Don't forget to attend the public hearing regarding Snowbasin's development plans
Tonight (8-4-10) at 5 pm
Weber County commission chambers
2380 Washington Blvd.
Ogden, UT
UPDATE - August 5, 2010 @ 8 am
The meeting was essentially a non event with only about 25 people in the chamber (8 or so were Snowbasin folks). All commissioners were present with the exception of Laura Warburton, who was excused.
Snowbasin made their presentation, then Kim Wheatley made some comments and recommendations on behalf of the GEM committee and their concerns of "area G," the commercial area proposed at the intersection of Trappers loop road and Highway 39.
Next, Huntsville Mayor Jim Truett voiced the town's concerns about the same intersection and the proposed commercial property. His main concern was with Huntsville's future plans for annexation and the fact that the Snowbasin property would prevent Huntsville from Annexing West of the intersection. He was also concerned with current and future Huntsville businesses and their ability (or inability) to compete with Snowbasin businesses.
A gentleman representing the Division of Wildlife Resources stated some concerns and Mrs. Stringham voiced concerns about rising property values and the resulting increased taxes.
In the end, the OVPC tabled the issue until the planning staff could research a few more items, but it was apparent that the majority of the commissioners would be in favor of Snowbasin's request.
