City awaits legal resolution for remaining Rocking H tenantsÂ
During its May 20 meeting, the City of Victor Planning and Zoning Commission tabled Teton Valley Resortâs application for an annexation of land to expand and improve the RV park. TVR acquired the land in September 2019 and controversially served 90 day eviction notices to tenants of the former Rocking H Mobile Home Park still living on the property.
The resort is owned by Randy Larsen, and managed by Keith Larsen. TVR has been working towards expansion for years, citing increases in demand for RV accommodations during the summer months. TVR is one of five privately owned campgrounds across Teton Valley. The annexation is for land that TVR wants to use in its third phase of development, but the second phase of development remains unfinished. Rocking H is on the land that TVR intends to use for its second phase.
The manager of Teton Valley Resort on Highway 31 has applied to the City of Victor for an annexation of the resort-owned 12 acres west of the existing operation, and for a conditional use permit in order to operate a restaurant in the TVR clubhouse.
Resort manager Keith Larsen wrote in the annexation application that TVR is in the process of constructing its second phase on the five-acre lot south of the existing resort, formerly the site of the Rocking H Mobile Home Park, and the expansion is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021; the western parcel would constitute the third phase, with additional RV bays, access roads, a park area and pond, trails, and landscaping.
While it may seem like the global pandemic was the only thing people were talking about this year, Teton Valley saw plenty of news that was unrelated to COVID.
The following list is just a sampling of some of the broader themes that marked the year. Many of these stories will continue to impact our community in years to come.
School construction completed
All six projects funded by the school bond approved by voters in 2017 were wrapped up this year. Driggs and Victor each saw new elementary schools, while Rendezvous Upper Elementary, Tetonia Elementary, Teton Middle, and Teton High were renovated.
