It seems as though i property owners feel it's the respon-sibility respon-sibility of the city, while the city seems ' to feel it's the problem of the owner. Marianne Cone, P.C. As the snow melts, it has been revealing bigger and uglier piles of garbage all over town, and particularly around dumpsters. While many people feel the garbage collectors do a less than neat job, part of the problem lies with the trash thrower, and the property owner who leases the dumpster. City Manager Wayne Matthews said he has notified Public Works Supervisor Leon Uriarte of the problem, who in turn has passed on a reminder remin-der to city crews collecting the garbage. "If the trash does fall from the dumpster when it's being collected, we've asked that the crews pick it up," Matthews said. "But the garbage around the dumpsters hasn't always fallen out of them, it just never has gotten in there. I would think owners would take a little pride and help clean it up." That sentiment was echoed by Uriarte, who said it is the responsibility of the merchants renting rent-ing the dumpsters to keep the garbage inside the containers and off the streets. "As a rule, little of the trash falls out when it's being dumped," Uriarte said, then added with a poetic flair, "It's the way people throw, and when the snow goes, it starts to show." Matthews remarked that the city-wide cleanup clean-up week is scheduled for May 19 through the 23rd. But why wait for the middle of May? Pitch in now and help Park City clean up its eyesores. Why is there a stop sign on Monitor Drive at the intersection with Lucky John Drive, when Monitor is the access street to the Park Meadows area and Lucky John is just a cross street? Kathy Kahn, P.C. Police Chief Mike Crowley said he's been wondering won-dering the same thing himself, but suggested Wayne Matthews might shed more light on the subject. And Wayne did. He said when the stop sign originally was placed in that area, it was used to halt traffic entering Monitor from Lucky John. But the homeowners in the area asked that the sign be moved to Monitor to slow down the increasing traffic because of the number of children playing there. So while the stop sign may seem a nusiance to the driver on Monitor, it may prove a blessing in disguise if a ball rolling into the street suddenly. isiolJowed , by ,a running With the snow melting, the streets now are filled with dirt and debris. Why isn't the city using the street cleaner? Brad Olch, P.C. At 6:00 Tuesday morning, the water truck was washing down Main Street, and hours later the city crew was out hand shoveling the muck from the gutters to be hauled away. Public Works Supervisor Leon Uriarte estimated Park City streets to be littered with upwards of 4,000 tons of sand and salt used during the winter on slick blacktop. Clearing the mess away will take some time. Uriarte commented, "If we can get the Main Street merchants to clean off their sidewalks, we'll take care of the street with the water truck." Uriarte said the water truck has been most useful in the past, especially to keep down the dust. The city does have a street cleaning machine, but Uriarte said it is slow and cumbersome cumber-some and subject to frequent breakdowns. He assured, however, that the cleaning and watering machines will be on active duty from here until the snowfall to try and keep the streets clean. Welcome to Park City '4 " I . . ' - . - V:..:. Coalville Care Costs Lower Than Most Responding to recent criticisms of hospital care costs, Coalville hospital director Bob Schapper presented to the Summit County Commission, April 8, price figures showing the local medical facility offers lower rates than other area hospitals for comparable service. According to Schapper. an Intensive Care Unit i ICU i at the Coalville hospital costs an average $215 per day. The cheaper ICU rates found at hospitals servicing the Wasatch Front, says Schapper, Schap-per, is at Valley West Hospital which charges $22(i per day, and the most expensive expen-sive rates are at the LIXS Hospital in Salt Lake City, which charges $486 per day for the same service. The Coalville Hospital once was operated by the county, coun-ty, but a private firm. Advanced Ad-vanced Health Systems, recently has assumed operation of the medical facility. . ... . ; . The; commissioner also met with representatives of the Utah Department of Transportation, which wants to establish a study group U) work with the county in drawing up a master plan to improve sections of Hwy. 40 between 1-80 and the Park City turn-off. UDOT especially wants to upgrade the interchanges to handle the expected increase in traffic flow that will accompany accom-pany development of an in dustrial zone along the highway section. Actual road changes, said the UDOT representatives, are probably five or more years away. Lyle Thatcher, of Kamas, awarded by the commission a contract to re-roof the old county courthouse in Coalville. The commissioner also awarded a contract to Clegg Construction, of Orem, to rebuild the county's coun-ty's bridge that spans Silver Creek on the roadway between be-tween Wanship and Kamas. The bridge is in disrepair from , winter tune deterioration of cement sup ports. Planning Department Gets Right Hand Man City Planning Director Bill Ligety may finally be able to sigh in relief, thanks to a planning assistant that began work in the Memorial Building office Wednesday. New to the planning department depart-ment team is Kevin Hooper, who most recently was working for the Salt Lake City planning office. Since starting with the city in November, Ligety has been inundated with projects to be reviewed, traffic studies, master plan update meetings, City Council and Planning Commission meetings and a host of other projects that have left him with little time to breathe. Hooper's function will be to serve as Ligety's right hand man. helping to prepare and research projects before they go to the , Planning Commission and reviewing current zoning issues. That will give Ligety more time to look at future issues and to spend more time on new development projects. "It will be better for the Planning Commission, so they don't have to spend time on the details that now can be taken care of at the planning office before they come up for consideration. Ligety said. 'Deer Valley 274' Becomes 'Solamere' A revised proposal for the development of the subdivision sub-division known as "Deer Valley 274" was presented to the Planning Commission April 9. Now code-named Solamere, which means "sea of sun" in ancient Greek, the subdivision was proposed in a different form about a year ago. Planner Van Martin of the Park City engineering firm of J.J. Johnson and Associates described the proposal to the commission. It calls for 274 single-family homes on a 238-acre site. The subdivision would include about 74 acres of open space, contaiping an equestrian area, an arboretum, a picnic facility, a combination bike path and jogging trail, and other amenities. "To the best of my knowledge it's unique in that it provides more recreational activities than any other project in the State of Utah," Martin said. The bikejogging path will not be restricted to residents of the subdivision. "The intent in-tent is to let the public use it as long as they don't abuse it," Martin told the commission. com-mission. He said roads throughout the project also would contain a specially-designated specially-designated bicycle lane. Commission member Rusty Davidson wondered how much the developers would have to cut and fill to build the roads. "I would like to have a pretty good idea of where each road is," he said. Martin replied there would be no drastic changes to the terrain. The roads in Solamere will be 30 feet wide: two 12-foot vehicle lanes and a six-foot bike lane. Martin said the road width at the entrance to the subdivision was doubled to win Fire District approval. ap-proval. Another member of the commission wondered whether there would be any drainage problems. Martin said the plans had been submitted to the Salt Lake City engineering firm of Bush and Gudgell. which represents the city, and that he had been assured verbally ver-bally that the drainage was adequate. A The original Deer Valley master plan, which called for 1,800 residential units and a golf course, was proved in Aueust of 1!)77 revised master plan was ap proved in May of 1979. At the request of the city, provisions for 200 low income housing units were included, bringing the total density to 2.000 units. However, plans for the golf course were dropped at the same time. Martin said Solamere was given Fire District approval on Feb. 20, 1980. and Sewer District approval for the first 60 units on March 26. The subdivision is being developed by the Banberry Development Corporation.
