Show Wrecker Paradox - , t - It is likely that the city will consider alternative towing services ser-vices to replace Cliffs. We hope, however, that the city will take measures to ensure that another eyesore will not crop up as a result of the wrecking service to the city. We recommend, recom-mend, for example, that auto storage lots be restricted to areas that will not threaten the aesthetics of the community ano adjacent property values. Areas close to the existing city dump should be considered first. If other locations are, selected we hope the city (or county if in the unincorporated area) will require re-quire screening around the yard to keep it from sight. It seems that the city through its zoning powers and its contract with the towers holds the key to safeguarding our environment from unsightly junked car lots. We urge the city to use that key. By Max Greenhalgh It's a paradox. The gateway , to one of the state's truely scenic areas and no . doubt its largest . Winter Resort is cluttered with junk. - Fortunately, however, the eyesore eye-sore at Kimball's Junction is about to be cleaned up. Cliff Read, proprietor of the junked car lot at the junction, plans to go out of business. According to Read, complaints com-plaints from the community regarding the unsightly appearance appear-ance Of his auto storage yard and recent confrontations with city officials over towing fees played a major role in his decision to . retire from the, wrecking business. Cliff has already begun clean up operations opera-tions and hopes to have the yard vacated of junk by Spring when he plans to construct a motel at the site. The demise of Cliffs Service will be a great boon to the appearance of Kimball's Junction Junc-tion and the overall image of the entire community. This solution, solu-tion, however, leaves Park City officials bereft of a service they have relied upon to remove illegally parked cars which hamper snow plowing opera tions and create traffic problems during the ski season. |
