Show Wednesday, March i, 1978 w Snyderville Page 11 Water District Proposed The possibility of establishing a water district in the Snyderville Basin was discussed at a meeting held Tuesday, February 21, at Park West. One of the major questions brought up was whether Park City, which already holds water rights in the area, would be part of the proposed water district. Keyspeaker Jim Kaiser-. Kaiser-. man, County Engineer, said that 13.23 cubic feet per second of water are available in the Basin area. This could accommodate 30.000 to 35,000 people, including in-cluding Park City he said. The meeting was attended by 25 interested landowners, some of whom already hold water rights through a previous brokerage system. Most developments in the area would need access to water rights but if a district is formed it will have to take into consideration these previous settlements. The Snyderville Basin already has established a sewer district, of which Park City is a part. One justification for Park City's involvement in the water district is that as the city grows it affects water available for agriculture in the area. Snyderville resident DA. Osguthorpe has noted a measurable effect ef-fect on his water supply due to Park City's growth. The meeting served to define the issue though no final conclusions were reached. County Planner Max Greenhalgh and County Engineer Kaiserman will continue researching the situation and will reconvene another meeting ,ext month. Greenhalgh suggested the possibility of setting up a quasi-governmental steering committee with representatives represen-tatives from all factions in the area and said federal funds might be available to study the proposal. PARK CITY'S STREETSCAPE: MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE By Patricia Smith Combine man-made elements such as buildings, fences, lights and streets together with natural elements like trees and grass. Add to this a few cars, some pedestrians, a dog or two, and you have a streetscape. Two things determine the quality and flavor of this setting: first the individual elements themselves, the buildings, sidewalks, trees, etc. and secondly, the way in which these elements relate to one another. Because a streetscape is such a diverse entity, improving im-proving it requires coordinated public and private efforts. The private sector has a great role to play in Park City's Main Street revitalization program. Property owners in the Main Street Historic District have an opportunity to subscribe sub-scribe to a facade restoration program offered by city officials of-ficials in cooperation with the Utah Historical Society. Working renovation drawings recommend historically appropriate ap-propriate building materials, cleaning methods, preservation preser-vation of architectural detail, signage and paint colors. Owners of buildings in the Main Street Historic District are being asked for a pledge of five or six dollars per linear foot of the the facade that faces Main Street. This commitment demonstrates community support for the rehabilitation and restoration project. The pledge will be matched by funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, making this consultation con-sultation service available to Park City at a very low cost. The architectural and historic resources of Park City have been recognized locally and by the State and National Register of Historic Places, and measures should be taken to preserve and protect them. Resources of architectural and historical value are scarce, and the ethics of responsible resource conservation place the citizens of Park City and their public officials in a position of stewardship. Park City ordinances have been thoughtfully developed by past planning commissions interested in the visual and historic aspects of our town yet all can be lost if strong support sup-port is denied the planning commission by City Council. It is not the intent of historic preservation policies, orid-nances orid-nances and programs in Park City to return the town to a bygone era or to turn the town into a museum. The intent is not to create an artificial or forced atmosphere to invite historical fakery that can only caricature the past and mock the present. Nor is the intent to encourage the look of undesirable un-desirable and unnecessary exterior "themes" that will quickly become dated and reveal their transient nature. The intent is to preserve and protect the special character and identity of Park City. The architectural and historic resources of Park City contribute con-tribute to the overall environment and the quality of life in Park City. They are especially important because the collective collec-tive effect is more valuable than the individual contribution. Because each significant building makes not only an individual in-dividual impact, but adds substantially to the overall town fabric or townscape of Park City, demolition or unsystematic alteration of significant buildings should be discouraged. A further intent is to avoid adverse impacts on the historic environment, or to minimize the effect of inevitable impacts, by preventing insensitive, incompatible, incongruous or detrimental change. The intent is to encourage sensitive, successful rehabilitation, restoration and adaptive use of buildings to serve contemporary needs and to encourage sympathetic yet modern design in new development to perpetuate per-petuate the architectural continuum. A community commitment to design standards demonstrates demon-strates a commitment to the goal of preserving the architectural architec-tural and historical heritage of Park City. Adherence to design standards will encourage creativity, not stifle individual in-dividual initiative. Property owners are encouraged to seek professional advice in architectural restoration, rehabilitation and adaptive use by subscribing to the Main Street facade design program.

Wildlife Sculptor Exhibits Utah-born artist Clark Bro-nson Bro-nson will be present at the champagne opening of his wildlife bronze sculpture exhibit ex-hibit on Saturday, March 4 from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Meyer Gallery on Main Street. Bronson, considered one of the greatest wildlife sculptors sculpt-ors of the 20th Century, began his career as an illustrator and painter. His work has been widely displayed dis-played in art galleries throughout through-out the country, as well as in calendars, magazines and books. In recent years he has given his subjects a third dimension through his talent in bronze casting, and he presently owns and supervises supervi-ses his own foundry. Branson's art has brought him respect from wildlife critics, collectors and leading lead-ing artists as well as membership in the prestigious prestig-ious National Academy of Western Art, the National Sculpture Society, and the Socity of Animal Artists. He has been awarded three silver medals in the annual competition at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The mountains surrounding Branson's Kamas home are the natural habitat for much of the wildlife he preserves on canvas and in bronze. .GUCOPS o ll IW -v '5U(NDfl8S.SHflKS.COirS.CHIUr-'. wn tiwat DR.6nD PARK BVj We will offer powder skiing in Mill Creek and Big Cottonwood Cotton-wood Canyons and late season corn snow skiing in the spectacular Cascade Ridge area.
