Show Mr I HE SALT i:"" SUUtu iirSTfTjii ... n.n ,3h Itricfs- Hurricane victim aid Often when a natural disaster occurs there is a frustration level from people who want to help but just don't know how or what they can do that would make a difference. Global Van Lines, in conjunction with the Red Cross, and the Park Record have come up with a way Park City residents can reach out to those victims of Hurricane Andrew. On Saturday September 19 and Monday and Tuesday, September 21 and 22 a moving van will be stationed in the parking lot of the Park Record (1670 Bonanza Drive) to accept needed items for those people in Florida who are suffering. The Red Cross has suggested non-perishable non-perishable items such as canned goods, rice and beans, along with paper products from plates to toilet paper and personal hygiene items like shampoo and soap. For a full list of items needed check the ad on page A-7 of this week's paper. Packing boxes will be available on site. The Park Record wishes to thank Steven Vowles of A-l Pioneer Moving and Storage who has recently opened an office on Kearns Blvd. for generously donating the van and driver and expenses involved with insuring this important delivery. Woods grants easement During the Sept. 10 council meeting, the city accepted a grant of a scenic easement The Woods at Deer Valley. The easement was granted by the homeowners' association in order to prevent future development and to get relief from property tax assessments, according to a memo from City Attorney Jim Carter. District refinances bonds The Board of Trustees for the Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement District Monday approved the refinancing of two bonds taken out by the district in 1984 and 1985. The bonds are funding the construction of the Silver Creek sewer plant and trunk lines, according to SBSID Manager Rex Ausburn. He said the refinancing will save the district more than $500,000 and will allow the bonds to be paid off a year earlier than originally scheduled. "This is resulting in substantial advantages to the sewer district," Ausburn said Council OKs Peterson purchase The City Council approved a sales agreement for the purchase of the Peterson Property, 28 acres of open space located near Highway 224, during the Sept. 10 council meeting. The purchase price is $412,500, payable over the next five years. The approval authorizes $150,000 from the city reserve fund as a "down payment" on the parcel, according to a memo from City Manager Toby Ross to the council. T-m il lln n I "TPs "TlO' Parn.

SchillerMoore conflict cost by ANDREA MATHER Record staff writer The latest bill for the five-month five-month controversy between former Treasure Mountain Middle School Principal Brian Schiller and former Park City School District Superintendent Nancy Moore brings the total legal costs to $69,446, according to Burke Jolley, Park City School District business manager and acting superintendent Kirton, McConkie and Poelman, the law firm of Moore's attorneys received $38,556 while Park City School Board's legal County considers annexing by SENA TAYLOR Record staff writer The Summit County Commission held a public hearing Tuesday on whether to allow a 318-acre parcel of ground near Silver Summit to be annexed into the Atkinson Special City Council hedges on Keetley by AMBER McKEE Record staff writer An old mule trail winding its way up the side the slopes east of Deer Valley has been the subject of much discussion of late. Keetley Road, as the trail is now called, provides the access link between Park City and Telcmark Park Resort, located at the crest of the mountain. The problem is simple, but twofold: two-fold: 1) Park City is in Summit County; Telemark Park is in Wasatch County, and 2) Park City is trying to control its growth, and Telcmark Park, and its developer Trans-Wasatch wants to grow and expand. Not surprisingly, Keetley Road has become the focus of the problem. During the Sept. 10 City Council work session, Trans-Wasatch Trans-Wasatch President McKay Edwards addressed the council on Serving Summit County since 1881 September to open under and new partners who will operate the ski area with a leaseoption to buy. Opening date is slated for Dec. 11. Griswold, who said he is "still involved in the Empire Suisse House (located near the Park City IWHII"P1 " i ( .

