J reality by JACK FORISKA Record staff writer "Meetings were very constructive and we anticipate agreements will be signed within the next 10 days," said Cris Schulz, Summit County commission administrative assistant assis-tant Schulz traveled to Los Angeles and Sacramento, July 19 and 20, where he met with representatives of the Security Pacific Bank, title holders, and the new contract holders of the Sun Peak property whom he declined to name in order to finalize property agreements for the Olympic Winter Sports Park in Summit County. The Sun Peak Property, 1036 acres located approximately two miles south of Kimball Junction, was Summit Sum-mit County's first choice for the site of the proposed sports park included in the county's Olympic bid package. Schulz told the Record that the county has been working with the Sun Peak property owners to develop something that would be mutually beneficial to their long range project and the county's plans for the sports park. The county had wanted to access the sports park through property that belonged to Paul Buehner, owner of the Hi-Ute ranch. However, talks with Buehner have been the major stumbling block to the county's plans. "We're still talking to the Buehner's," Schulz said, "but they have informed the county that they have serious reservations about transferring any property to the county." However, the county no longer needs the Buehner property for access ac-cess says Schulz, access will go through the Sun Peak land and all venues will be located there. The acreage was designated for residentialhotelcommercial under the original master plan and approved approv-ed for 5,500 units by the planning commission but the new contract holders are aware of the current controversy concerning building in the Snyderville Basin according to Schulz. "The new owners would like to substantially reduce those units to something more compatible to surrounding sur-rounding development; he said. CornH sequently, the developers-were able --: to reach an agreement with Schulz that will not conflict with their long range plans and would allow the county to access and locate the sports park entirely at Sun Peak. pSchulz said he had talked to the Sports Authority and the division of facilities and management by phone since his return. "The Sports Authority feels very good about the proposed direction and timing of land acquisition and is prepared to go forward with design and engineering so they can commence construction in the spring of 1991," he said. Schulz also said the International Sports Federation indicated a great deal of enthusiasm and believes the park will become a premiere sport site for international competition as . well as amatuer training. Black Diamond gets bonds "Make no bones about it. We want Black Diamond here badly." said Cris Schulz, Summit County commission com-mission administrative assistant, "They would make ah excellent addition ad-dition to the Park City community." The county has been Working with Black Diamond representative, Peter Metcalf, to iron out any wrinkles that may1 be hindering the' ' company from relocating to the Silver Creek Commerce Center. ' ' "They gave us their wish list, and we did our best to grant it," said Schulz, referring to a letter the county coun-ty sent to the company in earty Julyi in answer to their requests. Accor-: ding to Schulz, the company ' had been doing their homework with their design and they were1 not coming com-ing in here asking for the moon. Bringing Black Diamond is not entirely en-tirely a Summit County' effort says Schulz, because they are asking for assistance from the Stale with bonds and from Utah Power and Light with moving costs. The State has endorsed endors-ed the project and approved government govern-ment bonds for the project. The bond underwriter has said if Black Diamond is able to submit a letter of credit the will underwrite the bonds. Currently, this is the main wrinkle that'needs to be press-1 . ed. Black Diamorid has only been in business for a year and getting a letter let-ter of credit will not be as easy as it would.be for a more established company says Schulz. They do have options in this area, and the county does not foresee any major obstacles in Black Dianond getting the letter of credit. A , , "This is their number one choice for relocation," Schulz said, "and barring any catastrophic occurences, oc-curences, they will be here and in operation by July 1, 1991." . .. . .
