VisionWhen Frank Krejci of Century Development in Omaha, Nebraska hired us* to create a Master Plan for the Mountain King Ranch, he set the bar high:
“When I bought the five homestead ranches running along the Wyoming Range and aggregated them into the 31,000 acre Mountain King Ranch, I knew that I wanted this special place to become a world class recreational ranch by improving the equestrian, hunting and fishing assets. I also wanted the cowboy and cattle ranching operations to continue, in balance with the hunting and fishing, tapping into the history and spirit of the American West. I knew that with a big long term vision and consistent investment in conservation, the Ranch would be an incredible natural reserve with miles of forest boundary, thousands of acres of irrigated grasslands, miles of mountain streams and private meadows all teaming with magnificent fish, game birds, raptors and abundant wildlife. The master plan will allow me to share the ranch with a very limited group of partners who want to help accomplish this grand vision.”
* The Master Plan team includes Charlie Kees of DHM Design, Bozeman MT; Steve Duerr of Jackson Hole Real Estate Associates
Group, the exclusive Wyoming affiliate of Christies International Real Estate in Jackson Hole WY; and owner Frank Krejci, Century
Development, Omaha NE (additional biographical information can be found in the Appendix at the end of the report).

Geographic SettingMountain King Ranch is located approximately 70 miles south of Jackson Hole, Wyoming and 20 miles west of Pinedale in Sublette County, Wyoming. Sublette County is said to be the least populated county in the least populated state in the nation, with no full-time signal lights to this day. The county ranges in elevation from 6,280 feet in the valley to 13,800 feet in the Wind River Range and boasts more than 1,300 glacier fed lakes. The three spectacularly beautiful mountain ranges, the Wind River, Gros Ventre and Wyoming Ranges, give birth to numerous fast-flowing streams that find their way into the Green River. The north and south forks of Horse Creek and the North Fork of Cottonwood Creek flow down from the Wyoming Range and meander eastward across the ranch for a combined approximate 35 miles of live water.
The vast expanse of the Mountain King Ranch Reserve (about 95 square miles) is apparent on the map on the following page showing the proximity of the outfitting permit area on the U.S. Forest Service Land (approximately 30,000 acres, 47 sections) and the ranch deeded area and state leases along the north and south forks of Horse Creek and North Cottonwood Creek (about 31,000 acres, 48 sections). The cattle and outfitting operations stretch for miles across approximately 31,783 intact acres with 29,823 deeded acres and 1,960 acres of Wyoming leased lands (approximately 15 miles by 8 miles), plus the contiguous Forest Service outfitting permit area. Thousands of acres of irrigated grassland may have a summer capacity to carry up to 7,000 head of cattle. Except for a short distance at the southern end of the ranch where the Cottonwood-Rye Grass county road heads up and across the Wyoming Range at McDougal Gap, no public roads cross the ranch. The western boundary of the ranch is bordered by remote and undisturbed national forest for almost 10 miles. This U.S. Forest Service land is part of the Bridger Teton National Forest and Wilderness complex located at the southern end of the Greater Yellowstone Region as shown on the map on Page 4. This astonishing area represents almost 20 million acres of pristine forests, mountains, rivers and streams. Jim Bridger and Bill Sublette, from whom the county and forest derive their names, were mountain men and part of the fur trapping brigade that included Hugh Glass. Their names were made famous for their part in leaving old Hugh to die after he was mauled by a Grizzly, as portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the recent movie Revenant.

