I lackson Hole Guide The Park Record D Section A Jackson Hole population could hit 44,000 people Teton County's buildout population under the draft comprehensive plan could reach about 44,000 people, if platted but undeveloped lots are added to consultant Lane Kendig's projections for the valley's future growth. Kendig said last week that his estimates that 8,400 new dwellings units will be built in the county didn't take into account lots already subdivided for development. His numbers resulted in an estimated buildout of about 30,000 people. But County Planning Administrator John Bradley said there are just as many platted but unbuilt lots as there are existing homes in the county. "People need to realize there's a tremendous number of invisible approved units out there," Bradley said. The county estimates that there are, at last count, 3,558 lots that are still undeveloped. When multiplied by the accepted multiplier of 2.1 persons per unit, platted but undeveloped lots in the county could yield 7,472 additional county residents. In the town, there are 316 platted but undeveloped units, and slightly fewer than 1,400 other unplatted units that have tacit approval, according to the town inventory of vacant lands. It isn't clear how many of those 1,400 town units have been included in Kendig's buildout estimates. 2431 Iron Mountain Drive - $589,000 5 bedrooms, 4 baths Hardwood floors Rock fireplace Vaulted ceilings 3-car garage Large study Rec rooms Hobby studio 5200 sq. ft. on 3 levels Large redwood deck Call Fred Grambau, COLLISON CONSTRUCTION 649-4877, 645-8556 lackson Hole Guide Airline to cut its winter fares After winning fare reductions from American Airlines, the Jackson Hole Ski Corporation's new owners have decided to continue a winter contract agreement with the carrier to bring skiers to Jackson. The contract program, now in the seventh year of a 10-year 10-year commitment, costs $400,000 annually-half of which was paid last year by the Ski Corp. and half from pledgers from the local business community. New co-owner co-owner John Resor said last week that, after negotiations with Ski Corp. management, American Airlines agreed to reduce its proposed fares for the 1992-93 ski season. The price reductions mean that flying into Jackson Hole from almost any of America's points of origin will cost no more than a flight to Vail or Salt Lake City, Resor said. He also plans to approach airlines about marketing ventures and increasing flights into Jackson to ensure successful winter seasons. the aspen times Aspen to control growth with water? Ever since America began expanding westward in a search for land, gold and its destiny, one thing has been paramount in all considerations-the availability of water. Things have not changed very much since then, throughout the West or in the Roaring Fork Valley, where water is a fluid bone of frustrating contention between Aspen and Snowmass Village. In a low-key, but nevertheless intense war of wills, the two communities are locked in quiet confrontation over what could become a defining issue for the area's future--whether an oversupply of Aspen's water should be used for the benefits of Snowmass. Water in the West is "appropriated" in rights claimed by users in the many river basins. The Colorado River, some argue, actually has been parceled out to ranchers, miners, municipalities, diversion projects, minimum streamflow allocations and myriad other users to the point where there are many more water rights than there is water. And the Roaring Fork River, along the same lines, was in fact dried up in the mid-1970s when a dry year cut the snowmelt to nothing and the Salvation Ditch called all its rights into play for irrigation and other uses in the lands to the north of Aspen. 5 THE TRAIL Lift into Minturn may happen someday It won't happen overnight, and it may not happen at all. But there's a chance that someday a chairlift will be whisking skiers from the outskirts of Minturn to the top of Vail Mountain, fulfilling part of a long-range vision to bring town-to-town skiing to the Vail Valley. Most of Vail Associates' consideration has focused on the Game Creek area, although the ski company is far from selecting a site. People ski from the mountain to Minturn via Game Creek all the time. It's just that most of them get back to Vail by thumbing a ride or parking a car in Minturn, and almost all of them are forced to tromp through the backroads of Minturn into town in their ski boots. A lift would make the ride back easier, and with the increased number of skiers, steer a little more sales tax revenue into the town of Minturn. Of course, many of the skiers who end up in Minturn make the Minturn Mile the last run of the day and head into the town's watering holes for apres' ski. In that case the chairlift would do nothing to get skiers back to Vail. Like any grand scheme, Minturn's chairlift has its obstacles, the foremost being a large elk herd that winters in the area. That's going to make the project extremely difficult to negotiate, according to Colorado Division of Wildlife officials.
