Show Developments Planned Near City Await Zone Hearing Outcome V ' Of the 280 acres, 54 will be left as open space, according to Van Martin of J.J. Johnson. The remainder of the property will be divided into lots of 12,500 square feet or larger, he said. The overall density would be about 1.1 dwelling units per . acre. Martin said that an environmental environ-mental impact statement has already been approved by the county planning commission. The proposal calls for single family dwellings, with architectural architec-tural styles to be governed by restrictive convanents administered adminis-tered by a homeowners association. associa-tion. Martin pointed out that a seven-mill additional property tax levy has been proposed to pay for county maintenance of dedicated streets. He said that streets have been planned to conform with the contours of the land. The zone change on Quarry Mountain would expand the proposed Mountain Top Subdivision, Subdivi-sion, calling for 12 lots on 20 acres, was approved by the Summit County Commission in May. On the additional 10 acres, three or four lots are planned, according to Henry Isaksen, owner of the property. Isaksen is requesting that the land be rezoned from AG-1 (Agriculture, 40-acre minimum lot size) to RR-1 (Rural Residential, Residen-tial, one-acre minimum lot size). He indicated that he would amend the original subdivision plat to include the new lots. The original plat has yet to be recorded; to do so, the developer must post a bond with the county to cover the cost of improvements. "The money market right now isn't like it was six months ago," Isaksen noted. Construction on the site could begin next year "at the absolute earliest," he said. Isaksen is the president of AID Associates, a property management man-agement firm. Further information on either zone change petition is available at the County Planning Office in Coalville. The Summit County Commission Commis-sion is inviting public comment on two petitions for zone change in the Park City-Snyderville area. One petition asks for the rezoning of 280 acres on the west side of U.S. Highway 40 about a mile south of Silver Creek 'Junction. A 320-unit development de-velopment is being considered for the site. The other petition request a zone change for a 10-acre parcel on Quarry Mountain, between Park City and Snyderville, adjacent adja-cent to the proposed Mountain Top subdivision. A public hearing will be held Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 4 p.m. in the courthouse in Coalville to consider both petitions. The 280-acre parcel is owned by Jim Lynn of Wasatch Homes and Capson-Morris-McComb realtors. "The developer is requesting a zone change from agriculture to RR-1 (Rural Residential, one-acre one-acre minimum building site)," County Planner Stan Strebel explained in a recent news release. "In addition, a conditional condi-tional use permit for a planned unit development is expected to be requested." "If granted, the developer could be eligible for a density increase of 50 percent over that allowed by the zone. By clustering cluster-ing some units, leaving significant signifi-cant areas of open space, and contributing sites for public facilities, fac-ilities, an overall denisty of 1.5 units per developable acre in the project could be allowed," Strebel Stre-bel points out. Preliminary plans for a planned plann-ed unit development are being prepared by J.J. Johnson and Associates of Park City. |
