Eventually there will be 99 deluxe homes high above Park City and probably about half as many condos as well. The development is called the Aerie, which means a nest where eagles perch.

"It's another world up there it's extraordinary," exudes Aerie marketing director Bill Kranstover. The project's general partner, part-ner, Mike Troup, echoes, "The view is our big selling point. It's a one of a kind thing in Park City. The only possible comparison might be American Flag at Deer Valley. "We intend to make it the finest subdivision in the In-termountain In-termountain West," Troup continues. "It's probably the nicest thing that's happened to Park City since Deer Valley." Aspenization "Besides the spectacular view, we have an excellent location in terms of access to local facilities. We're right in the middle of everything. It's about a five to seven minute drive to any of the ski resorts." Troup sees the development develop-ment of such projects as an ongoing Drofpss of nrnorpss Mie terms "the Aspenization of Fark City" adding "we're gearing up for it." He predicts that Park City is on the verge of gaining substantial national recognition. "Park City has been a hidden secret. We're 'going to get a national credibility like Aspen or Vail." But for the present, Park City is still Park City and the Aerie is a concept, not a concrete con-crete subdivision. "We're waiting on the highway," says Troup, in reference to the long-delayed long-delayed belt route which will slice its way across Masonic Hill below the Aerie. The highway delay is just the latest in a history of setbacks set-backs that have plagued would-be developers of Masonic Hill. A little less than ten years ago, the concept originated with Elwood Nielsen. But after af-ter buying the land and laying out the plots, Nielsen had trouble convincing local government officials to" let him proceed. A major point of concern was access to the development Nielsen's plans for roadways into the area were less than adequate in the eyes of some city planners. Nielsen decided to take matters into his own hands and proceeded to star digging up the hill with A bulldozer. The city took legal action to stop him. He sued for several million dollars. And the idea of a development develop-ment on Masonic Hill was put on the back burner for years. Conciliatory At the start of the '80s, Seniors to debate legislative issues The Utah State Coalition of Senior Citizens along with Emma Ruggles from Park City are sponsoring a senior's issues meeting at 6 p.m. Jan. 17,. 1983 at the Senior Citizen Center, 1361 Norfolk Ave., Park City. To be discussed are issues that will be coming before the 1983 Utah Legislature. Legislative proposals to limit Medicaid by placing liens on property, investigation in-vestigation of bank assets and co-payment are issues that have been getting angry responses at other meetings. Other proposals to be discussed are utility concerns such as creating an elected Public Service Commission, Com-mission, and imposing a severance tax. Seniors attending the meeting will learn about the legislative process: how a bill is introduced from moves through the Senate and House of Representatives. Represen-tatives. Those interested in learning more about the-issues the-issues and the legislative process and would like an opportunity op-portunity to meet with their own legislator, are invited to attend Citizens' Day at the Legislature, sponsored by Utah Issues, to be held Jan. 26 from 9:30 to 2 p.m. in the State Capitol. Nielsen's land and plans were bought out by more conciliatory interests. And the mood of the city officials had changed as well. According to Troup, "We have a great working relationship with the city. They've been super to work with the last couple of years. There's been nothing but cooperation on both sides. We've entered into a joint project with the city for a million gallon water tank which will benefit the town in general as well as the Aerie. In so doing, we're helping out the city a bit," Troup assesses. "We know we have to work hand in hand with the city," he says, adding that construction con-struction of the water tank will begin in the near future. There are still a few final touches to put on the development itself. "By July we should be totally in place," says Troup. Among final construction details to be attended to once the weather breaks next spring will be installation of guardhouses to monitor incoming in-coming traffic into the Aerie. "The fact that the development has private roads has proven very attractive at-tractive to potential clients. Security is a big selling doing. People like exclusivity ex-clusivity and protection," says Troup. Among other selling points are the planned tennis courts and swimming pool. But the big draw, of course, is the stunning view. "The way we're approaching ap-proaching the area is to protect every homeowner's view," says Kranstover. "We don't sell by square footage but according to view corridors." Lots are priced accordingly. accord-ingly. The smallest, for example, are 12,500 square feet. But those range in price from $165,000 to $190,000 depending depen-ding on where they are and how much you can see. Likewise, one of the largest lots available over 60,000 square feet-sells for $220,000, not much more than the smallest. Of the 99 lots available, sixteen have already been sold. Troup expects that most of the owners will put homes in soon, all in the $500,000 to $750,000 price range. Kicking the tires "I think most of the people who buy lots at the Aerie will live there. We don't expect to see much speculation buying. The market's been bad, which discourages speculators," he says, adding ad-ding that "the market is getting get-ting better in general in the past few months. Last year they weren't even out there kicking the tires. This year, we're real excited. We've got people out there shopping. The single family market looks good. We think we're in good shape." The Aerie is . being marketed through all the realty agents in town. A short promotional film can be seen at Capson, Morris and McComb's headquarters on Park Avenue. "We can do all the ads in the world, but exposure and word of mouth is what will really sell," claims marketing specialist Kranstover Kran-stover who did take the time to oversee a local ad campaign cam-paign centered around the motto "Quality is remembered remem-bered long after price is forgotten." Apprehensive Despite their enthusiasm over the Aerie, both Troup and Kranstover are mildy apprehensive over the community's com-munity's reaction to the project once construction of homes begins on a large scale. Says Troup, "We want to keep the Aerie as unobtrusive unob-trusive as possible. We want to maintain a strong aesthetic sense." Kranstover admits, "We will inevitably take some guff because of the cuts in the hill. But we're taking extreme ex-treme care to minimize the problem. We have done some elaborate terracing. And we will be covering up all the cuts with natural grasses and large groves of Aspen trees. Our revegetation will be very extensive." ex-tensive." Troup chips in, "We have done everything possible to mitigate the impact on the ridge. For instance, our architectural ar-chitectural overseeing committee has much stricter standards than those dictated dic-tated by the city." Design standards The architectural committee commit-tee Troup refers to will be charged with overseeing construction design for all homes in the Aerie. The basis for their decisions are already clearly laid out in a detailed booklet which notes that "residents of the Aerie are free to choose the dwelling design and designer the architecture architec-ture in which they feel most comfortable." But "design standards are subject to review by the board ... Compliance and sensitivity to the overall aesthetic appearance takes precedence over the individual's in-dividual's rights or desire to be noticed at the expense of anyone else." Among the explicit codes contained in the bulky "Design Guildlines" are such dictates as "vehicles will be respectfully hidden, obstructions out of view." The guidelines also dictate such construction matters as roof slope, lighting, exterior building materials ("natural materials in earthtone colors") and types of plants and flowers to blend with the natural setting. "It's all part of our plan to maintain the integrity of the area," says Troup.
