BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF SALT LAKE CITY,

WHEREAS, a joint "Report on Water Supply Protection and Recreational
Use of The Cottonwood Canyons" has been prepared for Salt Lake City,
Salt Lake County and the Chamber of Commerce Winter Sports sub-committee,

surrounding area consistent with the health and safety of those dependent
upon the adjacent water shed for water supply, and

tion of policy regarding the recreational development of the adjacent

development,
NOW, THEREFORE, this Board of Commissioners hereby adopts the
following policy which shall govern Salt Lake City with regard to present
and future development in the Big and Little Cottonwood and Parley's
areas:
1 . Orderly, well planned development in such areas consistent with
the recommendations of the above report are to be encouraged.
2. Development should not proceed more rapidly than sanitary
facilities permit and the construction of needed facilities should be
expedited.
3. All developments in said areas must conform to the rules and
regulations set up by the various branches of government for the pro-
tection of the natural resources in said areas and the further protection
of culinary water arising in said areas.

4. As recommended in the auove report, the Salt Lake City Board
of Commissioners urge that zoning regulations be prepared and adopted
by Salt Lake Count, as soon as possible to guarantee the orderly
development of these areas and so that the extent of development may
be better evaluated for the protection of all concerned. Further, no
development will be approved until such zoning has been effected.
5. Salt Lake City,through various exchange agreements, owns the
majority of the water arising in said areas and by reason of said agree-
ments is committed to defend and protect the title to such water.
6. Any person, firm, association or corporation desiring to purchase
any water which Salt Lake City may legally sell for use in the adjacent
canyon areas must comply with all provisions of this statement of policy.
7. Any person, firm, association or corporation desiring to purchase
water from Salt Lake City for use in the Big or Little Cottonwood or
Parley's areas must make ar application to the Salt Lake City Water Depart-
ment for such purchase before any development is commenced. Such applica-
tion must fully disclose the plans for the proposed development and shall
be accompanied by a certificate from Salt Lake County that said plans
conform co the zoning regulations to be adopted by Salt Lake County. Said
application shall further contain an acknowledgement that any purchase
of water is made sub;ect to the rules and regulations of the Salt Lake
City Water Department and that any time the applicant fails to comply
with said rules and regulations the City may forthwith refuse to continue
the sale of water to such applicant.
a. Salt Lake City (as required by the aforementioned exchange
agreements) will vigorously defend the title to the waters arising in the
Big and Little Cottonwood and Parley's areas, and hereby publicly advises
all concerned that Salt Lake City owns or has the right to use substan-
tially all the water arising in said areas; that all water not owned by
Salt Lake City has been decreed to others and is being put to a beneficial
use to the full extent, if not in excess, of the decreed rights, and
that there is no water arising in said areas which is open to appropriation.
This Board of Commissioners feels that by establishing and making
R, 108.200 6-58 Q.P.
public this policy the development of the Big and Little Cottonwood
and Parley's areas will be encouraged and may proceed in an orderly
and well planned manner resulting in benefit to all residents of the
Salt Lake Valley.
