II: PLANNING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
1. NPP Wetlands: The Ponds were given the date of 10/15 to present a solution to the wetlands issue. The Ponds HOA sent their response directly to the Army Corp and we are waiting for a decision from the Army Corp at this point.
2. Home Depot: Sketch Plan has been revised to include a signalized intersection at Wildernest Road and Stephens Way. There will not be a secondary bridge. There will be a community meeting on 10/28 for reviewing access. SPORTˇ¦S concern remains the same, pedestrian and bicycle safety! Too much traffic for pedestrian/bicycle access. A unanimous decision from SPORT is the request for an underpass at the signalized intersection.
3. SPORT members walked the proposed Silver Trout development site prior to the meeting. This plan goes before Council on Wednesday, 10/22. SPORT Committee concerns include sidewalk, fishing access/parking, and access to Town owned property.
III: OLD BUSINESS
1. Swift Skedaddle marketing continues, hitting as many of the free publications and websites as possible. Mindy has submitted the application to become a Regional Qualifier.
2. Budget: Since the SPORT Committee has no immediate plans for a mini project this year, Joanne asked if the Committee would consider purchasing two nets and lines for the sand volleyball courts. Estimated cost is $426, the Committee agreed. A second purchase may be additional signage for the Nordic Trail. John will inventory current signs.
3. Nordic Center Equipment Purchase: The new sled has been ordered and should be delivered in early November. Joanne is close to signing the contract. Contract dates are December 15, 2008-March 15, 2009.
4. Friends of the Dillon Ranger District: Offered assistance with trail projects, this may be possible next June or July in conjunction with the Angler Mtn. to the Forest Service trail.
5. Rainbow Park Master Plan update: This is a 2009 goal and Nathan was interested in taking this on as a school project, however it most likely will not happen due to Professor requirements. This will be a 6-8 month project. Options to go forward would be to have SPORT take this on with the help of Community Development/Susan, however she will be going on maternity leave soon and not returning until March, or do we hire a consultant for around $50,000? Public Works has money to replace some playground equipment next year in Rainbow so Joanne will get with Bill regarding plans to replace while keeping in mind the need to update the Master Plan.
IV: NEW BUSINESS / PRESENTATIONS:
1. Policy discussion: Ice Fishing on NPP: The SPORT Committee unanimously voted to PROHIBIT ice fishing. Joanne will recommend to Council to modify rules and regulations.
