Show Free Press - Wednesday, April County to hear Snowbird proposal By BEKY BEATON The Utah County Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, April 22 at 5:30 p.m. in the Commission chambers to take comment on a proposed zone text change that would allow limited ski operations in a Critical Environment 1 zone. The language of the proposed change would allow expansion of existing ski resorts in CE-- zones, which allow the full range of resort activities, into adjoining parcels of CE-- 1 land but would restrict the activities allowed in the CE-- 1 zone to skiing and snowboarding runs and lifts, avalanche control, food sale facilities and warming facilities. These are not currently in a permitted CE-- 1 zone. . Snowbird, Alta and Sundance resorts all own CE-- 1 land adjacent to their developed areas. At this has Snowbird time. only announced plans to expand their facilities this way. The land they would like to use is at the top of Mineral Basin in American Fork Canyon. Resort officials have pursued the zone text change as a first step in realizing their expansion plans. The resort is only an interested party; they have no specific proposal before the county at this time. The zone text change currently under consideration would still not allow any kind of lodging, food 2 preparation facilities, parking, public access roads or any similar resort infrastructure in the CE-1 zone. In addition, even if the zone text change is approved, a resort would still have to submit a specific proposal through the Planning Commission to the County Commission for the normal development approval process. The process includes requiring the submission of environmental and economic impact reports. After several hearings and debates on the matter, the Planning Commission forwarded the zone text change to the County Commission with a recommenda-- ' tion for approval.

She recently sent a flyer in the city utility bills looking for areas of interest in the arts as well as looking for people who are interested in serving as volunteers. Some of the programs for the future include a community band and continuing with the Arts in the Park concert series started by previous Arts Council officials, although the latter will likely be on Monday evenings this summer instead of Sunday evenings. Other projects might include youth theater and youth choir programs, as well as summer workshops for children. "Our philosophy is to build up what's there and create some more opportunities so everyone can participate," she said. "Those opportunities are whal our kids deserve. We have to find those and give them to them. There is a lot of talent out there in our young people."
