Snyderville Basin Cemetery board presents preferred site; council requests joint public hearing
Summary
Cemetery board outlined a preferred Snyderville Basin site at Cub Run and SR‑224, citing utilities access and a 240–270 foot buffer to nearest residences; council asked for public outreach and a joint hearing before any acquisition.
Board representatives for the Snyderville Basin Cemetery presented a preferred site at the corner of SR‑224 and Cub Run and summarized outreach with nearby stakeholders. "We met with the Snyderville Basin Rec district... and they are in favor of our site," the presenter said, noting Summit Water Company and Park City School District conversations and an initial grading study that showed the alignment might work. The board said they hired a consultant to study market demand for burial plots and expect an initial report at their March 11 meeting.
Council members and residents raised questions about access, whether to enter from Cub Run or Olympic Parkway, possible impacts on property values and visibility from the Utah Olympic Park, and what the proposed "community building" would be. County counsel and staff reminded the board that cemeteries are conditional uses and that deed‑restriction amendments from benefited property owners will likely be required. The council asked the cemetery board to schedule public outreach and a joint council/district hearing so the council can hear concerns directly before any acquisition or CUP filing.
