Show School board reconsiders sewer line easement for Park Meadows The Park City School District met in special session last night, July 25, to ratify an amended sewer easement agreement with the Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement Improve-ment District. At press time, a decision on the agreement had not been made. However, school board President Gary Avise said he expected it to be ratified. The action is necessary, according to sewer district and school board officials, so that work on the sewer line along Kearns Boulevard can continue. The new easement is being proposed as an amendment to an earlier easement that allowed the sewer district to install a line across school district property along Kearns Boulevard. Additionally, the easement ease-ment allowed the sewer district, at a later date to lay a line along the eastern boundary of the school district property into Park City in exchange for the easements, the school district is to receive fee waivers for sewer connections on the next two school buildings constructed construct-ed in the district and any future additions to Park City High School. That agreement was hammered out between School Superintendant Tony Mitchell and former Snyderville Snyder-ville Basin District Manager Ed "1 Davis. The School Board approved J the original easement at its June 27 meeting. The Board of Trustees for the sewer district followed suit July 9. However, according to Avise, that easement approval was contingent upon the sewer line alignment for the Park Meadows interceptor line. The school district is requesting that the sewer district run the line to the west of where it was orginially planned. The school district wants the line angled west to the main line which will run along Kearns Boulevard, Avise said, because a straight line would decrease school district property value on that southeast portion of ground. The problem, however, according to the new Snyderville District Manager, Rex Ausburn, is that angling the line to the west will cost an additional $20,000 in materials and labor. Ausburn said he will propose to the school board that it share the added expense at the time the Park Meadows interceptor is installed. It is now scheduled for spring, 1986 construction. At that time, Ausburn said, the . sewer district will know exactly what those costs are. Without agreement on the Park Meadows interceptor line, the easement agreement could become void, according to officials. It is possible under those circumstances that work on the sewer line would have to stop. |