Historical Setting and The Old West LegacyNear the ranch three well-known archaeological sites place indigenous peoples living in the area surrounding Mountain King Ranch for thousands of years. The Wardell Buffalo Trap is the oldest known kill site where hunters used bows and arrows, and dates back approximately 1,000 years. The Trapper’s Point Antelope Kill Site has been radiocarbon dated to between 7,880 to 4,690 years old and archaeologists excavating the J. David Love Site in the Jonah Field south of present Pinedale uncovered the oldest burial site in Wyoming, dating back 7,200 years. Archaeological data suggests that people have lived in the region for at least 9,000 years. Archaeologists also believe all of the natives were seasonal, moving out during the winter and returning for the summer with the buffalo and other big game.
The first Euro-Americans to arrive in the Rocky Mountain region came for the beaver living in the mountain streams and rivers. The tributaries of the Green River that run across the ranch were heavily trapped by the mountain men. Historians consider 1820 to 1840 the peak years of the beaver fur trade. At a spot visible from the high ridges of the ranch, the annual trappers’ rendezvous was held near the junction of Horse Creek and the Green River near Daniel, WY. There the season’s take in pelts was traded for powder and ball, Green River skinning knives, traps, blankets, trade beads and whiskey.

Starting in the early 1840s, at first a trickle and later a flood of people began making the 2,000 mile trek from the Midwest to Oregon and California. As many as half a million people crossed the famous South Pass at the south end of the Wind River Range, an area visible from the ranch on a clear day. The Lander Cut Off of the Oregon Trail crossed the Green River just south of the ranch heading over the Wyoming Range at Big Piney.

Ranching Operations at Mountain King Ranch ReserveThe next generation of western pioneers started trailing cattle back to the lush high mountain meadows and river valleys. By the 1870s, vast herds of cattle were turned out and fattened on Wyoming grass and in the fall trailed to the distant rail spurs and shipped to eastern markets. Cattlemen discovered that, like the native buffalo, their stock could graze year-round on sparse but nutritious prairie grasses that cured on the stem in the dry climate.
The names of the five ranch stations located on the property take their names from some of these early cattlemen and other place names on the ranch. Names like, Greenwood, Lloyd, Jensen, Haines, Jewett, Connor, Taylor and Boroff represent five generations of connections to the ranch. Back then in the area of what is still known as the Green River Drift (a national historic trail and cultural site in continuous use since 1896) cattle

drives from the Cora-Pinedale-Daniel-Boulder areas to rail spurs like Opal further south often took about a month. Starting in the late 1920s and early 1930s, ranchers began using trucks to haul cattle, although trailing cattle to market continued in the county into the early 1940s. Some of the earliest Sublette County cattle ranches still operate today with fifth or sixth generations running the businesses. Cowboys on horseback moving herds are still a common sight.

The Mountain King Ranch Reserve homestead owners will be privileged to experience this life of the golden west. The big herds must be rotated across the ranch during the summer and gathered for shipping in the fall. While the 25,000 sf indoor arena and stables are a welcome amenity, the cowboy life can be experienced just like the olden days. This is truly a place where the cattle still roam, where the deer and the antelope play and the skies are not cloudy all day. Under mountain blue bird blue skies, elk, moose, deer and antelope all mingle with the cattle under the watchful eyes of not just the ranch cowboys, but hawks, eagles, falcons, mountain lions, black bears and the occasional wolf or grizzly bear.

RANCH MASTER PLANMaster Plan Overview and the Shared Ranch ConceptFrank Krejci’s fundamental objective when designing the master plan was to create a unique parcel of land that would allow the entire aggregated ranch to be kept intact and be sold to a very limited exclusive group of like-minded new ranch owners. Each family would own a separate large parcel on which they could choose to build a private home within a designated homestead building envelope while still being able to enjoy the entire ranch for hunting, fishing or cowboying as part of the sprawling cattle operations. Through the master planning process and analysis it was decided that an approximate maximum of 10% of the ranch would be privately owned leaving the remaining 90% wide open and shared for recreational ranch uses.

