Ryan Crandall said while they anticipated an appeal, they still plan to break ground on the project sometime this week. The parking lot where the building will be located has been fenced off in preparation of the construction. The Crandalls have secured a permit to begin installing the utilities, but still need to obtain a building permit. Construction of the building is expected to take about 10 months. “The appeal is not stopping any of that,” he said. “They’re not appealing us, they are appealing the county. We shouldn’t be penalized.” Preserve the Newpark Plaza’s appeal application cited concerns about the architectural design, including the building height and layout of the project. The application claims the buildings surrounding the sun calendar plaza are required to have “architectural enrichment and variety,” as well as “special icon treatment.” “The sun calendar plaza is the centerpiece of Newpark,” the application states. “All preliminary site plans identify that the intent for the parcel is to have retail on the main floor and residential (if at all) on the second and third stories.” Those opposed to the project have said it will encroach upon the Newpark Town Plaza and reduce, they’ve claimed, one of the only gathering spaces in the Kimball Junction area. The amphitheater has grown increasingly popular as a gathering spot during warmer months with outdoor lage and will go down Canyons Resort Road, Frostwood Drive, Cooper Lane, Sun Peak Drive and Old Ranch Road, with traffic delays from 11:30 to 11:55 a.m. It will then travel over Old Ranch Road, go east on Highland Drive, then use Silver Summit Parkway and Old Highway 40 to access S.R. 248, reaching the Summit-Salt Lake county line between 12:09 and 12:20 p.m. Competitors will return through Park City via Browns Canyon Road, S.R. 248 past Park City High School, and up S.R. 224 past Deer Valley to Guardsman Pass between 1:45 and 3:05 p.m. Big Cottonwood Canyon will be closed to all vehicle and bike traffic between noon and 2 p.m., and Little Cottonwood Canyon will be closed to the same between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday Stage 6 important times and traffic advisories: Main Street will be closed to automobile traffic and parking beginning at 4 a.m., from Heber Avenue to Swede Alley, on Sunday. The race begins at 12:15 p.m., starting with two ceremonial laps of 5-10 minutes each around Old Town, with Deer Valley Drive, Swede Alley and Main Street closed to traffic. The racers will exit onto Bonanza Drive and turn right onto Kearns Boulevard (S.R. 248). The race begins in earnest at the intersection with Sidewinder Drive between 12:25 and 12:35 p.m. Cyclists will not be allowed to try pushing the race’s pace or make significant passes until then. The race will leave the Park City area via S.R. 248 and Richardson Flat Road. It’s expected to reach Center Street in Heber between 2:25-3:15 p.m. It will travel through downtown Midway on S.R. 113 onto North 200 West between 2:35 and 3:20 p.m. The race will return to Park City via Pine Canyon Drive and will finish by going down Marsac Avenue to Main Street, finishing between 3:15 to 4 p.m. Spectators encouraged to arrive early wherever they plan to view the race from. Parking is free at Park City High School, Treasure Mountain Junior High, Park City Mountain base area and the Cabriolet parking lot at Canyons. Those who want to park downtown can pay $20 per vehicle for a space in the China Bridge parking garage, which will be accessible only from Marsac Avenue. Because the parking structure exits onto the race course, no vehicles will be able to exit between 3 and 5 p.m. concerts frequently hosted there. However, the concerts were not held this year in anticipation of the construction. The Summit County Attorney’s Office maintains Fisher did not err in approving the final site plan and plat. According to a staff report prepared by Chief Civil Deputy Attorney Dave Thomas, the market conditions clause is at the center of the appeal. The staff report states that the clause provides flexibility for property owners to respond to the market while at the same time “conforming to principles required to create a true town center.” The report claims landowners throughout Newpark have used the clause for other projects. “Unfortunately, such is the fate of the last to development within a development area,” the report states. “Those who proceeded them want to shut the door and keep the status quo… Now the last developer seeks to use it, the previous developers have buyer’s remorse.” Crandall said the law is on their side and is fairly confident the county manager’s approval will be upheld. “Preserve the Plaza members have used this to their advantage several times,” he said. “I don’t know why they keep pushing us back. If we have to, we will take this to court and then this could take longer and we will not be having concerts again next year. They are trying to prevent the inevitable and hurting the community in the process.” Crandall was sympathetic to the concerns about the impacts the project would have on the space, but, he added, “It will still be there. Only instead of a parking lot it will be a building. There will still be concerts.” “The homeowners will be paying dues that can go back into events and repairs to make sure it is a vibrant and beautiful gathering space,” he said. “Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean someone doesn’t have a right to build it. People’s opinions are trying to outweigh facts.” Continued from A-1 for the developers, he said, describing the financial scenario as “breakeven at best.” “They should have a shot at being able to qualify for something here,” he said about potential buyers of the restricted units. Jason Glidden, the housing development manager at City Hall, said the residences will be priced at a “significant discount” compared to the market. There is an “unmet market” for young professionals who cannot afford places on the open market but whose incomes are too high to qualify for restricted workforce housing like the project’s lower-priced units, he explained. The Planning Commission meeting is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. at the Marsac Building. A hearing is planned. The panel could forward a recommendation to the Park City Council acting as the Park City Housing Authority in this instance. Park City leaders for years have required developers of larger projects include workforce or otherwise affordable housing in an effort to reduce impacts like commuter traffic. City Hall, meanwhile, has pursued its own housing program with similar goals. Housing is seen as one of the important aspects of the municipal government’s broad efforts centered on social equity. Housing for high earners estate market is difficult for young professionals like the ones who could qualify to buy one of the restricted units. “It’s a tough market. For somebody moving to town ... It’s still very difficult,” Fuegi said, adding, “It’s not easy, even for young professionals.” Early work has started on King’s Crown, which is located off Lowell Avenue close to the Resort Center. The project is on the slopes of Park City Mountain Resort. The 15 units that will be set aside for workforce housing will be contained within one building that will be situated closest to the Marriott’s Mountainside at PCMR. Fuegi anticipates the ground for the building will be excavated in the fall with vertical construction starting as early as the winter. He expects there will be high demand for the units. The building will not generate profit Continued from A-1 Schools plan outlined and math,” she said. “It’s a more comprehensive look at the child. So you look at academic, behavioral, social and emotional well-being and learning.” Gildea said the district has already taken steps to focus on the whole child, and she hopes to continue those efforts, especially as they relate to mental health. The district has also focused heavily on safety and security over the last two years, which has become a responsibility that Gildea said might be better supervised under another administrative position. She suggested that a deputy superintendent be hired to oversee safety and security as well as child nutrition, master planning and other operational duties that have previously been performed by the business administrator and superintendent positions. The Board is currently receiving applications to fill the position. Gildea’s responsibilities would then focus on instructional support for administrators.
