\nProposed Campsite and Storage Lot<\/strong>
\nWhat you need to know\u2026
\nA TUP (temporary use permit) has been applied for, to convert 4690 Trepanier Rd. into a 40-lot
\ncampsite and a 1-acre storage yard. The owners say it will operate yearly March to October. It
\nwill be a dry site -meaning no hookups (water\/electricity\/sani-dump). The TUP will last for 3
\nyears with the option for a 3-year extension. The owners have indicated they plan to use the
\nTUP for the full 6 years while working to change the zoning. The owners have stated this
\ncampsite will become permanent!<\/p>\n
\nhaving to re-zone. It was never meant for this type of business -it was meant as a tool for the
\nRDCO to have control over industrial sites (e.g., gravel pits).<\/p>\n
\nwere unanimously shot down by the RDCO Board. With elections this past fall, the owners are
\nhoping to take advantage of new board members who may not be familiar with this
\napplication.<\/p>\n

\nHow will this campsite affect you?<\/p>\n
\nand W.K. fire departments are not allowed to respond. Forestry will<\/em>
\nrespond with 3-person crew in a pick-up truck and limited water.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nfuel filled vehicles and rv\u2019s with propane tanks will be left to burn uncontrolled.<\/p>\n
\non the lot you and your family could be trapped with no way out.<\/p>\n

\nsewage instead of packing up and driving into town to dispose.<\/p>\n
\n\uf0b7 Increased traffic on Trepanier road -including offroad vehicles driving up the road to access
\ntrails.<\/p>\n
\n\uf0b7 The Paradise Valley \u201ctemporary\u201d campsite has illegally turned into a year-round site with
\npermanent residents. RDCO is unable (or unwilling) to enforce the rules. This new campsite
\nwill turn into more of the same.<\/p>\n
