Landmark Inn may sprout at Kimball Junction in spring Kimball Junction may soon have itself some lodging, as the 103-room Landmark Inn is due to start construction next spring. Along with the 103 rooms, plans call for an indoor pool, a large lobby, a restaurant, and a small meeting room. But before it can be built it has two hurdles to clear. The first hurdle involves Kilby Road, the current frontage road adjacent to Interstate In-terstate 80. Since Kilby Road is so close to the interstate, state and county planners asked Landmark planners to not use it as the project's primary access. Instead they asked Landmark to build a road which will intersect inter-sect Utah Highway 224 approximately ap-proximately 250 feet south of Kilby Road. When the new road is completed, the state plans to abandon the portion of Kilby which fronts the Landmark property. Bruce Erickson, of J.J. Johnson & Associates, the engineers and land planners of Landmark, explained that the Utah Department of Transportation has approved ap-proved the planned road. Only the county approval is still needed. Erickson does not see any problem with that approval. But the question of open space may be another matter. mat-ter. County codes require that any commercial project must have at least 50 percent open space on its land. The Landmark Inn plan calls for 30 percent landscaped open space. The inn's developers, Otto Bohn Construction, and its architects, Prowswood Limited, maintain that the 50 percent requirement is economically unfeasible. But if the county doesn't agree, then it may require the additional open space to be taken from land allotted for the planned adjacent shopping area. In question, according to Erickson, would be over one acre of land. The Landmark Inn, said Erickson, will break ground in the spring of next year, and plans to be ready for business by December. It will have what Erickson called a "natural materials (wood) contemporary" design. A Best Western franchise fran-chise has been obtained. The Inn is the second part of the total Landmark project. The Powderwood condominium community was first. In all, Landmark will be a $200-million project on 96 acres. It will hold, in addition to the Landmark Inn and Powderwood, a 560,000-square-foot shopping mall, restaurants, theaters, and a Holy Cross hospital. Owners and developers of the total project are Landmark Land-mark Plaza Associates of Salt Lake.
