It is the intent of Summit County to attempt to continue to provide the existing variety, scale, and frequency of public services and infrastructure for all existing and new development in these remote areas of the Snyderville Basin. It is not the intent of Summit County to increase the variety, scale and frequency of public services and infrastructure, or to provide urban levels of service and infrastructure in these areas. By this notice, the property owner assumes the risk of occupancy as outlined above, and is hereby put on notice that there are no anticipated changes in the levels of service or infrastructure by either Summit County or the appropriate special service district, nor does the property owner expect changes beyond those identified herein.
