Winterpark Draft Proposal

The consensus opinion of the MPC is that there is no compelling reason at this time to reject consideration of the proposal: the MPC committee must review the full proposal. The committee recognizes that there are strong positive student-based reasons for supporting the proposal, but it also recognizes that there are important negative reasons; e.g., avoid subjecting the campus to additional non-UAF-related traffic, demands on infrastructure and security, and alteration of landscape. However, these issues are more properly addressed with access to detailed plans by the proposer as opposed to trying to guess what might be contained within the formal proposal. The question of appropriate use for UAF lands remains foremost on the committee's mind, and memory of the Walmart issue suggests that a public meeting would be prudent before the MPC makes its final recommendation. An ad hoc committee has been established to review the proposal as soon as it is submitted to the MPC. [MPC recommendation "Winterpark 1/18/99/1"]
