With two months still to go in 1983, the valuation of issued building permits has already surpassed the total valuation for all of 1982. October's $4.1 million valuation put the 1983 total at $29.3 million, jumping ahead of the $25.7 million figure for 1982. Whereas September's permits reflected re-flected a strong surge in single-family homes with 12 permits issued, October was more typical of the year as a whole. Commercial buildings and duplex condominiums accounted for the majority of permit valuation. Three commercial building permits were issued, worth $1.7 million. Ron Ivie, Park City's chief building official, said much of that $1.7 million comes from the Silver Mill project whose permits are "phase issued" over time. The four duplexes which received permits had a value of $866,000. Ivie said those permits were for the Fireside Condominium project on Iron Horse Drive. Only three single-family home permits per-mits were given in October. Their value was $378,000. This was a sharp drop from the September single-family home value of $1.9 million. A total of 64 permits were issued last month, compared to 49 which were issued in October 1982. In sheer numbers of permits, the largest single area of work was in alterations and additions to dwellings and commercial buildings. Ivie said that amount of activity in that area is not unusual for this time of year. By the end of the year Ivie thinks $2 to $3 million in additional permits could have been issued. The Galleria project, to be built in the former location of the Kinderspo; could be a major contributor. Ivie said the Galleria has already received permits for demolition and excavation. He expects construction to start soon. Other possibilities, he said, include the proposed golf course hotel and the town lift. With the continuing favorable construction con-struction weather, the remainder of the year could be busy. But there is not; much of a chance of catching the boom year of 1981 when the total valuation almost hit $72 million. |
