Jim,
Thanks much for your hard work
on the SRA proposal. I didn¹t like the original, and proposed
many changes a year ago while serving the town planning commission.
I was alone in that effort.
I'm very pleased, however, to
see that, thanks primarily to your persistence, most of those
changes were included in the final approval. In fact, the final
version is better than I'd expected.
It's unfortunate that this was
an issue in which we could only choose the least detrimental
alternative, among several. Saying no to any development on
that property simply was not an option. If only the public could
fully understand that...
Again, thanks and continue to
fight the good fight.
Sincerely,
Roger Hayden

Just a note to thank you for all your hard work, on all our
behalf's!!! I know it has not been easy, but believe you gave
it your all. Thank you again. Greg Mc Huron
-------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim:
Alan and I are very unhappy about
your vote. I don't think SRA is the
best thing since sliced bread as you seem to. Sorry for you.
Margot Hunt
---------------------------------------------------------
Jim - thank you for your update
and your courageous vote. It must have been difficult for each
one of you to decide. After all of the information given to
us, I still was undecided (you didn't have the luxury to remain
undecided), although the support of The Conservation Alliance
meant much to me.
Blessings to you.
Jack Swann
--------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Jim,
For keeping a close eye on this
and giving us all the details of the SRA. It's been a little
hard for the community as a whole to follow. So, thank you for
your diligence in this matter and for keeping us informed with
what's really going on. You're doing a great job!
Jesse and Karen O'Connor
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi Jim,
Thank you for your explanation
and your vote. I'm sure it was a very
difficult decision. Thank you for your support of the plan.
Sue and Alan Bybee
--------------------------------------------------------
Jim, Congratulations on a good
vote on the SRA. When I first heard that it passed and that
you were the swing vote, I was disappointed. But when I read
about all the concessions that you squeezed out of them, and
took a few minutes to reflect on some of the proposed alternatives,
I reluctantly came to the conclusion that you probably did the
right thing. I also believe that your heart was in the right
place and am confident that you voted the way you did for the
right reasons. Bet you're glad it's all over!
Regards,
Alberta Kusharski
----------------------------------------------------------
Jim,
I know that you have been inundated
with emails and phone calls, but I also wanted to commend your
integrity and your patience in last weeks SRA vote. You showed
that you can look beyond 2 to 5 years and see the advantage
of sustainable future long term growth for our entire community.
As a young local it was disturbing for me to see what I perceived
as a short sighted, myopic view of growth prior to last week's
vote. You have proven that you are more about the community
and less about personal goals and I commend you for hearing
and truly listening to your constituency. Thank you very much
and best of luck.
Cheers,
Hanley Sayers III
------------------------------------------------------------
Jim, a special thanks to you
for having the courage to change your mind and your vote.
Best regards,
David Yoder
------------------------------------------------------------
You did the right thing. We
can't shut the doors and bar all development, so we must strive
to get the most responsible development possible. With clustering
at the already developed Village, lots of open space and fine-tuning
through your efforts, the final SRA proposal is better than
we'd see from a lot of less responsible developers. Thanks,
Steve Unfried
--------------------------------------------------------------------
July 18, 2005
Jim,
I would like to complement you on your final decision. Where
did you learn those great negotiating skills? I feel that the
package the county has approved is a viable and solid approach
to a very complicated situation.
As we both know, SRA will develop their land in some manner,
and now we know how. It took guts for you to change your position,
but I am confident we will all realize the benefits of what
was approved in years to come. The nay -sayers will be loud
and vocal, but the whole community will be the ultimate benefactors.
Thanks for all your time and effort.
Respectfully, Jack Nunn
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Darwiche,
Thank you for making a dream of mine that much closer to becoming
reality. I am confident we are making the right choice. Thank
you again,
Tony Mendes
------------------------------------------------------------------
It is the right thing to do.
Terrence Whitaker
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim,
I just wanted to say a quick thank you for having the courage
to change your vote on SRA. Your actions were commendable and
have not gone unnoticed.
Thank you,
Amy Larimer
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A very thorough update. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. I
support your decision. -Jeff McDonald
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim,
Thank you for
your commitment towards our Valley's future. Your vision and
willingness to change for the betterment of Teton County is
a win/win for us all.
I appreciate your time, effort and support of the SRA for Teton
Village.
Best,
Diane Peterson
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Good job Jim. I truly belief you made the right decision for
the majority of the residents of Teton County. We are a resort
community and the SRA plan will help make a stronger resort
and more competitive. Growth is inevitable, so we must do all
we can to control it and plan it well and the County Commissioners
did a very good job with this issue.
Bill Lewkowitz
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Darwiche,
Thank you for seeing the light and voting positively for SRA.
Herb Brooks
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the
heads up! I must admit that based on earlier meetings I was
surprised that you cast the swing vote for SRA, but I absolutely
commend you on having the vision to vote for this proposal.
I know it was a difficult decision so thanks for working through
this and for getting the best possible outcome for our community.
Take care and
keep up the good work.
Best,
Mike May
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim -
I appreciate your long hours of work and your heartache. You
have taken your commitment to public service seriously, and
I deeply respect you for that.
I also happen to agree with the way you came out on the SRA
vote. I think you have finally managed to extract all the benefit
for the community that it was possible to extract, given the
determination of the Resor heirs to develop to the max.
Like you, I am still apprehensive about the future. But you
had to make a reasonable decision based on the best information
available, and you did. Thank you. All best, Joe Albright
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim,
Thanks for your note and communication with the community.
Thanks also for the thoughtful questions, recommendations, ultimate
improvements to the proposal and the courage to continue to
seek the best for the community and then support it with your
vote. Changing your vote was clearly appropriate following the
improvements to the plan and the new opportunity for the Valley.
Best regards,
Ed Liebzeit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim,
And kudos to
you for keeping an open, objective mind and weighing things
on their merit.
And for that
alone (despite how the vote went), the community is in your
debt. Best wishes,
Brett McPeak
-----------------------------------------------------------------
thank you for your work on this project. i only hope it starts
a trend
towards planning our developments thoroughly. leadership such
as yours insures our viability in the future of mountain resort
tourism.
Walter Hyer
------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim
Thank you for you continued feedback regarding your decisions
on the SRA vote. I agree that the proposal as approved is a
much better proposal than the initial offer. However, I am not
sure that in the end anyone really won other than "big
money" and the Resor family. At the end of the day, a significant
chunk of open space is lost and no matter how glossed over,
more density and more traffic. My overall concern now is that
the Resor/SRA consortium and the Resort are well on their way
to becoming the "800 pound gorilla" in the valley.
The thinly veiled political postureing re" the tram replacement
is an example of this. Jackson and Teton County are bigger than
either and this area offers more than a ski resort and a few
cows grazing along Hiway 390.

