Show Washington School Plan Given Final Approval The Newspaper Thursday, July 3, 1980 Page 5 f "I wish I could treat you all to beers someplace! " That was architect Wally Cooper's reaction to the Planning Commission's approval ap-proval last Wednesday night of the historic Washington School project on Park Avenue. After months of discussion and redesign of the project to accommodate height restrictions and parking requirements, Cooper finally hit on an acceptable ac-ceptable plan, although he still had some reservations. The commission had given Cooper the go-ahead in May, provided he could convince the Board of Adjustments that his project was acceptable accep-table with one less than the required number of parking spaces. The board did not approve that request, and it was up to Cooper to modifv the plans to conform to the city's requirements. The project consists of a five-unit complex to be constructed con-structed behind the school, fronting Woodside Avenue, with the Washington School to be converted into six condominium con-dominium units. To accommodate accom-modate the parking problem, Cooper combined three efficiency units in the school into two units. "That reduces our possibilities in renting units," Cooper told the commission. "But if there's no other way to get the project through, we'll give. The Board of Adjustments had to vote the way they did, they think, but I don't, when you consider the steep slope of the site." Of the 16 underground parking space planned, one is located parallel to the driveway, creating a vision safety problem. Cooper told the commission that traffic engineer Wayne Van-Wagoner Van-Wagoner suggested putting a curb across the space, rendering ren-dering it useless. Cooper commented that a convex mirror was to be situated at the base of the driveway to relieve the vision problem, but VanWagoner apparently still advised the use of the curb. Commissioner Bill Coleman commented Wednesday Wed-nesday that the suggestion was "absurd," if the mirror was installed. City Planning Director Bill Ligety recommended that the Washington School project be approved, provided an escrow be established for the installation in-stallation of curb and gutter on Woodside and Park Avenues, that the drainage meet the specifications of the city engineer, that the Board of Adjustments' ruling be complied with, and that the suggestions of the city engineer, fire department depart-ment and sewer district be adhered to. The commission accepted the recommendations, recommen-dations, and unanimously approved the project. Cooper's offer to spring for . beers also was unanimously approved. Commission OK's Solamere With Temporary Access FAMILY FUN 20 Minutes from Park City Steak Rides July 16, 17 Pack Trips Trail Rides by reservation In The Wuttch Nttiotul Forttt Police Report An air compressor valued at $385 was reported stolen from the back of a pickup truck parked at 835 Wood-side Wood-side between 10:30 p.m. Friday and 2 a.m. Saturday. The theft was reported to Park City police by Rick Thomas Cannard, the owner of the compressor. A purse belonging to Kim D. Anderson of Park City was reported stolen from a car in the Alpha Beta parking lot about 3 p.m. Saturday. Ms. Anderson told police she left her purse on the seat of the car while she returned a shopping cart to the store. The purse contained con-tained credit cards and about $480 in cash. It was found later on Pacific Avenue, without the contents. con-tents. A small amount of change and personal items belonging to teachers at the Marsac Elementary School were stolen when burglars entered the school late .June .24 or early June 25. ..The change was taken from vending vend-ing machines at the school According to Park City police, keys to the rooms were taken from the prin cipal's office. A parking brake was not enough to hold a 1976 Chevrolet pickup flatbed parked on Empire Avenue June 25. According to the police report, driver Dave Parrish of Centerville said he left the truck in neutral, but with the brake on, about 1:25 p.m. The truck rolled across the intersection and slammed into a tree, causing about $800 damage. It is owned by the Hogan and Tragey Construction Company, also of Centerville. Center-ville. A collision between a 1973 Chevrolet Vega and a 1979 White Frieghtliner loaded with 77,000 pounds of powdered milk caused about $400 to each vehicle late Friday. Police said that the truck was starting to turn left off Utah Highway 248 into in-to the high school bus terminal ter-minal area when the driver of the Vega started to pass, clipping the left front fender of the, cab. The driver of the truck was identified as Donald Eugene Nelson of Minnesota. The driver of the Vega was Morna Lynn Bowman of Park City. Still in contention after several discussions before the Planning Commission was an access road in the Solamere project in the north end of Deer