The City Council on Tuesday approved a "control gate" at the foot of Aetna Mountain Road in the Cummings Cove development in Lookout Valley. Alan Solon, a partner in the development of the remainder of Cummings Cove as well as a thousand acres on top of the mountain, said the gate was needed to prevent trespassers and to protect private property. Steve Leach, city public works administrator, said the old dirt road up the mountain is regularly used by Jeepers and four-wheelers. He said those using the road have destroyed survey markers as well as stolen material at building sites. There are only a few other property owners on the mountain other than the group including Mr. Solon and the Stein and Chazen families. Doug Stein said families with property on the mountain will be allowed past the gate. He said those using the road have trespassed on private and created extensive erosion problems. He said one shirtless, intoxicated man on a four-wheeler recently lost power on his vehicle and helped himself to a nearby golf cart while golfers were out on the course. He said the man drove away on the cart and was later apprehended. There has been a long-running controversy about use of the road, and the matter went to court at a time when Jimmy Chapin was the managing partner at Cummings Cove. Mr. Stein said his group now has a good relationship with property owners on the mountain. The approval was for a "temporary Use" of gating the road. __________________
