That’s among the questions swirling around a proposed “conservation community” that calls for development of 3,200 acres in Winter Harbor and Gouldsboro that abut Schoodic Point.

That and other questions may be answered at a public meeting to be held in Winter Harbor at the Peninsula School gymnasium at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14.

For nearly two months, a team of consultants representing the property’s owners has been meeting privately with officials from both towns, nonprofit organizations and the representatives of the National Park Service, which oversees the 2,400-acre Schoodic Section of Acadia National Park.

While those consultants have not attended public meetings at which the project was discussed, they are expected to present a briefing and to answer questions at the May 14 meeting in Winter Harbor.

An April 17 public meeting at Schoodic Point that was hosted by the Schoodic Committee of Bar Harbor-based Friends of Acadia generated a list of 18 specific questions. Those questions were subsequently forwarded to Michael Saxl, an Augusta-based attorney who represents property owner Bruno Modena of Milan, Italy, and other investors yet to be publicly identified.

As of Tuesday, Saxl had not responded to Friends of Acadia.

The proposal has generated both skeptics and critics, among them the president of Friends of Acadia, Marla Stellpflug O’Byrne. She questions the logic of building “an ‘eco-resort’ touting sound ecological practices while destroying the rare natural communities.”

The site plan for the project obtained by The Ellsworth American shows a 250-room hotel adjacent to the Schoodic Section’s only entrance at Frazer Point. It also shows another 150-room hotel sited just north of the Route 186 intersection with the Schoodic Point access road. That hotel would front a proposed 18-hole golf course.

The site plan also depicts areas that would be devoted to studying native flora, fauna and sealife. It also calls for a mix of residential housing and a construction of a network of carriage roads modeled on those within Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island.

The heavily wooded terrain owned by Modena and other investors in a New York-based holding company includes more than 3,000 acres in Winter Harbor, or approximately 40 percent of the property within the town’s boundaries. Another 166.6 acres is within Gouldsboro and fronts East Schoodic Drive in Birch Harbor and Route 195 north of Prospect Harbor.

Both the Winter Harbor and Gouldsboro planning boards have discussed the concept, but have yet to be briefed by Saxl and his team of consultants.

The list of 18 questions generated by Friends of Acadia included these:

“How will town services and infrastructure support this development?

“How will this development be sustained with only a two-month tourist season?

“What is the proposed timeline for development?

“What types of jobs do you think this development will bring to the area?”

Those questions and others on the list are expected to be addressed on May 14.
