Five conceptual development options will be on display at the Public Open Houses. These options represent a wide range of options including density reduction, density transfer, open space acquisition, and other types of on- and off-site development and improvements. All community members are invited to attend and learn about these options and provide feedback. Park City staff and the Treasure Hill owners will be in attendance to answer questions. Feedback gathered at this meeting will be considered as both sides work to refine the concept plans. These are the first in a series of planned public meetings. The carcass of a fox was found in a yard in Park Meadows in late June, the Park City Police Department said, indicating that it appears that another animal might be responsible for the death. The police received the report at approximately 4:30 p.m. on June 22 from the 1100 block of Lucky John Drive. Rick Ryan, a police captain, said the carcass had started to decompose by the • Continued from A-3 Bonanza work starts most direct route from the East Side of Summit County and Wasatch County to Old Town, Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley Resort. Traffic backups can be terrible in the winter and there are regularly delays during the rest of the year. City Hall and the firms hired as part of the project are encouraging the businesses along Bonanza Drive to be time it was discovered. Ryan said the homeowner found the carcass six feet from the road and close to a garage. It had been moved to an empty lot across the street from where it was discovered by the time a police officer arrived, Ryan said. An officer disposed of the carcass. Ryan said the head had been separated from the rest of the body. He said he suspects another animal killed the fox and other animals fed on the carcass later. Ryan, though, did not discount the possibility that a driver hit the animal. "It doesn't look like it was inflicted by humans, or gutted by humans," Ryan said. He said dogs and larger house cats sometime attack foxes. The state wildlife official assigned to Summit County had not been briefed on the case by the middle of the week. Bruce Johnson, a conservation officer with the Division of Wildlife Resources, said similar cases are reported at a steady clip in Park City and surrounding Summit County. He said the fox might have died of natural causes and then scavengers fed on the carcass. Some of the animals that might feed on the carrion include another fox, raccoons, badgers, vultures, crows, magpies and birds of prey, Johnson said. aggressive as they seek cus- advanced significantly.
