"As indicated in the environmental studies conducted on this site, the Case property contains a variety of natural resources that are both sensitive and unique. El Paso County has a long history of preserving our county's 'special places' that contain unique natural environments. Staff is concerned that the cultural and natural resources found in the Corral Bluffs area may be jeopardized with the installation of an OHV trail system. In addition, the wildlife and noise ordinance issues will restrict the ability to design an effective trail system. With this in mind, staff recommends that we discontinue the assessment process of an OHV trail system at this site."

A motion was made by Commissioner Lathen that the remaining funds be used to research alternate sites for an OHV park. This motion was unanimously approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

A sincere thank you to the many, many people who helped to save Corral Bluffs.
