STATE PARKS BOARD MOTION: Motion: “I move the Board of Parks and Outdoor Recreation approve Twenty Thousand ($20,000) Dollars in matching funds for OHV Grant #31 to support the site planning process as outlined by the State Trails Committee and El Paso County Parks Department. Subsequent approval of land acquisition funding will be contingent upon the completion of the site planning process and a recommendation for approval by the State Trails Committee and a resolution of approval for the grant request by the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners.” STATE TRAILS COMMITTEE MOTION: The following is the motion for the OHV Grant #31 El Paso County OHV Park. The motion approves the grant with the contingency that the public process and environmental review will be complete as identified in the six steps of the El Paso County OHV Park Grant Presentation, Page 8. This planning will be presented to the State Trails Committee at the June 27th meeting. With the master planning process complete the grant can move forward as long as the project scope is similar to the original scope of the grant application. Motion by Deb Thorson: Recommend approval of OHV Grant #31 El Paso County OHV Park however, with a two step process in the contract. Planning money would be made available right away to complete the site master planning process. The land acquisition money would be made available contingent on the outcome of the site master planning process presentation made to the State Trails Committee in June. Gary Buffington seconded the motion. In Favor of approving the motion: Kevin Hall, Kae Rader, Debra Thorson, Britt Weygandt, Gary Buffington. One Opposed: Dick Bratton EL PASO COUNTY MASTER PLAN PROCESS FROM PAGE 8 OF OHV GRANT APPLICATION: OHV Park Master Plan Process 1. We will initially create a single track trail system (18" to 24" wide) designed only for motorcycle use. If we determine the facility can accommodate wider trails at a later date, we may elect to install trails to allow other types of OHV use. We will only construct 20 miles of trails even though the overall site could accommodate significantly more miles of trails. 2. Additional trails may be considered at a later date if it is determined that trail expansion can be accomplished without significant environmental / neighborhood impacts. 3. All OHVs will be required to pass a stringent sound test before admittance to the park is allowed. A liability waiver will also be required from all OHV participants which will also bind the participant to certain environmental ethics. 4. During the master planning process, we will complete an extensive site analysis to determine sensitive, natural resource areas and these areas will be excluded from OHV trail use. The analysis will include habitat research, soils and erosion studies, ecological research, archeological review, and other pertinent studies. 5. We will employ an inclusive master plan design process for this facility that will include representatives from the open space and OHV communities, staff from local park organizations, environmental and natural resource experts, neighbors, and interested citizens. 6. We will employ a national consultant with a proven track record of OHV trail design while preserving sensitive natural resources and preventing negative impacts to the property.
