A. Memorandum Of Understanding Required: Although the County endeavors to provide reasonable and appropriate infrastructure and services which adequately serve allowed land uses in Eastern Summit County, certain new buildings/structures and developments, because of location, will not be easily served by the County or special districts. If a person chooses to construct a new residential or commercial structure, or obtain development approval in areas removed from the County's primary infrastructure and service area, the developer/owner shall acknowledge in writing (titled "memorandum of understanding") at the time of development approval, or in the instance of a previously platted lot at the time of building permit issuance for a new structure, the following:
The property owner acknowledges that he/she is building in a location that is far removed from the primary Summit County service areas. As such, the property owner is on notice that there is limited access, infrastructure and public services in the area. Some services, which include, but are not limited to, garbage pick up and school bus service, will not be provided. Emergency response time will be longer than it is in more accessible areas, and access by emergency vehicles may be impossible at times due to snow and road conditions. The owner understands and acknowledges that there may be infrastructure in these remote locations that does not meet adopted county infrastructure standards. 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 Eastern Summit County. 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 risks of occupancy as outlined above, and is hereby put on notice that there are no anticipated changes in the levels of services or infrastructure by either Summit County or the appropriate special service district, nor does the property owner expect changes beyond those identified herein.
B. Recording: This acknowledgment shall be deemed to run with the land and, as such, shall be recorded at the developer/owner's expense in the records of the County Recorder to provide notice to future property owners regarding service level expectations. (Ord. 708, 12-10-2008)
