1973, was titled 'Development Guide and Update of 1966 Comprehensive Com-prehensive Plan.' The community's planning needs were researched along with setting up general guide lines for the second step which involved a formal revision of the existing zoning ordinances. or-dinances. . The development guide and comprehensive plan was prepared by a consulting firm from Salt Lake City called the ArchitectsPlanners Alliance. Alli-ance. The firm, which was paid in full by grants received from both the federal and regional governments, studied Park City's planning needs and submitted a summary of their analysis to the planning commission and the city council.

This second phase is still receiving public input and will be updated before' it is scheduled to be presented to the city council for adoption on May 13. Although work on the master plan was temporarily brought to a halt last week with a ten-day restraining order, work on its final stages is expected to resume in the next few days. Before outlining some' of the specific changes made in the revised zoning ordinances, or-dinances, Wilking said.'I think it is important to first look at the basic philosophy behind city planning and then, secondly, to see why a new master plan for Park City is needed. According to Wilking, 'City planning is a process for avoiding future problems, such as inefficient municipal services, and to see that, the resourses of the city are equally allocated while protecting the quality of the nntMmiinittl' W kinradded'. 'If Park Citv hoped to meet these planning objectives, in view of the community s rapid growth, it was imperative that an updating of the existing zoning ordinaces be undertaken.' . Offering specific examples of how Park City outgrew its 1968 zoning ordinance, Wilking sighted the annexation an-nexation of properties in 1971, 1973 and 1974 that more than m REALTOR mnips JUST LISTED: 3 bedroom home on Ontario On-tario Ridge.

In 1971 the Thaynes Canyon subdivision was annexed along with the resort golf course. In 1973 the Prospector Square property was annexed into the city and in 1974 the Holiday Ranch area was brought within the city limits. The councilman pointed out, 'These annexed areas, along with the natural growth of the rest of the town, obviously ob-viously made the existing ordinance outdated.' In outlining the changes proposed for the revised zoning ordinance the councilman coun-cilman stated,'The new zones basically deal with the un-deleloped un-deleloped property along with modifications of some of the old zoning in an attempt to preserve the historical character of the community. Basically, the new ordinance reduces the density of the :ity, both new and old, by -estricting the amount of development'. Wilking added, 'It also protects many of the natural areas remaining in the community, such as the hillsides and streams.' Answering some of the criticisms directed towards him as Chairman of the Master Plan Committee, Wilking stated, 'Well thought out planning and a clearly defined ordinance that reflects the community's capability of absorbing growth will not only benefit the town as a whole but will also offer developers more certanty in planning what they can do in the future. This will lessen the likelyhood of overextending on the use of our resourses and, hopefully, prevent the need for further building moratoriums.' fit noilRhmmrnimi bnr, n ONE OF PARK CITY'S quaint new buildings build-ings now available for purchase.

In addition, ad-dition, a nonrefundable $5 processing fee will be levied against each applicant. Commission It is also proposed by the Eligibility Committee that the Chamber get its share of the action by assessing a ten percent commission on all works sold during the festival. Other methods proposed Friday night for fund raising included charging for either parking or transportation at the Resort parking lot.' Newly appointed Police Chief Thayle Lund told the group that a parking fee would encourage visitors to seek "free" spots. This would mean many parking violations and additional work for a police force that will be "stretched to the limit.',' ' After hearing Mr. Lund, those present seemed inclined in-clined toward some type of transportation charge for shuttle service between the Resort lot and Main Street. The possibility of expanding ex-panding display areas into Swede Alley if warranted by a sufficient number of participants par-ticipants was also discussed. , r Officer John Bircumshaw said such an arrangement would be possible only if Swede Alley is closed to vehicular traffic' and if emergency lanes are maintained. Food and Beverage Food and beverage concessions con-cessions on Main Street was another topic which garnered considerable attention.

Officer Bircumshaw commended the Park City rugby team for "the exceptional ex-ceptional job" they did last year in policing their beer garden. ; Chief Lund added his support to such operations as long as they are adequately supervised. ; "I'd rather get hit in the head with a paper cup than a bottle," Lund said in reference to the outdoor draft beer sales as opposed to the harder containers used by regular bars. Those present concurred that food and beverage concessions should be allowed and proposed that they be awarded td various non-profit groups in Park City. ."...'i-.-'.

Friday Night If present plans prove feasible and acceptable to the board of directors, entertainment en-tertainment ' and various activities will be staged the evening of Friday, Aug. 13, to kickoff the festival. These festivities would be designed not only as an added attraction for visitors, artists and residents but also as an aid in the promotion of overnight stays which will be an integral part of the advertising ad-vertising campaign. The . recommendations formulated during the Friday night Arts Festival meeting and the Sunday night Eligibility Committee meeting will be submitted to the Chamber of Commerce board of directors Thursday morning.. It is expected that the board will approve the majority of the proposals. r Hi A A 0 FOR RESERVATIONS PLEASE CALL 649-81 90 or 649-81 1 1 ext. 3864 FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE |
