Project Description Our proposed Family Built, Family Owned Resort and RV Park, Teton West Resort and RV Park, will provide a new recreational campground facility to service all areas of the Teton Valley. Overnight facilities are limited and often full during peak travel season. Many campers are bypassing the town(s) in search of a place to stay, or many have made reservations in advance and will simply pass through the town on the way to their destination. Our goal is to provide an area that will give travelers the opportunity and option to stay in the beautiful Teton Valley for an extended period of time. The ability to keep travelers within the area will translate to income for surrounding businesses as well. RVers and campers alike visit local restaurants, gas stations, auto repair, grocery stores, outfitters, museums, events, golf courses, ski resorts, etc. All of which are established in the growing County. Giving travelers a developed place to stay is key to capturing these tourism dollars and a benefit for the entire community.

Phase I of Teton West Resort will consist of an office space, full hook-up RV sites, cabins, restroom/shower facility, playground, and walking trail. The office space will be aesthetically built to local building codes, scenic corridor requirements (if applicable) and with cultural heritage in mind. Within the office and resort we will offer educational experiences; sharing and preserving local culture and heritage with visitors and travelers to learn and engage with the community and surrounding landscape. The full hook-up RV sites will be large enough to accommodate today's larger rigs and will be equipped with water, 30/50amp service, and sewer. Spacing in between sites and an overall open concept is a key developmental component of our design. The cabins will be a mixed use of dry to full service (kitchen/restroom, shower). Restrooms, showers and laundry facility will also be constructed for camper use. Landscaping will consist of native vegetation, trees and shrubs to aid in screening, shade and site beautification. Phase I development will consist of 15 acres.

Phase II of Teton West Resort will develop around 12 acres of land. This phase is centrally located on the property. It will consist of dog zone, pavilion, yurts, glamping sites, cabins, tent area, clubhouse, group camping sites, parking, and an extension of phase I walking trail. Phase II will be designed to accommodate events and to support local artists. Our vision for this phase is art shows, car shows, special events, local/ community gatherings, etc. and will be dictated

based on permitting rules and regulations. Landscaping will be natural, large area of maintained grass, trees and shrubs for shade and aesthetics.

Phase III will consist of 10 acres and will be our private homesite located on the west end of the property. The home will be built in accordance with local building codes and designed to accommodate our family. Landscape will be of natural vegetation, trees, shrubs for screening/shade/ and area enhancement.

The proposed RV Park/Resort will have Rules and Regulations in place that will be enforced. Some of the more crucial rules are outlined below:

? Quiet Hours: 10pm- 8am (Loud or objectionable noise is not allowed any time). ? RVs: Only well-kept RV's are allowed in the park. RV's older than the year 2000 require

Surrounding Area The proposed site is positioned in between the towns of Tetonia and Driggs and is zoned A-2.5. The use falls under Commercial Uses, which is allowed in the A-2.5 zone as a Conditional Use (Title 8, Section 8.4.1, Table 1 Land Use Matrix). Per Title 8, Chapter 4, Section 8-4-2 Land Use Schedule Definitions, Campground, RV Park, Travel Trailer Camp is defined as "A parcel of land under single, unified ownership or control, within which spaces are rented or used by the ownership for occupancy by two (2) or more recreational vehicles and may include tent sites, cabin sites, or travel trailer sites for nightly or short-term rental." Directly to the north of the property is a 36-acre parcel as well as a 1-acre parcel containing a residence in the northeast corner. To the south of the property is the business Drawknife Billiards and a plot of land, 33.85 acres, currently for sale. To the east across HWY 33 are 4 parcels ranging from approximately 1- 10 acres. To the southwest is an approved subdivision, The Vistas, and to the west are 2 parcels, approx. 25.8 and 5 acres, both parcels owned by same individual. Referencing our Rules and Regulation statement, we will have rules in place as to not disturb and minimize the impact on our neighbors. The site plans have been developed with the impact area at the forefront.

Compatibility The proposed plan appears to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The encompassed area currently incorporates a mix of developed residential subdivision, undeveloped residential lots, and some commercial/light industrial development, which is consistent with the Rural Neighborhood definition Chapter 5 of the Framework Plan. According to the Teton Valley 2020 Framework map provided below a portion of the property falls within the Scenic Corridor. This map also indicates that this property is clear of Waterway Corridors.
