Continued from A-1 Prices revealed There will be restrictions on the deeds that include a requirement that the owner must occupy the unit they own as a primary residence and appreciation is capped at 3 percent annually. The units may not be rented unless approved by City Hall under certain extenuating circumstances such as a military deployment. The municipal government will have the first right to acquire any unit that is resold. The restrictions are similar to those attached to other housing projects with City Hall involvement. Homeowner association fees are estimated at $200 per month at both of the projects. “It’s a start. We haven’t had any- Continued from A-1 Rescue card debuts any money generated by the new USARA card will be welcome. According to Siddoway, the county’s all-volunteer search and rescue team has never yet billed anyone for their services, but the costs mount up quickly and in outdoor recreation meccas like Summit and Grand counties they can take a big bite out of the budget. “The program is a good thing. If folks support it, the money will augment the fund we use for equipment and training. Our search and rescue department is 100 percent volunteer and I want to equip them the best we can,” Siddoway said. While the volunteers may be enjoying a brief off-season respite right now, Siddoway is anticipating a busy summer season. He listed numerous sportsmen who might need their services in the coming months including hikers, climbers, fishermen, boaters and even paddle boarders. According to Tom Adams, director of the state Department of Outdoor Recreation, the delay in implementing the program was due to concerns about some of the wording in the original bill. That was corrected when the leg- Continued from A-1 Waterway risk remains close by,” Crowley said. “If they are being flooded by debris, if they can remove it safely. Otherwise they can call Summit County Public Works and they can come and help clear debris out of the water.” Homeowners who need sandbags can go to the Public Works building and pick up 20 filled bags, free of charge. Summit County has about 52,000 empty bags that can also be filled if needed. Crowley emphasized the flood stage has not been reached yet. He said he is working closely with the National Weather Service to monitor flows, but current conditions are reminiscent of those in 1983 when rampant flooding took place across the state. “Conditions are similar, but we don’t have the exact conditions because the snowpack in the lower elevations has already melted off,” Crowley said. “But we should always be cautious and aware of flooding, especially if you Direct Importer of the World’s Finest Rugs A t t h e H i s t o r i c Vi l l a T h e a t r e 3092 So.

He said the income restrictions and pricing ensure the units will be affordable to the Park City-area work force. Loomis said there will be a “very strong preference” for local workers. Loomis anticipates widespread interest from potential buyers. “I think it will be substantial. We’ve got solid calls since this went out,” he said. Housing is a priority for Park City leaders and City Hall is pursuing an aggressive program involving the projects on Park Avenue and Prospector Avenue as well as others in locations like the lower Park Avenue corridor. Leaders say an aggressive housing program provides community benefits like ensuring socioeconomic diversity and reducing commuter traffic.

Now that the website is up and running though, Adams said he hopes outdoor enthusiasts take advantage of the program, not only to avoid a gnarly rescue bill, but to support the volunteers to stand ready to make sure everyone gets home safely. “We have a great community when it comes to volunteerism. They are the unsung heroes and we want to support them with this program’” Adams said. According to the USARA card website, “When people head into the backcountry, they don’t plan on having an accident, getting lost, or suffering from temperature extremes. But when ‘nature happens,’ calls for help go out to county search and rescue crews. Purchasing a Utah Search and Rescue Assistance (USARA) card provides you and your family peace of mind and helps to support the vital Search and Rescue services we depend on in the backcountry. The USARA card is just another piece of ‘safety equipment’ the prudent person takes into the wilds.” There is a caveat though, the Search and Rescue Assistance Card legislation specifically states that all bets are off if someone “intentionally or recklessly created a situation requiring rescue services.” Card or no card, adventure seekers need to use some common sense.

However, new floodplain maps have been drafted and are available for public comment. The new maps will be adopted in 2018 and those who are considered in a floodplain will be required to get government-regulated flood insurance. While conditions have somewhat calmed down this week, DuBois said he wanted to share his story to help educate others about the risks because he considers himself lucky to be alive. “I thought I was being overly cautious and I thought I knew what I was doing. But I took the river for granted and shouldn’t have went alone,” DuBois said. “I hope people don’t think this guy is an idiot because I realize I made some poor mistakes. But there have already been deaths and its no joke right now. This year is different than any other year and people need to approach rivers with caution.” To view the current floodplain maps, go to http://msc.fema.gov/portal and type Summit in the search window.

Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, May 27-30, 2017 Candidates’ mic taken By jay hamburger The Park Record KPCW, the Park City-based public radio station, will prohibit candidates in the City Hall election from roles on the air during the election season, a decision that is expected to impact at least three people. Larry Warren, the station’s general manager, said he made the decision after consulting with other public-radio stations and an attorney who specializes in Federal Communications Commission laws. Warren cited a provision requiring equal time for candidates. If a candidate is also an on-air volunteer, the radio station would need to offer an equal amount of time to the other candidates if they requested, he said in explaining the law. “We have to abide by FCC regulations. They’re not just rules. They have the force of law,” Warren said. Three people with on-air roles at KPCW have indicated they will campaign in the City Hall election. Tim Henney, an incumbent City Councilor, has said he will seek re-election. He is a cohost of a program called “The Mountain Life.” Josh Hobson, an environmental activist who is a volunteer disc jockey, has announced a City Council campaign. Park City Planning Commissioner Steve Joyce, a fill-in co-host on the programs “Mountain Money” and “Cool Science Radio,” is also seeking a City Council seat. “That’s name recognition, which is key in an election campaign,” Warren said. Warren said the radio station will continue to cover the three as newsmakers through their activism or government service as well as their campaigns. Henney and Joyce are especially heavily covered since the City Council and the Planning Commission are, by a wide margin, the two most influential City Hall panels. Hobson, meanwhile, drew coverage recently as the lead organizer of the March for Science in Park City. Each of them is expected to be covered extensively when the campaign starts in earnest. The prohibition will begin at the close of the June window when candidates must file paperwork formalizing their campaigns. They will be allowed to resume their roles on the air if they lose in a primary election or the general election. They will also be allowed to resume their roles if they win on Election Day in November since they would no longer be a candidate and would not be covered by the equal-time requirement, Warren said. “Once explained, all were in agreement that we have rules we have to follow,” Warren said about the three. The City Council campaign and the contest for the mayor’s office officially begins on Thursday with the opening of the filing window. The window runs until June 7. Henney, Joyce and Hobson are the three declared City Council candidates. Two people – City Councilor Andy Beerman and Summit County Councilor Roger Armstrong – have said they will seek the mayor’s office. If more than four people file paperwork in the City Council campaign, a primary would be held to reduce the field to four for Election Day. A mayoral field of more than two candidates would force a primary to reduce the field to two for Election Day. Fallen will be recalled By angelique mcnaughton The Park Record Al Clark considers himself among the lucky ones. The Coalville resident and Navy veteran who served briefly during the Korean War and was deployed again later in the Mediterranean with the Sixth Fleet said he was fortunate to survive the conflicts he witnessed knowing that many others did not. “When you’re 19 years old you just lap all that up and it’s the way you go. You don’t think about it,” Clark said. “I’m lucky that I made it back in one piece. The least we can do is honor those that didn’t make it home.” Clark, along with other members of the American Legion Post 93 in Coalville, will help honor those who lost their lives while serving their country. Post 93 in Coalville is scheduled to host memorial services on Memorial Day at each of the six North Summit cemeteries in Wanship, Hoytsville, Henefer, Echo, Upton and Coalville beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, May 29. The services will culminate at the Coalville Cemetery at noon. Henefer resident Doug Toole, who will deliver the day’s speech, will be accompanied by the North Summit High School chorus and the White Peaks Centennial Pipe Band. Hot dogs and refreshments will be served after. More than 100 people have attended the ceremony in Coalville in previous years. “At the smaller ceremonies we mostly just get the local people who come out there to pay their respects to their loved ones,” Clark said. “But we usually get about 150 people even when it has rained the past couple of years.” Gordon Hill, post commander, said more than 50 Summit County residents have given their lives in service for their country. Hill said it is a significant number for a community of this size and worth honoring. Hill, of Henefer, entered the Air Force on active duty in 1969 and was almost immediately sent to pilot training. He served one tour overseas during the Vietnam War before entering the Utah Air National Guard flying a refueling tanker. Hill was deployed on several more missions during Desert Storm and Desert Shield. He retired in 1997 after 20 years in the Air National Guard and eight years on active duty. “Certainly Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have given their life while they were serving and that is why it is such an important day that we commemorate,” Hill said. “More than 1 million people, if you start back from the Civil War, died in service. They deserved to be honored, especially our local fallen heroes.” Members of the American Legion Post 93 will be at the following cemeteries on Memorial Day: • 8 a.m.—Wanship • 8:30 a.m.—Hoytsville • 9:15 a.m.—Henefer • 9:45 a.m.—Echo • 10:35 a.m.—Upton • Noon—Coalville Park City Memorial Day ceremony planned The Park City post of the American Legion plans to hold a Memorial Day ceremony on Monday to mark the national holiday. The ceremony is scheduled at 9 a.m. at the Park City Cemetery on Kearns Boulevard, the site of many previous Memorial Day gatherings. The event is expected to feature remarks by Dick Gallagher, who is a retired Navy vice admiral, as well as a lineup of others, including Brian Seay, who is the commander of the post, and Glenn Wright, a Summit County Councilor who has long been involved in the American Legion. |