Dan Smitherman
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jim-
I want to sincerely thank you for your positive vote on the
SRA last week. You're actions showed courage, knowing that not
everyone would be pleased, but you acted in the best long term
interests on Jackson. Look what also happened last week, the
Rusty Parrot was named the #1 hotel in the world, and the Four
Seasons was # 69. Net, net- that is good news for all of Jackson.
The more the community has to offer the longer people will stay
and that's good for Jackson. Based on your vote, and the changes
you required, in my view, Jim, you are one of Jackson's champions.
Thank you again.
Jim Lewis
---------------------------------------------------------------
thanks - this makes a lot of sense.
Susan Marsh
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great job, Jim!
Thanks for hanging in there for us, the citizens of the County.
I'm sure this was a tough project!
Paul Cote
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim,
Thank you for
voting for the SRA. I know it was a difficult decision, but
I don't think you will be disappointed.
Sincerely, Pam
Sell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for
taking the time to get this information out.
Pam Koob
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jim,
I agree with
you that it should have passed. I think
that the village would have benefited with more
commercial but I understand your concerns. I hope
that this will help the village become a true
destination. Thanks again,
Cornelius Kinsey
------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim,
I think you
did the best you could do. Something had to happen as they have
the right to develop their land. Now comes the approval process
for the individual projects. That will be ongoing for many,
many years.
Thanks Jim for
your efforts which I know took hundreds of hours.
Sincerely,
Bruce Hawtin
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Good job, Jim.
As we discussed, you created a significant benefit for the community
and the viability of the Village.
Best regards, Alan Hirschfield
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Commissioner
Darwiche,
I can't tell
you how much I admire you for having the courage to vote for
the SRA proposal last week. Largely because of your leadership,
SRA ended up agreeing to a plan that is much more beneficial
to the community than would have otherwise been the case
.significantly
better than they were proposing, and certainly significantly
better than the piecemeal development that certainly would have
occurred had their plan been rejected outright.
If I can ever
assist you in any way, please let me know.
Phil Stevenson
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim,
I want to thank you for having the guts in changing your vote.
I think you showed TRUE LEADERSHIP in doing what was right for
Teton County's future. Take care and I look forward to seeing
you in Jackson.