The Mountain King Ranch Reserve Association, comprised of board members who own the private homestead parcels, would manage the common area of almost 27,000 acres, including the staff: the cattle operations manager; the hunting and fishing operations manager, and the manager for the association. Because the ranch can support as many as 7,000 head of cattle, the operations of the ranch are financially self-supporting. The association may be able to return an annual profit to the shared ranch owners from the cattle and outfitting operations. The Ranch Reserve Association members will also manage the water and mineral rights that are part of the property rights of the ranch. The master plan Frank imagined would allow the homestead owners to experience with their families all the beauty, history, privacy and activities of a historic western ranch and outfitting business, without the significant hassles and expenses as an individual owner. Most importantly, it is through mindful stewardship of the land and water that these private uses are consistent with collaborative implementation of the Ranch Reserve vision for the benefit of future generations.

Master Planning Strategy and ProcessThe master planning process for Mountain King Ranch was a multi-faceted one that involved a careful analysis of the resources within the property boundary and their roles in the larger regional ecosystem. Because there are a variety of amenities that could appeal to an individual looking to purchase a homestead, the development opportunities, existing conditions, conservation values, and the sportsman and recreation opportunities were all inventoried and assessed for their potential value within the context of a shared ranch. The master plan analysis synthesizes information drawn from a variety of sources including individual research, available county and state data, site visits, and local knowledge.
Guide to the Master Plan MapsDHM Design prepared a series of maps that graphically describe the master plan by showing the ranch boundaries, locations of the major geographic features, water courses, ranch stations, Summit House and other proposed building improvements, ranch operations, recreational activity areas, the extensive network of private roads on the ranch, and the airport. The overall Ranch Master Plan map is shown on the following page and represents the entire ranch and the adjacent lands. This large master plan map describes the entire ranch parcel and identifies the major features and amenities including proposed improvements and homestead parcels. The dashed boxes shown on the plan indicate the areas shown in greater detail on the enlargement maps found throughout this report. Larger versions of each of these maps can also be found in the Appendix at the end of this report.
The 5 Ranch StationsAs mentioned, most of the Ranch Stations bear the names of historic ranch families. The Mountain King Ranch Reserve aggregation includes five well maintained ranch homes, shops and operational cattle ranch sorting and shipping facilities. The five stations shown on the master plan are as follows:
• Ranch Station I - South Horse Creek
• Ranch Station II - Cottonwood Creek (Jewett Ranch)
• Ranch Station III - Lloyd / Greenwood Ranch
• Ranch Station IV - Taylor Ranch
• Ranch Station V - Boroff RanchTaylor Ranch, Wyoming Range in the Distance

Conservation ValuesThe Mountain King Ranch has a number of exceptional conservation values associated with the land. The varied habitat resources and ecological communities on the Mountain King Ranch provide opportunities for a multitude of wildlife species on the property. Data analysis and literature review provide documentation that the ranch provides habitat ranges for a significant number of game and non-game species. Species include those such as Elk, Moose, Mule Deer, Pronghorn Antelope, Sage Grouse, and other key non-game wildlife species whose ranges are described in the text and diagrams shown on the following pages.
R A N C H M A S T E R P L A N
Wildlife Diagrams The following diagrams describe the individual habitat and migration patterns for a variety of key species that inhabit Mountain King Ranch and the surrounding area. The following terms are found in the descriptions of each diagram and define the various categories for habitat range:
• Crucial Range: A habitat component that is the determining factor in a population’s ability to maintain itself over time.
• Winter/Yearlong Range: A population of animals that makes general use of the habitat within this range on a year round basis. But during the winter months (between 12/1 and 4/30), there is a significant influx of additional animals into the area from other seasonal ranges.
• Spring/Summer/Fall Range: A population of animals use the habitats within the range annually only to the onset of persistent winter conditions (variable but commonly this period is between 5/1 and 11/14).
In Winter 800 to 1,000 Head of Elk Reside near the Jewett Elk Feed Ground Near Ranch Station I

Seasonal Range - The ranch falls within the Crucial Winter Range for Moose. Areas along South Horse Creek, North Cottonwood Creek, and Killpecker Creek are identified as Crucial Habitat for Moose. The entire ranch falls within the Spring, Summer, Fall range.
Migration Routes - There are two main migration routes, however it would seem that all of the drainages containing wetland and riparian habitats at the lowest elevations should be considered as a possible migration route for moose. The migration routes cross the property in its entirety and there is a calving area to the east of the ranch.

