Editor: Congratulations and good wishes to Carolyn Bassett on her Canadian adventure with AFS. As an area representative for the program in California, I was disappointed to read that Park City was not hosting students this year. We spend a couple of weeks skiing in your area each year and I can't imagine a greater place to spend a year than in your beautiful mountains, and the living experience in Park City should be the greatest. Come on host families, where are you? Hosting a foreign exchange student for a year is an enriching experience never to be forgotten. Sincerely, Jo Collester (DaDjnHtnnnMedl ffiraDMn Annexation from 1 near the Highway 224 entrance to Park Meadows; and acreage administered by the Bureau of Land Management that the city hopes to acquire as park land. Although the final annexation document docu-ment will not be in place for many months, any properties considered for inclusion in the city must retroactively adhere to the stipulations of the policy. While the city will provide services, newly annexed land also has its share of community responsibility. Conditions Condi-tions for annexation will be worked out on a case by case basis, but the city may require the transfer of useable water rights or the payment of fees in lieu of water; dedication of streets and rights of ways; dedication of open space, park land or school land; employee housing, or other fees relating to the effects of development. Before the City Council would approve an annexation, public hearings hear-ings will be held. City Planner Bill Ligety said the consideration of annexation includes a number of factors: the economic feasibility of supplying city services to an area, the kind of development proposed, phasing of developments, environmental effects and aesthetics. Gage Davis Assoc. will continue working with the city to anticipate those factors. According to Ligety, the final document and map may show an area larger than the interim policy outlines. He noted that some city staffers have suggested the annexation declaration and map extend out to Interstate 80 and U.S. 40. "Annexation is not just a question of money," said Ligety, "it's also the environment and aesthetics. There are differing opinions about the area to be considered: Should we keep it at the visual limits of the city out to Quarry Mountain and Prospector Park and hold it there and do the best job we can within that area. Or go out further?" Before that question is answered and finalized in a document, there likely will be more public input sessions. At Country singer Tanya Tucker rode the Payday chair to the top of the Alpine Slide Tuesday to tape a number for her upcoming up-coming television special, "Mountain Magic." The special will feature guest stars Glen Campbell, Jim Stafford, La Costa Tucker, Arte Johnson and Leif Garrett. "In Concert" sessions also were taped Tuesday at Parkwest and the Cowboy Bar. Can't win 'em all Dear Editor: I would like to thank the umpires (especially Bob Reschke) who helped decide who won and lost the women's Softball games this season. We tried and sure had fun and a lot of laughs from Bob, though he never actually declared a win for us by sheer effort (the spirit was there) only the two forfeits we gained points on. Thanks, umps, for putting up with us and we'll see you next season. You can't win 'em all, Sabina and the Copperbottom Whopperbottoms that time, residents can ponder aloud whether the city should try to control and guide development as far out as it can, or let the county make the decisions. Development from 1 input. But he (Puffer) doesn't want it that way." Puffer said he fears Loble will "spoon feed" information to the council, so he wants them present during policy discussions. But Loble said the council already has indicated that they feel the city has no obligation to discuss anything further with the UPEA. At least Loble will be required to have further UPEA discussions, however, how-ever, since Valerga filed a motion for summary judgment in Third District Court Aug. 18. Valerga contends that Loble violated the Utah Right to Work law by criticizing the UPEA and attempting to discourage membership in the association. He also has asked the court to find that the City Council's ruling to overturn the decision of an appeals board to reinstate the workers was illegal. As retribution, Valerga has asked that the court enjoin the city from discouraging UPEA membership and in other ways violating the right to work law. In addition, he asked that the employees be paid back wages and benefits from July 22 to Sept. 13 plus attorneys fees. On Tuesday, Loble commented that she would like to'see specifically what I did to violate the law. If the court were to enjoin me not to do anything, it would be for things I didn't do, haven't done, and won't do in the future. "But the important issue will be to get a ruling from the court as to whether an appeals board can overrule the decision of the governing body," said Loble. City attorney Michael McCoy said he feels confident the court will find that the state statue as written is unconstitutional, and that the decision of the City Council will be found to be correct and legal. fir i.

Every Thursday, a Sailrider and instructor met the Rockport Bus for a morning of windsurfing free of charge for the Rockport Bus crew. Thanks to genuine community concern and involvement like this, we can hope to grow and improve our service for Park City. Thank you, Timberhaus Park City Rec. Dept. Valerga's motion will come before Third District Court Judge Bryant Croft at 10 a.m. on Sept. 21. UPEA from 1 The commission agreed to consider Harrington's request again at its next meeting. Similar questions were voiced about the adjacent Clissold property. And there was another concern: density. "I think we all figured it was too high," Chairman LaMar Pace told Richard Clissold. Pace suggested that a density of two to three units per acre would be more appropriate in that area. Clissold said after the meeting that he had no objection to reducing the density on the 450-acre parcel along Old Ranch Road, but felt that five units per acre was appropriate for a 30-acre parcel on the corner of U224 and Old Ranch Road. Access to both the Harrington parcel and the majority of the Clissold property would come via Old Ranch Road. However, commission members argued that improvements would have to be made to that road before the development of the area could proceed. pro-ceed. Commission members also recalled a letter from the Snyderville Basin Sewer District which spelled out the difficulty of running a sewer line to the Clissold and Harrington projects. According to the Snyderville letter, a line would have to be run underneath the freeway then run through an "environmentally sensitive area." It predicted "extreme difficulty" with the high water table in the area. Harrington and Clissold agreed to work with the county and the sewer district to answer some of the commission's concerns before the next meeting. Proponents of the Sage Run project were less fortunate. Citing poor access into the project and difficulty providing pro-viding sewage collection, the commission commis-sion turned down the developer's request for a change to the master plan. - In i TOTORA 5pa & hoi tab maintenance Service E Weekly Maintenance $40.00 per month Includes: First visit complete drainage filter and tub inspection and cleaning.
