THE THAYNES CANYON TEA PARTY In the year 2176, Marsac school children will be committing to memory the events which culminated in the historic Thaynes Canyon Tea Party. They will read of the South Summit ship loaded with tea from the land of Kamas, which was set upon by patriotic Thaynes Canyon residents. The foreign ship docked in the harbor (which was created by a malfunctioning golf pourse sprinkler) was a symbol of an oppressive condition which the valiant Thaynesians could no longer en- At a meeting void of the usual vocal fireworks, the Park City Planning Commission refused Interstate Rental, Inc. permission to park rental snowmobiles on Main Street. Find Another Place Mr. Ken Norton, representing Interstate Rental at the October 9th meeting, ap- dure. Taxation without representation! was their battle cry; history and logic wore their weapons as they ceremoniously dumped the Kamas tea into the 17th hole water hazard. Such legendary phrases as I regret that I have but one child to keep from your school system and Dont fire until you see the yellow of their school buses" were born in this time of turmoil and upheaval. But what combination of circumstance could possibly have ignited such drastic actions the inquisitive children will ask. The answer will be contained between the covers of their history books. The history books will show that in the year 1974, the Land of Thaynes was faced by one of the most perplexing and illogical situations ever perpetrated on a community. As will be recorded in the annals of time, the Thaynesians were forced to pay taxes to one school district and compelled by proximity to send their children to the schools of another district. The former school district was that of South Summit and the latter was that of Park City. Adding murkiness to an already unfathomable predicament, the Land of Thaynes was claimed by the Kamas heads of state although it was included within the corporate limits of Park City. The events which created this situation are even more ancient history but suffice it to say that around the year 1912 decrees from the only known heaven of the time, Salt Lake City, proclaimed that Park City, blessed with rich mineral deposits, should relinquish surrounding territory from its school district in a very peculiar fashion so as to aid its needy brother, South Summit. As the years passed by, pioneers from metropolitan areas throughout the nation began to settle in what was known as Thaynes Canyon, a previously uninhabited land. The new settlers prospered and their taxes increased correspondingly. Now because the Park City schools were so close, Thaynesians sent their offspring there rather than have the young ones travel by bus to faraway Kamas. However, the Thaynesian tax dollar traveled to the powers of South Summit. Being a somewhat illogical people, South Summites could not understand why they should surrender money given to them to educate children who did not attend their schools. Not only did the Thaynesians have to pay for educations their progeny were not receiving, they had no say in the administration of either the South Summit School District or the Park City School District. Some intelligent child of 2176 is bound to ask why the Thaynesians did not seek the aid of their master, the State Legislature. The books will show that admittance to the master was prevented by an despicable monster which was feared throughout the land. The monster was called Consolidation. It was a fact that every time Thaynesians dared to whisper a complaint, Consolidation would rear its ugly head and cower the poor Thaynesians causing them to abandon hopes of receiving succor. In time, their frustration became intolerable and the Thaynes Canyon Tea Party was the result. It became symbolic of the plight of oppressed peoples everywhere. It is hoped that this page of history will have a happy ending. Optimistically, future history buffs will read how the monster was slain and the Thaynesians were freed from their bondage by their master. The reader will learn that Thaynesians were no longer required to pay for educations their children were not receiving and that they were given a voice on the Park City School Board. This is indeed a happy ending, but is it a real one?

The firm had planned to park rental automobiles and peared snowmobiles on the vacant lot across from Days Market. Chairman John Strand noted that automobile agencies and automobile rental companies are not authorized to operate on Main Street. Councilman Jan Wilking referred to the assurances that no vehicles would be parked on Main Street" in relation to various approvals which had been previously granted Interstate Rental, Inc. The Commission voted to deny issuance of the con- ditional use permit and business license on the basis of objections to vehicle parking cm Main Street. Mr. Norton received the decision calmly and asked for suggestions pertaining to possible alternate locations for his vehicles. No recom- mendations were im- mediately forthcoming. Housing Subdivision Mr. Jim Fahs presented the Planning Commission with preliminary plans for a housing subdivision. The subdivision is to be located on 30 acres of land in the Holiday Ranch development. The acreage, which has been purchased from the Greater Park City Company, will be divided into 103 lots. Mr. Fahs described the project as cluster housing" which would be built around cul de sacs. He said lots would be sold separately if a customer so desired, but that his group would stress sales on the basis of a package. Construction is slated to commence next April, depending on the volume of presales and pending the completion of necessary administrative actions. It is projected that the subdivision can be completed by the end of next summer. vraej OARmpQ PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED Pharmacist on Duty Monday - Saturday 10 a.m. -- 2 p.m. Chairman Strand cited possible zoning problems and said the housing development looks fine but there are a number of administrative Iteps to go through before we can even begin to consider a conditional use permit. Councilman Wilking suggested that the proposed should development be discussed by the Master Plan Committee before Mr. Fahs approaches either the Planning Commission or the City Council for plan approval. Mr. Fahs expressed his desire to meet the Master Plan Committee to insure compatibility with emerging zoning. Mr. Fahs also mentioned that he would probably apply for a conditional use permit for the Eley Garage for lease as commercial space. The Planning Commission. Outlook for Health Club Unhealthy Zoning administrator Glen Smith reported that a survey of the parking available on the Cest Bon Hotel property revealed that room for 33 spaces existed. Ample parking at the C'est Bon was a prerequisite for licensing the Park City Health Club. If the Cest Bon were governed by existing ordinances, which it is not, 50 parking spaces would be required for the hotel alone. Given this circumstance, the prospects of the proposed health club may be diagnosed as unhealthy. Business Licenses and Cond-thm- al Use Permits The Commission approved business licenses and con- ditional use permits for Scott Nelson Photography, Inc.", Dick and Salye Stein's Treasure Mountain Gallery", and Jim, Diane, and Mike Doilneys The Corner Store". The Doilneys also received a sign permit. All of these businesses will be located in the Treasure Mountain Village complex at the Resort. A sign permit was also granted to Park City Gifts and Souvenirs owned by Bud Gasparac. Mr. James Wolfe represen- ted National Ski I.D. Corporation at the meeting. Mr. Wolfe stated that his company is a national computer service which is to be based in Park City. The business will concern itself with the identification of stolen skis and the tracing of legal owners and will work in with ski cooperation manufacturers and law enforcement agencies. The office is to be located at 1101 Park Avenue. Action on National I.D. was tabled the pending verification of adequate parking.