Dear Jim, I want to thank you
for your courage and foresight in regards to your SRA vote.
I belive this project will help Jackson continue to be a viable
and vibrant community for decades to come. Thanks for listening.
Sincerely, Paul Rossolo
--------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to take this time
to thank you for your positive vote on the SRA project. I'm
glad you took the consideration of all the Teton County residents
and gave the opportunity to myself and other Teton County residents
more affordable housing. I'm very lucky and proud to work and
live in Teton County everyday.
Thank you again,
Isaac Farabaugh
Teton County Resident for 3 years
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim,
I just want to thank you for your vote last Tuesday. I know
you worked hard to make the best decision and plan possible.
I also appreciate your communications which I have read during
the year. This one was particularly helpful. I know there is
much work still to be done by all which I look forward to participating
in. I am especially appreciative for having a legacy, a planned
cooperative village for future generations. May we all work
well together in the future to keep the SRA Plan moving forward.
Sincerest thanks, Connie Kemmerer
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Darwiche, thank you for making such a brave move with the
approval of the SRA plan. Smart growth has always been the safest
and best way to grow so again thank you for your reconsideration
and ultimately changing the zoning to the proper "resort"
status. Sincerely,
Sarah H. Sousa
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jimmy,
I wanted to thank you for all
your hard work and courage with the SRA proposal. Even though
I've never been in office, I appreciate the pressures that you
are submitted to when confronted with a controversial issue
like this one. You've handled the process very well and stayed
above the fray.
I congratulate you!
Un abrazo,
Manuel Lopez
-----------------------------------------------------------
i do appreciate your thoughtful
analysis of why you voted as you did, and i wish the other commissioners
would do this kind of email. it was very difficult in the last
couple weeks to figure out what the latest proposal entailed,
and what its impacts would look like compared to what the impacts
of no variance would be. certainly the no variance development
would be huge in and of itself. i think maybe the concessions
the resors have made just might make the variance worthwhile.
i hope so. everyone sure put alot of work into this thing (and
i think targhee will make sra look like a small amount of work--good
luck!).
Beverly Boynton
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim,
Thank you for your "yes"
vote regarding SRA and for all your
research. I know you did the right thing and won't be disappointed
in the future of the Village. Your efforts are sincerely appreciated.
Keep up the good work and give
my best to Saffa.
Sincerely,
Pam Flores
-------------------------------------------------------
Jim-
On behalf on the jackson hole
film institute and jackson hole film festival, we would like
to commend you for your support of the sra plan. This is a great
thing for the community, and we look forward to working with
Teton County and the Resor family and see how we as an organization
can make Teton Village a vibrant community for everyone.
Best regards,
Lorne Maltenfort

Jim,
A tough decision. Thank you for making this tough
choice and for recognizing the future needs of
emergency services in the greater Teton Village area,
in the process.
Best Regards,
MIKE Daus
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jim:
You exhibited some real courage when you voted in support of
the revised SRA Plan. The long term benefit of the "OPEN
SPACE" provided for with this plan will have a lasting
beneficial impact on the valley! Thanks for having the courage
to step up and do the right thing!

Congratulations and thank you for your vote. It's a win win
for Teton County. Nice job and really appreciate your final
support.

------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Darwiche:
First of all, I would like to
thank you for taking the time to respond to my email. I really
appreciate it. I am very disappointed at the outcome of the
final vote, but I'm also very thankful that there were some
drastic changes made to the original plan. Thank you for your
efforts to maintain the unique beauty of Jackson Hole.

