Show i ( Low-income project switched to Deer Valley The Planning Commission last week unanimously approved ap-proved 51 low-income units to be built on a portion of a Deer Valley parcel reserved for 185 low-income units. The rental units originally were to be located in the Gaddis McNight low-income low-income project on the old city landfill east of Iron Horse Road. Developer Jim Gaddis relocated the units to Deer Valley after HUD denied government funding to the project, ruling it was in an inappropriate industrial in-dustrial area. Gaddis McNight Mc-Night had been given approval ap-proval for the project by the commission in March! Planner Bill Ligety said that if the commission liked the new project (called Snow Park) it should move quickly, and at least grant a conditional use permit. City Manager Arlene Loble, who has worked with City talks to county about joint landfill On the surface, garbage collection seems to be a simple process. Residents fill up trash bags and cans, move them out to the street for pick-up, the garbage truck hauls them away to the dump. But did you ever wonder just how much trash the dump can handle? Park City currently is leasing a 20-acre parcel of property from Noranda Mining Co. east of Prospector Square. In the nine or so years the city has been using it as a dump, it has filled in 15 of those acres. According to City Manager Arlene Loble, in three years, the remaining five acres will Open space ideas clash on Snowcreek "You take the high road and I'll take the low road," is the way Planning Director Bill Ligety might have put it. The Planning Comission began reviewing a project called Snowcreek proposed for the Hanley Ranch parcel, north of the junction of U-224 and U-248. The chief topic of conversation was, "Where to put the usable open space?" Ligety's "low road" idea is to create an open space corridor for jogging, walking and biking that would tie into the stream at the western edge of the property and flow north to the Windrift condos, the Saddle project and finally to the old sewer plant where the city has considered con-sidered creating a park. Snowcreek developer Bill Eddins took the high road. He demurred at the proposal, and offered instead in-stead to build a park on the hill to the east of the parcel. Eddins said the level hilltop park would get a lot of use, and could be reforested. Ligety however, said access to the hill was not easy. The city planner suggested the units be more tightly clustered. Snowcreek developers Eddins and Malcolm MacQuaid are proposing 155 townhouse units, 16 controlled-price KMI910 - DON McLEAN AND FRIENDS American 1'ie ' Vincent . . .

She said, he has until September to secure a grant for the project. But since it is part of the Deer Valley Planned Unit Development, it must be subjected to an Environmental Environmen-tal Impact Statement to get grant approval. The statement could take a year to assemble. Gaddis said he wouldn't use the Deer Valley land for any other type of housing, and declared he would consider con-sider building the project even if HUD did not give approval. ap-proval. "But I couldn't promise anything because of the financial situation now," he said. Deer Valley approved Gaddis' plans, which would supply 51 of 185 low-income units planned for the area. be used up. In anticipation of having to find a new landfill site, Loble said that this week the city began discussions with the county about a joint garbage dump site. She pointed out that most of the communities in Summit County are part of a special service district that was created for refuse collection. col-lection. A commercial collection col-lection service picks up the trash from the district and dumps it in a landfill in Henefer. Loble said the special district needs a more centrally cen-trally located landfill site, and Park City will be needing a new site soon.

Ligety also suggested simplifying the road cwinec-tions, cwinec-tions, and recommended a wide loop or cul-de-sac for . road system. Developers said the present system was necessary to allow the fire district access to the area. Volunteer fireman Tom Shellenberger, who attended the planning session as a representative of the City Council, told The Newspaper that in his personal opinion, Ligety's loop system could provide proper access. The parcel is an island of county property proposed for annexation. Ligety recommended RDM zoning for the area under 25, and Estate zoning for upper areas and slopes over 25. This could result, he reported, repor-ted, in a permitted use density den-sity of about 97 units, and a planned unit development of up to 167 units. Low Income Planned for 'Esther' In other action, Ligety told the Planning Commission last week about a tentative plan to place low-to- 7M94 Staff Planner Kevin Hooper said Snow Park would take up a majority of the land in the low-income parcel. Deer Valley developers would likely relocate many of their units to other areas, like Silver Park, according to Ligety. Hooper said the Gaddis project does not take up any of the open space reserved for the parcel. "It is a very workable, reasonable, idea," he said. Meanwhile, the original Gaddis project site was re-proposed re-proposed as 98 controlled sale units and re-christened as the Iron Horse Apartments. Apart-ments. Before, only 48 of the units were for sale. Discussion of the development develop-ment was postponed until city planners could get information in-formation on planned changes. "I don't know if 98 is the magic number," said Ligety, "but the project Monday, the city and county discussed working together on a joint landfill. The city manager said the county is looking at a piece of property they own near Silver Creek Junction. "The idea would be to create a landfill with a weigh station and proper conpac-tion," conpac-tion," Loble said. "It doesn't make sense for us to buy our own site and the county have one, and then double up on equipment." Loble said a tentative agreement would be that by January, a decision will be made about a joint site. If the site is not ready, the county temporarilv wmiM dump moderate incdme units in the Queen Esther project, a 14fc 1 unit project in Deer Valley. Phases 2 to 4 would contain 10 low-to-moderate units for sale or rent, subject to agreement with the city housing authority. Ligety proposed five units be built for Phase 2, three units for Phase 3 and two units for Phase 4. But he said the plan was flexible, and it might be Main Street building o.k.'d The Planning Commission unanimously approved plans for a five-level structure at 614 Main Street proposed by developer Harry Reed that features a front and back (facing Swede Alley) that would be split into two facades. Planner Bill Ligety noted suggestions, Reed had defined his window placement, redesigned re-designed a cornice on the redesigned a cornice on the building, and made other changes. He also proposed painting the north and south sides to match the facades.

The Snow Park project, said Hooper, would be located off the Deer Valley East Road, to the northeast of the base resort. He recommended approval on the condition that city staff review and approve a revised plan that would give more imaginative siting for the buildings and parking stalls. "The buildings are lined up too plainly at present," he noted. At the suggestion of Commissioner Burnis Watts, another condition con-dition said that commission approval was subject to a binding agreement on price with the city housing authority. Other conditions said modified building elevations, revised utility and drainage plans, and a landscaping plan must be approved. their refuse at Park City's site. Loble said whether or not an agreement is reached with the county, Park City's collection fees will go up. Currently, residents are charged $2 a month for trash pick-up, compared to $4.50 a month in the county. A fee schedule has yet to be set, but Loble predicted she would recommend that the City Council approve a raise to the county's level. If a special district that includes Park City is set up, Loble said the monthly billing bill-ing then would be handled by the county. possible to have 'the units together in an area adjacent to the 185 low-income units in the Deer Valley parcel. Ligety's report said that if the city and developer cannot can-not formulate an agreeable plan for the units for the second phase, the total units shall be reduced to 127. And the area equal to the removed units shall be given to open space in a new site plan. the modified facades, with two changes.

According to Reel's proposal, the building would have a restaurant, two floors of commercial space, and two floors of residential.
