Pivotal revisited their proposal for this requirement at the Eastern Summit County Planning Commission meeting held Wednesday, May 3. Pivotal has proposed to contribute SI .500 at the time each building permit is issued to a county managed agricultural protection program. They estimated the total contribution for the entire project to be over $2.5 million dollars. This was not the first time members of the Planning Commission heard this proposal. In February when Pivotal presented this information several Commissioners expressed concern over both the amount and timing of the contribution. At that time Pivotal was asked to study the value of the agricultural land. Tom Ellison, legal representative for Pivotal, outlined the research done by Intermountain Appraisal Service,. Inc., a company specializing in rural appraising "The market derived value for the agricultural ure of the Promontory property is between $720,000 and $1.1 10.000," Ellison said. If there numbers were accepted. Pivotal's 2.5 million dollar contribution to agricultural protection would be 2-- 3 times higher than their estimated value of the land. However, Commissioners may be reluctant to accept that valuation. During Februarys discussion on the program, most, if not all, commissioners were not sold on Pivotal's proposal. The comment was made that $1500 was too little to late. Nonetheless, Pivotal's numbers have not changed. In addition to agricultural protection, the planning commission listened to Pivotal representatives as they refuted issues regarding carrying capacity, view sheds, trail systems, and water quality. Pivotal continued to respond to the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission's concerns outlined in the negative recommendation they forwarded to the Eastern Summit County Planning Commission last month. According to Pivotal, 1067 units or roughly 60 of the total units (including bonus density) are outside of critical view shed areas. Snyderville Basin contends that there is not a significant amount of contiguous open space. Pivotal strongly disagrees; saying over 60 of the entire project is open space, rivoiai says Promontory will not create sprawl, but rather that it will be a sensitively done environmental project One of the many environmental concerns among Eastern Summit County Planning Commissioners is water quality. Water is very important to cast side residents, said Commissioner ElazzarJ. Pivotal will address plans to assess and monitor water quality at future meetings. POOR COPY I l. ,aS.. Jt , v rfc PAMELA ROBBINS Bee Editor The new Echo Port of Entry in Echo Canyon, was started in February of 1998 and was slated to have its opening last year. However, some complications set in such as water issues-bot- h getting good water inside the building and getting rid of waste water around the outside of the facility. According to project director. Cory Pope, "the end is in sight now, but we are still waiting for the communication lines to be set in place." "Hopefully site work will be completed in June and a fall date is set for opening the new Port." By implementing modern technology, the port promises to move truck traffic along more smoothly with the ux of instruction signs' that will let the "trucker know what to do, including telling himher to come inside to pick up messages if need be. An on sire inspection bay measuring 20 feet wide by 125 feet in length will allow problems to be fixed in a hurry. Inside features include a State of the Art control room which house the employees of the port. Modem desks, computer stations, break room, offices for training or discussion purposes have all been designed with efficiency in mind. Project Architects are Gillies, Siransky, Brems and Smith of Salt Lake with Wadsworth Bros. Construction out of Draper being in charge of lire construction. Cal Wadsworth heads up the sub contractor's for the project. Bid out at 6.3 Million, the project will end at clou to 9 Million. Employees are looking forward to moving to the modem Echo Port of Entry. |
