Show School District grants easement for sewer line After more than a month of negotiations, the Park City School Board and the Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement District have reached an easement agreement which will allow the installation of a of a new sewer line along Kearns Boulevard. At its June 27 meeting fhe school board approved an agreement hammered out between School Superintendent Tony Mitchell and Snyderville Basin's District Manager Ed Davis. That agreement allows the Sewer District to lay a sewer line on the School District's property in front of the high school and gives the Sewer District an easement from Kearns Boulevard into Park Meadows along the eastern boundary of the middle school, according to Ken Dohnal, operations manager for the Snyderville Snyder-ville District. In exchange for the easements, the School District will receive connection fee waivers for the next two school buildings to be constructed construc-ted as well as connection waivers for any additions to the high school, Dohnal said. According to Dohnal, each connection connec-tion fee waiver on new buildings is worth approximately $25,000 in 1984 dollars. The fee waiver on additions to the high school is worth about $10,000, he said. The Sewer District is happy with the agreement, Dohnal said. "We felt it was absurd to be going to court with the taxpayers' money." The Sewer District had initiated condemnation condem-nation proceedings when the agreement agree-ment was reached. The settlement is an "equitable deal for the school district, ' ' M itchell said. "We're pleased that both public pub-lic entities could reach agreement." The Snyderville Basin District Board of Directors, however, has not formally voted to accept the ' easement agreement. They are expected to do so at their regularly scheduled July 9 meeting. |
