Vote Tina. PARK CITY MUST WORK TOGETHER TINA LEWIS E A Sweetwater representativ e displays plans for Phase VI of the Lift Lodge resort obviously isn't going to keep the grass plowed there for fire trucks.' Thaller responded, "We know there is a problem, and we're saying so. We just want the chance to look at the situation more and come back here with concrete ideas for working with it." Reynolds remarked, "We haven't even seen the impact of other Sweetwater phases or other Empire Avenue projects yet. I'm frightened. Five hundred units have already been approved and now you're adding another 95. 1 prefer to do what we. said to you last fall when you showed us the master plan for this project, and that is, let's see the development of other phases before we approve Phase VI. I hate to give approval for a project a year in advance. I hate to see us make a decision that affects,, (peopjejj months down the roait .Before iiwei approve this, I think we should see the impacts of Phases III and IV in the spring. If you just want input from us about the general plans, fine. But I don't want to approve it yet." The Sweetwater proponents told the commission they would agree to that plan, but noted other projects in the area that come before the commission after them should not be approved ahead of theirs. The commission agreed that no other projects of that magnitude would receive approval first, but that a four-plex would not be required to wait while Sweetwater constructed Phases III through V. The commission asked the proponents to return with specific plans for dealing with the fire protection problem, as well as plans for the parking and access to the resort's first aid clinic, and the proximity of units to the gondola line. Soap Opera Plans for a laundromat and dry cleaning pick-up service were presented for the Holiday Village complex by Bill Traeger. Included in the Soap Opera project will be 30 washing machines, 15 dryers, five 25 lb. capacity washers, folding counters, and a one-day dry cleaning drop-off service. Traeger said the interior of the building would be wallpapered and painted, with a seating area with. French-type park benches, indoor- outdoor carpeting and a television. The exterior is planned to be of a chalet design with a peaked, shingled roof. , Park City Reservations A conditional use application for a professional office for Park City Reservations, to be located in a train car at the Park City Depot, was considered at the Wednesday night meeting. Commissioner Roy Reynolds noted a train car would make a fine office, but was concerned about what and how much was going to be incorporated into the Depot project. "This has developed in a fragmented way from the very beginning," Reynolds' said of the whole project. "I have no problems with the train car per se. But I want to know how it fits into the big picture, ftiNWbece'the permanent accesses will be' iB-j)loctfted,Jand tioiit '-'ffts wif fr Ufre J proposed highway. There 'are 'too many pieces being planned separately for the whole area, and I'd like to see how they all tie in together before I approve anything more." IWcCloud Creek A 205-unit planned unit development also was presented. Van Martin, a planner with J.J. Johnson Assoc., told the commission the project is planned for the intersection of Highway 224 and Holiday Ranch Road, adjacent to Park Meadows. The project is planned with a variety of units, including 47 single family homes, 50 townhouses, and 108 units in nine 12-plexes. The planner noted the concentration of buildings was high to preseve open space. The project will be built on 45 acres of property, leaving 75 percent open space, Martin said. He noted the single family homes will be east of the project, providing a buffer from Park Meadows I and II, and the closest building to the highway would be a recreation facility planned 75 feet back from the road. "Some areas will be 400 feet back from the highway," Martin said. "The idea is to have a nice buffer area and a nice entrance to Park City. Some may say the density is high, but in a planned unit development, we would be allowed 225 units, and we're only asking for 205." Marting also revealed that the plans include a bike path along the existing creek that flows through the project He said proponents hud been in; contact with wildlife specialists, and would work to preserve the natural habitat. "We have been in touch with the-regional the-regional wildlife representative, and after he saw our plans, he said it would be an improvement over the existing situation." Martin said. "He said more landscaping would be beneficial for the fish and wildlife, around the stream." Martin said the bike path would be intended to connect with the bike path' currently proposed to meander throughout the city. Commission chairman Burnis Watts raised a concern over busing school children. Martin had commented that the., school district would not pick up, or .!;-would UselidlittA Ranch.Road. wkft. V asked if theike path.jfmild be ih'pt clear of snow in the, winter to assure the children could get to the buses. Martin replied the proponents are cross-country skiing advocates, and had intended not to plow the paths in winter so it could be used as a skiing track. Watts suggested sidewalks be incorporated into the plans as an alternative. ' Commissioner Reynolds remarked, "A lot of people have expressed a desire to incorporate areas for younger people in. developments. 1 think we should start seeing sophisticated playground areas in these kinds of plans. And what does everyone think about what was in The Newspaper last week about incorporating trees in the planning approval process? We should start doing something -like planting 100-foot 100-foot elms! Maybe we could put a time limit on it so that it would be reasonable to plant trees when they could be properly maintained and there was water in the project.'' The commission asked that the McCloud Creek proponents return with more detailed plans for the 12-plexes, 12-plexes, a point of concern among all of them. Martin offered to give addresses for 12-plexes already constructed in Salt Lake City. In addition, the developers were asked to provide more information on the bike path andor sidewalks and the stream and wildlife protection. OPENING FOR THE WINTER SEASON J I wis . Mil.
