Show Wednesday, March 24, 1976 Page 5 Second Lift This Symmr S - : . S . Park City Ski Corporation President Ray Johnson has announced that a new chairlift servicing' the ' U.S. ; s Ski Team runs and providing 5 access' to the King Con-js Con-js solidated area , will be con-. 3 structed this summer. ' S The new lift will be in- stalled at the same time as 5 the previously announced Jupiter Bowl chair. : The base of the lift will be located at the point where ' I Gotcha, First Time and ; Three Kings merge with i Treasure Hollow. The new : chair will be accessible from S either the Three Kings or First Time lifts thus f alleviating skier pressure on the gondola and Payday Chair. j ; The chair will unload below j the ridge separating the Ski Team runs from Claim-pumper Claim-pumper and the triple chair area, and will be located 'between the unloading points of the Crescent and King Con : chairs. ; "The primary purpose of ; this chair is to provide access up the mountain' Johnson noted. , . , ; He said the "present thinking" is that a tunnel will be burrowed to connect the . unloading point with the cat. track which leads from the Crescent chair $o the King on chair..... y-, ?'Our original plans were to Kfimajor work on the gondola this summer to increase its capacity and to build the training runs lift during the summer of '77," Johnson said. '? He reported : that difficulties dif-ficulties arose in getting the engineering from Europe , needed for upgrading the Daly Avenue Complex Approved With Conditions ' Brent Gold's plans to construct four four-plex units at the mouth of Daly Avenue was approved by the Park City Planning Commission ; Wednesday night with the provision that each of the " buildings be equipped with , fire-fighting sprinkling system. Previous to the commission's com-mission's vote, Gold had offered to install sprinklers in rear two buildings of his project which have extremely ex-tremely limited accessibility for fire fighting equipment. Commissioner Bob Wells said, "Protection of the adjacent property was of the most concern," in the commission's com-mission's decision to require sprinklers in all four buildings. The height of Gold's , buildings, which reach 35 feet, in relation to the fire fighting capabilities of the fire, department had also been a continuing point of concern for the commission. "It's looks to me like a double standard," Gold said "Upwards of a half dozen buildings approved in the last six months or built in the last six months to a year are as high or higher than these buildings." nA ,k iu Dorlf Pitv'fi Justice of the Peace noted , that under existing zoning he gondola so it was decided that the chairlift would be installed in-stalled this summer and the gondola. work would be performed next summer. However, diesel engines will be incorporated into the gondola drive system this summer, giving it a low speed capability it previously lacked. This will enable the gondola to operate in high wind conditions. As for the new lift, Johnson remarked, "The only thing we see that may be a problem is the possibility that we can't get the proper gear box." He noted that the normal lead time in ordering the gear box is mid-February but he expressed confidence that this would not present a problem. Complimenting the new chair, which will "serve everything from Silver Skis to Gotcha," will be an intermediate in-termediate return from King Con to 'the base lodge. At present, only advanced runs connect King Con to the bottom of the mountain. The new return will consist of a 'cat track which phases into the lower, less difficult portions of advanced runs. ;" Anyone capable of skiing the King Con chair will be able; to" reach, the bottom by means of this jjgW return," Johnson said. Referring to the mountain improvements which have been announced, Johnson remarked, "These additions are a reflection of our confidence con-fidence in the future of Park City and -, we hope our optimism op-timism is shared by all other members of the community." could build 25 apartment units on his land. "My whole intent was to do a superior development," he said. '' ,, Noting that the commission's com-mission's decision "puts me in a bind," Gold said he could proceed with : an almost identical plan under a permitted per-mitted use and, "If this is the commission's final ruling, I'll have to look at that." After a motion by Commissioner Com-missioner Jerry Perrine to grant approval with sprinklers in only the rear two buildings died for lack of a second, the total sprinkling motion was passed 3-2 with Commissioners Bill Ber-tagnole, Ber-tagnole, Bob Wells and-Anne Clark in favor and Wayne Iverson and . Perrine disesnting. ; r ; Debate over Gold's plans led Councilman Jan Wilking to suggest that the planning commission meet with the fire department to formulate requirements for sprinkling systems. Commissioner Wells recommended that the city council be asked to make all building uses other single family dwellings conditional uses. This would allow the commossion to impose fire 'protection measures . on all such dwellings. , Baha'o FaKG? To Organize In Park CKy Members of the Baha'i Faith, a religion that reaffirms reaf-firms the truth of all the previous world religions in its efforts to unite people of all backgrounds, are in the process of organizing a program in Park City that will present , the basic teachings of one of the fastest , growing religions in the world. Founded in 1863 by Ba-ha-la, the Baha'i Faith has an estimated U.S. congregation of 50,000 to 60,000. When Ba-ha-la was banished from his home land of Persia by the Muslims, he traveled to Turkey and eventually to -Israel, where the Baha'i international center is now located. After the death of Ba-ha-la the leadership of the faith was passed on to his eldest son, Abdul Baha. Unlike many religions the Baha'i Faith has no official clergy or defined rituals. The body of the church is governed by a nine