City laws dealing with utilities will be considered for adoption at the council's December 16 meeting. Volume Two An appeal by William Henrion and W.P. Langford to rescind the conditional use permit granted to a shopping mall-apartment complex to be built at the bottom of Main Street was unanimously unanimous-ly denied by the City Council at a public hearing Thursday ' night. , ' Court? ,With the Park City Planning Plann-ing Commission's October 12 decision to issue the permit upheld, it appears the construction con-struction plans of Califomian Robert Johnston to build six commercial shops and 12 apartments can . now be halted only the the courts. According to attorney Robert Felton, who represented repre-sented adjacent property owners Henrion and Lang-ford Lang-ford at the hearing, "We'll be making one last effort to reach a settlement this week." .-If an agreement is not forthcoming, the attorney indicated the matter would be taken to court where ownership of a disputed strip of property would be contested contest-ed along with the conditional use permit. By Acquiescence ' The strip of property, in question Ues approximately; One foot Inside Johnston platted property line and, according to. Felton, has served as a boundary to the Langford property "in excess of 20 years." The attorney also argued that Langford's garage, Construction Bonus WtthouiRs BorieffR Each day we awaken to another cold but fair and dry forcast come true, those of us in countless ways dependent upon the skiing tourist grow another grey hair, pull on another long face and rewind and play back yesterday and the day before' s pathetic belly-aching lunchtime tape. It certainly isn't an overly cheery noontime crowd in the Double E these days where staring into your emptying plate as you eat is the sign: "Due to ' the increasing number of bad checks received receiv-ed this time of year, all checks must be okayed by the manager." And we sit there knowing fully well all we have is exactly one of those to-be-written rubber models to pay for the tears in our beer. But didn't Paul Simon not too long ago sing that "One Man's Ceiling is Another Man's Foor?" This week we set out to find yet another snowless story: we set out in our car (that ' summer vehicle we'd planned 1 long ago to stash away in some garage) to comb the streets and back roads of , Park City in search of some- , one now buttering the bread , we pass by at the market.

Felton conceded that the property ownership question is a matter for the courts and not the City Council and based his clients' appeal on the "scanty evidence" under which , the conditional use permit had been granted. "No Unfettered Right" Contending that a conditional condi-tional use permit is "no unfettered right," and claim-, ing the Planning Commission Commis-sion decision on the Johnston building "is not in the best interests of the community," Felton listed the undesirable effects he felt would be created by the proposed building. Parking The attorney singled out parking "as the biggest concern." - ' fL L , A ,..IMIIH . 1.K lk?

All at one construction site just up the street. So we went over and spoke with Roy Reynolds at the Blue (now very, very faint) Church, where for a good part of the summer he and, it seems like, half the town have been converting it into five apartment units and a couple offices. "I'm. totally grateful that winter is late in coming this year," Roy told us. "Everything "Every-thing I'm asking for in the church is dependent upon parking." Across the street from the Blue Church Roy intends to build four additional units above a somewhat underground parking facility. "But," he added, "as soon as my gravel for the parking lot is in I'll be praying for snow just like everyone else." While a great deal of people are losing money or kicking themselves for having extended that credit because of the dearth of. any measurable feet of flakes, Roy told us the weather will wind up saving him "thousands of dollars." He has been able to hassle-free finish the church's skylit roof, close-in all the windows and paint the entire structure, all of which he had inked as potential stumbling blocks. "Just to give you an Lpcally Owned Newspaper I S3 I 0M(i(o Admitting that Johnston's building would lie within the designated historical district for commercial use which entails no parking requirements, require-ments, Felton asserted that parking is still a "serious problem" which has not been carefully considered by the Planning Commission. "The zoning may permit it but the conditional use permit should not," he told the council. Citing the Kimball Art Center and two restaurants in the immediate area which tax the available parking space, the attorney stated, "It is fictional to think that people will use Swede Alley during the winter time. They're going to be parking around the block in front of my clients' houses." example," he said, "the foundation across the street cost fifty percent more this week than it would have three weeks ago, just because it's cold." "The problem we run into is the cold," reiterated Bill Hart, whom we found cementing a foundation just as one arrives in the Park Meadows subdivision. "Once the ground freezes we have to insulate, which costs everyone every-one more, including us, because we can't put all of it back on the owner." Hart said that snow sometimes, although a pain to work amongst, actually helps, because of the insulation it provides. After the foundation where we spoke with him, Bill has three more to erect. "It's been nice working this long," he said, pointing out the WEATHER Snow on Thursday (cross your fingers) with flurries possible through . Friday. Dry Saturday and Sunday.

Number Twelve Other Problems Other concerns, which, according to Felton, were "not thoroughly investigated by the city" included the 40-foot wall which would rise next to the Henrion and Langford property and which the attorney described as a "monolity." Felton cited the "obliteration "oblitera-tion of light" which would result from the tall structure blocking sunlight to his clients' backyards. In addition, the attorney said the building would make the rear of the Henrion and Langford homes inaccessable to fire fighting equipment. ' Other Side Following Felton's presen- conton page 4 financial situation, "but frankly, I'm ready for the snow. Foundations next summer could be few and far between if we have a mediocre winter." Moving on into Park Meadows, to the sales office in search of Enoch Smith, the project's contractor, or Frank McDonald, his super-intendant, super-intendant, we found Kay Wade, who through the firm of Gump and Ayers, is the chief sales representative for the development. Mr. Wade told us they've been able to "put in five more foundations founda-tions than they had planned for this year due solely to the weather." Athough Wade is a ski-instructor ski-instructor by winter, although he termed his snow situation attitude as "ambivalent," "ambiv-alent," he told us that from a cont. on page 5 |
