Copper Mountain in Summit County Colorado will present its plan to shift about 590 units of yet to be built housing within the resort's base area and add a large condo-hotel project to the mix during a two-day hearing this week in front of the Tenmile Planning Commission.
Copper also wants to eliminate 42,000 square feet of set aside commercial density and relocate another 72,000 square feet of commercial space for shops, restaurants and service facilities to areas that will be closer to current uses and walk
ing paths. The plan anticipates about 1.5 acres of wetlands at the resort to be effected. This has been and can be a deal breaker in the past, but Copper will be restoring an additional 3 acres of wetlands to meet the 2-1 ratio required.
A few key changes have been made since the county commissioners last looked at the master plan amendment in a work session in December 2007. As part of a community benefits package, Copper proposes to redirect part of an existing real estate transfer assessment to community purposes including affordable housing, open space and early childhood care.
The resort currently charges a 1.5 percent real estate transfer assessment on all residential property within the resort. Under the latest proposal, .25 percent of the current assessment would be designated to community purposes which could raise as much as 1 million dollars annually. The assessment fees would apply to all as-yet undeveloped density at Copper. Copper officials are selling the proposal as a balanced and well thought out plan.
The latest version of the plan also speeds up the timing of a proposed employee housing development at East Lake, requiring construction of all the units within 42 months of the effective date of the approval for the base area redevelopment. Under the old plan the employee housing would have been phased in over 
time.
A condo-hotel that was originally proposed for a floodplain location along Tenmile Creek would now be relocated to the Union Creek area.
In 2007 Copper officials got the green light from the commission only to be sent back to the drawing board by the County Commissioners. Copper is looking for to get a go ahead from the commission and could then go to the Board of County Commissioners later this summer for final approval.
Copper has been looking to make major changes to the base area plan since 2001, when the resort submitted what was then called a comprehensive development strategy that would have included significant amounts of new density to the resort base area. The Tenmile Planning Commission recommended approval in 2003, but the county commissioners denied the application in July 2004.

At the March 26, 2008, Council Meeting, the Silverthorne Town Council approved an agreement to partner with Red Mountain Village, LLC, to provide a mix of affordable and market rate housing on a 51 acre site commonly referred to as the Smith Ranch. The Town is currently negotiating with Red Mountain Village to craft a development agreement which will provide a mix of affordable and attainable market rate housing, all of similar size and design. If a development agreement is agreed to by June 30, 2008, the Town will then negotiate an acceptable planned unit d
evelopment agreement, as well as an annexation agreement to bring the development within Town limits.
Silverthorne's Town Council has always envisioned this land as an affordable neighborhood for full-time residents, and this agreement secures the property for that purpose. The approved agreement outlines a process by which Red Mountain Village can work in partnership with the Town to bring an affordable housing development to Silverthorne," stated Mayor Dave Koop. Mayor Koop added, "We are looking forward to getting public input on this topic. Once the Town has negotiated an acceptable development agreement, we will begin our development process review which provides many opportunities for public input."
Affordable housing is crucial to the area. Homes and property values contiue to increase in Silverthorne and throughout Summit County. Avalible land is running out as we near total build-out. As this project moves forward Deanna and I believe it will ensure people that work in our community will live in our community.

A Silverthorne Colorado community garden board has been established and planning is underway to bring to fruition the community garden concept proposed by the Economic Development Advisory Committee's WOW Sub-Committee. One of EDAC's goals is
to provide recommendations on beautification options in Silverthorne, and a community garden was determined by the WOW subcommittee to be one such option. EDAC members Larry Lunceford, Eddie O'Brien, and Marc Hogan initially brought forth the concept of a community garden in April 2007. Town Council indicated in June 2007 that if community leadership and administration, private funding, and an appropriate site plan could all be established the garden concept should be given consideration through the Town's site plan process.
Community members have begun diligently working toward this goal. Co-coordinators Linda Hrycaj and Marie Orlin are leading the garden board in their mission to create a working community garden that invites individuals and families from all backgrounds, regardless of gardening experience. The goal is to develop a hands-on garden that integrates education, creative expression, cooperation, and community spirit.
The proposed garden site is the grassy area at the southeast corner of Rainbow Drive and E. Fourth St.,across from the Silverthorne Recreation Center.

Silverthorne Colorado Information
After rapidly lowering for the last several weeks to make room for snow runoff, water levels in Dillon Reservoir in Summit County Colorado will begin to rise again this week.
Denver Water announced Thursday that it's dropping outflow to the Lower Blue from 800 to 500 cubic feet per second.
The main reason for the change is that the runoff from the South Platte drainage has been considerably less than projected. The snow seems to be melting at a slower pace than originaly anticipated.
Denver water has reported that as a result it may have to bring more water through the Roberts tunnel than previously thought.
The change will improve fly-fishing conditions in the Blue River below the dam and bring water levels up at the Frisco marina.
Local outfitters said the decreased outflow won't affect commercial rafting trips on the Lower Blue.

Deanna Long
Deanna was raised in the small ski community of Wrightwood California. While growing up with a love for the outdoors, she became an avid skier and eventually a ski instructor at Mountain High Ski Resort. Living in Wrightwood taught her the values of living in a small town. One day she meet a young man at her father's church that eventually became her husband, Jason. For their honeymoon they spent a week near Silverton Colorado and instantly fell in love with the wonder and beauty that is Colorado.

"One quality that really impressed me was that we never felt rushed to look quickly or decide quickly. I was impressed with how knowledgeable Deanna was about all things in and out of each house. I felt that She was truly trying to help us find a house that would suit our needs and bring happiness to my family. -Thomas & Becky G
We recently bought a new home through Jason and Deanna. Since we were not living in the area at the time, and were not even familiar with it, we thought that it may be a long and difficult process to find and purchase a home from long distance. But we were pleasantly surprised with the service that we received from Jason and Deanna. They helped us find a good neighborhood that suited our needs and a home that is just perfect for our family. We appreciated the quick responses we received to all of our questions. They were also very accommodating to our schedule, as we were so limited on time to come and tour homes. Without a doubt, we would use Jason again as our REALTOR®!" - Chet & Darlene R
"We couldn't have possibly had a better realtor. There is no one we will ever use again!" - Tom & Debbi P
Overall my real estate experience was effortless and timely! Deanna always put my interests first. She was very helpful in providing options on how to show my property. The best service she provided was her availability. I always had access to her. Very little demands were placed on me as a seller, it was an easy sale. I would definitely recommend friends and family to Deanna and the Long Group. - Richard D
Jason is one of the few real estate agents that I have dealt with who is truly interested in representing his clients in an honest and very competent manner. I was looking for a second home, and he spent many hours with me finding just the right home for our family. His years of experience helped me tremendously throughout the entire process. -Dave & Meg O
