Councilman Stephen Sandstrom, a partner in the architectural ar-chitectural firm of Sandstrom & Madson, Inc., said the cost breakdowns break-downs on the estimates were "inadequate" "in-adequate" on dollar amounts. Building construction plans at the park include a 14,000-square 14,000-square foot central complex, a 1,000-square foot caretaker's house, and a 500-square foot stage pavilion at an outdoor amphitheater am-phitheater designed to seat 3,000-5,000. Estimates for the construction were calculated at $50 per square foot. Sandstrom said the going rate in the valley is now $80-85 a square foot. He said he could see the costs as doubling, and that the current bidding is inadequate. He said more detailed, up-to-date price estimates es-timates are needed. The city is looking at the park, to be built on land owned by the city in Provo Canyon, as the possible pos-sible future home of the Tim-panogos Tim-panogos Storytelling Festival. Festival representatives worked with the Recreation Advisory Commission on providing input into the conceptual design process. Plans also call for retaining walls, water features, a Utah Power & Light gains substation Utah Power & Light was granted a conditional use permit for its proposed Cherrywood Sub-station Sub-station at 1100 North State Street in Orem City Council action ac-tion taken October 25. Brad Whitaker, district manager for the company, and Terry Anderson, with the property proper-ty department of the district office, of-fice, represented Utah Power & Light at the meeting. Anderson explained that the site was chosen because an existing exist-ing transmission line already i goes across the lot, and the loca-j loca-j tion "fits well in the power grid for ' Orem City." "This substation can relieve other substations," Anderson Ander-son said. Anderson noted that the company com-pany has a "trade-off' arrangement arrange-ment with the proposed Beacon Hill apartment development that will share the area. The development develop-ment will have parking under the lines, and the power company will be provided with the access it needs for the station. Council passes The Orem City Council set three public hearings, passed two resolutions, and approved a property purchase agreement and a lot bond release in October 25 consent item actions. A public hearing for a rezone of Canyon Brook Deli at 1553 East 800 North was set for November 22, 1994, at 6:10 p.m. Two other public hearings, one for Cherapple Farms Subdivision at 1790 North Skyline Drive and one for a plat vacation and final plat for Stoffers Subdivision, were to have been considered in the November 1 meeting of the council. One resolution approved the final PRD for North Main Condominiums Con-dominiums at 900 North Main Street. A second resolution approved supporting the National League of Cities in the organization's recognition of "Unfunded Mandates Man-dates Week". The city and the league object to the "adverse impact im-pact on local governments by the federal government" in implementing im-plementing the mandates. Orem City currently spends $2 million annually to meet the requirements require-ments of various state and federal directives. After some discussion, the City lassos Golden Corral A Golden Corral Restaurant will be coming to Orem following rezone, site plan, and conditional use permit approval by the Orem City Council in its October 25 meeting. Project representative Alex Carr said the business will employ 120-150 people. The 11,000 square-foot restaurant res-taurant will be built along the com pedestrian underpass, ten picnic ; shelter units, and an eight-tent; site facility as well as the outdoor : amphitheater. Vegetation will in-: elude lawn area, wildflower. mixes, and trees and shrubs in an interpretive garden and through- out the park. Permanent parking is planned ; for 50-75 automobiles, with a; seasonal overflow provision for 500 . vehicles. Councilman Tim Christensen Chris-tensen noted the discrepancy between be-tween the number of parking spaces and the amphitheater seating seat-ing and wondered if people would park at the new hotel and be bused to the festival. Recreation Director , Jerry Ortiz said some discussion had been made concerning shuttling shut-tling patrons to the festival at the ' park site. Councilwoman Judy Bell termed the conceptual design for the park "beautiful", and said she wanted to go on record as saying that ten to fifteen years from now, Orem will be known for the storytelling festival. Mayor Stella Welsh asked if there would be some way to do part of the project not the whole -- while still accommodat-ing accommodat-ing the festival. Sandstrom-moved Sandstrom-moved for approval of the concept plan, and Councilman Kelvin Clayton added the provision that the city look into phasing the project in, with the first phase to accommodate the storytelling festival. fes-tival. Sandstrom accepted the amendment to his motion, and vote was unanimously in favor. Councilman Stephen Sandstrom brought up the inevitable in-evitable public concerns with electromagnetic fields related to such projects. Anderson said fields are measured in electrical units. Readings of from three to six units are picked up at stations, he said, and he estimated that the lights in the City Council Chambers Cham-bers were emitting approximately approximate-ly five such units. Council members expressed ; concern that the facility be properly landscaped and maintained. main-tained. Mayor Stella Welsh suggested sug-gested that shrubbery placed close to the walls of the facility might deter graffiti. With no protest or input from the audience, Councilwoman Judy Bell moved to approve the issuance of the permit, with an additional requirement that landscaping be coordinated with the Beacon Hill development. Sandstrom seconded.
