UDOT officials found the intersection intersec-tion of S.R. 224 and Thaynes Canyon Drive has failed to meet any of about 10 criteria including accident history for ' wntmm : High My Myi nf artt i J'i v K"-' : .

Bleyle OF THE RECORD STAFF After last Thursday's meeting of Jeremy Ranch homeowners, the Summit County Board of Commissioners has decided to hold-up the sign permit for a 40-foot sign at the Jeremy Ranch Amoco station for 60 days. According to Summit County Deputy Attorney Dave Thomas, the commissioners commis-sioners exercised a right guaranteed by the Snyderville Basin Development code that allows them to instruct the community commu-nity development director to hold-off on permit approval if circumstances warrant. war-rant. Thomas said circumstances regarding regard-ing possible safety issues and increased traffic around the Amoco and Jeremy Ranch Elementary were adequate to Fire restrictions lifted Fire restrictions on Utah's state, federal and private lands have been lifted as of Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 12:01 a.m. Because of recent precipitation and cooler temperatures, tempera-tures, the state forester, officials of the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service are lifting the ban on open fires 'People throughout the state may once again build campfires and smoke in the state's wildlands.

"Our preliminary information does not show that that site warrants a light," said Jim McMinimee, UDOT Region Two director. Another accident occurred at the intersection on Thursday, Sept. 12. Only minor injuries were reported. The state reviews intersections at question based upon how much overall traffic the crossroads see, their geometric geomet-ric layout, their accident history and prompt the commissioners to keep the permit at bay. Last year, Bell Oil Company, owners of the Jeremy Ranch Amoco Station off Interstate 80, were granted the right to construct a 40-foot pole sign to help draw traffic off the interstate. The right to build the sign was based on a 1988 site plan approval for a 75-foot sign. Because Bell Oil had previous, or vested, vest-ed, rights, the commissioners decided to approve a pole sign, as long as it was scaled down from the 1988 approved height. But Jeremy Ranch residents, upon hearing of the possibility of any pole sign at all, banded together last year to protest the sign based on aesthetics. In Please see Amoco, A-2 DABC meets Friday The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control will hold its regular monthly meeting on Friday, Sept. 20 at the DABC offices, 1625 S. 900 W. in Salt Lake City.

The DABC meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. at 224 and perhaps most importantly, said McMinimee the number of people who make turns at them, among other criteria. crite-ria. "That intersection doesn't meet any of those criteria," said the director. However, he added the review process is not entirely complete. Park City Manager Toby Ross asked UDOT to adjust their study to account for the town's high season, said McMinimee, who agreed to the request. One more traffic count will be performed per-formed at the intersection after the new year, he said. Ross was out of town and unavailable for comment.

Bleyle OF THE RECORD STAFF The proposed 6,500-acre Star Pointe residential development and five-star resort is moving closer to approval, says Summit County Director of Community Development Doug Dotson. According to Dotson, Star Pointe developers have been working with the Summit County Planning Department and the Snyderville Basin and the East Side Planning Commissions since the planning commissions' last joint meeting in August. Dotson said the two planning commissions formed a special subcommittee, subcom-mittee, comprised of members who are able to commit more time to the development. devel-opment. The development is the brain-child of developer George Johnson, who has proposed pro-posed a "new town" to be located on a 14-square mile parcel of land north of Browns Canyon Road and east of U.S. 40. Star Pointe is slated to include a 500 room and a 200 room hotel, along with convention facilities and two 18-hole golf courses. Additionally, developers are promising to create a community that includes many types of housing, from five-acre ranchettes, to single-family and attainable housing options.
