CONCERNING PROPERTY OBTAINED BY THE COUNTY BY TREASURER'S DEED
WHEREAS, Pitkin County has obtained certain parcels of real estate
situate within the County by conveyance to the County by Treasurer's Deed, and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the County to preserve such real
estate for present or future projects to promote the public health, public
welfare and conservation of natural resources, and
WHEREAS, 80% of the lands within Pitkin County are within the
boundaries of the White River National Forest which includes the Snowmass-
Maroon Bells Wilderness area, and
WHEREAS, the economy of Pitkin County in recent years has developed
primarily as a resort and recreation center with heavy usage of the forest
lands for such purposes including but not limited to camping, hiking, skiing,
horseback riding, and similar uses, and
WHEREAS, most of the lands acquired by Pitkin County at tax sales
are mining claims and enclaves within the national forest, and
WHEREAS, developments within the national forest lands and upon other
properties held by the County under tax deeds would interfere with the recreation
and resort uses to which such lands are now being applied and would impair the
economy of the area and would be a financial burden upon the County and the
other special districts situate therein to provide services to any such
developments, and
