City Building Plan THE STATE BOX ELDER The Friday, April 28, 2000 Parry showed the council re- vised sketches, but said MTC needs four stories to make its 80,000square-foot headquarters economically viable. Hesaid if the city requiresa different design, MTC may ask for more tax incentivesto offsetthe highercost. The vehement opposition of the 80 residents who packed City Hall on Wednesday took city leaders aback. The council, acting as the Centerville Redevelopment Agency, had spent months negotiating with MTC andheld a news conference in March to announce an agreement. fs At the time, Mayor Frank Hirs- chi declared it a “great day” for Centerville, and predicted the MTC complex would jump-start development on an even bigger parcel on the south side of Parrish Lane. City leaders had been trying to figure out what to do with the old ballpark for more than a decade. Last year, they watched a deal to develop offices, shops and restau- rantsfizzle. The agreement with the RDA calls for MTC to buy4.15 acres for nearly $904,000. It would begin construction next month. MTC would have a three-year optionto buy two adjoining parcels totaling nearly 6.5 acres, where the company plans to construct then lease two other office buildings. Chuck Senn. Young said he will try to per- andhopes to get $3 million from the 12-acre sale to pay for park developmentelsewhere in thecity. But grass-roots activist David Putnam Jr. does not wantto lose the old ballpark. He repeated his offer Wednesday night to buy the city’s parcel andkeepit as a park. Councilman RonRussellsaid he wished residents had spoken up sooner in the planning process abouttheir concerns. RogerTew,a resident who as an attorney often advises cities on tax issues, countered that the closeddoor negotiations between the city’s RDA and MTC prevented that and left many of his neighbors feeling the project was a donedeal. The council voted Wednesday to send the proposal back to the Planning Commission, which had rejected thesite plan onfive points, including the height and look of the buildings. MTC had appealed to the council, andit was the public hearing on that appeal that broughtout residents Wednesday. Council member Rick Bangerter said that while Centerville should try to keep its smalltown nature, it cannot ignore growth. “It’s upon us. We're close to urban Salt Lake and we get a spillover from that and neither I nor you can preventthat.” Council member David Gill said he likes MTC’s project, and has spoken to many residents who agree. “What MTC has proposed will become anothercrownjewel in our city,” Gill said. 50% Savings and More OnAll INVENTORY WINDOWS manServicesdivision. and DOORS.
