He's Park City's new attorney. attor-ney. He began work Jan. 4 in an office in the Marsac School building, and will be paid $35,000 a year for his services. "Preliminarily, I think most of the work I'll be doing "Park City has an inordinate number num-ber of lawsuits for its size, and I think it's because the development pressure is so great and the stakes so high. And there's a lot of greed ..." is putting out some fires," said Clyde. "Then it will be preventive legal work long-range long-range planning, and making sure our ordinances are written with defensible standards." Clyde has been practicing law since 1978 in a Salt Lake City firm of 22 attorneys, including his father and brother. His area of expertise is water.and the city has called upon him in the past to work on special projects, such as the Park Meadows V 7& , ? 24 i I HI !f' ' ' J'VsJ ' l.-f J ,': l - - I I r: If fP r iiSBiiippliWii Tom Clyde full-time well. City Manager Arlene Loble offered Clyde the full-time job when attorney Mike McCoy said he could no longer handle, on a part-time basis, the work Park City needed to have done. Does Park City really need a full-time attorney? "People tend to be lawsuit happy up here," said Clyde. "And the problems are so complex, especially those dealing with water. Park City has an inordinate number num-ber of lawsuits for its size, and I think it's because the development pressure is so great and the stakes are so high. And there's a lot of greed ... that's chief on the list." Clyde said it was inevitable inevi-table that the city would be sued now and then, just as any municipality is. But his goal, he said, is to avoid "the real nightmares." IBM liiifil iiMH attorney According to Loble, outside out-side attorneys may be retained re-tained in the future for specific problems, and one of Clyde's responsibilities will be to coordinate their efforts. "One reason we need a full-time attorney is that the council or I may need an answer or an important issue immediately," said Loble. "For me, that issue may be extremely important. But it may not be a top priority for an attorney with a private practice. Now, Tom's here, and he can give me those immediate answers. "If Park City settled down to a no-growth pattern, conceivably the city could go back to hiring attorneys on a retainer basis," Loble continued. con-tinued. "But until that time, I think it's important that we have someone full-time. And we think Tom will do a good job for us." Said Clyde: "I intend to work closely with (Community (Com-munity Development Director) Direc-tor) Mike Vance and (Planning (Plann-ing Director) Bill Ligety dealing with development pressures. Then there are a whole range of smaller things that need attention. "I think I'll keep myself busy," he said with a laugh.

Parking concerns are focus of timeshare meeting There is no historical evidence to prove that time-share time-share units create a greater parking need, so why is the city proposing that they provide more spaces? That was the question most asked at a public hearing held last week before the City Council to discuss the proposed time-share time-share ordinance. It was the first of three public hearings; hear-ings; the second was scheduled sched-uled for the Jan. 13 meeting of the Planning Commission, held after this issue went to press. Provided the commission commis-sion makes a positive recommendation, recom-mendation, the ordinance will be considered for adoption adop-tion by the City Council at their meeting on Jan. 21. The proposed ordinance has been under discussion by the Planning Department since last June, when a six-month moratorium was called to halt the sale of time-shares until a comprehensive compre-hensive review of appropriate appro-priate zones could be conducted. con-ducted. At the time, complaints com-plaints were being registered regis-tered that time-shares were being sold in single-family residential areas, and that the techniques for marketing time-shares were offensive in some cases. On Thursday, the council unanimously approved ap-proved extension of the moratorium until Feb. 15. At last week's council meeting, Planning Director Bill Ligety recommended that time-share, units be treated much like hotels, as a conditional use in those zones where hotels were allowed: in the Historic Commercial Business, Recreational Rec-reational Commercial and General Commercial districts. dis-tricts. However in the RC zone, parking requirements would be greater than for hotel uses. Jeff Swinton of the Sweetwater Sweet-water time-share company told the council that his firm has units at Bear Lake, an area that is not serviced by a major airport or mass transportation, trans-portation, as Park City. Even so, he said, Sweetwater is only required to provide one parking space per unit. "You're now making tjhe i early, distinction that the number of automobiles is greater ( here) than for hotel use," he said. "That's not based on fact, but surmise,. I'd like to be treated like a hotel. The" parking is a real imposition on time-share developers." Councilman Bill Coleman said that because Bear Lake is a considerable distance from, say, Salt Lake City, that people would tend to doubleup in cars. However, because Park City is so close to Salt Lake, some members of a family may choose to drive up on a Friday night, while the rest may bring another car on Saturday. "These kinds of considerations consider-ations led us to believe that the parking would be different," dif-ferent," said Coleman. Jeff Jonas of the Resortex time-share project countered coun-tered that sales figures show that there are more out-of-state buyers than Utahns, and the traffic would come by way of the airlines. Ligety added that historical histor-ical analysis of parking needs in other zones has enabled the Planning Department De-partment to actually reduce requirements after a period of time. He said he felt the same approach could be taken with time-sharing. But if the parking requirements were reduced before an analysis was made, the city would be unable to correct the lack of parking at a later date. Real estate broker Ennis Gibbs told the council that he was not against the passage of an ordinance regulating time-sharing, but he said the proposed ordinance "is unfair, un-fair, onerous and burdensome burden-some to one segment of the business community." He cited the parking requirements re-quirements as one example, and added that he felt it was unfair that every time-share developer had to go through the conditional use process to have his project approved. One section of the ordin-. ordin-. ance concerning the conversion conver-sion of condominiums to time-share ownership especially es-pecially annoyed Gibbs. That section requires that sixty- five percent of the owners of xm VI RESIGNATIONS AND APPOINTMENTS 1. Appointment of Alternate to the Board of Adjustments VII ORDINANCES 1.

Said Gibbs: "I think it's my right as an American citizen to sell my home or condomiium to whoever I want to without asking permission from sixty-five percent of my neighbors." Councilwoman Helen Alvarez Al-varez disagreed. "If I were your neighbor, I'd want to know if I was going to have one neighbor or 52 when you sold." Gibbs also wondered why time-sharing was not permitted per-mitted in the Residential Medium Density zone (RM). He said he owned property in the mouth of Deer Valley that, in his opinion, was a logical place for time-sharing since it allowed for nightly rentals. Jeff Jonas agreed, saying that the city should make its determination of appropriate approp-riate zones for time-sharing not ona basis of where hotels are allowed, but on permanent per-manent residential use versus ver-sus transient use. Resident Al Horrigan wondered won-dered what would prevent someone who owns a single-family single-family home from leasing it at a particular time every year, thus time-sharing it without actually declaring it as such. Planning Director Ligety said that joint ownership owner-ship of residential homes is permitted, so long as not more than two people set up a document that divides the unit on a time-share basis. In the more intensely-developed areas HCB, GC, RC, RM and RDM zones up to nine people may use property jointly before it is considered time-sharing. Although many more questions ques-tions were raised, City Manager Arlene Loble suggested sug-gested that they be aired before the Planning Commission, Com-mission, since that group will make final recommendations recommen-dations on the proposed ordinance to the council.
