Whiskey Springs Architect and Planning Com-missioner Com-missioner Roy Reynolds presented plans last Wednesday for an office building and restaurantprivate club to be located on the northeast corner of Park Avenue and Snow Country Drive. The building will be situated between bet-ween the Silver King and First Security Banks and will contain 35,000 square feet of office space and 4,750 square feet of restaurant and private club space that will have a capacity of 100 people. Reynolds described the building as having two levels of underground parking with three floors of commercial commer-cial space. The restaurant will be on the top floor, with each level overlooking an interior garden area on the ground floor that' will be illuminated by an arcylic skylight. The concrete structure will be covered by heavy timber framing, with wood framed, double insulated glass and a galvanized mansard roof. Each floor will have an exterior deck are that will sport shrubbery in the summer.

Park City resident Mary Lehmer asked Reynolds to again explain the underground parking, to which the architect replied that there would be one underground lot and one lot at ground level. "In other words, this would be a four-story building," Mrs. Lehmer stated. "That's right, it would be four floors," Reynolds said. "But the levels are terraced back and the mansard roof will make the building appear less tall when viewed at street level." Mrs. Lehmer took exception to the number of parking spaces provided for the combination office and restaurant area. Although the number num-ber of spaces provided in the plans meet city requirements, Mrs. Lehmer Leh-mer said that number, is inadequate for the use of the building. Reynolds commented that the restaurant was designed to be used in the evening hours, reducing the number of cars in the lot during the day. "Is there anything to prevent the restaurant from serving breakfast and lunch?" Mrs. Lehmer asked. "No, but it is intended to be used primarily at night so that the uses of the building are not in conflict," Reynolds replied.

"I like the building, Roy, I think it's a nice design," Lawson said. "But it does seem tall." "We've attempted to minimize that with the terracing and the roof," Reynolds reassured. "We're proud of our structure and think it is a first in a new generation of office building structures." Prospector Square Theatre Conditional use approval was requested at the meeting for a twin movie theatre to be located at 2072 Sidewinder Avenue, directly west of the Grub Steak restaurants in Prospector Square. The project proponents, partners in the Trolley Square theatres in Salt Lake City, noted, "If you've seen Trolley Square, you know we do a first class job with the construction and running of the facility." As described, each movie theatre would contain 250 seats and would show first-run movies on a schedule "as close to Salt Lake's as possible." The theatres would be entered from the existing parking lot on the west side of the building and would butt up against the now-bare cinder exhibits, solar food and workshops. The Park City event is being held in conjunction with activities in Salt Lake City which culminate in International Inter-national Sun Day on Saturday, June 23. Everything from puppet and mime shows to solar food dehydrators and cookers will be featured in Liberty Park on Sun Day.

The proponents said the building materials used would be masonry with large graphics of film stars displayed on panels. The Trolley theatres in Salt Lake currently sport that type of art. Canvas or wood canopies also would be used to create a "marquee" look, as well as to break up the large wall area necessitated by the movie screens. At least three members of the commission commented that more detailed plans for materials used must be submitted before further Park . V :.'.:,... vv .. : :. " . :v . r .. w. - "r;CX.- , . . . Budget Ub 12 Pet Next year's school budget, totaling $4,107, 993 in expenditures and some 12 percent larger than the 1979 budget, was approved Tuesday night by the Park City School Board. Despite budget increases, area homeowners will not see a mill levy increase this coming year, due in part to recent state legislation that reduces the basic local tax levy required for participation in state-supported state-supported school programs from 28 mills to 24 mills. Two areas of the budget will be supported by mill levy: Maintenance and operation (the day-to-day running run-ning of the schools, from heating and lighting costs to teacher instruction) and capital outlay and debt service (including costs for building the new elementary school and purchasing new equipment and buses ) . Instruction costs account for over 54 percent of the maintenance and operation budget. Total teacher wage expenditures are up by 16 percent over last year, partly due to increases in-creases in individual salaries and in part because five new teachers have been added to the district force in response to a growing student population, which has increased by almost a third in two years. State reimbursement programs will cover the loss of the four mill, drop in the maintenance and operation portion of the budget. Residents will not see a corresponding correspon-ding four mill drop in their taxes because extra support will be needed for next year's capital outlay expenditures, expen-ditures, which, because of the costs Park City's Only for the Whiskey Springs office building and restaurantprivate club. discussion on the theatres will be entertained. en-tertained. The proponents were requested to return to the June 27 meeting with masonry and graphics samples, as well as the material to be used for the canopies. HilbertErickson Dental Office Conditional use approval was requested at the discussion session for a dental office to be located in the Brent Hill Professional office building, north of the intersection of Highways U-224 and U-248. Park City Racquet Club Some commission members raised City Scho of building the new elementary school will be a whopping $2,480,463. According to Superintendent Dr. Richard Goodworth, few districts in the state will grant property owners the full four mill levy reduction but will instead use the reduction to offset off-set rising costs in other areas of the budget as Park City did. Though Park City cannot yet tax the district's new property acquired from the South Summit district, it does stand to receive the major portion por-tion of tax revenue collected from the transferred area for capital outlay, recreation and transportation. That revenue will be channeled to recreation and special transportation (transportation other than the regular bus routes between home and school) services for Park City students. Starting in the 1980 tax year Arts Council Receives $1,500 Matching Grant At a meeting of the Park City Arts Council held last Thursday, it was announced that a $1,500 matching grant has been awarded to the board which will be applied to the sponsorship sponsor-ship of a local poetry and printing workshop.

As presented, the sign would be made up of two stripes that would be painted across the front of the main building and down the side and across the fronts of two recently added ad-ded buildings.

Bids for the $1,370,000 in bonds sold for the new elementary school building were reviewed by the board. Kirchner, Moore and Company of Denver won the bid by offering a 5.6434 percent interest rate, the lowest offer among five bidders. Park City has received an A bond rating which explains in part the favorable interest rate offer.
