Nolan Rosall, a design consultant for the project, summarized the changes at last Wednesday's meeting of the Planning Commission. Rosall made' his presentation presenta-tion to the board using "before" and "after" sketches of the Village, resting at the base of the Park City Resort. Formerly, said Rosall, the Village was lined up on the west side of Lowell Avenue in a series of close, massive cookie-cutter facades, and there was little setback space. In the new plan, (see illustration), the building shapes have' been' broken up, more setback space provided, and visual corridors through the Village allow a view of the mountains. City planners give O.K. to historic district board The Planning Commission last week approved an ordinance or-dinance creating an Historic District Commission to review alterations and new construction in the city. The ordinance was passed with a lone dissenting vote cast by Commissioner Bill Mammen. Mam-men. Mammen said he cast his "nay" vote because he felt the Historic District Commission Com-mission was an unnecessary parallel to the Planning Commission. "They (the new board) should draw up ' guidelines for the Historic District and then be dispersed," disper-sed," he suggested. During the discussion, Mammen also contended that the Historic Commission, if approved, ap-proved, should not take effect ef-fect until it is tully staffed and its policies clearly defitien.

"Now they are very specific villages." Village 1, at the southern tip of the project, is commercial space with residential resi-dential units on the second floor. One important change, Rosall pointed out, is that many shops in the Village are now facing south toward a neighboring commercial plaza. "The project is not turning its back on that shopping area anymore," he said. The Village also features an ice rink, but it has been reduced from its original size to allow more pedestrian traffic and areas for sidewalk side-walk cafes. Village 2, to the north, has its own residential plaza and swimming pool. Village 3 ties in with the Three Kings chairlift lift area. "It becomes be-comes an activity center in itself," said Rosall. "It could use an additional lift." And Village 4 is an island on the east side of Lowell Avenue. Coleman also wondered if the new commission would be "another layer of bureaucracy." But Coleman told The Newspaper he was satisfied with the commission com-mission in its final form. "It is an advisory board, part of the staff review," he said. "It's not an appellate board." Technically, the ordinance charges the new commission with reviewing all applications ap-plications for building modifications or new construction con-struction within the Historic District. But City Planner Bill Ligety said for all practical prac-tical purposes, the review process will be streamlined in two ways: 1) An application for a permitted use will be reviewed first by city staff, and if the staff approves, the application need go no fur Thursday, February Executive Session, Personnel Matter Presentation on Marsac School Feasibility Study by Kiehard Thong Discussion on Historic District Plan Boundary Revision and Consideration of Priorities for Redevelopment and Agency Financing Discussion on Sprinkler Ordinance Information and Effect on Fire Insurance Hating Public Comment Presentation by-new by-new Middle School Architect Keith Stephen on Field House Concept Regular Council Meeting AGENDA V 1 J1 '. Mm The number of units in the entire Village is about 750, reduced from a figure of 903. (The original request, said City Planner Bill Ligety, was close to one thousand.) The rooflines of the Village are less massive than before, said Rosall. But the new design bothered Commissioner' Bill Mammen. Mammen said the roofs now form a number of small valleys in the middle with no drainage areas where snow could pile up during the winter. "A regular winter would fill them up to the peak of the roof," he said. Mammen also said no real thought had been given to providing access for walk-in traffic to the Village. He said he had basic reservations about the Village Vill-age concept. "I think the commission is leaving the impression that basically, the Park City Village is what we want to see," he remarked. remark-ed. "But I'm not entirely comfortable with it." Mammen Mam-men said he would like to see ther than uidl. However, il there are any questions or objections, it will be reviewed by the Historic District Commission. And if that commission denies the application, the developer can take his case to City Council. 2) If the application is for a conditional use permit or a subdivision zone change, it will be given a staff review plus Planning Commission consideration. If the application fails to secure approval, the new commission will review it. And again, the application can be appealed to City Council if the Historic District board turns thumbs-down. thumbs-down.

Commissioner Greg Law-son Law-son was another board member who seemed concerned con-cerned about the Village's size. "We already have Shadow Ridge, which is twice the size it should be," he said. Lawson also wondered wonder-ed if the Village would draw business away from Main Street. "There's 20,000 feet of commercial space," said Rosall. "It's minimal in terms of impact." Traffic Engineer Wayne Van Wagoner said studies showed show-ed that all the skiers going to the Resort also visited Main Street at one time or , another. ' ' Van Wagoner outlined a traffic plan for the Resort and the Village which involves in-volves channeling motorists into a one-way loop. Under architect with historic-preservation historic-preservation experience, and two Parkites with a clear interest in the field. (One has to live in the Historic District.) The group will convene as often as it is necessary. The commission's stated purposes are to safeguard city landmarks and diverse historic appearance, to enhance the city's appeal for tourists, and to solve conflicts con-flicts between cultural resources re-sources and other kinds of land use. The panel also is obligated to advise the city on ways to preserve the local heritage through construction permit standards, property purchases, pur-chases, outside funding, etc. And they also should be prepared to give advice to private property owners on the preservation or maintenance main-tenance of historic areas. LEVEL the proposed plan, a visitor would turn west off U-224 onto Empire Avenue ex-1 panded to three lanes going toward the Resort, with two lanes coming out. The five-lanes five-lanes would extend up to Silver King Drive (running both ways), where the driver would turn west toward the Resort. From Silver King Drive, the driver would turn ono Lowell Avenue, which would be three lanes going south one-way. From Lowell, one can turn down to Empire using Manor Road (one-way east) or Millside Road (oneway (one-way east, except for buses going west). The driver has arrived back at Empire, and at that point it is a two-lane road going north one-way until it arrives again at the intersection' with Silver King. sf f. W ". Van Wagoner said the traffic plan would bring better auto circulation, would save time, and reduce hazards.

But Van Wagoner suggested this would be easier than driving Empire straight through which would lead to a constant battle with other motorists coming down from the Resort. Re-sort. The Park City Village also will boast a transit center to handle bus traffic, and the planning board discussed how to reduce the pollution from buses which must often be kept idling all day to stay warm in the winter. "There were a couple of buses idling by the mortuary some time back," complained Bill Mammen, "and you could smell them as far away as Prospector." Van Wagoner made a strong recommendation that the buses be stored off site from the village. Resident Monty Gibson noted that in Vail, Colorado, buses are not a'llowed to idle. They are stored, he said, in garages with a large number of electrical outlets, where heaters are used to keep the buses warm.
