Show Commission Calls For Building Changes The Park City Planning Commision will not consider the construction of a retail building on a main intersection intersect-ion of Park City until developers change their plans to make the building more compatible with other city construction. The commission refused to approve the construction of a retail building on the southeast south-east corner of Utah 248 and Woodbine Way until developers devel-opers change the architecture architect-ure of the building. The building project was brought before the commission commis-sion at its March 11 meeting for its consideration of a permitted use in a genera! commercial zone but within the Frontage Protection Zone, but commissioners expressed more concern over the building's appearance. City Planner Bill Ligety told commissioners the developers de-velopers want to set back the building, which will be used as a furniture store and a general merchandise store, 5 feet rather than the required 75 feet. Commissioner Rusty Davidson Da-vidson said the building's facade doesn't have the flavor of Park City, and the commissioner Bill Mammen was concerned the building's signs would have an affect on the architecutre. "Il docs deserve close scrutiny." Ligety snid of the building because ol its location. Commissioner Greg Law-son Law-son suggested the builders change the style of the building's architecture to give it a better appearance. Pitched roofs, rather than the flat roof proposed, was one of the commissions suggestions. "I sense pitched roofs as what we also talked about as Park City's code," Lawson said, noting the commissions commis-sions policy is to encourage this type of architecture. "I'd feel better going with a Park City-type of architecture architect-ure rather than the cubical look." Commissioner Burnis Watts, who ended his term as chairman at the meeting, voiced agreements. He said he' was afraid the building would make the area look like an industrial park. A spokesman for the project told the commissioners, commission-ers, "We'll do the proverbial and go back to the drawing board." |
