The Planning Department created the timeline as part of a report published in anticipation of a Planning Commission meeting scheduled on Wednesday. The timeline provides a potential preview of what is expected to be a closely watched process as the Planning Commission moves toward a decision on what is seen as one of the last major developments that will be sought within the Park City limits. The Planning Commission in May started its review of the project and is scheduled to continue the talks on Wednesday. The tentative timeline after the Wednesday meeting involves six additional Planning Commission or Park City Council gatherings about the development proposal. The timeline, as outlined in the report, includes: • a Wednesday meeting of the Planning Commission to discuss a procedural matter regarding the processing of the application. • a July 8 Planning Commission visit to the land. • a July 22 Planning Commission meeting addressing topics like the architectural details, the overall design and heights. JAY HAMBURGER/PARK RECORD The Park City Planning Commission on Wednesday is scheduled to continue talks about a development proposal for the Park City Mountain Resort parking lots, shown on Monday morning after an early June snowfall. City Hall officials have outlined a tentative schedule for the Planning Commission meetings pointing toward a possible October vote. • a July 30 City Council meeting discussing plans for affordable housing. • an Aug. 26 Planning Commission meeting dealing with transit, traffic, parking and related topics. • a Sept. 23 Planning Commission meeting discussing utilities, the phases of the project, sustainability and other unspecified topics that may remain unresolved. • an Oct. 22 Planning Commission meeting to review the details of a potential approval, and a vote on the project. There would be public input opportunities throughout the process. The timeline is tentative and either side could likely request modifications to the schedule. A development proposal as large as the one for the PCMR lots sometimes can take much longer to proceed through the Planning Commission process than the timeline outlines. A Provo firm called PEG Companies negotiated to acquire the PCMR lots from resort owner Vail Resorts. The PEG Companies proposal is based on an overall 1990s-era approval secured by a previous owner of PCMR allowing the development of the lots. The Vail Resorts-PEG Companies deal would not be finalized until after a decision on the project. The Planning Commission meeting Wednesday is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. It will be held remotely as part of City Hall’s efforts to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. The meeting will be broadcast on the municipal website, and public input is accepted through the website. More information is available on the website, parkcity.org.

PoliCe Blotter The Park City Police Department last week received two reports in quick succession about cement that was spilled into the road on S.R. 224. A vehicle drove over the cement in one of the cases, the police were told. The police on Tuesday, June 2 at 8:25 a.m. received a report that a driver on outbound S.R. 224 “ran over a pile of cement that the cement truck spilled” in the vicinity of the McPolin Farm. The police indicated the vehicle suffered unspecified damage. Twenty-one minutes earlier, the police were told of cement in the road on S.R. 224. The department at the time of the earlier report indicated the cement presented a traffic hazard. Other incidents reported to the Police Department last week included: On Saturday, June 6, the Police Department over the course of less than an hour received two calls regarding worries about flooding as a result of the precipitation. The police at 9:16 p.m., were told of someone concerned about water levels off Bonanza Court, close to a residence. The police found the water was up to 10 inches below becoming a threat. On Payday Drive at 8:55 p.m., meanwhile, someone contacted the police requesting additional sandbags to protect against the possibility of an overflowing stream in the backyard. Cars were reported to be revving engines on Main Street at 3:25 p.m. The police at 1:13 p.m. received a complaint about someone using a dump location unlawfully. The case was logged on Deer Lake Drive. The police classified the case as suspected trespassing. Someone at 12:03 p.m. reported a tent, described as large, off Paddington Drive. It was located between houses and the Rail Trail. On Saturday, June 6 at 2:14 a.m., a person was suspected to be intoxicated on Main Street. A taxi was found for the person, the police said. On Friday, June 5 at 7:41 p.m., someone contacted the police complaining about a drum circle on the field outside the Park City Library that had stretched for four hours. The person could hear the drums from their house. The Police Department at 6:20 a.m. received information about a man who was suspected to be homeless. The police were told the man had been sleeping close to the Recreation Building at City Park. There had been reports about the man for approximately a week, according to the police. On Thursday, June 4 at 11:59 p.m., a party was reportedly occurring around a vehicle on Bonanza Drive. The people had been there for 30 minutes, the police were told. The Police Department logged the case as suspected disturbing the peace. The police at 4:47 p.m. received a complaint about a man with seven or more children riding scooters in the skate park at City Park. The man was not “keeping track of his kids, they are running rampant in the skate park,” the police were told, according to public police logs. Someone at 4:37 p.m. reported a car that was in a driveway had been vandalized on Daly Avenue. The damage apparently occurred the night before. It appeared that “somebody took a bat or something to it,” the police were told. The person told the police there was broken plastic in the back, according to public police logs. The police classified the case as suspected criminal mischief. The police at 3:06 p.m. received a complaint from someone worried about a bicyclist or bicyclists “not stopping and obeying traffic laws.” The case was logged on Heber Avenue, but it was not clear from public police logs whether there was an incident on that road. On Wednesday, June 3 at 5:39 p.m., the police stopped a motorcyclist suspected of speeding on Marsac Avenue. The police said the motorcycle was traveling at 80 mph. On Tuesday, June 2 at 3:22 p.m., a mountain bike was reported to have been stolen on Homestake Road. The police were told the bike had been locked the night before. The case was logged as a suspected theft. A suspected bicycle theft was also reported at 2:48 p.m. on Prospector Avenue. On Monday, June 1 at 7:38 p.m., a man who appeared to be “extremely intoxicated” reportedly went to a drive thru on Bonanza Drive. The police were told the man threatened high school-aged people and threw unspecified items at them. Noises heard like gunshots in city JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record The Park City Police Department last week received at least two reports of noises that sounded like gunshots, including a case on the edge of a tract of open space popular with recreation lovers. The police on Saturday, June 6 at 11:54 a.m., received a report that a person hiking with kids could hear gunshots in the vicinity of a Bonanza Flat trailhead off S.R. 224. The person told the police someone could have been firing what was described as a “heavy firearm,” according to public police logs. The police were told the person was worried a stray bullet could hit someone. The City Hall-owned Bonanza Flat is a swath of open space in Wasatch County south of Park City. It attracts hikers and bicyclists in the summer and snowshoers and cross-country skiers in the winter. There are also occasional reports of hunters in Bonanza Flat. There have long been worries in Park City about hunting or other sorts of shooting in or close to lands protected as open space like Bonanza Flat since they draw so many people for recreation purposes. It was not clear, though, from public police logs whether the noises emanated from Bonanza Flat itself or land close to municipal ground. On Thursday, June 4 at 9:31 p.m., meanwhile, someone reported hearing noises that sounded like gunshots in the vicinity of Monitor Drive. The police said the circumstances were suspicious. |
