Posted: Aug 05, 2011 - 3:21 PM GMT Maple Valley owner expects to return to DRB this fall By CHRIS GAROFOLO / Reformer Staff Friday August 5, 2011 DUMMERSTON -- Representatives with the Connecticut company hoping to reopen the Maple Valley Ski Area as a four-season resort expect to have the necessary documentation completed sometime in the autumn. Property owner Nicholas Mercede, who applied for a conditional use permit to resume operations at the site through the Stamford, Conn.-based MVS Associates, LLC, said his firm hopes to have a more definitive site plan to present to the Dummerston Development Review Board for its September meeting. MVS Associates was scheduled to attend the DRB meeting on July 26, but the company did not have the proper documentation required to proceed. They do not expect to have the proposal completed by the next meeting on Aug. 16. During a June meeting, the board requested more clarity in the ambitious zoning application to reopen the Maple Valley. "We have to get more information. We're getting all the little things cleared up, we're getting the maps all set, getting all the information ready to go to the zoning board," Mercede told the Reformer on Wednesday afternoon. "It will probably be another two weeks after [Aug. 16], at the end of August, maybe in September and I will give them all the information needed for the permits." Mercede presented an application earlier this summer to reopen the long-closed facility with activities extending from the winter season into fall. Plans also include a retail store and ski/bicycle repair shop, as well as the mountain's ski school. Planners ran into some obstacles with the board with some "pie-in-the-sky" ideas -- as a DRB member called them -- including hang-gliding, zip lines, archery camps and paintball. During the June meeting, DRB member Lew Sorenson said the board would not address conceptual designs until many of the activities have been addressed. The designs for the ski resort, located six miles north of Brattleboro on Route 30, would not change the existing trails or its lounge, though it would require some structural work. Concerns were raised by the public about noise from the snow-making pumps and the light pollution from night skiing. MVS representatives said there are new standards and better equipment for lighting and snow-making fixtures that will reduce these issues, which were also problems when Maple Valley was last open 10 years ago. MVS Associates hope to have the rehabilitation work completed within a year, but that does not include inspections at the state level for the lighting, septic system and other utilities.
