Show Page HERALD. 2-- THE Provo, Utah. Thursday. November 16. 1978 Mental Health Group, City Discuss Access Route By JACK EMMERSON task force representing the State Mental Health Board, met with Provo City officials Wednesday to discuss a proposed north - south access route east of the Utah State Hospital. Before the session was over, one board member was calling for a rev iew of hospital lease agreements with Wilderness Associates, with the possible intention of canceling them. The fact - finding group, headed by Board Vice President William Greenwood, also consisted of Norma Giles Thomas and Franchesca Marquardsen, all members of the board. Jack Zirbes, Provo City engineer; Leland Gamet-te- , associate city planner, and Larry Johnson, city draftsman, represented the city. The meeting was called as the result of the city's proposal to construct a collector - type road giving northeast, east and southeast Provo better access to thereby taking traffic pressure off 900 E. and South State Street. Last week Provo officials met with hospital officials to indicate the city's interest in developing the access route and that request was relayed to the Mental Health Board, who then formulated the task force and arranged the meeting Wednesday. Mr. Gamette, in presenting the proposal to the special task force, indicated plans for the road were formulated as long ago as 1966 in a document which ultimately became the Provo City Plan of 1968. He also stated the road would probably not be built for eight to 10 years. Mrs. Thomas expressed concern about both the proposed route east of the hospital and an alternate route which would loop the road west of the hospital past the supervisor's home, across East Center Street then southeast of the hospital back onto the foothills east of the city. At this point confusion over whether the city could build the road west of the hospital, entered the meeting when Mr. Greenwood challenged statements y that the city had been deeded a street of at the the Utah State by hospital property through time a portion of the hospital land was sold to Wilderness Associates. Mr. Gamette advised the board representatives that the city had required Wilderness to develop this leased land into open space as a buffer between the hospital and the Heritage Mountain Ski Resort. The property is scheduled to be converted into a golf course and landscaped parking, and will accommodate some of the business offices of the developers. He also indicated the board should look into the extent of the lease agreement with an eye toward having it cancelled. According to Mr. Greenwood, it was his understanding that the lease was a agreement and could be terminated within a y period. Mr. Zirbes stated he was unsure of the length of the lease, but a later check with a Wilderness Associates spokesman revealed that the lease is for 49 years and may be terminated only if the hospital can show a definite need for the land to expand hospital facilities. All three board members expressed concern over the probability of the access road being adjacent to the supervisor's home on the west side of the hospital grounds along East Center Street. They also objected to the originally proposed north - south collector road going east, behind the hospital, which would separate the hospital from the Castle Theater, indicating a possible security problem with patients having access to the road. Mr. Gamette, in his explaiuition of the project, pointed out that a footpath beneath the road would be provided to allow patrons to get to and from the theater. e could be He also suggested that an opaque i special A I o wAstrcH . g jleh H S S 3r 32 I II ; V r- ;T0W NSH lP If.

Mr. Zirbes observed that the road would not be the only access. Patients who now have the freedom of the grounds can, and do, walk off hospital property in a number of direttiwis, including down Center Street. The proposed width of the road behind the hospital would be 66 feet, Said Mr. Zirbes "It would provide single lane traffic in either direction with parking along both sides. This could later be removed as use increased traffic warranted converting the road into a four lane system." Responding to an inquiry from Mrs. Thomas about the cost of the construction. Mr. Zirbes advised that it would be approximately $100,000 and would involve about 2,300 feet of highway crossing hospital property. "The balance of the road will be paid for by y as developers along either side of the they seek to access onto the collector's road," he W boots (j JEANS I t LSI n pre-pla- SUOt SALE "Wilderness Associates will pay for that portion of the road which crosses its property, ad the new Cinnamon Hills Subdivision in the old Thorn Rock Quarry will be required to pay for that section crossing the land." Mr. Gamette denied the road was being built as an access for Wilderness Associates its Heritage Mountain Ski Resort. "Whether or not Heritage Mountain is ever built, there will have io be a north - south collector road built in this area to accommodate the heavy development along the foothills area of east Provo," he said. on the south, not "This will provide access to only for residential traific but for the developing industrial area now coming into being south of the golf course and in the vicinity of Billings Research Park." "We are deeply concerned about the hosDital and patient care," said Mrs. Thomas. She went on to say the board is tremendously concerned about the state hospital and its patients and the necessity to protect the facility from outside enroachment. Mr. Zirbes stated the city was similarly concerned and would not propose anything would be detrimental to the hospital, and that which would be presented to the board would be of benefit to the hospital as well as to the community. ' We simply wish to go on record at this time of informing the public and the hospital board that some time in the indeterminate future there will have to be a major north-sout- h collector road," he said. "We would not be doing our duty if we were to ignore advance planning to prevent the eastern portion of Provo from becoming inaccessible." Mr. Zirbes and Mr. Gamette agreed to provide the board with those documents pertinent to the proposed access roads and those documents dealing with the deeded street just west of the supervisor's home. This street will access the Heritage Mountain Resort directly to East Center Street, regardless of any other alignment of major collector road. The information will be presented to the board for its further consideration at the next meeting in December. The fact finding group members, following the meeting, indicated to various members of the media present at the conference they were unhappy with both the primary collector route and the proposed alternate. Mrs. Marquardsen stated the board is not an advisory group, but is policy - making in nature and she anticipated it would take a long hard look at the proposal amde by Provo City.
