And this created difficulties for members of the City Planning Plan-ning Commission, who wanted wan-ted to guarantee another road access for the Meadows in future plans. Senior planner John Eskelin told the Dec. 15 commission meeting that development in the project has been piecemeal. "We've Night skiing begins Night skiing began Wednesday Wed-nesday at the Park City Ski Area. According to Phil Jones, president of the Ski Area, night skiing will be offered from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., seven nights a week, (excluding Christmas eve).

The commission directed work to begin on a master plan for the area, telling staffers to assemble the documented history of Park Meadows.

But Eskelin presented only one document of such a commitmentand com-mitmentand that allowed builders the option of building an access instead to Highway 224. (The present major access to Park Meadows is Monitor Drive off Highway 248.) "When we approved Park Meadows 5, you made a commitment to go from there to Highway 248," said Commissioner Chairman Greg Lawson. "We want that tied down before we approve a master plan. And we want Park Meadows to put in its fair share for the access." Commissioner Rusty Davidson pressed builders to show they were committed to create the 248 access. "Sometimes we've seen the plans with the road penciled in, and sometimes not. Now, we aren't seeing it," he said. Said Bruce Erickson, an engineer for the developer, Utah "You've got a 50-foot easement ease-ment there." "I don't want an easement," said Davidson. "I want a road." The easement mentioned runs through the school parcel par-cel on the north side of Highway 248. The commission com-mission has recommended annexing the parcel, but only on the condition a road would be put there. The Park City School District board, on the other hand, has balked at the idea, saying they do not want to give up valuable land. Plans on that easement, Eskelin said, haven't gone anywhere due to the city-school city-school dispute. Eskelin said records showed that in June 1978, the commission approved plans for Park Meadows 4 and 6, on the conditions that another major road access would be constructed, either (1) leading to Highway 248, or (hi going from 4, in Beer tax defeated, 3-2 A much-maligned plan to impose a tax on three-two beer was defeated Dec. 16 by a three-two vote of the Park City Council. Voting for the tax were Councilwomen Helen Alvarez Al-varez and Tina Lewis. Voting Vot-ing against it were Council-men Council-men Bill Coleman, Tom Shel-lenberger Shel-lenberger and Bob Wells. The proposal called for a tax of three-tenths of a cent per ounce to be imposed on all 3.2 percent beer sold within the city limits. The plan was endorsed by the board of directors of the Park City Chamber of Commerce-Visitors and Convention Conven-tion Bureau, but vehemently opposed by owners of local drinking establishments. In calling for the passage of the tax, Alvarez argued that it was best for the city to act before the Utah Legislature Legisla-ture imposed a statewide beer tax of its own. "I feel the only way to collect this money and use it here is to take the option the Councilman escapes doghouse City Councilman Tom Shellenberger used a guilty plea and some legal horse-trading horse-trading Wednesday to resolve re-solve two charges against him for animal-control violations. viola-tions. Shellenberger pleaded guilty in Fifth Circuit Court for "dog running at large." He was fined $5 for the Nov. 5 incident, according to 3 'Twas a flight before Christmas When, down from a cloud, Big snowflakes came falling, and branches were bowed. My long boards were set by the mantle with care, In hopes that deep powder soon would be here. The ski bums were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of faceshots danced in their heads. And I in my ski boots for a novel nightcap Had just settled, too, for a long winter's nap. When, deep in a dream, there arose such a virgin, I hopped on a chairlift to satisfy my urgin'. Way up on the mount, I rose like an eagle Through the forest so white 'cause of snow, oh, so regal. When, what to my widening eyes should appear? But a wide open bowl and I emoted a tear. Soon there I found myself reaching the summit, With goggles and snorkel all set now to plummet. Adrenalin flowing as I jumped off the cornice, I knew that, with Heaven, this must be the nexus. And, boy, let me tell you: in this powder-filled bowl, I knew, in a pole plant, I had just found my soul. But, during these first turns, though I had not a care, The snow here got so deep I was gasping for air ; For, when you've found new love in blazing that cold smoke, You get gasping so hard it can make a man so choke. More rapid than reindeer, on long boards, I came As I rode them, I shouted and called them by name: "Now, Fischer! Now Volkl! Now, Spaulding and Hanson! On, Rossi! On, K2! On, Pre Ski and Olin! To the top of the lift, to the top of it all ! Now, ski away ! Ski away ! Ski away, all!" Too soon there I found myself reaching the bottom, Where I met with the lift man, whose job is to load 'em. As I took off my pole straps and was turning around, I got a nod from the lift man as he made not a sound. I, too, spoke not a word ; with my head, gave a quirk, And was then on his chair as I sat with a jerk. But I heard him exclaim as I rose out of sight : "Happy skiing to all, and to all a good flight." Clement C.Heins plan western Park Meadows, through Ridgeview to Highway High-way 224. Project architect Spence Smith and owner Dick Smith told the commission they were prepared to work out road alignment to 224, Said Davidson, "Maybe your alternative here is a decent solution, but I'm having some trouble seeing it. It looks like a long way to go to get to Park Meadows 5." In another matter related to Park Meadows, the commission com-mission asked the builders to work with city staff to get more physical data on sensitive sen-sitive parcels in the subdivision. sub-division. These would include in-clude the Overlook Village and Funicular Village parcels. par-cels. The overall density of Park Meadows would be between 2006-2287 units, said Eskelin, or about 3.5 units per acre. state has given us," she said. She was joined by Council-woman Council-woman Lewis, who announced an-nounced that her vote represented re-presented the desires of the Chamber-Bureau. In spelling out his opposition opposi-tion to the tax, Coleman argued that the income gained would be outweighed by the negative impact on the community. Wells said he was in sympathy with the city's limited taxation powers. "However, I'd much rather see what the legislature does with our taxation powers before we make a decision." He added that he was also opposed to the adoption of a single-item tax, particularly in the middle of a budget year. That left Shellenberger. "I'm not going to tell you how I'm going to vote," Shellenberger declared. However, when the votes were cast, he joined Wells and Coleman in opposition to the tax. the county attorney's office. Another charge was filed at the same time by Animal Control Officer Barry Shoda, who said the dog in question was chasing him and snapping snap-ping at him. The charge was dropped by the county, since Shellenberger has now erected an enclosure around his yard. Smoking the Special Mixture by Gary Ileitis |