Valley. At the last commission session in May, it was recommended that lots one through 11 in the 274-lot subdivision sub-division not be sold for one year after approval until an access road problem was resolved. The road would have to be given a right-of-way clearance by a neighboring neigh-boring property owner, but it was revealed last Wednesday Wed-nesday night that the negotiations may take some time. Van Martin of J.J. Johnson Associates told the commissioners com-missioners that the property owner, Gordon Stott, is "asking two to three times what that property is worth." Martin further stated that Stott to date has no plans to develop land adjacent ad-jacent to Solamere, and the access road would serve no useful purpose at this time. He said he wanted to accommodate ac-commodate the city's request for an additional access ac-cess road into the area, as well as design a road that would benefit both Solamere and Stott, but he was concerned con-cerned about not being able to sell the first 11 lots until the problem was resolved. The commissioners previously said they objected object-ed to selling those lots before the design of the access ac-cess road was determined, since it would lock them into a road configuration they may not later approve. As a solution to the problem, the commission, agreed to allow the Solamere developers, Banberry Corporation, to construct a temporary access ac-cess through the project until un-til a permanent road could be negotiated. City Planning Director Bill Ligety also offered a list of recommendations before final approval of the first phase of the five-phase project was given. They included in-cluded compliance with suggestions by the city engineer, sewer district and fire district; that a 66-foot collector street be constructed construct-ed into the project; and that an escrow be established to insure the installation of improvements, im-provements, including a recreation center and open space. The commission unanimously approved Phase lof Solamere. Holiday Village Mall Signs Finally Pass Commission John Anderson Campaign Underway in Summit County The campaign for John Anderson is officially underway un-derway in Summit County. "Our purpose," said Randy Rogers, campaign coordinator coor-dinator for the county, "is to make people aware that there is a viable and sane alternative to Reagan and Carter." Anderson is running for m- the presidency as an dependent, and as sucn will need dedicated and enthusiastic en-thusiastic supporters to make his election a reality. Anyone interested in helping with John Anderson's campaign, cam-paign, or anyone desiring further information on his positions should contact Randy or Kristen Rogers at 649-6648. "Let's table this," Planning Plan-ning Commissioner Mike Vance said jokingly, as Stan Johnson appeared to hear the verdict on his design of the Holiday Village signs. Johnson previously had been before the commission three times with plans for two signs touting the Holiday Village Cinemas, Alpha Beta, Wolfes and 16 shops in the Holiday Village shopping center. The first time, Johnson John-son was sent packing because the signs were nearly double the allowed footage. The second time they were 30 percent oversized. over-sized. At the third discussion session, the commission gave Johnson the thumbs up, and last Wednesday night, he received final approval. "What did you come up With this ' time," Commissioner Com-missioner Greg Lawson asked, grinning. Although Lawson approved of the design and size of the signs-which signs-which will be 64 square feet on each facade, standing on metal uprights above a stone base but objected to the color, which is gold-painted wood. Lawson argued that the city sign ordinance specifies colors should be natural earth tones, and he didn't feel gold fit that definition. Johnson began to debate the color issue, then brushed it aside, commenting comment-ing "I'll do anything you want." After the laughter subsided, the other commissioners com-missioners agreed the color was acceptable as presented. present-ed. The signs will be placed on Highways 224 and 248 near the entrances of the shopping shop-ping center, and in addition to advertising Alpha Beta, Wolfe's and shops, will carry a marquee for the Holiday Village Cinemas. Commissioner Com-missioner Roy Reynolds debated the necessity of advertising ad-vertising anything but the movies playing at the theatres, but his thoughts w-nt unsupported. The commission. then unanimously approved the signs, much to the visible relief of Johnson. Other Commission Action At the June 25th session, the commissioners unanimously unani-mously agreed to table decisions on the Depot Project, the Dan W. Clark condominiums, and the James Carr Main Street commercial and residential building, pending the receipt of additional information. HOW THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED...
