Movie Studio Likely in Park City!

Wow, this has been a long time coming, but it appears Park City and Summit County have come to an agreement regarding Raleigh Studios coming to Park City. Quinn's Junction is at the corner of the US 40 fwy and the SR 248 ( Kearns Blvd). See article below:

TO BRING RALEIGH STUDIOS TO QUINNS JUNCTION

Developer to petition Park City to annex land into corporate limits.

Park City, Utah; January 18, 2012

Summit County and Park City officials have reached an agreement with developer Greg Ericksen to bring Raleigh Studios to Quinns Junction area. This announcement comes after more than a year of discussions with Mr. Ericksen on the development of a movie studio, entertainment center, hotel and digital medial complex by Raleigh Studios. General terms of the settlement agreement include project size, adherence to local design guidelines and safeguard the Sundance Film Festival.

One key term of the settlement agreement is an application by Mr. Ericksen to annex the property into Park City. The property is located just outside the Park City corporate limits, southeast of the intersection of State Route 248 and U.S. 40. “The City fought against this project for many years,” said City Manager Tom Bakaly. “Over that past year it became increasingly apparent that the high level of interest in this project by the Utah Legislature, coupled with the pending lawsuit between Mr. Ericksen and Summit County, made it highly likely that a movie studio would be built in the Quinns Junction area.” Given these circumstances it is in our best interest to work with Mr. Ericksen and Raleigh Studios in order to accomplish community goals that “support the lodging industry, protect the Sundance Film Festival from unfair competition, and make this project fit as best as possible with area design guidelines and the Park City brand.”

County Manager Bob Jasper further explained that “while the project will have greater density than our zoning allows on that site, we are pleased to have this lawsuit dismissed and to begin a new chapter with Mr. Ericksen and Raleigh Studios.”
 

If the annexation into Park City is approved, the settlement agreement would allow a movie studio, entertainment center, hotel and digital medial complex of up to 374,000 gross square feet of density subject to the following limitations:

 

The hotel would be limited to 100 rooms and 100 total keys;

The entire project would be built to LEED standards;

Mr. Ericksen and Raleigh Studios cannot cause any harm to Sundance, and

Raleigh Studios will have to comply with design guidelines included in the agreement. The guidelines are such that the movie studio’s look and feel would be similar to the surrounding buildings, such as the hospital. Additionally, the City’s Planning Department would be heavily involved in the review of the design.

If the annexation is turned down by the Park City Council after a review by the Park City Planning Commission, the project would revert to Summit County for a movie studio, entertainment center, hotel and digital media complex of up to 355,000 gross square feet of density.

The Summit County Manager has approved the Settlement Agreement. The Park City Council will review and possibly approve the Park City Annexation Addendum to the Settlement Agreement and accept the annexation petition on January 26, 2012. Bakaly added that “staff will recommend that the Park City Council and Planning Commission consider the agreement and public annexation process as a way to accomplish our greater community goals.”

Quinns Junction is located at the intersection of State Route 248 and US 40. It is home to Intermountain Healthcare Hospital, the National Ability Center, the United States Ski and Snowboard Association, Physicians Healthcare, the Park City Ice Arena & Sports Complex, Summit County Health Department and People’s Health Clinic.

Canyons/Solitude Tram update

Excerpts from the Park Record article:

Proponents of the proposed SkiLink went to Washington, D.C., this week to begin laying the groundwork for a gondola that would link Canyons ski resort with Solitude.


Meanwhile, on the Utah home front, opponents of the project have been mustering their own forces and are characterizing the project as a potential environmental catastrophe.

Representatives of the ski industry have long argued that connecting the area's resorts would be a boon to tourism and the state's economy. In this case, they also suggest the link could reduce traffic in Big Cottonwood Canyon and over Parley's Summit. Environmentalists, though, say it would open up the remaining backcountry to development and destroy a vital watershed.

But what if the two sides were able to negotiate a compromise, one that could actually reduce traffic and offer skiers

I believe this tram would only help Park City's economy by making our resorts even more desirable by linking with the other side of the Wasatch Mountains.

Selling your Home? A few things NOT to do!

So, you're thinking about putting your home on the market. Good Idea!

A few things you don't want to do:


Don’t allow Deferred Maintenance ruin your chances of selling.

Ever hear the term “Deferred Maintenance”? What exactly does that mean anyway?

Deferred Maintenance is a nice way of referring to household maintenance that has not been kept up on or done. As a buyer walks through your home, they are falling in love with the floorplan, with how their family will live in this home and starting to imagine their furniture in there, right? Maybe. They also are walking through noticing all the repairs needed to your home and getting a sour taste in their mouth wondering what needs attention that they can’t see.

What to do? Have a friend walk your home and look for cosmetic items with a buyer’s eye for items that look dirty or worn- paint, carpet, dirty vents, crumbling grout etc. They will see things you have walked past for years. If you really want to make sure deferred maintenance does not become an issue once your home is for sale, get an inspection and fix whatever comes up on the inspection. You won’t catch every single item, but you have a good chance of the sale not falling out because of the condition of your home.

The next big one:

Disclose everything!!! Even if you think it is inconsequential.

Your agent should impress upon you the importance of disclosing everything. If they try to tell you that basement flooding or the car sliding down the driveway into the dining room isn't worth disclosing, RUN!

Case in point – had a home under contract recently. It was my buyer’s dream home. The seller filled out the required seller’s disclosure form, which indicated no known problems with the home in a number of categories. During the inspection a sizable water intrusion was discovered. Water stains on the baseboards and eventually mold was found near the source of the intrusion.

My buyer ‘s first reaction was to wonder what else they were hiding. What else was wrong with this home that the seller was not telling us about? The seller suddenly remembered an occasion where water came in through the window during a heavy rain season. Amazing how that works! The water intrusion is discovered and miraculously they remember it. Cynical? Maybe, or maybe just a reasonable reaction to an unfortunate situation. Not an insurmountable situation, just one that leaves the buyer uneasy.

In this case, if the seller had not allowed this water intrusion become Deferred Maintenance ( they did not remedy the situation as they could have) and disclosed the water intrusion and what they did to remedy it, this sale may have been saved. Now, the buyer must start over in their search for a home and the seller starts over looking for a new buyer. Hopefully they will amend their seller’s disclosure to lawfully show the issues at hand and maybe even fix them prior to the next buyer discovering them.

As a seasoned Realtor, we see deferred maintenance all the time. It doesn’t necessarily kill every sale, but it can put a seed of doubt in a buyer’s mind. How refreshing  it is to list a home where it is evident the owner has taken care of it and in a timely manner. Sure makes our job easier, and the sale of the home a stronger possibility. In Park City we find buyers from out of the area will respond better to a home that needs less attention. It is usually too difficult to have repairs and remodeling done from a long distance.

The Moral of this story:
Maintain your home, get all items fixed prior to listing and DISCLOSE!

Park City Mountain Opening Day

It was awesome! We got about 6-12 inches last night, so we knew it would be ok. We didn't expect to have so much fun. Yes, I should have been holding an open house or 2, but I couldn't resist. Only 2 runs open, but plenty of fun.

If you had a residence here in Park City, you could have been here today too! Contact me for some excellent property deals!
