At first, it looked as if the revision of Deer Valley's master plan would generate more heat than light. But last .Wednesday's Planning Commission meeting was finally able to move forward in its effort to gather information for' Deer Valley's Val-ley's "Second Amended Special Spe-cial Exception Permit." City planners have been meeting with Royal Street Land Company to decide what information is needed to revise the master plan. Such data, said planner Jennifer Harrington, would include changes in protective protec-tive covenants, parcel density, dens-ity, open space, and other modifications to the 1977 master plan. Ligety presented the commission com-mission Wednesday with a written plan for assembling Commission capsules Daystar approved The Planning Commission Wednesday approved the 24-unit Daystar Deer Valley development, with the recommendation that city staff re-review the location of a road running through it. Daystar is an uphill development de-velopment bounded by the Deer Valley north road and Solamere Drive. At an earlier meeting, commissioners expressed ex-pressed concern about the depth of cuts and fills in the steep slope. To answer that, developers moved a seven-unit seven-unit cul-de-sac further down the slope and also lowered the main Daystar road. The city staff recommended the lower road, saying it would reduce the cuts not only on Daystar, but on the neighboring neigh-boring parcel to the southwest, south-west, where the road would continue. But discussion revealed problems with the new road. Staffer Kevin Hooper said the lower road "squeezes" housing units against the Deer Valley north road. And Trees studied on Cache project The Cache project at Silver Lake received unanimous unani-mous approval from the commission. Kevin Hooper said the developers wanted to preserve as much existing vegetation as possible, and the approval from commissioners commis-sioners stipulated regular inspections would be carried out to see this philosophy is maintained. Hooper said that the 12-unit 12-unit condo development, located lo-cated on the east side of the Silver Lake area, has heavier vegetation on the north end than the south. The developers philosophy is to save as many of the existing conifers in the area as possible, and to move the trees that can't be saved. Road cuts that don't fit in with the planned road system sys-tem will be reseeded. City Council liason Helen HOW THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED... MOTIONS Approval of minutes from previous meeting.

That immediately brought an objection ob-jection from Calvin Cowher, Royal Street's vice president of real estate development. Cowher said he had only received the document that afternoon and had no chance to study it. He also said Royal Street was being asked for information informa-tion it had already supplied in past years to the city. "The new staffers aren't aware of what's already happened," he told The Newspaper. "I would suggest sug-gest they look through their files." Chairman Greg Lawson told Cowher that Ligety's plan was a reorganization of material discussed at a Monday meeting with Royal Street. "You've only seen it just Daystar engineer Bob Nevins said the higher road would give greater flexibility in planning to the neighboring neighbor-ing developer, Derrick Investment In-vestment Corporation. The approval motion submitted by Bill Mammen permitted the staff to reconsider the road. Hooper said the developer's aim is to keep the area in as natural a state as possible. The units are oriented toward to-ward a warm southern exposure, and are also near the Snow Park Day Center. Scrub oak will be planted around the units, he added, since they houses are a considerable distance away from the natural oak. Tha Daystar vote was unanimous among the four commissioners attending Dean Berrett, Bill Mammen, Walt Bishop and Burnis Watts. The development is 9.84 acres with 81 percent open space. Alvarez said aspen growth won't be hard to encourage. "They have a tendency to grow back in light, open areas," she said. Commissioner Bill Mammen Mam-men said he wasn't criticizing criticiz-ing the Cache project, but said there was a need to develop a standardized landscape land-scape agreement. "If this developer sells and our staff changes, we'd be back to wondering, 'What did we agree to?'" The 1.77-acre project has about 60 percent open space. It features a one-way loop starting at the Silver Lake east road. The buildings step up the slope and there is a maximum 4'6" retaining wall used on the project. The planning staff recommended recom-mended that native plant materials be used wherever possible. Alvarez Lewis yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes now,"' Cowher said. "How do you know that's what it is?" '"Cause the person who nut it together says that's what it is," said Lawson. After about 20 minutes of debate on the issue, the chairman asked Cowher if he wanted to have the subject tabled. "Let's get this settled," set-tled," said Lawson, visibly exasperated. "We all might as well take it home and read it." "Let's have the discussion," discus-sion," decided Cowher. The board conducted a quick review of the document, with Cowher indicating the areas that were questionable or new to him. The commission decided not to set a deadline for the collection and review of the data from Royal Street. They told the developers to feed information when it becomes available to the planning department, which would review it as part of an ongoing process. "If that proves to be an impossible task for you, you'll have to tell us," Commissioner Walt Bishop told the staff. Cowher suggested Royal Street could present its information in four weeks, and said the city could review it in one week. Much of the material is made up commonly accessbily soil and geology maps that have merely been enlarged by Royal Street, he said. "How much time can it take to review that?" Helen Alvarez said that such matters as parcel densities will take longer to study. Harrington agreed, "I doubt you can buy a map in a store that discusses vegetation vegeta-tion or view corridors," she THIS YEAR GET MORE PER GALLON This week's tour features some of Utah's oldest pioneer settlements, settle-ments, a spectacular spec-tacular view of the Great Salt Lake and a portion por-tion of the trail taken by the original Mormon Pioneers and the ill-fated Donner Party.

"I can't answer how long those topics will take, or how much back-and-forth discussion we'll need to have with the developer."

"There's no need to produce a bunch of fancy wallpaper-data wallpaper-data for data's sake." But Harrington said Deer Valley's history has not been well-defined. "We don't have clear documentation of how the parcels have changed," she said. "If we first see what the changes are, then we can see if those changes are appropriate or inappropriate." inappro-priate." The information required by the city planners includes: in-cludes: maps of buildable acreage for each parcel with an analysis of the parcel's density over time; a comparison compar-ison of past and present site restriction, covenants and conditions; maps of environmental environ-mental aspects and sites in need of preservation; and a master plan for open space, plus the percent of open area in Park City over time. Even when completed, updates are not very permanent per-manent said Cowher. "We did three updates in 1980," he said. "Our parcel densities are under review almost daily. An update is good until the next time I walk up the mountain and find a different differ-ent condition."
