Wheaton was reported missing Monday morning. His truck and horse trailer were found near the trailhead and Wheaton was later spotted by someone in a search helicopter, Edmunds said. "He just kind of bedded down last night," Edmunds said. "We think his horse just became exhausted." Thanks to rescuers Back at work and with his horse safely stabled at home on Tuesday, Wheaton took time out to thank the search-and-rescue personnel who responded on Monday. "I've long been a fan and supporter of search-and-rescue volunteers but I never imagined I'd be on the receiving end. Now, seeing firsthand what was mobilized and how they handled it, I was extremely impressed and thankful," he said. Though Wheaton says he was never concerned about finding his way out of the forest, he knew people would be worried about him when he didn't return home Sunday night. "I knew eventually I'd get out.1' His immediate concern was for his horse who he said "tipped over twice" on the trail. "Sometimes horses don't perform on the schedule we want them to." Wheaton said that he was somewhat surprised to find a crowd of media at the trailhead when he emerged, but admits that he probably won't give up riding solo. "The stars were out and it was really quiet," he said. i • To subscribe please call (435} 649-9014 : or log on to www.parkrecord.com/5ub5criptions To report a missing paper, please call , (800)662-9076 ' To request a vacation hold, please call (435) 649-9014 or email circulation@parkrecord.com •..

A member of The Boyer Company team assigned to Park City Heights did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment. Phyllis Robinson, a City Hall spokeswoman whose background is in work force housing issues, also did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment. There has been only limited interest in the project from regular Parkites. Park City Heights is distant from any existing neighborhoods, meaning that it is conceivable there will be little if any neighbor resistance. But there could also be more interest in the talks from rankand-file Parkites than would be expected if The Boyer Company was the sole owner. City Hall's involvement in Park City Heights proved controversial when it was unveiled in late 2009. Under the terms of the agreement, City Hall paid $5.5 million for a 50 percent stake in The Boyer Company land, which encompasses most of the 286-acre site. The agreement with The Boyer Company is highly unusual for City Hall, which normally negotiates land deals with the private sector that are for conservation purposes instead of for their development prospects. The Planning Commission meeting is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. in the Park City Council chambers at the Marsac Building. The panel is slated to hold a hearing before possibly voting. Prior to the scheduled 6 p.m. start of the meeting, the Planning Commission is scheduled to visit the Park City Heights land. People who want to accompany the Planning Commission on the visit to the site should meet at the Talisker parking lot on Richardson Flat Road.
