  • Request to Waive Filing Deadline for Construction Permit Application
    REQUEST TO WAIVE FILING DEADLINE FOR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT APPLICATION Brigham Young University (“BYU”), licensee of non-commercial educational television station KBYU-TV, Provo, Utah (the “Station”), has determined it is unable to construct the post- Incentive Auction facilities assigned to the Station in the Closing and Reassignment PN.1 Accordingly, the Station hereby requests a waiver of the initial construction permit application deadline for reassigned stations so that the Station — in coordination with the seven other television stations co-located with the Station (together, the “Utah Stations”) — may apply for alternate facilities in the first priority window.2 Each of the Utah Stations that is being repacked concurrently is filing a parallel waiver request. In addition, the Station and each other repacked Utah Station concurrently is filing a request to modify the Utah Stations’ transition schedule to allow the Utah Stations to begin the testing of their post-Auction channels earlier than is contemplated in the Commission’s current Phase 1 schedule, on a rolling basis. Grant of these waivers will serve the public interest by allowing the Utah Stations to efficiently construct post-Auction facilities while maintaining service to their communities. Moreover, the waivers requested in this filing and the parallel filings by other Utah Stations, and the alternate facilities for which the Utah Stations intend to apply, will not impede or delay any other station’s post-Auction transition or cause additional interference to any station.

  • The University of Utah Campus Master Plan
    THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 3. Discovery CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Introduction During the Discovery and Analysis phase of this pro- cess the University’s current physical campus structure, buildings, infrastructure systems, transportation and transit use, housing needs and academic space assess- ment were examined. It was the goal of this phase of the work to gain as much understanding regarding the campus’ existing conditions and operations as possible in order to glean the major planning issues that needed to be addressed in a comprehensive campus master plan. The documentation of the analysis phase of discovery is presented in one of three sections of this overall document. The analysis that can simply be reported and those recommendations that can be outlined in a summary fashion for further implementation strategies that will be discussed later in the book. The analysis is presented in this chapter. When the analysis and information gathering defines a very specific problem or issue that has been addressed by the Plan, this document presents that analysis and observational material in the “Plan Elements” or “Transformative Projects” chapters. This chapter orga- nization allows these issues and recommendation to be more closely tied. This decision also serves to minimize redundant information, which in a campus planning project of this size and complexity, would only serve to frustrate the reader. 3 – 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN The University of Utah 2008 (view east) 3 – 3 CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Campus Setting Wasatch Mountain Range Regional Context The product of 20 million years of The 1500-acre University of Utah campus is dramatical- The eastern and northern portions of the City are locat- geologic faulting, volcanic activity, and ly located at the foothills of a mountain valley with the ed on a series of terraces, or former beaches, which are glaciation, the Wasatch Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north.