Seasonal Range - The entire ranch is within the spring/ summer/ fall range for elk with a small section on the western edge designated as crucial winter/ yearlong range. Parturition habitat is to the west of the property in the Wyoming Range.
Migration Routes - During the winter months elk migrate to the lower elevation areas on the ranch from the high country to the west where they spend summers.
Migration Barriers - There is a cattle drift fence identified as migration route barrier, however, this is likely not a complete barrier to movement.
Feeding Grounds- The Jewett Elk Winter Feed ground is on a state section of land within the ranch.

Combined Habitat AnalysisAs a way of understanding the wildlife values as a whole, all six individual diagrams were overlaid into a single combined habitat diagram shown to the right. What becomes apparent is that the ranch is positioned at the intersection of key habitat ranges for a multitude of game and non-game wildlife species creating a special place rich in natural resources and high in conservation values.

The Ranch Reserve HomesitesTo assure the world class quality of trophy hunting and fishing, the traditional equestrian cowboy ranch operations are maintained, and the long term vision of the reserve is accomplished, the number of new homestead owners could range from 6 up to 11. With the retained Krejci family parcel including the Summit House, the total number of ranch owners would range from 7 up to no more than 12. The homestead parcels will all be 280 deeded acres including a 5 acre building site. While development can occur in the building envelope consistent with guidelines, no development and no fencing can occur outside the envelope. This limited impact will maintain the wide open feel of the ranch and the flow of the wildlife and cattle grazing.
Also, the large 280 acre tracts and 5 acre building envelopes will be clustered near existing roads, water and underground power to limit disturbance of land and wildlife. It is Frank’s general plan to locate homesites strategically and to complete ranch roads and extend power to the property line of each new parcel. There are two areas set forth for this development on the maps: the Ranch Station I, South Horse Creek Area and the Ranch Station IV, Taylor Ranch Area.
The parcels are large so that owners will have the opportunity to apply for annual land owner licenses consistent with the regulations of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Under those regulations, the minimum acreage is 160. The species available for such tags are deer, elk and antelope. Annual coordination with the local Game Warden would determine whether the property has supported the required number of animals to qualify for landowner licenses.
Landscape Surrounding Ranch Station IV and Possible Homesites H - K

R A N C H M A S T E R P L A NHomestead parcels are clustered in two main locations adjacent to significant ranch amenity centers. Six homestead parcels (A - F) and the Krejci family parcel are located in the vicinity of Ranch Station I, South Horse Creek, where the ranch headquarters and main lodge may eventually be located (see map on page 19). The initial six parcels are nestled into the existing Aspen forests in an area of the ranch with interesting topographical features and significant big game habitat. Potentially, four more parcels (H - K) could be located adjacent to Ranch Station IV, Taylor Ranch (see map on page 20). These parcels could take advantage of the spectacular views across the confluence of north and south Horse Creeks and the immensely rich waterfowl habitat that surrounds Horse Creek as it flows east towards the Green River. Another potential parcel (G) could be located near Ranch Station V (shown below), Boroff Ranch, along North Horse Creek with sweeping views of the Wyoming Range to the west. Maps showing the potential homesites surrounding Ranch Stations I and IV can be seen on the enlargement plans on the next two pages. The red lined homestead parcel boundaries A-K are conceptual and may be modified to accomodate roads, utilities or other appropriate considerations.

