Show Saturday, June 21, 1997 The Park Record A-3 City Beat Decision on Old Town delayed Proposed design amendments continued by Jay Hamburger OF THE RECORD STAFF Old Town will remain the same. At least for a few more weeks. After more than two hours of debate and spirited dialogue with about a dozen Old Town residents and developers Wednesday, June 18, the Park City Planning Commission could not agree on any of the eight proposed amendments amend-ments to section 7.1 of the Park City Land Management A Code, which governs development of the historic district. The commission did, though, unanimously agree to continue the amendments until a joint meeting with the City Council could be held, which will probably occur next month, possibly on July 17. The amendments would change a 1995 ordinance that regulates the way building heights and floor areas in Old Town are measured. Amendment supporters argue the 1995 ordinance is too restrictive and has led to architecturally bland buildings in Old Town. "Youre preventing good buildings build-ings from being built." architect Peter Barnes, an amendment supporter, sup-porter, said about the existing ordinance. ordi-nance. "We should be building to the state-of-the-art. To say "Here is a height limit," it does nothing . . . We're not talking about building luxury houses." If passed, the amendments would also create a kind management manage-ment code that will regulate Old Town yard sizes, eliminate triplexes triplex-es in the district and require conditional-use permits for any Old Town bed-and-breakfast establishments. Memorial for an 'unknown' child Couple's friends erect cemetery swing in deceased son's name by Adam Elggren OF THE RECORD STAFF The Park City cemetery received a very special donation this month, one which sprung from tragedy but will stand and swing as a symbol of remembrance and hope. Occupying a prominent spot next to the gazebo near the middle of the cemetery is a beautifully simple wooden chair-swing. The swing and a nearby tree were given to the city cemetery by two local nurses, with help from friends and family members, mem-bers, as a memorial to a dear friend that none of them ever knew. The swing and tree are fond memorials to the son of Les and Susn Dixon, who died stillborn last May after eight-and-a-half months of pregnancy. Rather than an empty grave and marker, the swing and tree were chosen as tribute to young J.D. (for Jethro Dixon) by some of the couple's cou-ple's friends. The idea, according to Susan Dixon, originally came from two of Susan's fellow nurses at the Snow Creek Emergency and Medical Center, Victoria Davis and Kate Siddyment. "We wanted sort of a monument in Park City where other parents who have lost children can hopefully hope-fully go and find some comfort," said Dixon. "It was awful" Dixon said of losing los-ing J.D., "hopefully, we're making something maybe positive out of the experience." Little J.D. was a source of joy for not only the Dixons, who had been trying to have a baby for about a year before Susan became pregnant, but for the family's friends as well especially Susan's co-workers, with whom she is very close. "They are the most beautiful, wonderful people." Davis said of the Dixons. "They certainly deserve to be parents. And he was just a beautiful beau-tiful little boy." Davis got to see the youngster through ultrasound readings. read-ings. He was nicknamed Jethro because he had large feet for such a little tyke (a natural given his daddy's size-14s). When the Dixons baptized the child into the Mormon Church following his death, they formally for-mally gave him the nickname they had come to know him by affectionately. affection-ately. Davis and Siddyment took up a collection after J.D. died in May. from complications resulting from the umbilical cord becoming wound around his neck. More than $1 .(XX) was raised, which was used for the swing, the tree, matching plaques that memorialize Jethro Dixon, and a contribution to St. Marks Hospital in J.D. s name. "We've had such great support." said Dixon. "You don't know how strong your support system is until you need it. We are so grateful." She said the couple will try again to become parents when the memory of Jethro begins to fade. Davis said she hopes others will take the example of J.D.'s friends and erect similar memorials that can be enjoyed by all. In the meantime. Davis hopes visitors to the cemetery can "just sit in the swing and look at the mountains, and find some peace." 1""" -"" -"' '' i i PUIM I 11111 UfW ! ..

Snyderville Basin debate continues; Commissioners address city forum by Jay Hamburger OF THE RECORD STAFF The Snyderville Basin is many things. World-renowned resort area. Growing bedroom community for the host city of the 2002 Winter Games. The destination of multitudes multi-tudes looking to permanently settle set-tle in the clear air of the mountains. moun-tains. But what will the future bring to this popular area, and how do the governments of the Basin have to plan for that future? Those were a few of the topics addressed by Snyderville Basin Planning Commission Chairman Max Greenhalgh, Summit County Director of Community Development Doug Dotson and Donna Van Buren of the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission Thursday night during dur-ing a forum hosted by Citizens Allied for Responsible Growth (CARG). "Recreation, preservation and open space," said Greenhalgh, "are the priorities in a mountain community." Dotson used most of the two-hour two-hour forum to present an overview of the revised Snyderville Basin General Plan, a 139-page document that will be presented to the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission at a meeting meet-ing scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24 at Burns Fire Station, 730 Bitner Road, Park City. "We know the Snyderville Basin is going to change . . . We can't stop that. This plan establishes establish-es a vision of the Snyderville Basin for the next 20 years," Dotson said. Although CARG member Dana Williams was disappointed at the turnout of Thursday night's forum, he praised the speakers for attending and said CARG would support the new plan. "I'm really impressed that public input is important to them." Williams said. If adopted, the plan will revise the original 1992 General Plan by creating, among other things, a development potential matrix that will allow for more growth in the Basin if developers include community com-munity amenities such as recreation recre-ation facilities in their projects.

Children left with incorrect bites will only worsen wors-en with time. Clinical research shows greater response is achieved by treating children early so many problems can be eliminated. It is estimated esti-mated 60 of children have some form of bite problem. If these children are treated early (Before age 12), the facial structures can be guided as they grow. This not only saves time but also money. I usually recommend a two phase orthodontic treatment. Phase 1 - An appliance is placed to guide growth pattern (Orthopedics). Phase 2 - Braces are placed (Orthodontics). Your child's individual needs can be discussed by calling for a free consultation & evaluation. Dr. Kenneth W. Kovanda Dr. Bengt J. Jonsson, D.D.S.
