Show Letters ' structures with copies but rather with structures which compliment the basic lines ' and styles of those times. Current techiques and code requirements put new construction con-struction in an obviously different place than that of the old. It is impossible to truly re-create. Anything less insults, not only our common heritage, but also the integrity of our current times. Concerning the proposed changes to the Land Management Man-agement Code, I sense that few object to its purpose of encouraging more innovation and variety over the lot to lot syndrome. Any ordinance changes are always fraught with the possibility of not quite satisfying it's purpose. The reason for the current changes is that the old rules do not work to preserve the historical character. Just as the various architectural styles reflect the changes in our culture, so must our community objective. We : can best show these objectives objec-tives by encouraging the kind of variety that was common in our past. As Park City grows in it's development, develop-ment, I also believe it should grow in dealing with recognition recogni-tion of the' historically important while also giving credit to our present and our future. The proposed changes reflect a solid step toward Park City's goals and its future. Living and working in Park City for six years, I recognize that for this to remain a working town, rather than to become another "tourist attraction" or "exclusive resort", Park City should develop as a community to be recognized now as it was 100 years ago. I commend our elected and our appointed appoint-ed officials for pursuing - these goals. Paul de Groot Thanks For Help Dear Editor: On behalf of myself and my roommates David Smith and Steven Lloyd, I wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to all who helped us during the fire in our home. Very special thanks to the Park City Fire Dept. whose quick and conscientious service kept almost all of our belongings intact. Their consideration for our property was most appreciated. More thanks and love go out to all of our friends who helped us move and clean up the mess: David Knight, -Threse, Richard, Marie, Terry, Jane, Elaine, Lisa, Patricia, Brian, Eric, Kelly and Curtis. Even more thanks to Lisa, Jeff and Therese for sharing their home with us. And final thanks to Milehi's and Red Banjo Pizza for generously donating dinner for us all. Though a tragedy, it was much easier to live through due to the willing cooperation coopera-tion of all. Community spirit is alive and well in Park City. Thank You! Lauren Weitzman deGroot Speaks Dear Editor: In the effort of promoting my views in regards to upcoming events concerning the Historic District and its Commission, of which I am a member, I would like to offer the following for consideration. considera-tion. I believe the trend of instigating contemporary styles of new construction in Park City exemplifies the uniqueness of our town. Older construction reflects a style of community living which made an important statement about those times. Complimentary structures should give credit to our past and in the process achieve the continuity of an active town which is as unique today as it was in the past.-1 believe that the best approach ap-proach is to be considerate rather than to replicate and consequently show our heritage. heri-tage.
