trailhead will be provided at the northwestern limits of the Mountain Star Resort : This facOlty 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 end landscape development within the proposed Horse Park will confonn 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 membe~ of the Horse Park Authority <br />and representatives of Trendwest. The project will be bunt 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 et 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 l)hases. <br />In 2006 Edward Lapsley, Facilities Consultant, reassessed the original master plan and <br />developed a revised construction plan. The design was marginally changed to reflect the <br />last decade's changes In the technology, management and format of horse park design, <br />construction and operations. Cost estimates were also revised, .based upon a bottom-up <br />approach. <br />64
