RESOLUTION at 11/16/15 RP MEETING
Schoolhouse Campground (refer to p. 3-20 of Recreation Plan)
 None.
To Be Discussed Once All Measures are Known
 Year of major & near-term rehabilitation
YCWA Believes the Following are In Agreement
 Replace 2-unit vault restroom with new vault restroom; and all existing flush restrooms
with efficient flush models (including septic systems)
 Convert the double and triple campsites to single campsites.
 Provide appropriate trailhead signage on the facility entrance sign.
 Formalize the existing overflow parking area to provide two separate parking areas –
one area for campground overflow parking and one area for trailhead parking for
Schoolhouse Trail – each with 10 single vehicle parking spaces and appropriate
signage.
 Construct native surface, non-motorized, multi-use connector trail to Schoolhouse Trail
from the trailhead parking area
 Provide electricity at the entrance station, host site, and each restroom.
 Upgrade the host site with water and electric hookups and a septic tank.
YCWA Believes the Following are Not Necessary Because Kelly Ridge Development
Addresses RV Upgrades
 Develop up to 12 RV campsites with water and electric hookups. The final number of
RV campsites may change during site design due to terrain and road turning radius
limitations.
 Restrict RV size at the campground to a 30 ft length, except where RVs up to 40 ft length
may be accommodated without: 1) significantly re-designing the existing campground
circulation road; and 2) reducing the total number of existing campsites.
Dark Day Campground (refer to p. 3-21 of Recreation Plan)
 Maintain facility for tent camping only
 Provide vegetative screening between campsites
 Improve each campsite to meet current standards, particularly the size of the living
space and the access routes.
 Campsites #1 - #3 (double sites): develop/re-align campsite access routes from parking
to avoid travelling through living space of other campsites.
 Campsites #5 - #10 (single sites): evaluate potential to re-align the campsite access
route(s) from parking to avoid travelling through the living space of other campsites.
 Campsite #4 (triple site): install a 1-unit flush restroom
 Replace 2 existing vault restrooms with efficient flush models/sizes that meet Forest
Service capacities (including appropriate septic system), if the addition of the flush
models does not exceed the existing water system capacity.
To Be Discussed Once All Measures are Known
 Year of major & near-term rehabilitation
