Some of the surrounding structures are as-yet unbuilt, but approved, projects such as the Caledonia Hotel. Building out a community Local architect David Belz says good design, not politics, should drive projects like the Town Run by Adam Elggren OF THE RECORD STAFF You've heard of policy "wonks" those people for whom nothing is as exciting as the ins and outs and ups and downs of government policy. Well, there are wonks of all types. Park City's David Belz is a design wonk. Belz has spent the last 20 years, by his own admission, studying the ins and outs, the minutia and the megatrends, of architectural design. He has cultivated culti-vated a healthy obsession for attractive, functional buildings that fit within the cultural context con-text of their neighborhoods. During his 15-some years in Park City, Belz has also developed a lot of opinions about how city planning- processes should but too often don't take shape. "Every day I've been here, every single project I've brought before the city has been put through the wringer," said Belz. One such project, one of Belz's most recent efforts, has occupied hours upon hours of his time and hasn't earned him a penny's commission. It may, however, how-ever, prove to be a moneymaker for him in the long run. Belz was not involved with the newly-approved Town Run in any official capacity, but it has logically attracted much of his attention. He owns a sizeable chunk of property just across the street from what will surely be the most (famous) piece of open space in Park City, the run that skiers will one day use to schuss across Park Avenue and down onto lower Main Street. He's invested some half-million dollars dol-lars of his time in the project, he said, because he considers it to be of the utmost importance to Old Town's future. Belz sees two sides polar opposites, in fact to the Town Run debate. "There is the group that thinks this is the one great thing that is really going to tie this town together." He counts himself among that group. "And there is the one that thinks it will be the nail in the coffin, and destroy Old Town." The first group, said Belz, thinks the bridge will be usable open space in the summer, a unique public park. The other side fears it will be "a scar or chasm that will separate the two sides of Old Town," says Belz, "but that's just an emotional characterization." Belz would like to see the bridge reach its full potential in Please see Belz, A-6 Police blotter Potential road hazards: keys, cans, fruit, sound stages all got in way of automobiles last week Apart from the usual cornucopia cornu-copia of school-zone traffic violations viola-tions and feast of false alarms, Park City police were kept busy by the following incidents last week: A Park City hotel employee called police Sunday, Nov. 24 asking ask-ing for a report on a guest's rental car mishap for insurance purposes. Police received a call from a man on Main Street Sunday saying "persons unknown" had turned off power to his building, according to police dispatch reports. A parking enforcement officer reported Sunday - that a truck which had been marked two days ago was still in the same parking spot in the China Bridge Garage. The truck, which had New Mexico plates, was a worry to the officer because two dogs were pent up inside. The Summit County Sheriff's office received a call regarding a fight at a Park Avenue location early Sunday morning. Responding officers broke up the fight and took one individual to the hospital. They were unable to locate some of the parties involved in the fracas, but determined from interviews that it was "mutual combat." An officer investigated a report of some people walking amongst the cars at a local dealership in the wee hours of Sunday morning. The people were, they said, doing some late-night shopping. The officer advised them to "find a more appropriate time to shop." Five females were reportedly being "loud and obnoxious" at the intersection of Kearns Boulevard and Homestake Road Saturday night, Nov. 23. The offending females could not be located when officers arrived. A fight in a Main Street club Saturday night apparently involved at least 10 people, according accord-ing to dispatch reports. No injuries were reported. A caller to police on Saturday night reported that a Main Street club was causing an excessive noise disturbance. An investigating investigat-ing officer determined that the music could be heard from outside the building, and the volume was lowered. A Rolex wristwatch was stolen from the Park City Racquet Club Saturday evening. Several males were reportedly "looking into other people's vehicles" vehi-cles" Saturday afternoon, according accord-ing to a caller from the vicinity of Ironhorse Drive. ' Three people were cited for disorderly dis-orderly conduct and one for unlawful possession of alcohol by a minor after "yelling and screaming" scream-ing" were heard outside a Park City residence. Another minor was cited for unlawful possession Saturday morning following a fight in Swede Alley. Some "Italian visitors" were given a verbal warning for going the wrong way on 5th Avenue Friday night, Nov. 21, according to dispatch reports. Two teens were reportedly throwing snowballs at cars on lower Main Street Friday night, but police were unable to locate them. Police assistance was requested on an ambulance call after a man doing construction work in Deer Valley Friday fell through a roof. A Park Meadows resident reported to police Thursday his roommate had taken some of his possessions about about $2,000 worth and had not returned them. A man arrested in Deer Valley Friday morning for driving under the influence of alcohol and with a suspended license turned out to have an outstanding Salt Lake City warrant in the amount of $2,500. He was taken to the Summit County jail. Thursday, Nov. 21 a man reported report-ed a piece of fruit had been thrown at his bus. No damage was done, and officers were unable to locate the offenders.
