The Copper Mountain Metro District wants Intrawest to resolve an outstanding water rights transfer before taking a stance on the latest development plan at the resort.
The district outlined a list of concerns in a memo to the Summit County planning department recently. One issue is the long-standing Intrawest obligation to convey 35 acre-feet of water rights to the metro district.
Intrawest may not have the water rights necessary to meet demands of the current planned unit development (PUD), “let alone the proposed PUD,” according to the memo.
“We do owe them the water rights under the 1999 PUD,” said Intrawest public affairs coordinator Laura Goode. “We know it’s something we need to actively and aggressively work with the metro district on before we go to Board of County Commissioner hearings in the fall.”
Intrawest wants to reallocate existing development rights at Copper, as well as add 613 new units of “equivalent density,” mainly for new residential units in the A Lift neighborhood and for a planned flagship Hardrock Hotel in the Center Village.
