Kerry Prochaska of Cornerstone Engineering and Surveying was present to represent the applicant. He stated the applicant does not feel they should pay for that portion of the trail/bike path in front of their property. He advised the property is already condominiumized and this is simply a name change. He feels it is excessive to require the applicant to pay for a trail that is currently planned by the Town for this fall. Director Joseph stated the applicant is vacating the first filing of the condomin^m map; and therefore nullifying the existing regime and starting with a new one. The applicant is also requesting a reservation for future development, which did not exist with the previous condominiumization. Chair Homeier questioned whether the location of the trail would be in I1]6 ri9hJ'°/‘ way or an easement. Mr. Prochaska stated the location of the trail would be within the right-of-way due to design considerations. Greg Siever, Facilities and Construction Manager, advised the final location for the trail has not been determined.

Staff has determined this is a minor utiiity, and therefore a permitted use in the “A" Accommodations zone district. Kerry Prochaska of Cornerstone Engineering and Surveying was present to represent the applicant. Bob Goehring, Utilities Superintendent, was also present. Mr. Prochaska stated the timing of construction from July to October is somewhat limiting. The Public Works committee approved the project so long as the construction was completed by March; therefore construction would have to take place during the winter months. He would like the opportunity to work with the Department of Wildlife to see if they can reach a compromise regarding construction during the winter months. Director Joseph spoke with Rick Spowart, District Wildlife Manager, regarding the state of the bighorn sheep. Mr. Spowart feels the sheep have been in a precarious state for some time and are still at risk for stress related mortality. Mr. Spowart also indicated that he would be willing to be flexible and could allow construction a month on either end of the suggested construction timeframe. Chair Homeier asked what the timeframe for construction is. Mr. Prochaska stated the construction would take place from September through March.
