Development Plans An overall view of Silver Springs was presented by Van Martin, an employe em-ploye of the J J. Johnson and Assoc. engineering firm which represented the developers. Martin noted that the project has been before the public and county officials of-ficials for 11 months as part of three public hearings and 18 public meetings. He then provided the following statistics on Silver Springs: 1.400 total acres -220 acres east of U-224, 1,180 acres west 614 acres slated for development 786 acres as "complete open space" 1.277 total living units (633 multi-family, multi-family, 644 single family) total density of .9 units per acre Martin said the project would be completed in seven phases over a 13-year 13-year period. "We feel this will be a positive example for development in the county," coun-ty," he commented. "It probably exceeds ex-ceeds 99 percent of development in the state of Utah." Opposition Koleman then delivered a prepared statement which consisted largely of a petition previously submitted. Saying he did not want to "air dirty laundry" for the media. Koleman omitted some paragraphs in the petition accusing county otficials of conflicts of interest. The petition listed nine major reasons for rejection of the Silver springs project. They were: 1. Population projections presented by the developers are understated. 2. Thirty-eight, not 10.4 acres, are needed for a school site based on the revised population projections. 3. The availability of water is "unclear." "un-clear." 4. Ten percent of the project site should be donated as public land. .j Approval would'' generate" -.,;,'ar;uer,IJark Meadows", along. V -224.'

The project would increase taxes for the entire county. 9. Approval would set an "overwhelming" "over-whelming" precendent for an "undesirable "un-desirable heavy concentration of housing." Koleman then presented the petition bearing 269 signatures to the commission com-mission accompanied by applause from the audience. Support Barbara Gurski then read a 17-point petition supporting Silver Springs. "This is the first time ever a decent presentation (of a development i has been made," she told the audience, "and we're knocking it down." Gurski's petition countered many ot Koleman's arguments in general terms ter-ms and cited the fairness of the county development code and the ability of the planning commission to judge the project. She contended the develop ment would provide overall benefits to the area and would enhance the quality of life. Too Many People? During a question-and-answer session, Martin and Greenhalgh fielded queries on many topics, including in-cluding water, sewer, fire protection, traffic impact, and taxes. Despite the far-ranging and sometimes technical aspects of the debate, the germ of the Silver Springs opposition appeared to be not so much "We can't handle this many people" but rather "We don't want this many people." At one point during the meeting. Audrey Stevens asked that Commissioner Com-missioner Bill Wallin be excluded from casting a vote on the zoning, sa;. mg he has sold water rights to the project developers. Wallin revealed after the meeting that he will not vote on Silver Springs, leaving the decision to Commissioners Alva Dearden and Dale Leavitt At the conclusion of the meting. Levitt referred to the guidelines for denying a zone request and said "no arbitrary decision" would be made. '"''"If they adhere to the zoning ordinance or-dinance our hands are pretty well tied." he commented. fi.Tmm.ammmri-.triJiiJL Hospital Not Being Demolished Bam Reading- Extra help Reading- Challenge French Language Arts Science 9am Math- Extra help Math- Challenge Spanish Drama Environmental Studies Citizens concerned that the historic Miners Hospital was in the process of befog razed caused a stop-work to be issued to owner Monty Gibson last Friday night.

According to Gibson, preparing the building to be jacked up and moved by Salt Lake City house mover Robert Wells "is a big project, a big procedure that will take at least 45 days."
