THINC Site Updates

We would like to start off by thanking everyone who has visited this site and showed their support in the last couple of days.  We have had over 600 visitors in the last 48 hours!  Our member list is growing and we are getting some great comments and letters of support on the VOICE page.  We are making changes to the site every day so keep checking back for updated information and site improvements.  We are looking into an online petition and some other features that will help our letter writing campaign so check back for those updates.

There has been a venue change to the upcoming Planning Commission meeting in anticipation of a big public turn out:

The meeting will be held at the Yarrow Hotel in the Ivers Room on the second floor.  The Yarrow Hotel is located at 1800 Park Avenue.  The Planning Commission Work Session will begin at 5 pm on Wednesday, February 11, 2009.

PHOTOS  NEEDED

We have only received photos from a couple people so far.  Past and current photos will really help tell the story on Old Town streets.  Katie Cattan from the PC planning department has requested that we collect any and all photos to be submitted for the 2/11 meeting on traffic and safety.  She will put them on a disk and will make them available on a projector for presentation and discussion.  Send photos to thincpc@gmail.com.

LEGAL ASSISTANCE

We have begun meeting with potential legal council to assist in the efforts to help mitigate the impact of Treasure Hill.  There would be a cost associated with this and would require fundraising.  Let us know if there is interest in doing this?  You can comment on the VOICE page or write us directly.

THINC T-SHIRTS & STICKERS

We have had some people ask about t-shirts and stickers.  We love the idea and would like to see what you think.  Would you purchase a THINC t-shirt or bumper sticker?

We hope to see everyone at the meeting on Wednesday,

THINC

Letter Writing Campaign and City Contact Info

As I’m sure you know, the planned Treasure Hill development has the potential to dramatically change the look and feel of Old Town as well as detrimentally impact the quality of life for all those in Park City.  The planned development includes the largest convention center space in all of Park City.  Is this really the appropriate place for a convention center?  Also, the Sweeney’s are petitioning the city to allow time shares on the property even though it was not originally zoned for time share units.  All of this will only increase traffic on already narrow, congested and dangerous streets where pedestrians, pets and kids all have to share the roads with cars and trucks.

However, there are still many Park City residents that have no idea as to the impact that Treasure Hill will have on all of us.  To help in this cause, I have written Nan Chalat-Noaker the editor of the Park Record to encourage her to publish the renderings and more information about the development.

The next planning meeting on 2/11/09 will be a critical one as traffic and safety issues will be addressed.  This may be our only chance to voice our concerns regarding this important topic.  As such, I’d like to encourage all of us to attend that meeting to voice your opinions and concerns.

In addition, or if you cannot make the meeting, I’m hoping that all of us can take a few minutes to write your concerns to the city.  The planning staff and commissioners need our input if changes are to be made.

Below is a list of how to submit those comments and concerns via email:

Park City Planning Department and Park City Planning Commissioners
Katie Cattan – Planner
kcattan@parkcity.org
Phone (435) 615-5068
Fax (435) 615-4906

Katie states – “I have found letters and public input during the meetings to be the best way to communicate with the Planning Commission.  I am the City Planner assigned to the project and all letters should be sent directly to me through email or regular mail.  I am responsible for getting the letters to the Planning Commissioners. “

I would also encourage you to write directly to (or cc) our City Council members on Treasure Hill comments.  Here are their email addresses:

Candy Erickson
cerickson@parkcity.org

Jim Hier
jim@parkcity.org

Joe Kernan
jkernan@parkcity.org

Roger Harlan
rharlan@parkcity.org

Liza Simpson
liza@parkcity.org

You can also include a couple of other key city officials:

Dana Williams – Mayor
dana@parkcity.org

Tom Bakaly – City Manager
tom@parkcity.org

Finally, it would be great to send letters and comments for publication to the Park Record.

Park Record
Nan Chalat-Noaker – Editor
editor@parkrecord.com

Thanks again for your help and concern.
