This proposed development is a 12 building office complex referred to as the Cottonwood Corporate Complex. The impacts of the project have not been adequately addressed and relayed to the local communities. Such concerns as auto traffic patterns, wildlife disruption, and the actual need for the entire office complex still need to be resolved, according to one Save our Canyons spokesperson. They cite that the community has been promised time and time again from developers in the area that the issue of trail corridors will be meet during the building process. On the adjacent projects such as the Mill Hollow subdivision, Chris McCanless, of Mansell, promised that his project would have moneys set aside for the development of a small park and walking trails. This has yet to be accomplished and the same rhetoric is now being aired as a selling point for the Cottonwood Corporate project. Additionally the community councils of Hillsdale and Cottonwood have both voted against the development and have cited that the current Master Plans used in approving development for the Cottonwood/Holiday region are more than 7 years old. They are to be reviewed every five years in order to remain up to date. Salt Lake Regional Trails Members have stated that the actual need for trail miles is lacking in the area, take note the impacts upon Mill © Creek Canyon. As wellthat the recent building of both the Healthrider and the | new office towers at Fort Union are currently not at full corporate capacity and until they reach that point no further building should be permitted at the Cottonwood Corporate site. This is critical open space, a rare commodity along the Wasatch and a foresightful campaign to preserve it as such is need for current residents and the future generations. They and others are seeking a building moratorium and propose that a large regional park along with trail links be created at this site. In the end 8 miles of trail with links to Wasatch Blvd., the Cottonbottom and along 7000 south are proposed on the Salt Lake County’s Recreational Master Plan. The facility would rival Sugarhouse park in size and complement the new golf course to be built in the region. The protestors hope that this doesn’t culminate to a lengthy legal battle, but are willing to take that stance if need be. The vocal supporters of this project, cite the recent developments of the Bonneville Shoreline project’s expansion to bridge I-80 as a positive vote of confidence in the area of trails development along the Wasatch front. They are seeking the same sort of community support that | carried the Parley’s crossing project, for the Trails of Cottonwood.