Congratulations on the major
effort you have made for the community. I applaud your hard

------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim, Congratulations and
thanks for the bottom-of-the-9th tradeoffs and reductions that
you achieved in your role as the swing vote. It's a great outcome,
a superb compromise. The problem with planning so commonly is
that the deficiencies of what's in place aren't apparent until
a bad proposal draws one's attention to the problems, but the
bad proposal deserves to be approved because they followed the
rules. This could have been far worse but instead it's become
something much better than anyone could have forecast. Regards,
Ben Read
-----------------------------------------------------------
lets see no right away for a
north bridge --- more traffic on 22.....when
do we get a light at sky line so we can turn towards the village?....
o thats right we don't count same reason the start bus will
not stop for our kids--- its only for the tourist.
The " open space "
is really more housing --- in fact 59 units on the 1300 is the
same number of units as 35 acre lots on the rural zoning.
I will not forget
Warren Machol
-------------------------------------------------------------
225 units of affordable housing
will generate over 675 more trips per day on highway 390.
And please realize that a large resort at a dead end road is
going to do nothing except increase traffic. A north bridge
could be run, not through Sage Drive and the Snake River Ranch
but through several easements you already have to the north
of that.
My enthusiasm for this comes from a father's desire to protect
his family. Highway 390 is now very dangerous.It is a circle
route where families, Harleys, and speedsters go to Teton VIllage,
do their thing, and drive back along the same road.
Please address this issue with the same enthusiasm as those
issues that generate profits to our community.
Warren Pratt
------------------------------------------------------------
Your work for the community has
always been what I have admired. However, I think you, and the
rest of the county commissioners, did not go for a really hard
and vital concession from SRA, namely both easements and endorsement
from SRA for a new Snake River bridge. In this respect, my opinion
on the recent approval of the SRA plan is that the commissioners
voting for it let all of the county down.
Lee Cutler

The board lost integrity with the wishy washy voteingadn the
fact that they went against public opinion.

Jim,
I applaud your
courage in voting for the SRA proposal. I believe it is a step
forward for the community and represents a sound plan that assures
community benefit form the development that is inevitable for
the lands adjacent to the existing Teton Village.
Thank you for looking to the future with vision.
Francesca Rice
-----------------------------------------------------
And what about
the traffic on highway 390....Sherrie Jern
------------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim,
Thanks for your
e-mail on the SRA vote. It seems to me that the SRA sat down
with you and said what do we need to do to get your vote. They
changed their proposal just enough to get your support. While
it may be good enough for you it is not good enough for a lot
of us, we wanted more and we would have gotten it if you had
not caved in to SRA's pressure. To say I am disappointed in
your vote is an understatement. Who are you to make this decision,
when you know most of the county residents oppose it?
Paul Lawrence
-------------------------------------------------------
Thanks-I think you did the right thing. Clay James
-------------------------------------------------------
Jim- I believe
you used a good decision making process and that your vote was
the right thing to do.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Stan Zaist
-----------------------------------------------------
I agree with
your change of vote BUT that agreement with SRA must be written
so that there are no loopholes. The golf course may turn out
to be such a loophole and there is no offsetting plan for the
increased traffic. Without another bridge this approval is very
short sighted.
Gordon S. Gray
------------------------------------------------------
I am very proud
of you to fight for what you believe is best for our community.
I am also very honored in knowing that you adeptly made your
case, got the concessions you desired and were man enough to
change your vote knowing that you would receive an incredible
amount of public backlash.
I for one, appreciate
the deal you scripted with the Resors and look forward to seeing
the Teton Community grow in a smart and concious direction.
All the best,
and I'll see you at the market.

Good work Jim,
I think you did the right thing both in sticking to your guns
and then working the best possible deal for the community.

-------------------------------------------------------
As a private citizen, I want to commend you for your efforts
as a commissioner and your diligence in sorting through this
complex proposal. You and your fellow commissioners worked hard
to do the right thing for the long-term good of county. I'm
proud to reside in Teton County and be represented by this commission.
Best to you as you reload for other, new topics in the wings.

