Show yp WedThurFrl, May 8-10, 2002 The Park Record A-5 CITY CITY EDITOR: Jay Hamburger 649-9014 extl 1 1 citynewsparkrecord.com BEAT PCMR proposes workers' dorm Resort needs to fulfill obligation to provide affordable housing By JAY HAMBURGER Of the Record staff Upwards of 80 Park City Mountain Resort workers could be living in dorm-style housing 'on Munchkin Road in coming years. The resort is asking that Park City allow it to build 80 housing units and parking spots for its 'employees at 1375 Munchkin Road, which is just off Bonanza ' Drive. The resort now uses the site for parking and storage. The proposal calls for 80 270-, 270-, square-foot units. Each will i house one person and include a kitchenette. Two units will share . a bathroom. The project will include a lounge area and laundry laun-dry facilities. ' The resort is modeling the housing after university dorms, according to a submittal to the Park City Planning Department. About two-thirds of the building build-ing that now sits on the property will be demolished. The Planning Commission is scheduled to discuss the PCMR project during its work session on Wednesday, which starts at 5:30 p.m., and a public hearing is slated slat-ed for the commission's regular meeting, which starts at 6:30 p.m. The Wednesday discussion is considered a pre-application meeting, which allows commissioners commis-sioners to discuss whether the project complies with the General Plan, the document that outlines development within the city. Under a 1990s overall approval of the resort's base-area expansion, PCMR is required to provide employee housing. The current application coincides with the resort's plans to build a Four Seasons at the base area. "They are the employee housing hous-ing units for Park Gity Mountain Resort's Four Seasons," said Bruce Erickson, who is helping PCMR plan the project. "It's a shared commitment." Erickson is a member of the Planning Commission. He intends to recuse himself from his commissioner duties. Erickson was in the same situation as PCMR won its approvals for other portions of the expansion. He said PCMR has considered the site for the housing for years. "Munchkin has always been identified as where employee housing should go," he said. Erickson said the housing will not be offered to workers for free but rent will comply with the city's affordable-housing guide lines. The units will not be sold. Scott Loomis, head of Mountainlands Community Housing Trust, supports the location. loca-tion. "I think it's a good spot. It's close in, on the bus line. It's close to services that the employees need," he said, adding, "We're very supportive of that. .We've got, every year, starting October, November, thousands of people looking for housing." Loomis said the housing is such that workers can easily move in and out and, since it is close to a bus stop, the employees do not need vehicles. "This really fills a niche,". he said. Loomis said he does not expect serious opposition. If PCMR scraps the plan, it can make other arrangements to fulfill its employee-housing requirements, including working with Loomis' organization.
