On November 4th a Candidate of Ideas -Not Innuendoes Another Approach to Parking and Transportation, Main Street and Old Town Because I believe those who criticize and disagree have an obligation to help fashion solutions, I would like to put forth the following ideas as a way of helping to generate some new approaches to what is clearly a contentious issue. 1. The Transportation Dept. is saying that it won't implement Parking meters until a week before the Sundance Festival ( what I have to believe couldn't be a worse time to sow confusion among one of our largest 10 days of crowded conditions in Old Town ). Therefore, I ask the Council to formally delay the implementation and institute a series of well publicized local meetings under the leadership of Rick Lewis, Director of Community Development, and his staff during the Winter and early Spring to address ALL issues on the future of Old Town, transportation and parking to come up with a COMPREHENSIVE plan. 2. The following should in my judgment be a part of that agenda. a. Why should the City build more parking? The Park City Mt. Resort and Deer Valley will shortly embark on expansion programs that will probably add over 5,000 parking spaces in Park City. Why not negotiate a joint City-Ski Resort (include the Canyons) agreement agree-ment to utilize some of that space during non-skiing time and off-season as our central parking for visitors. b. Implement continuous bus service using pollution free natural gas vehicles. vehi-cles. Use buses the size of those used at airports by Rent-a-Car companies. They could go to and from the lots into Old Town and Main Street as well as each of the ski resorts. It has to be cheaper for the city to do this than spend $6-$ 12 million on new structures on Swede Alley. c. Reserve the China Bridge garage, the lot at the Brew Pub, Sandridge and the parking spaces between the garage and the Post Office for employees employ-ees and residents for free parking (after all it's our tax dollars that have put them there!). Car stickers get you access. d. Use the Parking between the Post Office and Heber Avenue behind the stores as a 30 minute zone for drop off and short term business use area -access to the Ski shops, the florist, etc. e. With the FULL INVOLVEMENT of the Main St. merchants and restaurants, study the feasibility of closing Main St. to vehicular traffic and creating a pedestrian mall. These are my thoughts. I know others, including members of the City planning staff and the Council have their ideas. It's time to bring together all of us who care to create a solution solu-tion all of us can support. WATTING ONE MORE SEASON FOR A PLAN SUPPORTED BY ALL IS WORTH FAR MORE TO OUR TOWN THAN $80,000 IN REVENUE AND A DIVIDED, ANGRY COMMUNITY. ATTEND THE CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC MEETING ON THURSDAY, OCT. 30TH AT MARSAC - 6 P.M. and LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD. ON NOV. 4TH A VOTE FOR MIKE ANDREWS IS A VOTE FOR NEW IDEAS AND YOUR INVOLVEMENT -A RESPONSIBLE, RESPONSIVE VOICE. iiHfr " IHIrt (I M' si 111 Paid for by Andrews Campaign, Frank Normile, Chairnaii, P.O. Box 2936, Park City, UT 84060 Minorities in P.C. will get candidates' attention Continued from A-5 Park City are not left out during the Games. Harlan wants to have Olympic athletes visit local schools and has said he will try to secure tickets to Olympic events for Park City kids. , More race relations in Park City As described previously, Robert Bussen of Park City's Saint Mary's Catholic Church rather forcefully admonished Park City's candidates to address issues that are related to the city's Latino residents. The four City Council candidates candi-dates all agree that the city must work with its Latino residents to try to better the quality of life of Latinos in Park City. Writing of the city's role in race relations, Andrews states: "They have a greater responsibility responsi-bility to be the prime movers in organizing and bringing together the churches, businesses, landlords, land-lords, and various community groups to deal with issues that involve people and their con cerns, fears, hopes and dreams." Andrews also called for the creation of a Department of Community Affairs in the Park-City Park-City government. Such a department, depart-ment, which he wants to replace the current public-affairs department, depart-ment, would act as a liaison between the city and its residents resi-dents for such matters as race relations. Kerr's assessment of Park City's Latino community is more pragmatic. Although she states that "it appears that there is some level of bigotry in our community com-munity against Hispanic residents," resi-dents," Kerr said the city can only do so much to intervene. Issues such as immigration laws are not under the jurisdiction jurisdic-tion of Park City and, thus, the Park City Police Department has its hands tied when it comes to enforcing such laws, Kerr has written. Harlan has written that he does not feel there has been an increase in the level of bigotry in Park City in recent months. But, Harlan also has written that many in Park City have the ability abil-ity to hide any notions of bigotry because of their education level. "It's very difficult to determine deter-mine the level of bigotry that exists in Park City," Harlan has written. Eric Hoffman, though, has written that the Park City government gov-ernment absolutely needs to take a stronger role in the Hispanic community. "... I believe that City Hall needs to take a leadership role in combatting these 'voices' of racism," Hoffman has written. The builder's bible, again The four City Council candidates candi-dates generally agree that building build-ing codes in the Old Town area of Park City should hot be greatly great-ly loosened. Andrews, in fact, is the only candidate who has written that, if the general public is in favor of the new code, he would support sup-port the public's view as a Council member. "I will, if elected, support any plan which has such consensus, but I will not be a party to imposing a solution developed without that involvement and agreement," Andrews has writ-; ten. ( The remaining three candi- dates all oppose any changes to the Land Management Code , that would allow larger buildings ' in Old Town. . "I can't see why building s restrictions in Old Town should be loosened . . . ," Hoffman has ' written. "If Old Town is the 'jewel' of Park City, let's keep what's left of it intact." Kerr has flatly written: "I do ' not support any changes that result in increased mass of structures struc-tures within the Historic ', District." ; T-Tarlan wniiM hp wart rf making large changes to the Land Management Code, but he has written that he would con- ; sider any specific recommenda- tions that are proposed by the ; city's Planning Department staff. "I, along with the rest of the Council, would evaluate the " merits," Harlan has written.

These costs include the "points" you pay on your mortgage loan, title and hazard insurance, the titje search, legal fees, and other charges imposed by the lender. These charges vary by state and county, but they usually represent a considerable amount of money. When you begin your search for a new home in the Park City area, your Realtor can give you information about the closing costs in your area. You can use this information as a guideline. When you apply for a loan, the lender is required to provide you with a "good faith" estimate of the closing costs. This figure is usually very close to the actual amount, since the sales contract will have the price and terms of your new home spelled out. As the closing approaches, your Realtor will give you a final figure for the check that you will bring to the closing table.
