Miller said "planning and preservation" continue to be the main topics facing the city. "If we can't preserve Park City, none of us are going to want to live here anymore," she says. She believes it is the Council's job to plan in advance for the kind of traffic which will result from population growth, for example. Council incumbent Ruth Gezclius, who came in third with 360 votes, was not available for comment Tuesday evening. Gezelius, a 12-year Park City resident, has served on the current Council for two years. For six years she served on the Park City Planning Commission, two as its chairperson. Gleaning 234 votes during the Tuesday vote, Council incumbent Ray Craig Johnson facetiously said he was celebrating the primary victory at his home by "having a scotch and going to bed." Johnson is treasurer of the Park City Ski Area and says he will be campaigning hard for the upcoming election. During the 1989 City Council election, Johnson won his current seat by a margin of only four votes.

But Williams says attempts to purchase those properties would depend on final negotiations with the RTC on the 62 acres of land it holds. The proposed Smith's Superstore and retail space are to be located on the project's east side, backing up to the City Cemetery. Residential development would lie on the property's west side along Highway 224. Williams says the plan preserves wetlands as a natural greenbelt . Two major accesses were proposed. One would lie off of Kearns Boulevard, while the second would be located across from Adolph's Restaurant on Highway 224. City Engineer Eric DeHaan told council and commission members putting an entrance there, even though it already has approval from the Utah Department of Transportation, would be risky. "It would be the equivalent of Bonanza Drive, only more awkward," he said, "the visibility would be worse than an acute angle there and it could be risky." Council Member Sally Elliott told colleagues "I feel very comfortable about what's been done." She added that protection of the project's greenbelt would be of extreme importance to everyone. Regarding the site's design. Council Member Ruth Gezelius said she hopes the development will preserve pedestrian access to open space. Council Member Bob Richer said he sees positive progress. "This is where commercial and a grocery store should go," he commented. Richer said he hopes the final development will eventually include the other parcels yet to be acquired in order to see an integrated corner.

Distribution Cartoonist presented him with a name tag dubbing Johnson with the nickname "landslide." Candidate Diane Zimney received 201 votes, which placed her in fifth position. She could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening. Zimney currently serves as a Park City Planning Commissioner. Commission-er. A seven-year Park City resident, she is the president of Coalition Title. With 93 votes, Council Candidate Todd Gabler took the sixth available spot on November's Nove-mber's ballot. He is co-owner and managing general partner of Salt Lake City-based Modern Media Consulting. He says the two main issues he will address during the campaign are land management-growth management-growth and efficiency in Park City government. Gabler told the Record Wednesday he believes the "name recognition factor" will be the biggest hurdle for his campaign. "It inhibits people from knowing wliat I stand for," he says, "Leslie Miller and I share very much the same philosophy in terms of land management ethics." Gabler said he plans to send brochures and go door to door speaking with neighborhood residents during the next month. Planning Commissioner Diane Zimney questioned Williams regarding the proposed 216 residential units which would be priced at $70,000 each. "It doesn't look as if $70,000 would pencil out," she said, explaining the need for more information on the development's housing proposal. Regarding the proposed hotel, Commissioner Ron Whaley said he would need more justification on that item. "Tenants will change dramatically from concept to eventual users," he said. Commission Chairman Dean Berrett told Williams it took 18 months before Park City's Holiday Village Shopping Mall to be fully occupied. He suggested that the Smith's supermarket not be a "Superstore" and to forego the retail space proposal. Williams countered that idea, saying Smith's has gone through a wide variety of store size changes. He said it's the store's amenities which makes them successful (such as video rental, bakery, yogurt shop, bank, florist or dry cleaner). Years ago, Williams said, the stores were 71,000 square feet while the stores in Arizona and California are now 84,000. In response, Berrett said, "This is Park City, not Phoenix." But Williams explained that he currently has two letters of intent from national tenants who plan to lease 30,000 square feet of retail space. "With the financing structure today, you want to have national tenants," Williams said. Because the project will undergo the master planned development process, it will have to adhere to a 60 percent open space requirement. This allows for 42 acres of open space, including 10 zoned as recreational open space. Plans include creating a landscaped buffer along both Highway 224 and Keams Boulevard.

Case reiterated that development of new water sources can reduce flows in springs; it can cause water levels to decline in wells; it can cause the encroachment of poor quality water; and can impact wetlands. Case was asked what options for water development the students should explore based on zero growth up to 50,000 population growth. He responded, "You need to look at the potential of yield that different geologic formations will produce, and what the impacts will be for using the water in terms of quantity and quality. Look at the discharge impacts," he added. Regarding soils, Darrel Tinkler, a representative of the Soil Conservation Service, said close to one-third of the soils here are heavy and clay-like. In one area near Jeremy Ranch he said they are particularly prevalent "I noticed a potential problem from steep cuts for roads that could slip...Thoses big, pretty houses are possibly at risk. As long as it stays dry the ground is pretty stable, but that usually isn't the case," said Tinkler. "That's something to look Telemark Park... Continued from A1 during October.

Park City Museum Rhoda S ha dwell Orchard Snyder, known as Aunt Rhoda, was the first woman to live in Park City. She was the fifth wife of George Gideon Snyder, who brought Rhoda and their daughter Lily here in the spring of 1872. They built a log cabin near the location of the Kimball Art Center. Later the cabin was expanded and turned into a boarding house which Rhoda managed. George and Rhoda had seven children; the sixth, Ruby Lucille Snyder Brown, died in 1983 at the age of 102. Daughter Pearle died in infancy and was the first person buried in the city cemetery on Kearns Boulevard. for when you're planning for any land use." The impact of development on wildlife was also explored. Rory Reynolds from the Utah Department of Natural Resources said, "Many indigenous species are going to be lost...forever," due to increasing development "A lot of species are not density tolerant," Reynolds explained, therefore, open spaces should be preserved for their habitat. 'To maintain wildlife in the area, Park Meadows by ROBIN PORTER Record staff writer Many Park Meadows and Prospector students will walk and bicycle along newly painted pedestrian walkways on their way to school as part of a temporary safety measure, according to the city's public works department Department spokesperson John Lind told the Record Tuesday streets were scheduled for striping Wednesday. Following the painting project, sections of Monitor, Lucky John and Comstock Drives will have designated eight-foot-wide walkways with separate cycling lanes. The City Council voted last week to go ahead with the $5,000 project (from the city's street project fund) in an effort to create safer passage for local school children. Public Works Department Director Jerry Gibbs told Council members during last week's City Council meeting that asphalt and concrete safety paths are planned for the two areas in the spring. Expressing concern for the expenditure going toward a temporary measure, City Council Member Sally Elliott said she wondered whether it was prudent to proceed since residents were originally told the city was not going to begin until spring. Council Member Ray Craig Johnson said he was not sure a temporary measure would accomplish anything. "I've seen bike paths in other cities and the drivers tend to ignore them," he said. But Gibbs told the Council that having no striped pedestrian paths is a more dangerous option. Regarding the effect designated City area we are going to have to address a lot of issues." Reynolds said a county plan to address how species are preserved needs to be conducted. The water, wildlife and geology of the area were only a small part of the students' explorations. "It was really a good discussion," said Moser. "I think these students know more about what's going on in Summit County than 90 percent of its residents." streets get stripes paths would pose to parking, Gibbs said street parking would be restricted on the striped streets between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The city, he said, had received three calls from Comstock residents who protested the resultant constraint on parking. Additionally, the city received a letter from Paul Sincock of the S.AP.E. citizen's group supporting the temporary striping measure.
