Frank C. Comments 5/20/10

NOT SECTION-SPECIFIC:
-Notice the date--March. What took until May 19 to make it public?
-No mention of any of the 19 conditions except density and the road
and the golf course. What about the rest of them?
-No mention of expiration dates on the development agreement. If it's
the typical Weber County DA, they'll have 2 years, which these perps
could never meet. I bet they'll try to make it non-expiring. Why is
this not addressed in the MOU?
-The way I read the OVPC minutes, 2800 was what the perps asked for
way back when, so what kind of compromise is this on their part?

SECTION-SPECIFIC:
2.1-Current allowed density= 1218 (plus the 937 in Cache County that
burden us and our roads etc.)No clear resolution on hotel vs
multi-family (condos, condotels, etc) What is the true figure? Why a
3:1 hotel conversion density? Even the current 2:1 makes no sense.
Each room//unit is another car. Same as to lockouts. That is a stupid
carveout.

2.2-UDOT has already spoken; it can't be done! What sense does it make
to agree to do something that can't be done (unless the provision was
designed to be illusory from the outset to fool the dumb public). See
also notes on section4.

2.5-"Local Community" as beneficiary of the donations? If that is not
redefined as Ogden Valley, we get screwed again, as the County will,
as it has before, take the funds generated up here and spend them
elsewhere, while we here in the Valley are stuck with the burden.

3.- "At least" one golf course? How about one 9-holer to test
popularity and burden and feasibility, with one more 9-holer as the
limit?

4.-ILLEGAL! How on earth can public officials agree to do something
they acknowledge is illegal?? What happens if the effort to change the
law is unsuccessful? Does that provision go out the window (along with
the benefit to the county)? Who pays the transfer fee, anyway?

7.- Density numbers must INCLUDE Eden Heights if they exceed 1218 at
all, since EH has ability to add 500 more units all by itself.

8.-Confuses the issue about Eden Heights, and what do you bet the
"open space" is unbuildable, and likely unusable to all but mountain
goats, anyway? The exhibit drawings look to me as if Eden Heights is
in the project, but they indicate it isn't. What's the truth?

9.-Who decides what is "standard and customary in Utah"? WAH? Should
be limited to what's standard and customary in Weber County.

Feel free to share these as needed, or use them for whatever purpose
except to make me look bad. This whole thing sucks.
