Show 1 Conoco station to become convenience store V , , ;: Owl 4 I . Vs- fc Alicia, left, and Suzana Malvonabo Sisters from Lima, Peru on a year's visit Alicia and Suzana Malvonabo Mal-vonabo are sisters from Lima, Peru, who are having the time of their lives as students at Park City High School this year. Rather than representing a formal exchange ex-change student organization, the two came to Salt Lake City on a family excursion, and were invited to stay. The girls' aunt, Mrs. Marta Merino, who teaches Spanish at Westminster College, Col-lege, is a friend of Dr. and Mrs. Elmer Sandberg of Park City. When Alicia and Suzana were visiting Mrs. Merino this summer, all agreed it would be an enriching experience for everyone if they spent the year with the Sandbergs in Park City. Alicia, 17, already has graduated from high school in Lima; Suzana is a senior but will have to repeat the year when she goes home this summer. They have a brother who currently is studying English in Salt Lake City, and another brother and sister at home. Their mother is a widow. Lima is a city of around 7 million, on the coast, surrounded sur-rounded by high mountains. Alicia and Suzana rarely see snow, and are excited about the prospect of learning how to ski this winter. Travel is their favorite pastime in this country, and they already al-ready have been to Disneyland, Disney-land, Florida, Las Vegas and Bear Lake. The girls said they are enjoying classes in the high school this year, especially those that do not require much writing or speaking of English, although they have studied English in school at home and speak it well. When the two return to Lima next summer (it will be winter there) Alicia will study business administration administra-tion at the university and Suzana will return for her final year in high school. New ambulances on order County Health Director Frank Singleton said the state should decide by Nov. 4 on his request to fund county ambulance services with federal money. The money, about $420,000, would pay for three ambulances, housing stations for them, and a $150,000 radio system atop Lewis Peak. The federal money, said Singleton, comes from a fund supplied by oil and gas leases on federal land. In Utah, it is allocated to counties by the state's Community Development Board. Singleton said he applied for the money last July. In addition, he has obtained the required approval of the three major town councils for the project. (Singleton visited Park City's council last week.) The grant would provide an ambulance for each of three firms the South Summit Sum-mit Company in Kamas, North Summit in Coalville, and Holy Cross in Park City. The Conoco station on Highway 224 had easy sailing in its bid to change completely complete-ly to a convenience store. The Planning Commission voted 6-1 last Wednesday to allow the change. But first the proposal had to get through a peppery dissent from Commissioner Burnis Watts, who said the day would set a precedent for commercial use down the highway. Proponents argued that without the change the station, across the highway from the golf course, would sit for years as a little-used eyesore. "I don't know how we got a convenience store there. It's not zoned for that," he said. "This goes against ordinance. ordi-nance. It's a mistake that will haunt you for evermore. ever-more. "The gas station was a non-conforming use as it stood. Now you've made a change of use," he said. City Planner Bill Ligety said the convenience store was the same class of use as a gas stop. This was a chance, he said, to improve the site. "Why not improve the service station?" asked Watts. Because nobody patronizes patron-izes it as a service station, according to Stan Johnson, representing the applicant Olympus Oil. "They have tried half-a-dozen auto services there, and they're not viable. If you denied this, the building will sit there for 20 years." "Better that, than four others like it down the road," Watts said. Senior Planner John Eske-lin Eske-lin said the convenience store will grow from the south end, where it is now, to the garage space. The store will have two outside diesel pumps. The store has already received a variance from the Board of Adjustment. Commissioner Com-missioner Carol Calder, who also sits on Adjustments, said, "We were careful, and had full approval of the staff. We were just upgrading the use." The Board, however, made several stipulations on the variance, relating to conforming con-forming lighting for the store, siding, a proper site plan, a general clean-up, a screened refuse area, and a conforming sign. This brought another objection ob-jection from Watts, who said Adjustments was setting conditions as if they were Planning Commission. "When did it change that the Board could only deal with questions of hardship, narrowness, nar-rowness, and depth?" he said. "When I served there, I certainly had a different interpretation of my duties," he told Calder. Despite the arguments, the commission was in a good Lashier resigns public works job City Manager Arlene Loble announced Thursday that Public Works Director Bob Lashier had offered his resignation. "I think the snowstorms we had in late September were the straw that broke the camel's back," Loble told the council. "He is leaving effective Nov. 30, and he hopes that there will be a limited amount of snow before then." Lashier said Monday that he had no concrete plans, but that he might spend some time this winter in Tempe, Arizona, where he owns a home. Lashier came to Park City about 18 months ago. He devoted a great deal of time and effort to updating the city's water system, and received a special word of thanks Thursday from Coun-cilwoman Coun-cilwoman Helen Alvarez for his work in that area. Lashier also found himself in the spotlight in August of 1981 during reinstatement hearings for 28 city employees em-ployees fired in July for walking off their jobs. humour as they moved toward the inevitable vote to finish the night's business. "Burnis, I want you to know I'm not going to sleep one wink tonight," said Calder. "I sincerely hope not," said Watts. Chairman Greg Lawson called for the motion, got six "Aye" votes, and then looked about in mock innocence: inno-cence: "Does anyone have any objections?"
