early and late season, the additional snowmaking expansion would occur on high use trail segments that link upper mountain slopes with the base area. Snowmaking coverage would vary from year to year I depending upon weather conditions. The system would be sized to produce 18 inches of coverage per acre, except in Alternative E in which it would be 24 inches per acre, The total amount (acreage) of snowmaking would vary by alternative. The existing portable snowmaking facilities and equipment would be largely replaced with a modern, state"of-the-art system. In all action alternatives, three million gallons of water storage for snowmaking would be provided. The stored water would also be used as a backup domestic and firefighting water source for the SWSD, h 1.5 million gallon storage pond would be constructed for water metering and buffering by enlarging a small pond near the water treatment plant at the bottom of the Coney Glade chair lift. The remaining storage would be provided by a new impoundment or enlargement of existing ponds to the west of the Elk Camp lift. Snowmaking water would be drawn from Snowmass Creek ata rate that would not exceed 6 cubic feet per second (cfs) or 2,690 gallons per minute (gpm) , --~ d. Off-Site Development At the request of the TOSV Town Council in its comments on the DEIS (Resolution #15, Series of 1993), a common off-site residential and commercial development scenario is analyzed in each alternative to ascertain potential cumulative impacts and because elements of this buildout scenario are connected actions. This dff-site scenario defines the level of development anticipated during the planning period on private lands at the East Village area at the base of Burnt Mountain and elsewhere within TOSV, For purposes of assessing long-term impacts, it is assumed that off-site residential and commercial development in Alternative A would be ,equivalent to that in the action alternatives. Certain facilities proposed by ASC for inclusion in the new MDP would be located both on NFSL ~nd within the East Village development, The common off-site buildout scenario for all action alternatives would be as follows: Table S~3: Off-Site Development Scenario, All Alternatives , Existing Future East Village Future Other TOSV Number of Res. units 3,517 134 500 Amount of Commercial S,P. 177,725 15,500 80,000 TOTAL BUlLDOUT 4,151 273,225 The Town Council has also requested that a parking scenario be analyzed which represents no more than a ten percent increase in the amount of public parking in TOSV. The distribution of parking would vary by alternative, as shown below; however, the maximum number of public parking spaces would total 2,150 in all alternatives, Summary . 8
