The 750-unit high density development proposed by Dakota Pacific in Kimball Junction, an area that does not have the roads and services to support this development, is not a good option for the current residents in the area and surrounding community.  The latest proposed partnership with Dakota Pacific to develop the Tech Center into a high-density multi-family development will end up costing the community tens of millions of dollars to accommodate their proposal and will create a burden to the current schools, library, roads, firefighters and other public services.  Under the current road conditions, the increased traffic in the area will considerably add to the commuting time to and from the already congested Kimball Junction intersections. I am a long-time Summit County resident who has been following Dakota Pacific’s tactics to get their way, and I do not support the proposed private-public partnership. Overall, the majority of full-time residents in the Park City, Snyderville and Kimball Junction area will be adversely affected by Dakota Pacific’s high-density proposal.  There are no tangible benefits to our community and the proposal will likely require more tax increases to fund the problems that this development will bring.  I do, however, support Dakota Pacific’s original proposal for a Tech Center. As a taxpayer, I will not approve the use of my tax dollars to support private developers.Instead, this topic should be included in a voting ballot in order to assess if the community wants this public-private partnership. Considering Dakota Pacific’s history of bypassing our local government and our local residents, my comfort level to establish a partnership with Dakota Pacific is very low.Ruby DiazPinebrookThe post A bad option appeared first on Park Record.