Master Plan Enlargement showing Homestead Parcel G at Ranch Station V
There were several major considerations taken into account when siting the homestead parcels in the context of the whole property. The first major consideration was the proximity to existing infrastructure and amenities on the ranch. Clustering the homestead parcels around two of the more developed Ranch Stations would take advantage of existing infrastructure to reduce future development costs and disturbances to the land while also allowing amenity centers such as ranch headquarters and outfitting to be easily accessible by ranch owners. The second major factor was how these concentrations of homesteads would interact with the existing ecology. The combined habitat diagram on page 16 shows that the two concentrations of homestead parcels have been strategically located to take advantage of differing areas of high conservation values on the ranch. The homestead parcels adjacent to Ranch Station I are strategically located in areas that will have low impact on habitat but are proximal to big game migration routes to facilitate hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities. The homestead parcels surrounding Ranch Station V, on the other hand, are located at the intersection of a large number of species habitat ranges and a river system providing close proximity to fishing, waterfowl hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities.

Shared Ranch Reserve Improvements and AmenitiesThrough the master planning process opportunities for improvement and the creation of amenity centers were identified across the ranch property. The scale of possible improvements ranges from the construction of the possible new South Horse Creek Lodge at Ranch Station I to the possible addition of small, off-grid picnic shelters along North Cottonwood Creek.
Headquarters Home & ShopWhile all ranch stations include a comfortable ranch residence, cattle handling facilities and work shop, the HQ site at Ranch Station I is the most complete. Frank intends that the existing home will be converted to use as a shared ranch amenity. For those homestead parcel owners who have not constructed a home at their building envelope, or those owners who have a residence but need more rooms for visiting guests, this home will meet their needs. The use of the home will be managed by the Ranch Reserve Association manager.

Stables and ArenaThe 25,000 square foot indoor heated riding arena and adjoining spacious fully equipped indoor horse stables are of very high quality and are in like new condition from lack of use since their construction in the mid-1990s. This is a splendid shared ranch amenity for ranch owners who love horses and the cowboy life. This facility will also be managed by the Ranch Reserve Association manager.

Ranch Station II Enlargement Plan(See Appendix for Enlarged Version)
R A N C H M A S T E R P L A NRANCH STATION II
Cottonwood Creek/ Jewett RanchThe southern half of Mountain King Ranch, in the area known as North Cottonwood Ranch, currently maintains a conservation easement on the land. Existing development is limited to ranch facilities in two building envelopes within the easement (represented by the small blue areas on the Ranch Master Plan) and three uninhabitable historic homestead cabins on the property. Current cattle ranch operations are conducted out of Ranch Station II adjacent to North Cottonwood Creek and will continue to serve this function in addition to the proposed improvements to this area. North Cottonwood Creek maintains significant water flows year round and provides excellent fishing opportunities and was therefore identified as the best possible site to locate the ranch’s fishing headquarters. The Ranch Station II enlargement plan above shows the proposed improvements associated with the fishing headquarters. To facilitate Ranch Station II’s role as a fishing destination, the addition of three fishing cabins is being proposed within the building envelope along the creek. A trail system and series of picnic shelters are also being proposed along the creek to enhance the fishing experience and help limit the potential impacts on the landscape.
24
R A N C H M A S T E R P L A NOutpost CabinsIt is Frank’s vision to provide ranch owners the opportunity to recreate across the entire ranch offering amazing seasonal diversity of uses (hunt or fish, ATV or snowmobile, ride mountain bikes or ride horses). Possibly locating off the grid cabins (solar or propane energy) in prime recreation areas could allow the owners to plan a day trip with a destination and opportunity to stay overnight.
As adventure examples, after saddling up at Ranch Station I a family could ride to North Cottonwood Creek, the best fishing creek on the ranch, stop at the fishing cabin for lunch, put their horses in the corral, fish all day, and enjoy an evening meal by the fireplace. After a good night sleep, they could fish the morning and then saddle up to ride back to the stables.
Or, a family could ride up the ridge east of the stables for an afternoon lunch at the Airport Road Hawk’s Rest overlook cabin. Upon arrival they could put their horses in the corral, open up their prepared lunches and enjoy the 360 degree, 100 mile views.This location provides the most astounding place to see the whole ranch and three mountain ranges, the Wyoming Range, the Sawtooths of the Gros Ventre Range and the high glaciated peaks of the Wind River Ranges, from Union Pass to the North all the way down to famous South Pass, including Wyoming’s tallest mountain, Gannett Peak at 13,809’.

