Michael Fowler of Diversified Investments, Inc. received approval Friday from the Nevada Irrigation District board of directors to proceed with plans for construction of rental cabins at Scotts Flat Reservoir. Fowler said he plans_ to construct 50 cabins in the project’s first-phase with 150 to ' be added in phase two. The total project would take up approximately 300 of the 1150 acres around the lake. Board member James A. McAdams said the project would give NID some funds for which to build recreational facilities around its reservoirs. “We haven’t been breaking even on our concessionaire agreements in the past so maybe this will allow us to do so”, he said. NID is projected to receive $140,000 initially and approximately $84,000 a year thereafter. It was noted that the plans do not meet with the approval of those involved with DavisGrunsky Act funding at the state level but NID’s legal counsel feels that the district’s contracts with Davis-Grunsky do not prohibit additional recreational facilities. At the present time there are no cabin developments on any of the 30-odd Davis-Grunsky lakes but Fowler and the NID board felt that Scotts Flat is an ideal. location for one as it is close-in and is sure to be heavily used in future years. A stipulation to the agreement requires approval at all governmental levels from the county planning commission to the state. In other action the board listened to Jim Vellema of the Rollscott Corporation, concessionaire at Rollins Reservoir, argued that his organization should have a right to submit a competitive proposal concerning secondstage recreational facilities at Rollins. The board is in the process of drawing up an agreement with Cranmer Engineering which would give that firm the engineering contract for all second-stage work at Jackson Meadows, Faucherie, Scotts Flat and Rollins. The board suggested that Rollscott get together with Cranmer and try to work out a deal whereby each would be satisfied.
