CRH Partners, LLC, which is building the Kings Crown project, reached an agreement with the not-for-profit Summit Land Conservancy that strips the possibility of development from 11 acres through a tool known as a conservation easement. The acreage remains with the landowner under such an easement, but the development rights are removed. The firm was not compensated for the conservation easement. The project is located at 1201 Lowell Ave. and stretches the length of what would be considered several blocks. The land involved in the conservation easement covers a hillside just outside the construction zone. The acreage roughly runs to the Kings Crown ski run at PCMR and south to the Treasure land overlooking Old Town. “It makes sure any rights of development… are done forever,” said Hans Fuegi, a partner in the development firm, about the land that was protected, adding, “It’s now open space.” According to the Summit Land Conservancy, 237 houses accessed by four streets were once envisioned on Continued from A-1 Hatred will not win with giving these speeches.” The theme that ties everything together is loss and healing, he said. “I have lost my family, because the Nazis killed them,” Eisenbach said. “But I met my future wife, Irene, in the most romantic place in a Nazi concentration camp. We got married after the war and started a new life.” Part of that new life included Eisenbach being smuggled out of Poland with his wife and becoming a dentist, a profession that gave him “great satisfaction,” he said. “I practiced for 60 years and retired when I was 92,” he said. “And when I retired, I refused to give the enemy another victory. So I decided to travel the world and give speeches about my story.” Irene passed away in 2014, and that only fueled Eisenbach’s determina- Continued from A-1 Herd grazes at farm 15 acres of Kings Crown land. CRH Partners, LLC, though, pursued a scaled-back project from the original idea. The development involves 27 lots for houses, 23 condominiums, seven townhouses and 15 housing units priced lower than the market, known as affordable or attainable. Work recently started, and the construction zone is highly visible from numerous vantages. There may have been the opportunity someday for CRH Partners, LLC to tap a City Hall program that allows certain landowners to shift development rights to another parcel. A landowner like CRH Partners, LLC may have had the opportunity to seek a lucrative agreement with another owner to shift the leftover developmentT rights to the other parcel. Fuegi saido the firm was not interested in shifting the remaining rights elsewhere. Fuegi acknowledged the developer anticipates a tax benefit as a result of the conservation agreement with Summit Land Conservancy. The dollar figure of a potential tax benefit is not known, he said. The Summit Land Conservancy said in a release the conservation easement protects “the natural wildlife habitat, water quality, recreational, and scenic open space values of the property.” It said the land provides habitat for wildlife like moose, deer and elk “and is contiguous” to other wildlife habitat at PCMR. The release also said the undeveloped land guards against erosion and offers “an unobstructed ridgeline view of mixed forest that is recognizable when tree foliage is at its peak.” “Kings Crown will serve as one of the few green buffers between Old Town Park City and ski resort development,” the organization said. tion to tell their story. “If we forget it, we make it easy for history to repeat itself,” he said. “We have to work hard to prevent hatred, anti-Semitism and genocide.” Rabbi Yudi Steiger of Chabad of Park City, which is presenting the event, hopes local residents and visitors will attend Eisenbach’s speech. “This is a special opportunity for the community to hear from someone like this,” he said. “People will get to hear from a person who saw firsthand what hatred can do.” Dr. Jacob Eisenbach will speak on Thursday, Aug. 30, at Montage Deer Valley, 9100 Marsac Ave. Tickets for the event, which is presented by Chabad of Park City, are on sale. They can be purchased by visiting www.jewishparkcity.com. There are two ticket options. The general ticket is $25 for adults and $18 for students. General ticket holders will be admitted to Eisenbach’s speech that starts at 7 p.m. The second option is a sponsor ticket priced at $300. That ticket will include a meet and greet with Eisenbach at 6 p.m., a signed copy of Karen McCartney’s book “Where You Go, I Go” and entrance to Eisenbach’s speech.

Park City leaders see the environmental program as important at a time when there is concern a changing climate could someday threaten the ski industry that is critical to the area economy.
