Take advantage of the ski-valet and prime ski-in/ski-out location in Park City Canyons Village for slopeside Summit County originally approved the property, then the Snowed Inn, and related uses as a Class II development in August of 1985. The 1998 Development Code allowed for a change of use in the existing building from a hotel to a school and it operated as a school until 2008. Hoffvest LLC, operated by Worsley and McBroom, submitted a proposal to the county to construct a 55-room hotel project, along with a 5,000-square-foot restaurant, bakery and fitness studios. The project went through several iterations before a scaled-back version was ultimately presented to the Planning Commission for a decision. The vote was 6-1, with former planning commissioner Chuck Klingenstein dissenting. Commissioners Canice Harte, Bea Peck, Joel Fine, Malena Stevens, Ryan Dickey and Thomas Cooke agreed to approve the application. Seven public meetings, including four hearings, were held at the commission level about the project, with residents in the three surrounding neighborhoods overwhelmingly opposing the project from the onset. The former Colby School is in a rural-residential zone and is surrounded by the nounced Thursday morning. According to the Park City School District, school officials received information about the threat after a student overheard it and told their parents, who informed the school. The Park City Police Department spoke with witnesses to the threat and the student who made it. The student will not return to the school until further notice, according to the district. Park City Police Captain Phil Kirk said the threat was made against another student but declined to elaborate. The district said there was an increased police presence at the school Thursday for added safety, in accordance with policy. A district announcement also reminded students to report suspicious behavior to parents, teachers, school administrators or law enforcement. Park West Village, Brookside Estates and Two Creeks Ranch neighborhoods. “I think that the County Council got down to the nubs of the problems,” said Art Brothers, a Park West Village resident. “I’m glad we have a mechanism where we can say, ‘Should this have been done this way?’ “It’s likely that what will occur here will be seen as a stepping stone toward continuing to strengthen and support the process to determine what can be developed where,” he added. County Council members ultimately determined the project’s application did not go through the appropriate process and the proposed uses are not allowed in the rural residential zone at the scale they were proposed. Council Chair Kim Carson said she concluded that the Class II permit, which no longer exists in county code, did not equal a conditional-use permit. “In looking at the different codes, we came to the conclusion that it was a separate, stand-alone process,” she said. Councilors ruled that the property had most recently served as a school and the entitlements for someone to operate an inn at the site had expired or been abandoned under state law. Bruce Baird, an attorney representing Hoffvest LLC, said he was not surprised by the Council’s decision. “It was fairly clear from what their comments had been how they were going to rule,” he said. “It sounded as scripted as I have ever heard a County Council meeting. They had clearly made up their minds and I would have bet you $1,000 I could have written everything they said. I disagree with it, but it was easy to predict.” Baird said his client will take some time to consider what to do next now that the ruling prevents the project from moving forward as proposed. He said litigation is an “obvious option” that may be pursued. Request for recusal Baird said he was also unsurprised that the Council did not adhere to any of the demands he had outlined Monday in a letter to the county. In the letter, he accused the Council of misconduct, claiming, among other charges, that the Council members engaged in inappropriate secret sessions in violation of open-meetings laws. The letter demanded the entire Council’s recusal, along with an independent review of the appeals and a continuation of the discussion surrounding them. Carson said Council members were confident they did not violate any open-meetings laws and felt recusal was unnecessary. “We’ve reviewed many appeals and some have gone in favor of the planning department and others have not,” she said. “We look at each on a case-by-case basis and go from there. We made a motion to deny the request for recusal of the entire Council on the grounds that there wasn’t any reason to do that. We didn’t see anything that had come up to affect our ability to be non-partial in any manner.” Party-In/Party-Out. fun.
