<br />and mass transit modes are all accommodated in the Circulation Plan. <br />(See Part I Section B) This discourages excessive auto trips by <br />providing an alternative. Under this Permit, implementation of this <br />system will be guaranteed through easement dedications on individual <br />subdivision plats, <br /> <br />14. Public and Private Int!~rest/ Neei: <br /> <br />As has been previously stated, Summit County has encouraged high <br /> <br /> <br />density residential and commercial uses to occur in growth areas rather <br /> <br />than to promote sprawl. (See Part I Sect.ion B) In addition, to help <br /> <br /> <br />stabilize its economy and work force, growth areas are encouraged to <br /> <br />be year-round and destination-oriented, The location of the ski area <br /> <br /> <br />has dictated that growth will occur at Base II. In designing an <br /> <br /> <br />acceptable permit, the applicants have balanced anticipated <br /> <br /> <br />development with the constraints of the natural environment. The <br /> <br /> <br />result has been a combination of measures which improve on the <br /> <br /> <br />existing situation for long term benefits to both the natural <br /> <br /> <br />environment and the community. <br /> <br />15. Alternative Locations and Methods: <br />------- <br /> <br />The proposed permit areas provide developable areas which serve to <br /> <br />implement the Base II Master Plan, Available dryland in Base II is <br /> <br /> <br />linear and parallel to the highway, and would promote strip <br /> <br />development. Therefore, development has been encouraged under the <br /> <br /> <br />current Land Use Plan which promotes concentrated, <br /> <br /> <br />pedestrian-oriented improvements which recognize both the ski area <br /> <br /> <br />and the river. Alternative sites have been investigated, but in every <br /> <br /> <br />case were either not available or were unsuitable due to lack of access <br /> <br /> <br />or proximity to the ski area. (See following Response to Environmental <br /> <br /> <br />Protection Agency and Uni.ted States Forest Service) <br /> <br />16. Beneficial/Detriment,~l Effects: <br />The beneficial effects of the Permit are long-term: <br />1. By improving water quality in the basin and Dillon <br />Reservoir through treatment of acid mine drainage at <br />the Pennsylvania Mine and through treatment of on-site <br />urban runoff (See Part II Sections Band D); <br /> <br />--10- <br />
