If you've always said you'd buy City Council Revisions Added to New Land Code Alter months of healed debate, compromise, crilicism and more compromise, com-promise, the City Council last Friday night adopted revisions to the Land Management Code, bringing to a close an eight -month limitation on conditional use permits in the older sections of town. The purpose of revising the code was to eliminate the large number of conditional uses in the zones and to create more permitted uses so that property buyers could know from the outset exactly how their land could be developed. With more permitted uses, developers now can have their projects reviewed in the planning office, of-fice, rather than appearing before the Planning Commission. Com-mission. With the intense growth in Park City, the Planning Commission backlog in the past year has been maddening to developers, and frustrating to commissioners, who have spent countless hours debating projects using the subjective conditional usa criteria. According to city Planning Director Bill Ligety, the newly adopted code now provides a more efficient ef-ficient planning procedure, as well as allowing more equitable treatment of property. Only a handful of concerned con-cerned citizens turned out for last Friday night's special City Council meeting, a marked decrease in the numbers that appeared in the initial public hearings. Still in dispute was the Estate Zone, in which the Master Plan Update Committee Com-mittee proposed to eliminate section 1.9.4. That section allowed for land less than a 25 percent slope that is completely com-pletely surrounded with slopes of 25 percent or greater to be treated or zoned as Residential Development.

The Garff Motor Center St.-ih.M b(X) South SLC, Utah 84111 spoken opponent to the deletion of that section was Ed Sweeney, who complained com-plained that densities would be dramatically affected if the land could not be treated as RD. Councilman Bob Wells explained that the reason for deleting the section sec-tion was because the city currently does not have an ordinance to deal with such things as access, grades, and cuts and fills, and that a hillside ordinance hopefully will be developed and implemented im-plemented within the next 60 days that would address those concerns. Sweeney argued that once the land code was adopted, minus Section 1.9.4, that a hillside ordinance might not be developed as rapidly as anticipated, or worse, not at all. If the Estate zone stayed as was proposed, Sweeney complained, the 190 acres owned by his family and his clients would see a reduction in units from a possible 450 to 60. Gary Knudson also appeared ap-peared at the meeting, but his concerns related to the Recreation Commercial district. In that area, the city proposed a development credit system that Knudson felt should be altered to encourage en-courage higher density development. In addition, he said he felt the parking requirements for the zone were too stringent. Following the discussion, the City Council recessed to discuss the issues privately before making a decision. When they returned, they announced that they had modified their decision on the Estate Zone, but were standing firm on the RC district. In the Estate Zone, property qualifying under the slope criteria will be reviewed by the Planning Commission, who then will offer recommendations to the City Council. The council then will make the decision most intelligent car ever built. as to whether that property will receive a conditional use permit. On Monday, Ligety commented com-mented that the modification provided the city with an extra ex-tra checkpoint in the Estate zone until a hillside ordinance ordin-ance can be formulated. He noted that the planning office of-fice currently is researching such an ordinance, and said he hoped it would be ready for adoption within the next few months. Although the revised Land Management Code now is adopted, it will be some time before the Planning Commission Com-mission digs out from under the pile of awaiting projects. Ligety commented that developers presenting plans for review now would likely no! come before the commission com-mission until December. He does, however, expect to see a greater number of projects coming to his office that now qualify as permitted uses. And while the marathon public meetings are at an end for now, Ligety said the remaining areas of the city will be scrutinized for zone changes, and more input sessions will be forthcoming. In addition to zone revisions, Ligety said attention will be focused on developing both a hillside ordinance and an annexation policy. In general, Ligety said he was pleased with the revisions that were adopted, and said the final product was better than that originally proposed. He gave credit to the concerned citizens who came to the meetings and offered valuable input to the update committee.

Still unresolved is a dispute between Planning Commission Commis-sion Chairman Burnis Watts and Deer Valley developers Royal Street Land Company, over the definition of the word "unit." According to commission meeting minutes min-utes from 1977, a unit is described as either one two-bedroom apartment or two one-bedroom apartments. apart-ments. Watts argued that the minutes were incorrect, and that the definition would allow Deer Valley to construct con-struct twice the number of units as is allowed. Royal Street countered that the density would not increase, since most land buyers would not opt to construct all one-bedroom units, and that the number of people occupying oc-cupying one two-bedroom apartment would be the same number as those in two one-bedroom apartments. On Wednesday night, Planning Plan-ning Director Bill Ligety told the commission that the proposed site of the Red Maple was approved for 46 units, and that the Kingsrow developers were requesting 58 units. A Kingsrow representative repre-sentative commented that he Suspected Arsonists Bound Over for Trial Park City residents Allan Savage and Ann Clark will stand trial in district court in October on charges of aggravated ag-gravated arson in connection with a fire in Clark's Norfolk Avenue home May 19, 1979.

Watts argued that the definition still was ambiguous, ambi-guous, but Commissioner Bill Coleman countered that he felt the minutes clearly stated what was permissible. permis-sible. Instead of rehashing the dilemma, the commission commis-sion decided to review the project on its own merits before making a decision on the definition. The project would be located lo-cated on the north Deer Valley Road, and would consist of two rows of four-plexes with a total of 58 one and two-bedroom condominiums. con-dominiums. The project would be accessed by two roads; one between the rows of units, and the other wrapping behind the uphill row. Ligety commented that he was concerned that there would not be a fluid traffic flow from one road to the next, and complained that the upper road would necessitate neces-sitate a 50-foot cut into the mountainside. The proponents pro-ponents said the placement of the road was an effort to accommodate an adjoining property owner, whose eventual even-tual development would need to be accessed through Red held in circuit court August 13, at which time Judge Larry Keller determined their was probable cause to bind the case over to district court. The pair was arraigned ar-raigned August 18 before Third District Court Judge Open PARK CITY, UTAH 84060 Maple. After discussion of the environmental impacts, it was decided that the road should be shifted downhill, and that the neighboring developer would have to design a project that would utilize the access in its new placement. Another concern raised by Ligety was the possible conversion of loft areas in some of the units to an additional bedroom. Ligety and architect Dick Kohler agreed to work on a redesign that would make it difficult to build an additional bathroom bath-room near the loft, which would discourage the conversion con-version to a bedroom. The developers also said they would stipulate in restrictive covenants that loft conversion conver-sion would not be allowed. Kohler said the units will be an average of 1,700 square feet and will be "luxury" condominiums. Four floor plans were presented for the units, and each will have a one-car garage. The exterior of the buildings will be sided with redwood, with wood doors, windows, railings and shingles on the roof. As for the answer to the "unit" question, it was suggested that City Attorney Mike McCoy research the problem and offer his advice. David B. Dee, where they entered pleas of not guilty. Judge Dee has set the trial for October 27. The charge of aggravated arson carries a penalty of one to 15 years' imprisonment, imprison-ment, andor a $10,000 fine.
