The owner's of the resort went before the Town again last week to present a vision of where they believe the resort needs to go to be a viable 4 season resort. It entails DEVELOPMENT.
This is not something that should be terribly shocking to anyone. With the exception of a couple of new homes built in 2005 and the refurbishment of some of the Planned Unit Development buildings into time-shares, there has been no new product in the resort for some time. Mountain's Edge, the newest of the 3 condo developments is 22 years old.
Are the Owners really asking for too much here? New real estate projects are needed to be able to inject revenue, buzz, and excitement in to the resort.
The Town, of course, has the right and the obligation to carefuly examine the proposals and ensure that what the resort wants to do is permissible under current zoning regulations. But anyone who has been to one of these meetings can't help but come away with the feeling that many in the Town are stuck in a past thaat no longer exists and would deny the resort any expansion it needs to be able to compete with the larger ski areas close by.
Is this realistic? Is this fair?
