Residents used the citizen‑input segment of the Sept. 10 council meeting to press the town for practical changes to the Tom Moore restoration project and to flag potential long‑term consequences of a proposed conservation easement.

A resident who identified herself as active in restoration work praised the town’s restoration effort and urged the council and staff to add public trash receptacles at trailheads and other recreation points so visitors will have places to discard refuse. She also urged that any new outdoor lighting for the proposed Tom Moore toilet comply with the town’s dark‑sky goals so the town preserves its nighttime character.

The speaker recommended the town and the ski area partner to place trash cans at key outdoor recreation locations and to ensure a new toilet and its exterior lighting are sited and shielded in ways consistent with anticipated sky‑protection ordinances. Separately she urged caution about a conservation easement the estate has proposed for a portion of Lot 1 on the Patsy Marley parcel, noting that placing a developable section next to a conservation easement can create a nonconforming parcel under town code and complicate future regulation.

Councilmembers asked staff to record the request and to ensure the restoration project’s scope and future amenities (toilet, lighting, trash) are coordinated with the town’s broader ordinances and with the ski area where necessary.

Ending: The town did not make design changes that night; staff accepted the public comments for the record and the restoration‑project file, and council requested follow‑up to confirm whether the project can include a toilet, waste receptacles and dark‑sky‑compliant exterior lighting while avoiding regulatory problems associated with nearby conservation easements.
