The city is interested in acquiring the land as open space. The Park City Citizen's Open Space Advisory Board Monday discussed dis-cussed ongoing negotiations with United Park City Mines about purchasing pur-chasing a 75-acre mining company parcel. COSAC members Jim Hier and Bob Richer met with UPCM President Hank Rothwell and Vice President Rory Murphy last week to talk about the appraised price of the parcel. The parcel sits beyond the King Road gate and overlooks Old Town. The land, UPCM claims, would be prime ski-in, ski-out property. The parcel also lies between the heavily traveled trails Sweeney Switchbacks, John's Trail and Gravediggers Trail. UPCM has considered developing develop-ing the parcel, which could potentially poten-tially hold four to nine single-family home sites. The area, though, is within the Park City Land Management Code's sensitive-lands designation. UPCM approached the Park City Planning Department with the preliminary pre-liminary sketch plans last year. Planning Department officials then suggested that the area may be suitable suit-able for the open-space committee's consideration. UPCM then went to COSAC with a proposal. An appraisal was jointly funded to determine a target price. Hier and Richer reported to the COSAC board last Tuesday that, while the meeting went well with UPCM, they felt that the appraisal came in at about twice the amount they expected. "We had lunch to see what kind of common ground there was. We let them know that we're open, and if they have other ideas or concepts we'd love to talk," UPCM's Murphy said in an interview. The open-space committee was formed by the city to recommend land purchases that can be bought with proceeds of a $10 million open-space open-space bond passed overwhelmingly by voters in 1998. Other topics covered by the open-space committee at its meeting meet-ing included receiving an update about a development at Quinn's Junction. Board members heard from Community Development Director Rick Lewis about Quinn's Junction. A concern was the impending but not formally processed r annexation proposal from the Park City Country Club Estates devetop- Lewis reported that, while Park City would favorably consider a petition for annexation from the group, he had many questions and reservations about the project. Lewis hopes to see a cooperative effort between the county and the city to create a land-use map in that area that is appropriate for both. "There are now six stoplights on the way to Kimball Junction which could mean that the Quinn's Junction area may prove to be a important corridor for those coming into Park City," he said. Tough debate surrounds Games sign Location of welcome sign continues to draw heat; Bodell labels the idea a "crime" by Jay HambuTfler , ofthf. re:o City Hairs' ldea;ioferect a welcome wel-come sign identifying Park City as a 2002 Winter Olympic city encountered encoun-tered more opposition this week. On Thursday, after debates in front of the Park City Council and the Citizens Open Space Advisory Committee, the City Council instructed city staffers to continue researching the sign, especially where it may stand. The sign, known as an Olympic welcome sign, has sparked a debate in the community whether it is necessary nec-essary and where it would be best located. An idea to put it on the Richards parcel, a swath of land purchased pur-chased by the city using proceeds from its 1998 open-space bond, has drawn heated opposition. The City Council indicated that it wanted information about an alternate alter-nate location at S R. 224 and Payday Drive. Detractors of the Richards location again spoke on Thursday. Sandra Morrison, head of the Park City Museum, continued to question the sign's location. City Councilwoman Peg Bodell also ton-tinned ton-tinned to express opposition. "To put a sign in that open space is absolutely a crime," Bodell said. Earlier in the week, the open-space open-space committee, which recommended recom-mended the Richards purchase, talked about the sign. Committee member Dana Williams, who represents repre-sents Citizens Allied for Responsible Growth on the committee, commit-tee, said the sign on the Richards property is inappropriate. "I think that signs of any kind on open space go against the spirit of the bond," Williams said. At the City Council meeting, though, there were supporters. Jan Wilking of the Park City ChamberBureau said the sign would help identify Park City and the Olympic tie-in is wise. "We have to capitalize on having the Olympics here," Wilking said. The proposed sign - a 12-foot-long by 6-foot-high welcoming feature fea-ture that would rec6gnize the city's role in the Games - is part of an overall plan to revise the city's signs. Already, a few older signs have been replaced with ones that sport the city's Olympic emblem. Public Affairs Director Myles Rademan, who is spearheading the city's effort to build the sign, said he ' wants a -sign-that is large enough Mffl be visible to motorists heading!iritD'! the city. Earlier in the month; several sever-al members of the Park City Planning Commission said . they opposed the idea. Some have argued that the city does not need the sign because there are already Olympic-flavored monuments mon-uments on the entry corridor. One is a set of flags on S.R. 224 and a designation des-ignation of the city as an Olympic venue and another is the new Olympic Welcome Plaza. "In my mind, we already have three entryway signs ... I question creating another one," tCity Councilwoman Candy Erickson said, adding, "We're trying to cut back on clutter." But Mayor Brad Olch countered that the existing signs do not accomplish accom-plish what a new sign would. . . "Yes we do have those signs but I think they're ineffective for what we want," Olch said.
