  Jim Barth's departure creates another sought-after opening on panelby Jay Hamburger OF THE RECORD STAFF
  ...
  "Bottom line, 10 years is enough," Barth, 46, says, expecting to spend more time with his kids.
  
  Barth's and Sletten's terms were to expire in summer 2009, at the same time as the next City Council campaign starts.He says he "definitely" plans to run for the City Council in the next decade, but he is unsure when he will seek office.He does not provide specifics about campaign plans, including whether he would run in 2009, when two City Council seats -- now held by Jim Hier and Roger Harlan -- are on the ballot.
  
  Barth, an attorney and a real-estate broker who lives in Park Meadows, served on the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission before being appointed to the city panel in 2001.
  ...
  Barth says the field of Parkites seeking Sletten's old seat on the Planning Commission influenced him to leave the panel.He is impressed with the Parkites competing for the Planning Commission and says there are worthy replacements.
  
  "This is a heck of an opportunity.Maybe it's time to go," Barth says.
  ...
  Barth joined the Planning Commission as the fierce development battles of the 1990s were subsiding, but he held office for numerous tiffs and he played a role in major decisions.
  
  He talks about the deal between City Hall and the Empire Pass developers to build a Montage hotel on the slopes of Deer Valley Resort.Planning Commissioners, City Councilors and the developers spent months crafting an agreement for the Montage.Under the deal, the developers agreed to set aside from development vast acres of land in addition to other inducements in exchange for the additional building rights needed for the Montage.
  
  Barth says the Montage deal advances Park City's efforts to promote tourism and the hotel will generate lots of taxes for City Hall.
  
  "I've always worn it on my sleeve -- I'm a huge resort proponent," Barth says.
  
  He counts the Planning Commission approval of a hospital and medical campus at Quinn's Junction as another accomplishment.He cannot immediately identify a project that makes him unhappy.
  
  Barth expects the Planning Commission will face challenges regarding traffic and the long-planned expansion of development onto parking lots at Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley Resort.He sees the redevelopment of the North of Main district as a chance to address traffic.
  
  During his tenure, many Parkites continued to worry about growth, even as Park City's construction industry enjoyed record-setting years as contractors built projects approved by the Planning Commission.
  
  Barth says it is not fair for Parkites to portray the panel as pro-development, a common mumbling.He says Utah laws tightly protect landowners' rights.Many projects received overall approvals years ago and the current Planning Commission must abide by the earlier decisions, he says.
  
  "No, not even close," Barth says about the accusations against the Planning Commission of rubber-stamping developments.

  Park City Planning Commissioner Jim Barth said he rejected the idea altogether, since allowing one kind of exception would lead to others.
  
  "I don't like the slippery slope of it, so I'll go on record on being completely opposed to the idea," he said.

  Jim Barth, the chairman of the Planning Commission, said input that the commissioners have received thus far has been "pretty much positive comment" from people in the health-care fields like doctors and nurse practitioners.He said he is "surprised" with the lack of interest from regular Parkites.
  
  Barth said Parkites are perhaps confident that the government is proceeding correctly with the hospital talks and he notes that the land is separated from neighborhoods.
  
  "I think people act in their own self-interest," he said.
  
  But he cautions that Parkites should not ignore the talks given the magnitude of the proposed development.
  
  "It's a massive project, just massive," he said.

  It's going to go through the typical planning process," said Jim Barth, the non-voting chairman of the Planning Commission.
  ...
  Barth indicated that commissioners will likely discuss a series of topics regarding the project, most of which are issues in any significant development application.
  
  Architecture, open space and the design of the facility's parking will be issues that are discussed, he said.Barth also said the Planning Commission will weigh the traffic the project would generate, another commonly discussed topic.
