Old Affect New Highway The City Council, at its Thursday night meeting, is expected to take action on two dilapidated but historic homes on Pacific Avenue which lie along the route of the proposed state highway. City planner Dave Preece said he has been notified by the Utah State Historical Society that the two homes would be "adversely affected" affect-ed" by the new road. According to Preece, age is the only basis for historical consideration. One of the homes pre-dates the great fire of 1898 and the other was built in 1916. He said the city has two options if it wants the highway to proceed unimpeded. unimped-ed. It can move the homes piece by piece or demolish them. He said a decision to raise the structures would end the matter without jeopardizing the highway.

He said holes being dug in connection with the lighting project will be filled as soon as possible but added that some excavations may have to remain open overnight. Saddlle Proj . Changes T Stymied in four attempts to get his "saddle project" past the Planning Commission, engineer Jack Johnson revealed Monday he will switch from single family houses to condominiums for the hillside area east of Highway 224, adjacent to the Holiday Ranch. Expressing concern over density and an unwillingness to have the ridge line broken visually, the commission Wednesday night voted 3-0 against 15 houses on the 10-acresite. 10-acresite. Johnson now intends to present plans for 30 condominium units divided into three clusters which he says "fit nicely with the terrain." "I don't think there was anything wrong with the other project," the engineer said Monday, "but this represents a rethinking of the plan in an attempt to satisfy the Planning Commission." "We compromised as much as possible on the PUD-type (planned unit development) project," he added, "and now we've gone to a completely new concept." Johnson said developer Neil Davidson preferred single family houses to the condos but has agreed to the condominium plans in light of the Planning Commission's actions. Although he says he "still strong on the other project," Johnson endorses the new plans. "I think the condo project works better with the site,?' he said. "There's a lot less ' impact:''' "" iiv' In addition to the 30 units, the revised plan calls for two tennis courts, a swimming pool and cabana, and a barbeque area. Johnson said the city's zoning ordinance permits up to 43 units under the planned unit development provisions. 3, 000 feet of Thrills and Park City Resort Noon Cornelias At Wednesday night's Planning Commission meeting, Commissioner Roy Reynolds said the 15 single family houses proposed for the saddle area was "damn dense" and reaffirmed his desire to protect the ridge line. To initiate action on the proposal, Reynolds made a motion to approve the project and then, along with commissioners Greg Lawson and Kurt Nelson, voted against it. "I'm at a loss at what to do with this project now," Johnson lamented after the decision. "We're trying to do this in the most aesthetic manner," he continued, "and the owner of the land should be able to develop it." Commission chairman Burnis Watts replied, "The concern is density." mm a Main bireei HMH.

Responding to Lawson's comment that the commission did not want the ridge line "intruded by home," the engineer said foliage behind the houses would hide them from the Holiday Ranch and Park Meadows homes. "Foliage drops leaves in the winter," Reynolds . replied. Reynolds later commented that Johnson's plan for the saddle area "gets better and better" and that "this is by far the best one." 1 "I don't know where to go," the engineer responded.
