Show Ruling is sour note for U-224 ski tuners The Bottoms Up Ski Tuning shop will not operate along Utah Highway 224 after af-ter this ski season. The Summit County Planning Commission Tuesday granted grant-ed the shop a permit to operate until April 30, but the permit will not be renewed. The commission does not want commercial development develop-ment along 224, said Assistant County Planner Jerry Smith. It was with reservations that they granted grant-ed the Bottoms Up permit, he said, but they fell it should not be considered a precedent. All seven members mem-bers were present for the unanimous decision. The shop has been operating this season from the Parry Nursery between Silver Springs and ParkWest on the west side of the highway. high-way. The nursery is classified as a "nonconforming "nonconfor-ming use" because it was established before the County Coun-ty Development Code of August 1977. Bottoms Up proprietor Brian Harrington acknowledged ack-nowledged he leased the space on the highway without a knowledge of county coun-ty code. He was ambivalent about the county's prohibition against commercial com-mercial development along the highway. "I think it's nice to maintain main-tain the agricultural flavor there, but times are changing." Subdivisions are coming into the area, he said, "though I don't necessarily agree with that." The ultimate solution, he said, will be to upgrade the road. For now, he said he is thankful that the shop was not ordered to shut down immediately. Harrington said he and associate David Scroggin will continue to operate the business. They will seek another site next year in the Park City area, he said. |
