Destination Resort at the Lion's Back?
Apparently two individuals have contracted with SITLA to lease the Lion's Back Campground (80 acres) and have an additional adjacent 100 acres optioned for the development of what would seem to be a fairly large-scale destination resort.
Included in the tentative proposal are 150 individual units (whether this means 150 distinct buildings or fifty 3-bedroom units or some other manifestation is unclear) on the Lion's Back parcel, but it's also not clear if they are part of a hotel, or are to be sold individually, in which case the County regulations permit nightly rentals.
20 Single-family lots are proposed for the adjacent parcel.
None of this has been discussed by the county planning and zoning commission; I anticipate that there will indeed be some dialogue about this at the upcoming meeting (Wednesday 1/12, 6PM).
Does this seem familiar to anyone?

ASK A SILLY QUESTION...
pre-a) what does "apparently" mean? where is this info from? is it true?
a) who is it, when do they want to do it, how far has it gone, can it be stopped, and what would it look like?
b) this would be worse than the 2-stroke-infested, broken-glass-strewn, half-assed trailer park that exists there now because...? again, who is it, what would it look like, etc. if it's going to be 150 parking garages for 600 ATVs, for instance, that would be waaaaaay worse in my book than 37.5 fourplexes for low-income families with bicycles and hybrid vehicles... of course, i'm a snob living in a fantasy world. it's a known fact.
c) where would they get their water, what would happen with sewage and traffic, what would happen to access to the lands beyond any development - and what will they do with the jeep jammed into the crack?
d) apparently, we all should have seen the reaction when 'They' - that would be 'We' - corralled the sand flats recreation area for mountainbikers and campers... what goes around comes around, don't it?
fill me in here or via email and i'll see you at the meeting.

No plans on the table, simply concepts thus far. All that stuff's gotta be worked out.
And ps have you been to sand flats lately? It's hardly the benevolent domain of mountainbikers and campers: much of the time it's Jeepers and RV'ers. There's no exclusivity up there, with the exception of limiting the slickrock trail to two-wheeled vehicles, including motorized bikes.
