As a result of significant community input and careful consideration of over 1,800 comments submitted during the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) review process, Homewood Mountain Resort is pleased to report on several key adjustments that have been made to the ski area master plan.
Issue/Concern: South Base condominium buildings too large, scale not compatible with neighborhood, and too close to current homes.
Solution: Two out of three condominium buildings eliminated and replaced with a series of clustered, full-ownership mountain chalets. The result: a reduction of four residential units as compared to original plan and a design that is more in line with local scale and character. Additionally, the road will be narrowed and former parking areas will be landscaped and re-vegetated.
Issue/Concern: Day skier parking and workforce housing facility too close to existing homes and not compatible with neighborhood; also concerns about potential traffic issues for local neighbors.
Solution: Day skier parking and workforce housing facility moved to new location at the corner of Fawn Street and Highway 89. The new parking area will be completely concealed and surrounded by shop space and workforce housing. New entrance and exit location removes potential traffic impacts to local neighborhood. Architectural design more compatible with local neighborhood.
