* Snowmobile Trail and Common Area
Discussion. The county allowed this trail. BVRI needs to help address the issues of the community once everyone is informed and has had a chance to provide input. Property owners have been informed of the meeting by the county (letters received as of 9/10) and will be additionally informed by the BVRI newsletter going out this week. If an acceptable alternative trail cannot be identified, the EIR process should address this issue.
Randy Mancini walked the snowmobile trail that has been under discussion with the County and community and reported on his findings. He indicated the trail does appear to be close to properties and that it's hard to see an alternative option to service the area that that particular trail services. On 9/7 Chuck proposed a possible easement across the development property with a restriction to 4-stroke machines. A temporary solution was discussed to request that Chuck allow the old trail to be re-opened across his property for one more season while the community determines a long-term solution.
As an organization, BVRI may be able to help mitigate snowmobile traffic issues throughout the community without concentrating traffic in any particular area or making people travel much farther than they need to in order to reach their destination. An approved "short cut" has the potential to benefit the entire community as long as due process has been followed to approve the development of such a short cut.
Additional information could help inform the discussion about the trail. An outline of: The legal status of the trail. The history of travel across common area in Bear Valley. Possible alternatives to this trail. Etc. This information could help ground the discussion with more objective information.
Additional legal opinion from the county would also help inform the conversation about the trail. If there's no accessibility across owned property, then a solution involving common area may very well be the best solution for the community in general.
MOTION: Ron Murphy moved that a BVRI delegation including (Ron Rossi, Eric Jung, Brian Neth and Dave Morley) meet with Chuck Toeniskoetter to discuss the long-term solution for snowmobile traffic in the vicinity of the "Creekside Connector Trail" and to request a one-season extension to access the old trail crossing Chuck's property as a short-term solution.
SECOND: Rancy Mancini seconded the motion.
All members in favor.
None opposed.
