trailhead will be provided at the northwestern limits of the Mountain Star Resort.This facility will be provided <br />so that users may immediately access more rustic trails without riding through the resort.Trendwest will <br />determine the location of this "outpost." <br />The architecture and landscape development within the proposed Horse Park will conform to a Northwest <br />mountain style to blend with the natural environment and reflecting Washington State's history.The building <br />style --characterized by sloped roofs,generous overhangs,and use of wood,stone,and heavy timber --is <br />consistent with that proposed for Mountain Star resort.To maintain aesthetic quality control,design of specific <br />facilities will be approved by a design review committee comprised of members of the Horse Park Authority <br />and representatives of Trendwest.The project will be built to high-quality standards to stimulate use of the <br />facility and reduce long-term maintenance costs.Substandard facilities may cost less initially,but will not <br />serve the goals of the proposed project. <br />The Horse Park will be developed in phases to reduce the initial cost and allow for flexible expansion.The <br />proposed first phase of development would serve the needs of many small-to moderate-sized events <br />(although probably no more than two small events or one moderate-sized event at a time).Temporary <br />construction is minimized to reduce the cost of future construction,although some temporary features are <br />necessary to consolidate development in the early phases. <br />In 2006 Edward Lapsley,Facilities Consultant,reassessed the original master plan and <br />developeda revised construction plan.The design was marginallychanged to reflect the <br />last decade's changes in the technology,managementand format of horse park design, <br />construction and operations.Cost estimates were also revised,based upon a bottom-up <br />approach. <br />64