The remaining costs of $8,689 include the cost of the hearing officer and court reporter for the July hearing of Schiller's grievances against Moore. Schiller's $500,000 federal lawsuit against Moore and the school district, which charges his First Amendment right to free speech had been violated, is going to be amended, said his attorney Erik Strindberg of the law firm Cohne, Rappaport and Segal. The amendment to the claim on Sept. 16, will also ask for Schiller to be Service District, per the wishes of owners of the property, Frank and Nadine Gillmor. The Atkinson Special Service District is a water company authorized by the county which serves Silver Summit, the Silver Creek Commerce Center and Park the need for some kind of compromise. The issue is one of access. Telcmark Park cannot function without two points of ingressegress, according to their Wasatch County approval, but Park City is concerned about letting resort traffic wind its way through the Queen Ester subdivision and onto Deer Valley Drive. "We're asking you to stop interfering with the access to our property." Edwards said. "What I'm asking for is a chance to negotiate a settlement." The project is developing a history. In February 1988 Trans-Wasatch Trans-Wasatch was issued a grading permit to upgrade Keetley Road as a "private" thoroughfare, according to the city. Edwards told the council during an Aug. 13, 1992 work session that "we feel we have been open and consistent with the city Ski Area) with John Paul De Joria of John Paul Mitchell hair products" has joined in this new venture with Dick Reynolds president, Grant Wortena, marketing director, and Lee Peters, :onsultant, along with "three i Wf.' ft --if:, l : ' :V' - i - r 4 t 'f i i f . 4 reinstated as principal of TMMS, he said. The first change is a type of wrongful discharge- a deprivation of property without due process, said Strindberg. He believes the situation left Schiller with no alternative but to leave. Furthermore, Strindberg said that Schiller was entittled to a fair hearing if he was going to be fired. On Aug. 5, the school board accepted Schiller's resignation. He had been given a termination letter on Aug. 2. Strindberg's second claim contends that Schiller's liberty was Ridge Estates. Users of the water system pay fees to operate the district; no other county residents are taxed for it. Attendance at the hearing was sparse, and the only concerns raised came from a county planner who requested more information about about our plans all along. We clearly disclosed our intent to develop Telemark Park in 1988." However, so far the city hasn't seen it that way. In a Dec. 18, 1990 letter to Edwards, City Attorney Jim Carter revoked their permit and requested that "no further grading or construction activities take place within...Keetley Road." The reason behind this move, according to some staff members, was that the issue of public access hadn't been discussed at that point "We made a conscious decision not to deal with the big issue in 1988," City Council Member Bob Richer said Sept 10. "The issue we're trying to get to now is, 'What do we do next?'" said Planning Director Nora Seltenrich. Carter advised the council to make a "planning sort of public policy decision and then worry about the legal risks.

He believes that Schiller's employers have possibly made untrue statements about his client. Val Chin, school board president, said she could not comment on the change until after it was filed and she had talked with the attorney general's office, which is handling the lawsuit. On Aug. 25 Moore resigned from her superintendent's post citing the toll the dispute had taken on her and her family. The Citizen's Committee had charged on Aug. 18 that Moore had land into the proposed annexation. County Commissioners also raised concerns about any possible ramifications for the county if the annexation is approved, and they asked representatives of the Gillmors and the Atkinson Special Service District to meet with the Road access to resort IV II EREMH jl -KSILVEH CREEK JCT.

The project was approved with six conditions, which include a plan for pedestrian and bicycle circulation, as well as a security posted for all public improvements. In addition to circulation and improvements, the approval also calls for a trolley turnaround to "be improved to a standard acceptable to the Transportation Director." Also, a Parks and Recreation fee of $2,070-($1035 for each parcel) must be posted before the plat is recorded. The preliminary and sketch plat for the first phase was approved earlier this year in April, amid some controversy over an amendment to a 1982 agreement between the former developer of the project and the city. The amendment to the agreement requires that the current developer, Mcintosh Mill, lower the height of the project, among other things, in return for $700,000 of city funds which are to Continued on A2 extensively plagiarized herBrigham Young University educational doctoral dissertation.
