Show A-4 Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, March 4-7, 2017 The Park Record Fire damages a Main Street building Relax Cigarette butts in blamed Easy receptacle for the blaze Buying or Selling a Home is butts. It was on a deck just outside the front of the restaurant. Simister said so many cigarette butts were deposited in the receptacle that they combusted. The fire melted through the receptacle and ignited the building walls at a corner. The flames spread up to 10 feet high and 2 feet wide, Simister said. A Bistro 412 employee discovered the fire when he arrived at work. Simister said a surveillance camera at Bistro 412 recorded the fire. He said the footage showed smoke starting at 1:50 a.m. and then flames several hours later. The Park City Fire District quickly extinguished the fire. He said a small part of the fire extended into the front entry of Bistro 412. Firefighters cut open a small area in the interior ceiling of Bistro 412 to extinguish a hotspot. Damage is estimated at approximately $10,000, he said. Nobody was injured. Simister said soot and smoke from the fire reached the nearby O.C. Tanner building. It was not damaged. The Bistro 412 owner, Steve McComb, said a prep cook called the authorities when he saw and smelled the smoke. McComb said crews in the middle of the week continued to repair the damage. He said an interior post that firefighters cut with a chainsaw must be replaced. Drywall work, insulation work and painting is also needed, he said. Bistro 412 reopened for dinner on Thursday. “It was all pretty much superficial,” McComb said about the damage. Emergency crews, meanwhile, responded to a small fire at Collie’s Sports Bar & Grill on Tuesday at a little bit after 2 p.m. The Police Department said the fire was confined to a smoker used for cooking. Collie’s Sports Bar & Grill, on lower Main Street, said the incident did not require a closure. In another case, logged on Sunday, the Police Department said a fire was reported on a dining table in a condominium on Amber Road. The police said tenants accidentally started the fire. Continued from A-3 of year. Beerman also highlighted that Sundance agreed to move dates slightly during years when the festival would conflict with the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, which is typically a busy three-day weekend for the ski industry. The discussion on Tuesday provided evidence that the concerns about Sundance this year will extend longer into the year than is usual. It could also signal that rankand-file Parkites may be more interested in the talks between City Hall and Sundance this year. The municipal government and Sundance recap the festival annually and oftentimes make operational tweaks in the months before January. An access-pass system, even a limited one, would be one of the most significant changes to City Hall’s overall Sundance plans in years. Sundance was not represented at the Coffee with Council event. High-ranking Sundance staffers are anticipated to attend the City Council meeting on Thursday. Beerman said Sundance has been a “good partner” with City Hall. Some of the other topics brought up at the Coffee with Council included: • Beerman discussing City Hall’s parking and transportation systems, saying a satellite parking lot and bus lanes are important to the overall plans. He said dynamic prices for parking could be introduced in the Main Street core in the next year that set the cost higher during busier times. • Matsumoto also addressing transportation, telling the audience traffic along S.R. 248 will increase as a result of growth in Summit County and Wasatch County. She said officials want to intercept drivers via a satellite parking lot and dedicate a lane for buses. • Beerman saying City Hall is considering creating a position that would serve as a housing guru. He did not provide details, but housing is one of the municipal government’s priorities. City Hall holds ambitious plans to develop housing along the lower Park Avenue corridor, as an example. • Matsumoto recalling the parking and transportation plan that was designed for the 2002 Winter Olympics, which relied on large satellite parking lots, vastly increased bus service and a Games-long traffic closure on Main Street. She said Park City events have grown to the point similar measures could be considered.

Investigators traced the fire to a cigarette receptacle on a deck just outside the front of the restaurant. Festival addressed YourParkCityAgent.com WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING “I have used Sheila Hall for buying and selling properties. She has been the consummate professional every time. She always has time for me and all my questions. She has offered many options that I would have never thought of. She thinks outside the box and has never let me down. I would recommend her to anyone.” -Zillow it appears, could focus on the possibility of introducing some sort of access-pass system that would restrict traffic in Old Town during Sundance. City Hall has long used a similar system during the Park City Kimball Arts Festival in the summer. Matsumoto and Beerman both mentioned the possibility of restricting vehicle access. Neither provided details, though. An audience member asked the two City Councilors about the prospects of shifting the film festival to another time of the year, perhaps the summer, when the impacts would not be expected to be as pronounced. Beerman explained that Sundance desires its January position on the global circuit of film festivals and has expressed it does not intend to shift to another time SH E I L A HA L L branch broker 435.640.7162 | sheila@sheilahall.com 1700 Park Avenue | Park City, Utah 84060 © 2016 BHH Affiliates, LLC.
