According to Tina Lewis, director of Community Affairs Af-fairs for the Park City ChamberBureau, "every business in Park City benefits by being a part of this organization, and with the consolidated effort, members this year will benefit all the more.

According to statements given to the police by the duo, a group of four people came into the Down Under bar and sat near the area where the pair was singing. The suspect, Jack W. Davis, lit a cigar, which apparently bothered them. During a break, Kat James said she asked Davis if he would put out the cigar or move to another table, explaining that the smoke was blowing into their faces and interfering with their singing. Davis reportedly responded, "Get out of here; you're bothering me." When the pair returned to the stage, Mickey James apparently made a pointed remark about the cigar smoking, at which time Davis approached him "in a threatening manner." Kat James stated that she stepped step-ped between the two; and Davis grabbed her roughly 1 by the arm.

The hassle has pitted residents of the Daniels area against the county, the county against animal trainers Doug and Lynn Seus, and a lot of complicated com-plicated conflicts in between. be-tween. Two suits on the issue already have been through the courts, and it was everybody's hope this week that there would be no more. The Seuses house and train wild animals bears, cougars, wolves, deer for movies and television at their farm at Daniels, southeast of Heber. They've been in operation since 1977, and, according to Mrs. Seus, have always had a good relationship with neighbors. In 1979, the county amended its zoning code and, with an eye toward more development in the area, zoned the Seuses' and surrounding property R-2 a status that prohibits anything but domestic animals ani-mals kept for the owner's own purposes and not for sale. Then, a neighbor sued the Seuses last year for $100,000, claiming her tran quility was disturbed by the wild animals. After a three-day jury trial, the V-; lV-5 .

In the final analysis, visitors come to Park City for more and better bet-ter reasons, year 'round. While the new ChamberBureau Cham-berBureau dues structure has been revamped, the Board of Directors of the consolidated organization has worked hard to make it a simple, equitable system. Park City businesses are invited in-vited to call Tina Lewis with questions about Cham jury ruled in favor of the Seuses, stating the animals fit in the "domestic" category. cate-gory. The Seuses won that round on the surface, but the judge in that case issued his own opinion contradicting the jury's he said the animals weren't domestic. The jury's decision stood, but it was after the judge's opinion was filed that the county filed a criminal charge against the Seuses, charging them with violating violat-ing the zoning code by keeping of wild animals, and charging that the Seuses had wrongly used variances to build fences and cages. That suit was dismissed last week. Mrs. Seus said she believes be-lieves the basis of the strong reaction among neighbors and area residents resi-dents is the question of whether the county can rezone an area, then attempt at-tempt to drive out established estab-lished businesses be they animal training farms, dairy, sheep or horse farms, because they no longer comply with the code. "We are 'grandfathered' in, "meaning the business can remain as a non-conforming use in an R-2 zone, Mrs. Seus said.

With the consolidated con-solidated effort, a membership member-ship in the Park City Area Chamber of Commerce Convention and Visitors Bureau is a wise investment decision for local businessmen business-men and women. Keep this thought in mind: the more successful the 1982 membership drive for the ChamberBureau, the more effective their efforts in serving ser-ving their membership and our community in the best way possible. ness. The issue drew attacks against county planners from area residents, some of whom felt the county was upzoning their rural land to make way for urban development. County planner Bob Mathis agreed there now is a lot of interest in zoning. The Daniels area had been zoned toward rural use, but "many feel it should become be-come more urban and limit uses that interfere with housing" he said. Mrs. seus explained that their farm now houses 16 animals, all of whom are trained and controlled to the point of domesticity. Their trained grizzly has appeared on the Grizzly Adams television series, and "you can ride on his back." Often school children and senior citizen groups come out on field trips, she said. Mrs. Seus believes that, although the conflict has been blown out of proportion, propor-tion, it has raised a lot of interest in zoning laws and perhaps will "clear the air. People are now aware of some of the inequities in zoning and are taking a second look. Mathis said the county "is working toward a resolution of the problem, but we can't say what that will be." "We're all trying to reason and work together," Mrs. Seus said. SILVER 1m fTuCL "PARK CITY PROPERTIES; The large, expanded loft, plus-extra stor age make this the most unusual unit in Phase ' I.
