A. Required: All development shall provide neighborhood park facilities in a manner that is sufficient to meet the specific recreational demands that will be generated by a development. In certain instances, cash in lieu of land and facilities may be permitted.
B. Compliance With Standards: Neighborhood recreational land (parks), facilities and trails, when provided, shall be in compliance with applicable standards of the Snyderville Basin special recreation district.
C. Maintenance: The long term care of neighborhood recreation lands (parks) and facilities shall be the responsibility of the developer or a homeowners'/property owners' association.
D. Impacts Mitigated: A development shall mitigate its impacts on the community park and trail system of the Snyderville Basin in a manner consistent with this title and the general plan.
E. Trailheads: The specific amount of parking required within "trailhead parking, designated", shall be established by the adopted conditional use permit or low impact permit and subject to the following standards:
1. Trailhead parking setbacks:
a. Ten feet (10') from the edge of a public or private right of way.
b. Side and rear setbacks: Ten feet (10') from the side and rear property lines.
c. Ten feet (10') from the facade of a structure.
d. Adjacent to preserved open space: No setbacks required.
2. If trailhead parking is provided for twenty (20) vehicles or less, a through circulation pattern shall not be required.
3. At least fifteen percent (15%) of the internal portion of the trailhead shall be landscaped using natural landscape elements, unless the trailhead is adjacent to preserved open space, in which case the landscape requirement shall be waived.
4. Parking in the road right of way may be permitted with approval from the Summit County engineering department, in which case the setbacks and landscaping requirements would not be applicable. Parking may be designed parallel to the curb or with a parking angle of up to ninety degrees (90°).
a. Parking surfaces may be pervious or impervious as specified on the site plan and approved by the Summit County engineering department.
b. Concrete blocks, boulders, wood posts and rope or other appropriate fencing shall be installed to ensure that no part of a vehicle shall extend over or beyond a property line or into preserved open space.
c. If fencing is found to be appropriate to enclose the boundaries of the established trailhead, it shall be compatible with the surrounding environment.
d. All trailhead, designated, major parking shall be designed with a through circulation pattern, unless there is suitable turnaround space at the end of the parking area. While in certain instances on street parking will be permitted, public roads shall not be used as part of a parking lot circulation pattern or require ingress and egress from the lot to a road by forward motion of the vehicle.
F. Pedestrian Nonmotorized Trail Systems:
1. Pedestrian walkways or nonmotorized trails shall be provided within a development as recommended by the Snyderville Basin special recreation district and/or Summit County engineering department to serve the needs generated by the development.
2. In the event a community wide trail as identified on the master trails plan adopted by the Snyderville Basin special recreation district, is located on a development parcel, the county may pursuant to the provisions of Utah Code Annotated section 17-27a-507, require as part of the development approval that the proportional share of the community wide trail system running through their site be provided by the developer as a condition of approval. The proportional share may be provided by deed, easements or rights of way for the community wide public trail system managed by the Snyderville Basin special recreation district. When new development applications require community benefits in exchange for increased density as a condition of approval, trail dedication and/or construction will qualify in the criteria to be considered. Trail construction shall be consistent with the design guidelines of the Snyderville Basin recreation district and the Snyderville Basin trails master plan and community wide trail system development standards.
3. Developments shall connect an internal trail system to community wide trail systems where possible. The space dedicated in trails may be included in the calculation of the open space, as otherwise provided in this title. (Ord. 780, 8-22-2012)
