County commissioners will hold a workshop today to discuss whether dogs will be allowed at the new affordable homes in the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club development.

The workshop is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. in chambers at 200 S. Willow St. Because of the question, an announcement of who would get the right to buy homes will be delayed.

Christine Walker, executive director of the Teton County Housing Authority, said commissioners scheduled the workshop because there is some confusion about whether dogs can be permitted in the 22 new units.

When the housing authority advertised for applicants for the homes, potential homeowners were told they could have one dog, but it had to be restrained at all times.

According to today’s meeting notice, a condition in Golf & Tennis’ master plan states that free-roaming, unrestrained domestic pets are prohibited. After applications had been accepted, some residents said the master plan prohibits dogs in the affordable part of the resort.

“The record isn’t clear,” Walker said. That puts “the housing authority ... in a little bit of an awkward spot.”

The application period for the homes closed Wednesday afternoon. The housing authority received 130 applications for all the homes. Some people submitted applications multiple times because they qualified for several of the units.

Though lottery winners were scheduled to be announced Jan. 4, that will be postponed, Walker said.

Commissioners will hold a hearing on the matter Jan. 5, and owners will be selected after the board makes a determination about whether the master plan allows dogs, Walker said.
