June Shuput, Agent 277-5640 Owner 649-8375 Lawsuit opponents ponder strategy MEMO: SEPTEMBER. jijnnsyirf. m'ZZ The storm between Park City and developer Monty Gibson, who has filed two law suits against the city government, has settled into an uneasy calm with both sides considering options, holding hushed consultations, consul-tations, and adopting a wait-and-see attitude. Gibson has filed lawsuits contending that his Cornice project, at the southwest end of the Park City Resort, has been the victim of arbitrary and discriminatory city requirements, especially when compared to the treatment treat-ment given the adjacent Park City Village project. One suit alleges a pattern of illegal and or gratuitous rulings by city authorities. The other challenges a Board of Adjustment ruling which refused to cut back the required number of parking spaces for Gibson's project. The developer claims such action is unjust, since the same cutback was given to Park City Village. The city's attorney, Craig Anderson, is formulating a response to the lawsuits, and in the interim city employees ire not talking for pub lication about the conflict. Anderson has said the city's response to the Board of Adjustments appeal will be ready sometime next week. The history of the Cornice has been long and complicated, com-plicated, but the most recent clash was over a stop-work order the city leveled against the Cornice on Aug. 20. Gibson said that only two days before he had received permission from the building department to precede with the project. City Manager Arlene Loble told The Newspaper the stop-work order was given because the number of parking spaces he planned to build, 44, was not the same as recorded on his original building permit, granted several months ago. The city has said Gibson's permit was for 62 spaces. Gibson's attorney, Jim Gilson, said the "62" number was entered into the permit by error. "All the Park City planners can tell you that," he said. But, the battle of numbers num-bers 44 vs. 62 has taken on an added dimension, in light of a further question. How many spaces must Gibson provide to (1) meet, city requirements, and (2) meet a private agreement to replace 30 parking spaces for the Resort and commercial owners there? When the Cornice was approved on May 28, 1980, Gibson contended, the Planning Plan-ning Commission only required re-quired 32 spaces from him, and left him to work out his agreement with the Resort. The minutes of that meeting are not clear, but they leave the impression the Planning Commission made no requirement re-quirement on the 30 Resort spaces. The record states that Commissioner Mike Vance felt, "the developer and the Resort management should discuss and clear up any problems between them. (City Planner Bill Ligety was unavailable to comment on this course of events.) Gibson later proposed to build 44 spaces on his site. Thirty could go to the Resort, and the remainder, as attorney attor-ney Gilson explained in last week's Newspaper, would satisfy city code if Gibson persuaded the Board of Adjustments to give him a variance, or cutback, in the parking required. , Meanwhile, by whatever means, Gibson's original building permit has stipulated stip-ulated he will have 62 spaces 32 to meet city requirements, 30 for the Resort. What of the resort? How many spaces are they demanding? de-manding? Donald J. Winder is the attorney for the Marsac Mill Manor and Silver Mill House Condominium Association, owners of commercial space at the Resort. Winder told The Newspaper he had been concerned by Gibson's plans to construct less than 60 spaces, and he had signed a letter on Aug. 18 to that effect. But Winder said he has since met with Gibson and received assurances the condominium con-dominium association would receive it" replacement parking. "As long as we get our 30, we don't particularly care about the rest." Gordon Strachan, who also signed the letter, represents the Resort, A.K.A. Greater Park City Company. He is not sure, he said, whether to rely on Gibson's assurances or city requirements in order to get the desired 30 spaces his client is owed. The city is keeping a low profile at this point, but can't do so for long. The second, more far-ranging lawsuit was served against them approximately this time last week, said attorney Gilson. An answer must be given to it within the month, he said. CMltflMMedl fin(HDDIl Hello, Heber, Hello, says Taft A note of reason and then some . . . for buying NOW at Dave Strong S55SCHE 1045 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah The engagement is official but the wedding date hasn't been set. Allan Pedersen, senior vice president for Taft International In-ternational Pictures (Sunn At - vv St: IT. u: Some People re U Summer j U S Vacations re ft Some People Take Summer Vacations Not Us! ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS GIFTS Open Daily 11-5 Classic Productions), confirmed con-firmed Tuesday that work has begun to convert the Cloyes Gear building in Heber into the film company's com-pany's new headquarters. "It's definite that we'll be moving at some point in time," he said. "We just don't know when for sure." According to Pederson, the Heber facility will house all the Taft-Suna -functions now scattered among a ber of locations in the Park City area. He said the lease on one of those sites, the Elks Building on Main Street, has already expired. Pederson expects a timetable for the move to be set in about 10 days. He said that timetable depends in part on the completion of the filming of the company's latest feature, "The Capture of Grizzly Adams." Although negotiations for the use of the Heber building began several months ago, the final decision on the move was delayed until the present occupant of the facility, Cloyes Gear Works, Inc., could find another building to house its distribution center. Heber Mayor Lincoln Rasband told The Newspaper that Cloyes had reached an agreement with Provo contractor Don Robertson to build a new structure on city property on the west side of Heber. . 1 J I , f 1 t "V. ( w ' : - y r Survivalists from 1 can only come to clean up the mess or take the report." , Miller was invited to Park City Tuesday to address the noon meeting of the Park City Rotary Club. One of the Rotary members, Father Patrick , Carley, thought he detected an anti-black bias in Miller's remarks, ' and questioned him about that. Miller responded by recalling how, while driving through a black neighborhood neigh-borhood in Los Angeles, he picked up a couple of bullet holes in his car. "I realize that, in general, these people hate me. When it comes riot time, it's your black people, not your white, who riot." But Miller wanted the group to know that his feelings cut across racial boundaries. "I feel much more threatened and resentful toward white liberals than I do blacks because they're responsible for a lot of this crap that's coming down now." David Miller Father Carley persisted. "It isn't far removed from a strong, racist stand," he said. "Certainly you're going to attract a lot of racists, which to me look like a powder keg." Miller refused to back down. "If the black community in a certain town riots and loots all the time, you had better consider them a threat." Ironically, survivalists usually try to keep a low profile because their hoards of guns and precious metals makes them attractive to the very people they are trying to deter. "You don't want to advertise you are a survivalist, because you become a target for burglars." Miller said his group decided to go public "to attract the wide variety of talents which are needed in a crisis." Those talents include medicine, communications, com-munications, agriculture, and the martial arts. The trappings of most survivalists include an armed fortress in a remote location where the rest of the world can be excluded, and Miller's group is no I exception. Somewhere in the mountains, moun-tains, about 60 miles south of Park City, the Salt Lake Survival Society is equipping its retreat with food, firepower and fallout protection. To prepare their members for the worst, . the survivalists are, giving classes in the handling of weapons,, in food storage, in wilderness survival: Since the groups rarely go public, it is difficult to estimate the number of survivalists. But Miller believes there are a lot of them. He said a 1,000-acre ranch south of Delta has been purchased by a group of 200 to 300 survivalists from California. An underground under-ground condominium complex also is under construction in Southern Utah. A magazine for survivalists, from the publishers of Soldier of Fortune, is on the market. But Miller said he's not trying to capitalize on the trend. "I'm not making any money on this. I want a team of a few good and talented people around me for my own survival." -JTI1 JT 1 1 1 ' 1 L- M o u ntain Sustenance A GUJLDE T0 D 1 N JN G JLN P A R K CTY ADOLPH'S AT THE GOLF COURSE On the golf course, Park City.