member board. The number nine is frequently used by the Clown Day For all you latent Bozos, the day of fulfillment is close at hand. Those supressed desires can be actualized by -participating in Park City's Third Annual loi which will W Wednesday, March 31. The frivolity of fright wigs, rubber noses and comical costumes combined with some serious drinking make this a highlight of the local winter calendar. Clown Day commences at 8:30 a.m. in the Sirloin Saloon where coffee, donuts, Bloody Mary's and makeup will be provided. A parade down Main Street is next on the itinerary with all clowns boarding a Resort-bound Resort-bound Car 19 bus. ,- At the Resort, the gay group will make a few runs together then go their separate ways until lunch time. ' . ' ; ' ' . A buffet lunch will be served at either the Summit House or the Mid Mountain Lodge and will be accompanied ac-companied by a -punch guaranteed to pack a punch. As is usual on Wednesdays there will be quite a few clowns racing NASTAR but some will be in costume on this particular Wednesday. Registration for this "local" event will be conducted con-ducted at the Sirloin Saloon through March 28. The cost is $14.50 if you are in need of a costume and $7.50 if you BYOC. ; V '" - A percentage of the take from this craziness will go to the Park City Ski and Sports Club, so it's not only a good time but for a good cause as well. . Cancer Kits At the March PTSA Board Meeting two "Nature of Cancer' teaching kits for the junior and senior high schools were presented for their educational use from ' the American Cancer Society by Suzie Williams, Summit County West President, and Peggy Fletcher, Publicity and Education Chairman. ' The teaching kits will be a permanent part of the library and it is hoped they will be utilized to their fullest extent. The Marsac Elementary School received literature appropriate for three different dif-ferent age levels concerning the prevention of cigarette smoking. Baha'i's to symbolize unity as it is the largest single in-terger in-terger that still connotes oneness. . ' The Baha'i Faith, which could be described as a contemporary or progressive religion, presents a theology steeped in logical ' thought. For example, the relatively new religion recognizes other religious leaders such as Moses, Buddha or Christ as representing a continuation or progression of world prophets. Each prophet according to the Baha'i teachings brings a new message to the world. For -instance, they believe Christ brought the message of love while Ba-ha-la delivered the message of unity. Members of the Baha'i Faith, who are instructed to simply present their church's teachings and to leave the decisions up to the individual, in-dividual, will shortly be organizing public meetings and musical gatherings in Park City. 7-11 Will Change n Seven-Eleven district manager Jay Wilson agreed Wednesday night to bring the1 iel4sftClfgn int0 "RS llrance witTltne demands of the Park City Planning Commission. The commission had .initiated legal action against the store for erecting a sign which did not meet the criteria set by the commission. com-mission. ; Wilson said he had been unaware of objections to the red, white and green sign since all complaints had been directed to the Young Electric Sigh Company which 7-Eleven had commissioned. Chairman Burnis Watts said, "We made it clear that a conventional 7-Eleven sign would not be acceptable." Watts said the commission's com-mission's stipulation that the sign be of natural material with neutral tones had been "reiterated on three occasions." oc-casions." ..v.. : Wilson said the sign would be sandblasted and that the Young company would be required to provide an acceptable ac-ceptable sign before 7-Eleven would make any payment. Hiway Pushed The Park City Council, at their Thursday . night meeting, instructed City Planner Van Martin to send a letter to the State Highway Commission presenting Park City's steadily growing need for another road running parallel to Park Ave. The new road, which has been in the planning stages for some time, would most likely run adjacent to the Silver Creek and would connect Marsac Avenue with highway 248. ' Although the highway commission is currently working on the proposed highway they are not expected ex-pected to take any action until sometime in the 1980's. . Because of the city's need for another throughway in the near future along with the request of a number of property owners in the Silver Creek area who have been left in a state a flux as a result of the yet unspecified course of the road, the council urged . Martin to encourage the highway high-way commission to take some definite action. '' Sig Chamber of Commerce Motes Cultural Affairs Joan Seman presented the , Chamber Board with an extensive report on Art Festival '76. ' Eligibility and Rules were presented in rough draft form and included the following purpose, judges, definitions of art, suggested rules, instructions in-structions to applicants, acceptable categories, and unacceptable categories.- Advertising progress was reported by advertising chairman Pat Smith. Bids for the Festival logo must be in . this week. They will then be reviewed by the Art Festival .Committee and one selected ; to be used as the '76 symbol. Revenue producing projects will be an out-growth of the" logo and will be of benefit to .both the Chamber and the artist. The artist information packet should be ready by April 1, 1976. Projections Presently, we can only speculate on the revenue to be realized by the Chamber from possible sublet concessions con-cessions and activities, as well as Chamber operated services to possibly include transportation, parking, food and beverage, entertainment, en-tertainment, etc. But, as openers, the registration fees plus 10 percent of exhibitors gross sales will net the Chamber a more reasonable profit this year and justify TTTN O acti : IHIave ixsrtalair o&edical chech-ano.
