Show Fund may send officials to Europe The Newspaper Thursday, February 5, 1981 Page 5 mmmmmmmm Mini iiimi mmmmmm " '"rr It's not easy being a city official. There are all those marathon meetings to attend, at-tend, late night phone calls to answer from disgruntled citizens, and major decisions to make that may have a lasting effect on the city. But there occasionally are pleasant benefits. One the City Council currently is researching is the possibility of sending some city officials to Europe. No, not on vacation. On official business. busi-ness. Park City resident Kather-ine Kather-ine Janka last week told the council that money may be available through the German Ger-man Marshall Fund to finance fi-nance a project to study how Europeans handle rapid growth and development in Five-man appeal board named Even though an ordinance establishing a Board of Appeals Ap-peals in Park City was passed last November, it wasn't until recently that enough applicants came forth to allow for appointments. At last Thursday's City Council meeting, a five-member five-member board finally was named. The Board of Appeals Ap-peals does not grant variances, varian-ces, but provides another interpretation in-terpretation of the building code other than what is provided by chief building inspector Ron Ivie. Ivie commented at the meeting that the Board of Appeals also offers interpretations of the housing code and the abatement of dangerous buildings code. In addition, the board also will review all proposed ordinances or-dinances and ordinance revisions relating to those codes. "This will be an important function as we begin to consider con-sider such items as sprinkler ordinance revisions, solar energy codes, snow load requirement for new construction, con-struction, etc.," said City Manager Arlene Loble. Appointed to the Board of Appeals were building contractor con-tractor John Price, heating contractor Greg Vinson, attorney at-torney Mike Eberlein, architect ar-chitect Stan Johnson, and attorney at-torney Ed Simmons. ski resort communities. Ms. Janka, who is a consultant to a number of local governments, govern-ments, said the funds are made available each year to facilitate an international exchange between the United Uni-ted States and the industrialized industrial-ized nations of Europe. Janka commented that observing a European city with similar growth patterns to Park City would provide valuable information about such things as transportation, transporta-tion, land use, and tourist influx. She noted, however, that when applying for the funds, a city must pinpoint a specific area of study. City Manager Arlene Loble commented com-mented that one of the important issues currently facing the city is the develop ment of a hillside ordinance. Janka commented that Park City's chances for receiving the funds might be increased if city officials from other municipalities could be encouraged to support and join the study project. She added that the inclusion of an interested citizen would emphasize community support, arid indicate in-dicate to those at the German Marshall Fund that the project would be valuable val-uable in helping to solve a real problem. (Ms. Janka did not seem to be ruling herself out as an interested citizen). Further research must be done to determine specific eligibility requirements. But should the city be awarded the money, the problem will be choosing who will go. A two-car accident turned into a five-car accident Jan. 29, causing a combined total of more than $12,000 in damages. Harvey Carlisle of Heber apparently was stopped in front of Mawhinney Motors on Park Avenue to turn right into the car dealership's driveway. But Jerry Mair of Heber, driving a 1977 Chevrolet pick-up, didn't see the turn signal, and plowed into the rear end of Carlisle's 1973 Chevrolet van, causing $300 in damages to his own car, and $900 to the van. The impact sent Carlisle's vehicle into three cars parked at Mawhinney's. A 1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass sustained $9,343 in damages. a Cutlass Supreme registered $600 in damages, and a 1981 Chevrolet pick-up needs repairs valued at $1,500. In other police action last week: Kit Somner reported the theft of a color television and a Jensen speaker Jan. 25 from Racquet Club condo No. 162. Somner was sleeping during the theft. Police say there was no signs of forced entry, and that it appeared a key had been used to unlock the door. Two electronic games were stolen from the Sweetwater Sweet-water game room Jan. 28, according to manager Robert Sheedy. No value was given for the Space Invader In-vader and Galaxy games. Seaton Prince of Park City was driving a 1978 Chevrolet Blazer Jan. 29, when it slid on Snow Summit Road and struck a rock pillar. Prince was unhurt, but the Blazer received $1,500 in damages. -An accident at 1002 Park Avenue Jan. 30 caused a total of $1,000 in damages to two vehicles. William Ross of Park City, driving a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlas, was struck on the left side by a 1981 Mercury Capri driven by Trace Joseph of Heber. According to the police report, Ross was making a left turn, but did not use his turn signal. Joseph apparently apparen-tly tried to stop, but slid on ice and struck the Oldsmobile.