These cabins could have modern comforts but be rustic in appearance. They could be cozy, not large, complete with wood fireplace and outside fire pits. They could be supplied with food and drinks under the supervision of the Ranch Reserve Association manager.
25
R A N C H M A S T E R P L A N
Frank believes that these proposed cabins could expand the recreation opportunities for the shared ranch owners. After consultation with prospective homestead owners, the number and location agreed upon for the proposed cabins will be described in a definitive phased construction plan in the Ranch Improvements Agreement with the initial shared ranch owners. The possible cabin locations are designated on the DHM Design Ranch Master Plan and enlargement maps with an orange circle and summarized as follows:
• Taylor Ponds Cabin, near Ranch Station IV• North Horse Creek Cabin, near Ranch Station V• Connor Reservoir Cabin, near Ranch Station V• Jensen Cabin near the Forest Service Boundary on South Horse Creek • Hawk’s Rest Overlook Cabin at Airport Road, above Ranch Station I• Elk Feed Ground Pond Overlook Cabin, west of Ranch Station I• North Cottonwood Creek HQ Cabin, near Ranch Station II• North Cottonwood Creek Homestead Barn Cabin, downstream Ranch Station II
~ The future uses of these shared ranch locations have yet to be determined: Ranch Station III the Lloyd/Greenwood homestead and the home at the airport.

Jet Ready Air StripRanch Reserve owners will have the seasonal use of the paved airfield. At about 7,850’ this air field can accommodate most private and commercial aircraft. If weather or other conditions prohibit landing at the ranch, the Pinedale airport is only about 20 miles east and the Jackson Hole airport is only about 75 miles north. There are aviation fuel tanks and a waiting cabin located at the air field. The entire air field area is completely fenced including an electric security gate, to help assure cattle and wildlife can not enter the landing area. It will be up to the new owners and the Ranch Reserve Association board of directors whether, where and when to build hangers at the airfield.
Connor Pasture Reservoir and Proposed Entrance RoadA new North entrance road is planned off the paved county road near Merna at Ranch Station V, through the Boroff Ranch as indicated by the dashed line in the map above. This road will provide a sense of a private grand entrance, with a bridge over Horse Creek in a spectacular Cottonwood grove, reducing the distance to the Ranch Station I area by approximately 8 miles. A reservoir and recreational cabin are also planned for the beautiful meadow below Merna Butte called the Connor Horse Pasture.

