During his regular report to KPCW, Putt said that the developers of Lincoln Station, the residential project near the Bitner Road fire station, have a new plan.
It will be called Lincoln View, located further west on the Rasmussen frontage road. And it will be on the agenda next Tuesday, November 9th, before the Snyderville Commission.
Putt said for Lincoln View, they’re following a new meeting format. It’s a preview discussion, before an application has been put forward.
“As part of our relatively recently approved Master Plan Development process, that process allows for a potential applicant to come in and present the concept plan to the planning commission, gives a chance for the commission to review that against the general plan, against the development code, gives the opportunity for the public to get involved relatively early. It’s not a public hearing, but it’s an opportunity to educate both the planning commission and the public of the potential nature of the project.”
The project is proposed for a 22-acre parcel along Rasmussen, between the RV Resort Park to the east, and Summit Self Storage to the west.
It will include about 140 multi-family residences, a mixture of market and deed-restricted workforce units, and 18,000 square feet of commercial and office area.
“I’m being told that part of this commercial office area is to be space that would be provided for, at least obtainable by local not-for-profits, entities like PC Tots, Summit Community Gardens, EPC, there’s a provision for a Basin Rec trailhead as part of this.”
KPCW also asked about the 20-acre property held by developer Henry Sigg, along the Highway 40 frontage road. Sigg’s plans for the land helped prompt the county to create a new zone.
“Mr. Sigg had actually applied for a code text amendment to the Snyderville Basin Code, to create the neighborhood mixed-use zone. Outside of that application, we haven’t received a formal application for his project.”
Putt said the current zoning is Community Commercial. And he said that Sigg is still considering whether to develop under the zone he has now, or a new zone.
“A vast majority of what he had originally talked about going into his project, that being some retail commercial anchored by a grocery store, some possible housing, again a mix of retail and workforce housing, all of that could theoretically be accommodated under the Community Commercial zone. I believe at this point he’s still weighing whether or not it would be better to apply for the rezone to neighborhood mixed-use or just advance a proposal under the existing community commercial.”
County Development Director Pat Putt, who said they will probably see an application from Sigg by the end of the year.
