Show Historic district panel studies ain Street sidewalk The Newspaper Thursday, August 27, 1981 Page A5 M The entire east sidewalk of Main Street must be renovated. The project must be accomplished in two months before the snow flies, and must be visually compatible with historic Main Street. This looks like a job for the Historic District Commission? That's right. The panel's first big chore is to give aesthetic advice on the sidewalk project. But during their last two meetings, they've also been busy electing elec-ting officers, setting guidelines, and judging sign applications. The new sidewalk will extend ex-tend from the intersection of Heber Avenue to Daly Avenue, where the Swede Alley Road intersects with Main. Phase I, the ease side, will be followed next year by work on the west side. City Manager Arlene Loble said a steering committee com-mittee last year had decided to lay down a new sidewalk in concrete strips, like a boardwalk. (A sample of the' style appears in front of Jody's). a request for bids was sent out and a contractor contrac-tor was picked, but snow prevented the work. The job is being re-bid, said Loble, to try out a format for-mat consisting of paved brick. At their last Monday conference, the historic commission decided to recommend a Moroccan brown style of brick for the project. They also rejected large mortar joints, and said the bricks should be packed tightly together, cemented with a thin epoxy mortar. The commission considered con-sidered making curbs and gutters out of sandstone, said member Suzette Ahrendt, but the building department depart-ment said the material wouldn't weather well. The panel's aesthetic suggestions will go to City Hall. Loble said she will make a recommendation help City Council decide between brick or concrete-strip concrete-strip format. "My general impression, is that the people I've talked to favor the brick," she said. Loble hopes to ask for bids on the Droject by next week,, and award the bid a week afterward. That is a tight schedule, she admitted, but with winter around the corner, cor-ner, "the project has to be done by at least late October." Oc-tober." Another reason, said a planning department source, is that federal grant funds are available for the work, but must be used by Sept. 30. Unfortunately, this also means the sidewalks will be torn up, for a few weeks, while Park Avenue is still under construction. Loble said any ideas from sidewalk contractors to reduce the inconvenience in-convenience will be considered con-sidered with their bids. The Historic District Commission considered other matters: Anthony Jay was unanimously elected chairperson chair-person at the Aug. 17 meeting, with Suzette Ahrendt also picked as vice-chairperson. vice-chairperson. It was decided the chairperson had the right to vote on all issues. Ted Nagata, a Salt Lake graphic designer, held two meetings with the panel to suggest criteria that should be used to approve signs for Main Street. He said any sign design should be judged for such things as margins, use of empty space, line spacing, material, good typography, color and general appropriateness. Commissioner Bill Mammen said the panel should assemble a list of graphic designers, approved by the city and familiar with district requirements. Sign applicants can seek aid from this list.' The commission asked that the sign application from The Village Idiot be returned. re-turned. The sign would be double-sided, 4' x 2'6", and constructed of sand-blasted pine. "I don't think the sign is that poorly designed," said Nagata. But the commission noted that information required by the city sign ordinance or-dinance was not provided in the application. The needed details included a rendering of dimensions, method of installation, in-stallation, material and the sign area related to .the building frontage. Tony Jay also said the sign could be constructed with more stable wood. The panel approved a legal notice, to be placed in newspapers next week, soliciting firms to submit historic design guidelines to the commission. Hospital renovation soon to begin The historic Miners Hospital won't have to go another winter without shelter from the storms. The Park City Council last week awarded the construction construc-tion bid for the renovation of the hospital to R.G. Iverson Construction of Salt Lake. Work is due to begin immediately im-mediately to enclose the building so that construction can continue on the inside throughout the winter. According Ac-cording to architect Wally Cooper, books may be on the shelves and borrowers walking through the door by next spring. Cooper said eight construction con-struction firms offered bids on the project, with prices ranging from $399,500 to $539,850. Cooper selected R.G. Iverson, the lowest bidder, bid-der, and the council approved ap-proved his recommendation. The architect said the nearly $400,000 will pay for the interior and exterior renovation and such things as shelves, map cases, decorative fixtures and paint. It will not include all of the necessary tables and chairs, carpeting, or books. Those items, plus landscaping, land-scaping, will be funded by the $750,000 bond passed by local voters last June. City Councilwoman Tina Lewis, who has been instrumental in-strumental in leading the campaign to revitalize the hosptial, enthusiastically voted to award the bid and get construction started. Mrs. Lewis said she currently is planning a ground-breaking ceremony to kick-off the construction project. The date of the ceremony? Why Miners Day, of course. Next week's issue of The Newspaper will detail the Sept. 7 festivities.