The Founding GuidelinesThe Articles of Incorporation of the Mountain King Ranch Reserve Association, Inc. (“Ranch Reserve Association”) will be established by Frank Krejci pursuant to the Wyoming Non Profit Corporation Act, prior to the closing on the minimum required number of sales of homestead parcels.
Guiding PrinciplesThe Articles of Incorporation of the Ranch Reserve Association and the Covenants, will establish the legal framework of the ranch to be managed by the Ranch Reserve Association board of directors. At the time of formation of the Ranch Reserve Association, the Declaration of Covenants will be approved by the shared ranch homestead owners and recorded. Frank Krejci will be the initial Declarant of the Covenants to be approved by each of the homestead owners. The board may hire an Association Manager and shall set the annual budget for the entire ranch operations including the cattle and outfitting operations. Each Ranch Reserve Homestead owner will be represented on the board of directors.
THE RANCH RESERVE ASSOCIATION
28
Guiding PrinciplesThe Covenants will require a super majority vote to allow amendments to the guiding principles of the Covenants and the Master Plan. The Covenants will allow the board to make the more ordinary limited scope decisions by simple majority vote. The master plan maps will form the foundation for the Covenants to assure continuity of governance of the Ranch Reserve with enough flexibility to adjust to changing circumstances. The guiding principles of the Covenants are summarized as follows:
• That the spectacular Mountain King Ranch will be kept intact with its vast open spaces preserved in their entirety for the use, benefit and enjoyment of the Ranch Reserve Homestead Owners and generations to come.
• That the Ranch Reserve’s incredible variety of wildlife species, big game ungulates, raptors, water fowl, upland game birds, predators and fish will be sustained and enhanced.
• That the Ranch Reserve’s scenic grandeur will be preserved.
• That the Ranch Reserve will remain a working cattle ranch in the tradition of the legacy of The Old West.
• That the Ranch Reserve Homestead Owners will enjoy a sense of privacy, seclusion and solitude.
• That the Ranch Reserve Homestead Owners will enjoy the pleasures inherent in owning a big western working ranch with world class hunting and fishing, including participation in the cattle and outfitting operations and the diverse recreational opportunities across the entire ranch and adjoining public lands and forests, as coordinated by the Ranch Reserve Association.
T H E R A N C H R E S E R V E A S S O C I AT I O N
29
Common Area Use GuidelinesThese guidelines will allow the Ranch Reserve Association to protect the common areas of the ranch property values and interests by limiting intrusive activities that are not in accord with the common overarching Ranch Reserve values. It will further assure that each Ranch Reserve Homestead Owner will have the right to use all the recreational activities on the ranch, including hunting and fishing, the use of the arena and stables, the use of all the rustic cabins, the use of HQ home and shop, and the use of the airport as coordinated by the Ranch Reserve Association manager. An existing home near the airport could serve as the residence of the Association manager. Hunting and fishing activities will be managed by the Outfitting Manager, who resides at Ranch Station V. Cattle, horse and cowboying activities will be managed by the Cattle Operations Manager, who resides at Ranch Station II.
Homestead GuidelinesThese guidelines will set forth restrictions for the Ranch Reserve Homestead lands, in order to protect property values and the rights of all Ranch Reserve Homestead Owners. It will limit the primary purpose of each homestead to residential use, and limit occupancy of each homestead to one primary family and their guests.

30
T H E R A N C H R E S E R V E A S S O C I AT I O NStock & Wildlife Management GuidelinesThese guidelines will provide the Ranch Reserve Association a framework to maintain and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and manage all hunting and fishing on the ranch.
Design Review GuidelinesThese guidelines will limit development on the Ranch Reserve Homesteads to preserve the scenic grandeur and western ranch look, feel and values. The Ranch Reserve Association board of directors will create a Design Review Committee to review all proposed Homestead and common area development or improvements. The Design Review Manual will set forth specific procedures, guidelines and requirements to govern the review process. Since it is intended that all Ranch Reserve Homestead structures and improvements will blend seamlessly into the ranch, each Ranch Reserve Homestead building envelope of five acres is identified in the master plan in a location to assure no visual intrusion and maintain privacy.
Proposed Improvement AgreementThe master plan and the contract documents at the time of a purchase will include an Improvements Completion Agreement with Mountain King Ranch LLC, owned by the Frank R. Krejci Trust of which Frank Krejci is the sole trustee. The Improvements Completion Agreement will include a selection and definitive description of the improvements that are only proposed in this Master Plan as possible recreational ranch improvements.

