AUTHORITY BUSINESS Amended Development Plan for Trout Pond and Additional Building: Notice of a public hearing was published in the Trail Gazette and posted on the notice board. The public hearing was opened. Director Anderson reported that on March 19, 1992, the Authority held a public hearing and review of the recreation pond located on the premises of the Elkhorn Lodge, and the Board found that plan to be in compliance. The property owner has now submitted a revised development plan to add a building adjacent to the pool area to be used for tack and storage plus a bunkhouse for wranglers. This building was purchased from the U.S. Forest Service and does not currently have heating or plumbing. The owner indicated he did not plan to install heating or plumbing at this time. Building Inspector Allman reported that the Uniform Building Code requires that all dwelling and lodging buildings are to include a bathroom, complete with sink, lavatory and either a bathtub or shower. Any building moved within the Town limits without such requirements are to be brought up to code within 180 days. There has been a history, however, of requests such as this being granted and the owners not fulfilling this requirement. Applicant Zahourek reported that this building has been inspected and exceeds all structural code requirements. He presented to the Board an amendment to his amended plan that includes the installation of bathroom facilities by Winter 1993. Applicant Zahourek also added that this building would be repainted following the color scheme of the rest of the existing buildings. Applicant Zahourek requested that, because time is critical, all decisions regarding the approval be made quickly. There are two Commissioner concerns. The applicant has not included information showing elevations, color schemes, etc., to complete the plan submission. The Board also feels approval of building code variances should be completed through the Planning Commission before consideration by the EPURA Board. The public hearing was closed.

This involves construction of a 25,000 square foot building at a cost of $2.5 million and the construction of a parking ramp.

Many areas of concern include the new location, the added exit and entrance traffic to Highway 36, the need for a parking ramp, and the possible coordination with the Art Center and their future needs. Commissioner Klaphake added that the Community Development Committee agreed that approval of the concept plan was premature at this time and recommended any decision be postponed, requesting a further review by staff. No action was taken by the Board.
