OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS BOARD
JUNE 20, 1991
PRESENT: RICK NElLY, TOM CARDAMONE, MARK FULLER, CHRIS LANDRY,
MARK LOEB, MAUREEN AMUNDSON, HAL CLARK, DEAN YOUNG
The meeting began with Chris Landry explaining his overall big
picture to the Board members present. Chris reviewed his sources
of information for the cataloging of Pitkin County Open Space. In
his short time working for the Board he has unearthed a great
deal of valuable resources, which he feels will save him
tremendous amounts of research time. Rick Neily wondered if
Chris had broken down the project into subdivisions; Chris
responded in the affirmative and plans on using the subdivisions
already established by the city and County Planning Departments.
Chris and Mark also mentioned that their final product will be
compatible with the GIS.
Tom Cardamone expressed his concerns for wildlife. Tom hopes that
the work of both the Board and the interns will be beneficial to
the preservation of wildlife in the valley.
Dean Young, Broker Associate with Remax, made a presentation to
the Board on property adjoining Herron Park on the North
Boundary, thereby expanding the park. The parcel known as the
Tacker Property, is approximately 21,000 square feet, with
approximately 100 feet of Roaring Fork River frontage with the
same level terrain as Herron Park. In addition, the property has
a five bedroom house, suggestions for which include its
development for employees housing, or even remodel ing into a
duplex. The property is listed at $1.2 million. The owner has an
interest in making this property available to the city.
The property is listed on the open market.
Rick Neily asked if the owner has been in contact with anyone in
the city. Dean replied that yes, brief contact has been
established with the city concerning this property and a possible
trade.
Everyone present felt that this property is worth further
investigation. All were intrigued by the possibility of a joint
venture with the Housing Authority. Other possibilities included
splitting the purchase price and designing a co-operative
managerial agreement between the Housing Authority and the Board.
Both Rick and Tom, feel the property would be an excellent
location for urban open space. Hal Clark was also excited by the
idea and will be lobbying hard in attempt to see the transaction
accomplished. This property will be discussed with the other
Board members next week. A copy of the proposal is attached to
these minutes.

The last item of business concerns the Klein Property. Rick
wants to put an offer on the Klein property. To that end Rick
will be contacting appraisers in an attempt to get a quick letter
of estimation of value. Both Mark and Rick agree, that they do
not need a full appraisal, even though it is their first
purchase, since it is such an uncomplicated purchase. All present
agreed that the Board needs to take action in the acquisition of
this property. In addition, the residents of Redstone are also
very interested to see that the property is acquired.
Rick proposed the possibility of keeping the Board meetings to
one hour.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
