Show Dearden., Ivers Appointed to County Planning Commission - 3 f V : -' ( xV i - J -. 1 '- . ... if I :': ' " The Summit County Board of Commissioners appointed two Park City residents Tuesday to fill vanancies on the county Planning Commission. Donna Dearden, manager of the Park City branch of First Security bank, and local Realtor Mike Ivers were appointed to three year terms, filling the two seats on the seven member board being vacated by Bill McComb and Chairman Al Cooper. Dearden told the Record she thought the position would be "challenging." Although she said she needed time to study the position, she said she hoped to "look for things that would be a benefit to the entire county." Ivers was unavailable for comment. McComb indicated last month he would resign from the Commission as soon as a replacement was found because of potential conflict of interest. McComb told the Record his real estate firm, Capson, Morris and McComb, was planning to become more involved in property outside the city limits under county jurisdiction because "it's the only place to go." "I talked with property owners and realized it was a direct conflict of interest to solicit their, business and then tell them I'm a Planning Commission member," said McComb. "Every time something on this end of the county came up, I was going to have to beg off." He said he was pleased with his year's tenure on the commission and "felt pretty happy" with the new county zoning ordinances New County Planning Commissioner Donna Dearden and land use plan adopted during his tenure. "I felt strongly that we needed them," he said. Al Cooper's seat became open after he decided not to seek reappointment when his term expired in July, but he was also asked to stay on until a replacement was found. Cooper has served several terms on the Commission. The county planning commission commis-sion is currently considering many deelopments in, the Park City area, including the ambitious Canyon Rim Ranch project in Snyder-ville, two projects on Quarry Mountain just north of the Park City limits, and several large developments in the Kimball JunctionGorgoza area. |