Air Service to Jackson Hole, WY Jackson Hole, Wyoming is about 75 miles to the north of Mountain King Ranch and provides all the activity of a World Class Destination Ski Resort and the jumping off town for Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
If you are not landing your jet at the Mountain King Ranch airstrip or the Pinedale airfield, Jackson Hole airport provides connections to many major U.S. metropolitain areas.
33
TAX B E N E F I T SWyoming Tax BenefitsThere are numerous reasons why those who live in Jackson Hole have chosen to have their primary residences here. Some of those reasons are emotional, such as the sheer beauty of the natural surroundings and the overall quality of life. Other reasons are more practical in scope and include Wyoming’s overall tax-climate benefits. For years, Bloomberg has rated Wyoming as the most tax-friendly state in the U.S.
Here’s Why...
• No personal or corporate state income tax• Shield your real estate from federal estate
taxes for up to 1,000 years through a dynasty trust. A key point to remember is that the trust must be administered in Wyoming
• No inheritance tax or estate tax. Wyoming repealed its estate tax as of Jan 1, 2005
• No state gift tax. You can ‘ gift’ your real estate to your heirs without paying a tax
• No tax on out-of-state retirement income• Low property taxes compared to other
states• No excise taxes. When you fill up your
car’s gas tank or buy a bag of groceries in Wyoming, you won’t pay any state tax on your gas or food
• No intangible taxes on financial assets like stocks and bonds
• No tax on the sale of real estate• No tax on mineral ownership
Mountain King Ranch Reserve Conservation Values The vast open spaces and wildlife habitat of the ranch have significant conservation value. The homestead owners and ranch reserve association may cooperate to their mutual benefit to consider the tax benefits available with conservation easement planning. Also, since the ranch is within the critical core area for Wyoming’s sage grouse conservation strategy, planning a conservation bank on the ranch may provide an additional income stream. Tax professionals and conservation organizations can provide more information upon request.

Frank KrejciPresident and CEO, Century Development
Frank R. Krejci is President and CEO of Century Development, Omaha, Nebraska. After serving in combat in the Tenth Mountain Infantry Division in WWII, Frank returned to Omaha and began his business career with the ownership of Fleetline Auto Body in January 1947. Frank parlayed early profits into the purchase of his first parcel of real estate in 1950.
Since that first purchase 66 years ago and since 1971, Mr. Krejci has been involved in real estate transactions totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, lands totaling over 75,000 acres, hundreds of thousands of feet of commercial development and thousands of residential dwellings.
T H E M A S T E R P L A N T E A M
Since Frank did his first residential subdivision in 1960, some of his Omaha real estate developments involving corporations of note include Oriental Trading Company, First Data Resources and Google. Office, commercial and industrial developments in the Omaha area include: Nicholas Plaza, Blackstone Centre, Bedford Plaza, Pacific Springs, Centech Business Park, Millard Business Park, HiPoint Plaza, 203rd Plaza, and buildings in the North Park and Old Mill office centers.
Some Omaha area retail developments include: Brentwood Square Shopping Center, Hillsborough Plaza, Oakview Mall, Nebraska Crossing Outlet Mall, Crossroads Mall and other retail developments: shopping centers, hospitality, power centers, housing, etc. in Arizona.
Some residential developments in Omaha are highlighted by the following: Eastpointe & Pointe Apartments; Piedmont subdivision; Elk Ranch Estates and Indian Pointe; West Shores (a 600 acre residential and mixed use commercial lake development). Some residential development outside of the Omaha area include: Valley Shores (a residential lake development in Valley, Nebraska); Bent Tree residential golf course subdivision in Council Bluffs, Iowa; Fountain View Village in Fountain Hills, Arizona, and condo projects in Destin, Florida and South Padre Island, Texas. Other acreage developments include: Greenbrier, Trailridge Ranches, Town Ranch Estates, Southgate Estates, Hidden Hills, Bennington Acres, Whispering Oaks, and others.
Frank’s current real estate holdings encompass property in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Missouri, Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming. Frank has recently purchased 4 ranches in Sublette County, Wyoming totaling more than 31,000 contiguous acres as a working cattle, recreation, and commercial hunting and fishing operation.
Frank’s best piece of advice: “don’t over leverage.”
