City Briefs by Adam Elggren OF THE RECORD STAFF Locals react to city design amendments Amendments to design ordinances in Park City's historic district received qualified support from local architects at a public hearing Wednesday night. Most of the architects who commented on the changes proposed for the city's HR-1 and HR-L design guidelines were the same planners who contributed con-tributed to recent forums aimed at smoothing out the codes, which had been sharply criticized of late. Before public comment was taken. City Planning and Zoning Administrator Pat Putt explained that the amendments were the "common denominator" that the private and city planners could agree on. "During the process, we found that we really all agree on much more than we disagree on." said Paul DeGroot. one of the private planners. DcGroot said the old design codes don't "allow fur the versatility design requires." and that the amendments will encourage a wider range of home designs and sizes in the historic district. Peter Barnes of the Bedlam Design Group had the strongest criticism for the status quo. "I think Pat glossed over the idea that the present situation is OK." said Barnes. He and many of the other designers said the old approach of limiting projects based on only height and area was both too restrictive and too simplistic. "Yeah, you can change any of the numbers included in the proposed amendments, but you have to remember we're looking at volume now." said Barnes. He said a "volumetric" approach will allow designers more flexibility to create variation among Old Town buildings. Fred Hahn said the amendments were unnecessary unneces-sary at best, and perhaps too loose. He noted his architect. Kevin King, was able to construct an attractive home under the old guidelines and said the new ones will create homes that are too high for Old Town. The public hearing was closed, though action on the amendments has not yet been scheduled, as city planners want to go back over them after hearing the commissioners' comments. They will also go before the city council for approval. Wednesday's planning commission action While the big event at Wednesday night's planning plan-ning commission meeting was approval of the Flagstaff recommendation, the commission also took some significant steps involv ing major developments around town. On the commission's consent agenda was a project pro-ject at 1245 Deer Valley Dr.. the First Western Mortgage Building. That project received approval from the commission and was not open for public comment. The commission unanimously passed a final plat amendment for The Cove at Eagle Mountain, the final phase of a major Park Meadows-area subdivision. subdivi-sion. Commissioner Michael O'Hara stipulated, before voting to pass, that the developers must be in accordance with all air and water quality standards as they begin to excavate and build on the huge parcel par-cel of land north of the American Saddler area. Also approved Wednesday following minimal public comment was a positive recommendation to the city council on a final plat amendment for the Black Bear Lodge, the 53-unit condominium complex com-plex with a prominent location at the entrance to the Silver Lake area at 7447 Royal St. The plat was largely a formality necessary for conversion to condominiums. con-dominiums. Wednesday the commission also forwarded a positive pos-itive recommendation to the council on The Lodge at Deer Valley, a 125-unit condominium complex on the Deer Valley Drive loop, 2900 Deer Valley Dr. That project now goes to the council for review; a conditional use permit (CUP) has already been approved. Mulligan's at 804 Main St. was awarded a CUP to become a private club Wednesday. The CUP will allow Mulligan's to serve a greater proportion of liquor than was allowed as a restaurant. Re-appointments and a resignation The Park City Council re-appointed planning Commissioner Bruce Erickson to a four-year term at Thursday's meeting. Commissioner Tom Calder apparently has decided not to resign, and the council will decide who will fill his slot or if he will be reappointed re-appointed in coming weeks. The council also re-appointed Historic District Commissioner Linda McReynolds and appointed Ron Butkovich and Malcolm MacQuoid to that body. City awards $500,000 contract to examine value of expensive studies In a widely-anticipated, pre-April Fool's Day move, the Park City Council approved Thursday a $500,000 contract to evaluate the usefulness of expensive studies. The Denver-based firm of Weasel, Muskrat, Ferret and Associates won the unprecedented contract, con-tract, which calls for "a comprehensive examination of the efficacy of absurdly expensive studies." according to City Mitigator Cody Toss. "I have a feeling this study will prove once and for all that expensive studies are well worth it for the city." said Toss. "Not that I'm anticipating any specific outcome." he added. Officials expect the study to begin late this summer sum-mer with a wide-spread phone survey, conducted during the evening, asking residents how they feel about being interrupted by phone surveyors during dinnertime. w Mi - l S ITSa.k.a. r ( J f-v AC JvL SUZANNE HARRIS With lots of love from J il your pals in the, f ( f S f "W.I" cul-de-sac Of neighborhood I ' ' -I |
