Ownership of trail transfers from feds to Saratoga Springs February 21, 2018, 1:29 pmThe 7.012-acre trail adjacent to Wiltshire Estates and the Saratoga Springs sub area, alongside Utah Lake has been owned by the Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands. The trail has been built by various developments over the years and now FFSL wants the city to be responsible for its maintenance. As such, on December 5, the city council agreed to enter into a memorandum of understanding with FFSL whereby the FFSL issued a quit claim deed on the property, essentially selling it to the city for $10 each for 10 parcels. FFSL has other parcels where the trail has not been developed that it would like to work with the city to get the trail built in these areas once remaining property ownership issues are resolved. This would make the city the sole adjacent land owner to Utah Lake. Public Works Director Jeremy Lapin told the council that as the adjacent property owner it was important for the city for control of lake access and trail management for the public benefit. Currently, the trail is maintained by the SSD HOA as subcontractor pursuant to the Master Development Agreement. This arrangement would continue after the city acquired ownership. FFSL is working on additional dedications along the trail where gaps currently exist.