Jim, you are
incredible to share with us like you do. It brings respect,
and goodness to the process.
Lisa Robertson
--------------------------------------------------------
Commissioner
Darwiche,
Well done. Your vote took real courage on your part.
You served all of us in Teton County well--with a long-run view.
Your vote on SRA was an act of statesmanship.
In our history, many good men have changed their minds on important
issues.
Kind regards,
Jack McDonald
Wilson
--------------------------------------------------------
Good Job - Jim!
I think you carefully considered the needs of all concerned
and arrived at a solution that will benefit all of us in the
future. Please accept my personal congratulations on bringing
a very contentious matter to a successful conclusion.
Eric Schmidt
-------------------------------------------------------
I think that
the eventual decision reflected well on you and on the County.
The changes you recite are good. On balance, the plan makes
sense. Tough call but that's the fun of public service.
Neal Manne
-----------------------------------------------------
Jim,
Congratulations on your vote. The County extracted a lot of
value out of this plan. Bike paths into Jackson will add tremendous
value for both residents and visitors. I appreciate the tremendous
effort put forth by everyone, especially you, in reaching this
conclusion. You have my vote in the next election....should
you decide to go through this process again!
Regards,
Leif Nelson
-------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the all your hard work on this project and you really

Dear Mr Darwiche
and fellow commissioners,
Thank you for
your tireless work in finding an acceptable form for the SRA
plan, for your reconsideration and revaluation and final approval.
We believe this is for the good of everyone in this community
even those who still can see it that way.
Bob and Madeleine
Emrick
--------------------------------------------
I want to echo those who have comended the leadership, political
courage and foresight of those commisioners such as Mr. Darwiche
who have navigated adroitly through a sometimes shrill debate.
The reasoned and balanced judgment is a shot in the arm for
the entire community. I have no doubt that it is one that history
will conclude to have been packed with wisdom and insight.
Daniel D. Veniez
---------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Darwiche and fellow commissioners,
Just a short note to commend you on your thoughtful SRA decision
that will benefit Teton County, WY. I especially appreciate
all the time you have so generously given to study and give
thorough consideration to this issue.
Alice Widdess
----------------------------------------------
Jim, kudos to you for reconsidering and bringing forth ideas
for improvement allowing you to see the positive aspects of
the proposal. Larry and Leland, you obviously felt differently
about approval but knowing you both I trust you will be supportive
now in helping to refine the very best plan for the Valley.
Thanks again for your contributions and a positive vote.
Best regards,
Ed Liebzeit
--------------------------------------------
Jim -
I'm a resident of the Village but make my living as a lobbyist
for General Electric in Washington. I've watched a lot of complicated
deals come together, and fall apart.
I was impressed by the way you guided the SRA debate. You probably
got the best deal possible for Teton County. Impressive job!
Rob Wallace
----------------------------------------------
Jim,
I grew up in
Wilson and work on the Moose-Wilson Road. I am very happy and
relieved with your swing vote decision to support SRA. Voting
for this proposal will allow our beloved county to have greater
control over fundamental issues such as: transportation &
traffic, ski area parking, and employee-affordable housing.
Concentrating development at the Teton Village core is a much
better alternative to having multiple subdivisions across Moose-Wilson
Road that result in sprawl.
Thank you!
Jarad Spackman
-------------------------------------------------
Hi Jim,
Thank you so much for your hard and thorough work on the SRA
proposal. It is amazing how you achieved so much more in the
final stages. Once again your integrity and caring have been
an invaluable service to our community.
With gratitude,
Barbara
-------------------------------------------------
I think that
your vote on the SRA project speaks well about your willingness
to hear the community and try to search for a benefit to all
of the people. Although neither party got what they wanted,
the outcome was balanced and should allow for a benefit for
the community and Teton Village. Thanks again for your change
in vote

Jim,
I am so proud of you as my representative on the County Commission.
I believe the choice you made concerning SRA will allow my family
to continue to live and prosper here for generations to come.
We must have vision when it concerns the future of our valley
and I fully believe you did the right thing. Please do not allow
the negative attitudes, that will be out in full force, make
you feel for a second that you did the wrong thing. I know you
still must have some reservations about the project but time
will prove you right.

I am truly sorry that you voted for SRA. It will the kiss of
Death to the West Bank.
You are a good man, but in my opinion you made a serious mistake
which will someday haunt you.

would hot vote to under gird our economy and future ability
to compete, and I am thrilled at your change of heart.
Again, my thanks.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for

Thank you all
for your long hours and conscientious consideration on the SRA

I respect your commitment and your opinions. Thank you all for
being there and working so very hard for our community! Get

From reading the paper, I think you made some very good changes
in the SRA plan. I know this was hard for you, just as it was

the time and attention and concern you expended. Now we have
to all hope for the best!

Congratulations.
