Planning Director Bill Ligety listed a number of questions which need to be resolved before he could make a recommendation. recommen-dation. He asked for details regarding road grades, recommendations from a traffic consultant, diagrams of cuts and fills, soils and hydrologic reports, detailed slope analysis, notification around the entire building, and believe they can overcome over-come the district's objections objec-tions by making certain architectural ar-chitectural changes instead. Although the height limitation in the district is 28 feet, the commission agreed to the addition of a cupola, not to be used for human occupancy, oc-cupancy, which would bring the total height of the building to 35 feet. Also approved at the Aug. 13 meeting was phase one of the Park City Village project. As spelled out to the district, but only n ail Uie units are used for low and middle income rental housing for a minimum of 15 years. Gaddis told the commission com-mission that the only way he could make the project pay for itself would be to sell some of the units, even if he is given government assistance. "Nobody in his right mind would consider building rental unit in Park City," he said. "With the cost of land and the interest rates, it just doesn't work." Commission member Roy Reynolds pointed out that Gaddis would have no con of adjacent property owners and a plan showing the surrounding properties. "I don't think anyone is ready to give you approval of the zone up there without knowing what's up there," Commission Chairman Bur-nis Bur-nis Watts told Neilson. "Just put together a presentation where we'll see the whole issue and we'll discuss it." added commission com-mission member Roy Reynolds. Planning Commission last month, phase one would include in-clude the expansion of the present ticket office at the Park City Resort plaza, the construction of a permanent Kinderhaus to replace the trailer now in use, and the addition of condominium units and commercial space. The approval was made contingent upon compliance with recommendations from the city engineer regarding storm drainage, water, and fire protection. trol over the price of the condominium units after the first sale. "It's not going to provide low-income purchase pur-chase housing," he said. Gaddis agreed. "It's a fact of life that somebody will receive a windfall profit," he said. Reynolds said he would like to see, on paper, an economic justification for building the condominiums. "I think we've got to look at it as capitalization for low-income low-income housing," he said. As proposed by Gaddis, the rental units would consist con-sist of two or three bedroom -and cover an area from 880 to 1,000 square feet. Now it's up to the City Council. The Planning Commission Aug. 13 recommended that the council approve the latest edition of the revised Land Management Code, which has been the subject of scrutiny and debate lot-several lot-several months. By a unanimous vote, the commission recommended approval of the revisions with the following directives: direc-tives: That, in the Estate Zone, there exists concern regarding regar-ding . . . the pending hillside ordinance, and that further liberalization of the zone may become necessary by its adoption. That the Recreation Commercial (RC) zone on the east side of Empire may warrant a density increase, either by means of establishing a new zone or by applying a different multiplier to the development develop-ment credits. The first directive, as spelled out by the Planning Commission member Bill Coleman, was designed to appease those individuals who are opposed to the deletion of Section 1.9.4 from the present code. This section sec-tion says that certain areas within the Estate District, where the slope is less than 25 percent, can be zoned or treated RD (Recreation Development). Opponents to the deletion of Section 1.9.4 include certain cer-tain owners of property in the Estate District who could develop portions of their land if it were zoned or treated RD Pninmissinn Course Changes, Parking, Focus of Hotel Presentation Providing sufficient parking for both hotel guests and golf course patrons was the focus of discussions on the so-called Golf Course Hotel at the Aug. 13 meeting of the Planning Commission. Architect Stan Johnson presented a revised parking plan calling for 136 surface and 310 underground spaces. He noted that the 446 total spaces was close to the figure recommended by the commission. Commission member Bill Coleman wondered how an overflow from the golf course cour-se parking lot could be accommodated ac-commodated by the hotel lot. Johnson said he was working on a plan to connect the two underground lots. "This I can accomplish," he said. "I just didn't get it finished today." The architect also gave a brief sketch of the changes to be made to the course itself in the neighborhood of the proposed hotel. He said that e. Adoption of Mill Levy f.

CITY ATTORNEY REPORT Chairman Burnis Watts said he had received letters from the United Park City Mine Company and from Ed Sweeney asking that the section sec-tion belelt in the code. Watts noted that the city is planning to adopt an ordinance or-dinance covering hillside development, and suggested that the commission vote to accept the code revisions, including the deletion of Section Sec-tion 1.9.4. pending the adoption adop-tion of the hillside ordinance. "I see no reason why we can't come back to the Estate Zone or any other zone and modify it ( at a later date)," he said. Commission member Roy Reynolds agreed. "It seems like one approach would be to recommend adoption as a whole body, with the proviso that we wish to review and readopt an Estate section that will be in concert will, our revised hillside ordinance." ordin-ance." , Would-be developers Ed Sweeney and Ed Beaulieu. along with a representative represen-tative of the mining company, com-pany, urged the commission not to change the present code, as it refers to the Estate District, pending the adoption of the hillside ordinance. or-dinance. Beaulieu said that, once restrictions .were imposed im-posed in the Estate District, they would be hard to rescind "We're afraid that, once you put the proposed amendment amend-ment in, the door's closed," he said. Commission member Bill Coleman expressed sympathy sym-pathy for that point of view. alterations will be made to the first tee. the second green, the third tee and the ninth tee. He said the changes should be made with a minimum of interference inter-ference to golfers during the season. Commission Chairman Burnis wondered who would be doing the work. "That's in the process of being worked out." Johnson said. "Rick Prince (one of the hotel developers ) and the Greater Park City Company are negotiating that at the present time." Watts said he would feel more comfortable that the job was being done properly if it was tied in with the rest of the project. Johnson assured the commission that the changes would not make the course any less challenging. "So you're going to try to maintain the rating?" commission com-mission member Roy Reynolds asked. "Oh yes." Johnson said. permit on panels in Deer He proposed that the pieseiil Estate District guidelines be let I unchanged, and that a six-month moratorium on building in that district be imposed pending the adoption adop-tion of a hillside ordinance.
