Trail Creek development gets nod

Ketchum City Council approval of a condominium project on Trail Creek Monday could clear the way for construction—or appeals.

Jack Bariteau, representing his interests in Stevenson Ketchum Fund LLC, is hoping to build a two-building, 10-unit residential project on the corner of Second Street and Walnut Avenue.

Applications before the council were a partial vacation of First Street and a rezone from General Residential-Low Density to General Residential-High Density.

The council waived the three readings and voted on the applications, unanimously approving both—but not before attorney Barry Luboviski voiced opposition to the project and the manner in which it was approved.

"This thing is going hellfire as fast as it can," he said. Luboviski, representing adjacent property owners in The Lodges at Trail Creek, has numerous times raised objections to the project.

Bariteau's attorney, Ed Lawson, took exception to Luboviski's comments, calling them a "half-court jump shot at the buzzer."

The project includes park restoration, a footpath along Trail Creek and improvements to Walnut Avenue.
