Matthew Prince, the state's richest man, began demolition on two houses on a lot he owns in Park City as hurdles are being cleared enabling him to build a massive and controversial home overlooking Main Street Park City.
“There’s no joy in Mudville,” says opponent, as construction of Matthew Prince’s controversial sprawling house moves a step closer to reality., began demolishing two homes on his property overlooking Park City, the latest step in his ongoing effort to build a sprawling mansion on the mountainside of the resort community.
“The bottom line is there’s no joy in Mudville,” Eric Hermann, one of Prince’s neighbors who has been leading the opposition to the construction, said Friday. “We haven’t decided if we’re going to take it to the 3rd District Court yet, but I think really until it gets beyond the city, it seems unlikely that there will be a full review of the overall project.”
Hermann, his wife, Susan, and other opponents have argued Prince’s home is too big, too tall to comply with zoning and the overall character of the neighborhood. They say it is being built in a place that is steeper than allowed and that access to the home is blocked by an easement that cuts across the property.All that is left, meanwhile, of the two side-by-side houses that stood on the property is rubble.
Park City issued the demolition permit for the structures July 11, according to city spokesperson Clayton Scrivner, after determining the request met the city’s criteria.
