Show Page A2 Thursday, August 9, 1990 Park Record PATCH campaign focuses on good food by JACK FORISKA Record staff writer After winding up a three year seat belt campaign with the Survivors celebration in July, the Summit County PATCH (Planned Approach to Community Health) Coalition has chosen the Project LEAN as there next endeavor. Project LEAN (Low-fat Eating for America Now) is a national campaign cam-paign encouraging Americans to reduce their consumption of dietary fat. The coalition has received $2,000 from the state in conjunction with the Kaiser grant and $2,500 from the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta Atlan-ta to fund the project. The project will be implemented in two parts, separating the use of the two grants. State monies will be used in an educational program that will be directed at the fifth grade in the middle mid-dle schools. Teachers will be trained in nutrition to help children make better choices for fat reduction in their diets. The school lunch program, pro-gram, notorious for high fat content, will also be a part of the program and lunch servers will participate in the training. In addition, Albertson's is going to let PATCH come in and identify low-fat low-fat foods on the shelves and the coalition will also hand out recipe cards and food samples during the holidays. The fifth grade will also go on a trip to Albertson's and be taught how i-IBriefs Community college enrollment rises Official summer enrollment at Salt Lake Community College shows 5,582, students, some 1,100 more than last summer. If this summer's 26 percent increase in registration carries through into in-to the fall, the college's "open door" policy will be in jeopardy. Of the college's col-lege's enrollment, 99.2 percent are Utah residents, most of whom come from the Salt Lake valley. Demands are growing beyond the college's ability to respond. Interim college president Heber Hunt says, "Space is at a premium, and inadequate funding makes the hiring of additional quality faculty very difficult." This summer for the first time there are more women than men taking classes: the ratio is 51.9 percent female to 48.1 percent male. Hunt attributes at-tributes this change to the break down of traditional work barriers, changes in family structure and economic necessity. P I ann ing Com mission names county advisory committee On July 31, the Summit County Planning Commission selected nine people peo-ple of varying backgrounds and from different geographical areas to aid with planning issues in the Snyderville Basin. The Planning Charette held in January recommended that an advisory committee be formed to research, make recommendations and to aid in the planning process. The commission has been taking applications for the past two months and has selected the following members from those applications: Paul De Groot, Vince Desimone, Arlene Fine, Jeff Graham, Max Greenhalgh, Greg Lawson, Kathy Mears, Lynn Stevens and Bruce Wallin. Searchers locate bodies The bodies of 47-year-old James Baxendale and his 12-year-old son Shay were located on Sunday and Monday at Echo reservoir. The two had been missing for a week following a two boat collision on the lake. Searchers were hampered in efforts to locate the bodies by murkey water. Five other accident victims were treated for minor injuries and released releas-ed while two other passengers were unhurt. The cause of the accident is still under investigation according to the Summit County Sherrifs department. Utah may lead Russians in Olympic bid Marat Granov, a member of the IOC, recently toured Salt Lake City and said Sochi, Salt Lake's competitor in the Soviet Union is not prepared to host the Olympics. He saida lot of work is nessecary before they can be the site of the Olympic Games. Granov is one of the top sports officials in the Soviet Union.

This part of the program will be coordinated by ColeenBlonquist. John Corn from CDC in Atlanta visited Park City two weeks ago according ac-cording to Bonnie Lochner of the County Health Dept. "He was thrilled thrill-ed with what we are doing," she said. Park City was the first PATCH community in the western United States and Lochner says, "They are amazed at what we are doing with the amount of money we have to work with." Atlanta wants the coalition coali-tion to design a program with the money they have donated, that will combine good nutrition with exercise. exer-cise. "He was hinting that there will be more money available for exercise exer-cise programs and for us to stick with it," said Lochner. PATCH is already working with the senior citizens center in Coalville on a program that will combine good nutritional advice and a exercise program set to music. Lochner says, "No one needs nutritional advice more than a single elderly person living on a fixed income." They will also be approaching area restaraunts in order to try and get them to reduce the fat in their cooking and to list low-fat choices on their menus. Heart disease is the No.l killer in America and fat and colesterol consumption con-sumption is the No.l cause of heart disease, said Lochner. Sweeney projects get nod Continued from A1 provision that each be zoned according accor-ding to the master plan. The requests to develop the four houses were described by the planning plann-ing staff as two two-lot subdivisions; one on King Road and the other on Upper Norfolk. Each lot is one-half acre in size and is zoned HR-1 MPD, so that Historic District architectural architec-tural guidelines apply. The minimum setback is 10 feet from all property lines, and a minimum of two parking spaces is required for each house. The maximum allowable building height is 25 feet measured from existing ex-isting grade, but height exceptions of up to 28 feet may be approved to accommodate accesses such as stairwells or elevators between floors. For development of the subdivisions, subdivi-sions, Sweeney will be required tp dedicate about 40 acres of the ROS-zoned ROS-zoned hillside to the city as open space to be held in perpetuity. The balance of the ROS area will not be dedicated at this time, but will be done as other parcels come on line for development in the future. Sweeney has requested a waiver of all park development fees required re-quired by the city's subdivision ordinance or-dinance in exchange for the trails and open space dedication. Regarding access, a "turnaround" "tur-naround" area on Upper Norfolk will be constructed, as well as private driveways to the individual homes. City staff members were pleased that the turnaround area would be built on a street which they termed "substandard." The proposed rezones, which await city council approval, are as follows: The hillside parcel, 109 acres, zoning changed from estate to ROS. -Upper Norfolk, King Road, Fifth Street and Sheen single families, zoning changed from HR-1 to HR-1 MPD. Town Lift Midstation, 3.75 acres, zoning changed from HR-1 to estate for purposes of hotelcondominium and support commercial uses.

The dty planning staff .had. for-; warded positive' recommendations to the Planning Commission on both requests for the zoning and the preliminary plat approvals. Commissioner Dean Berrett made separate motions to approve the requests, re-quests, under the condition that planning officials meet with the developer to discuss the maximum building sizes prior to plat recordation. recorda-tion. Commissioner Erickson seconded the motion to approve the subdivisions, subdivi-sions, while Commissioner Diane Zimney seconded the motion regarding regar-ding the proposed rezones. ' Day care... Continued from A1 she made no allegations that some operations may be unlicensed. LaGrange says she listed all caregivers care-givers she knew of, providing those to the city, "so that there can be the quality control that is needed for the safety of the children." At the Tuesday task force meeting much of the discussion centered on where child care facilities should be located residential versus commercial com-mercial zones. Osguthorpe, referring referr-ing to a 1926 court decision that formalized for-malized the thought of separating residential from commercial uses, asked whether that law's intent has been lost. In that case, the court "based its approval of excluding non-residences from residential zones on the desire to 'preserve a more favorable environment in which to raise children'. Is a child care facility at odds with this intent?" in-tent?" he asked. . . Dr. Paula Gibbs-Taylor, a parent and a Park City physician, told the group that the question of where to locate child care may rest on the issue of whether people believe day care is private enterprise or "quasi-public." "quasi-public." By locating centers near schools, the impact on neighborhoods could be eased and the safety needs for children could be more adequately met by not locating centers in areas of intense commercial use. : , Other issues raised were: traffic and parking; noise; property values; concentration or density; whether the introduction of day care means the demise of a neighborhood; and community expectations ex-pectations and desires. Planners asked task force members to visually inspect Park City's zones and visit child care operations prior to the next meeting. Recommendations of the task force are to be drafted by the city planning staff and submitted to the planning commission at a public hearing. If adopted by the commission, the proposal pro-posal will go before the city council for a public hearing and subsequent action.
