Photo by: Greg Schirf The Snyderville Basin Sewer District board of directors and the Park City Council are scheduled to meet on May 6 to discuss ramifications of the board's recent decision to refuse new connection approvals pending pen-ding the bond election slated for the end of May; Discord "; ' The board's action and statements , by board chairman Mel Flinders exp-pressing exp-pressing uncertainty as to the bond election's outcome have sparked a wave of discord 'among local developers arid city officials. Public endorsement of the bond sales is needed to finance the ambitious sewer project. . Adding to the apprehension is an ambiguity which has enveloped the boards' decision. Some, have in terpreted the action to mean that no hookups, will be allowed except to already existing connections. Others see the decision as allowing new connections in recently approved subdivisions at the north end of town but not in the older section of the city. Still others feel the board vote allows connections for all subdivided portions of the city including the older sections. ': ' " The May 6 meeting will attempt to bring the picture tnto sharper focus. ' - . ' ' 1 -. ' - Issue : .';''; Whatever . ' the x interpretations, in-terpretations, the real issue is the bond election. If it passed, i the city's projected summer "building boom" should proceed ' unhindered but should the district's voters, 80 percent of which reside in Park City, reject the bond sales, it will pose some vexing problems for the city and county. , ; With the city's existing sewage treatment plant operating at, capacity and discharging effluent below EPA standards, failure of the bond election could seriously retard local development in the near future.' f Aside from the suddenness with which doubt was cast upon the election's outcome a switch from revenue bonds to general obligation bonds has caused concern. Whereas ; revenue bonds would entail no obligation on the part of those using the System, the G.O. bonds require a guarantee by property owners within the district and could mean a mil levy if sewer revenues fail to cover bond retirements.

Parking Question Arts Center director Alan Crooks and architect Max Smith presented plans for the $175,000 renovation of the Eley Garage on 1 Keber Avenue which will house the non-profit venture. The familar Park City problem of parking once again surfaced as a major topic of discussion. The city council, at its April 15 meeting, voted to lease city property north of the Union Pacific Railroad building to the Center for parking if inclusion in the Main Street Special Improvement district was not possible. After investigating the situation. City Attorney Carl Nemelka advised the council that the. Center, which will have 12 spaces on its grounds, could obtain the Swede Alley rights but only if it paid the full assessment borne by other participants. Greater Park City Company, previous owner of Eley Garage, had been making . partial payments for the improvement im-provement district but no parking privileges were intailed. ,. "Fits Poorly" In regards to the amount of parking needed by the facility, City Planner Van Martin said, "The Center fits very poorly within the guidelines of the current ordinance.". He noted that limited retail space, the absence of fixed seats and the small number of employees which . the Center will retain made it - difficult to calculate the parking requirement. Martin observed that the , facility's 14,000 square feet of floor,, Continued on Page 3 mm CITY GOVERNMENT SKI NEWS SCHOOL NEWS LOCAL SPORTS EDITORIAL COMMENT REAL ESTATE CLASSIFIEDS PUBLIC NOTICES TELEVISION LISTINGS HOW ABOUT IT?
