HomeMy WebLinkAbout11.0 Open Space Management Plan 20091204Spring Valley Ranch Open Space Management Plan
The Open Space being platted in Phase I will be deeded to the Homeowners Association
of Spring Valley Ranch. The basic maintenance for the open space will be handled
through the existing and ongoing Agriculture and Ranching lease with Jim Nieslanik and
his family. The Open Space will continue to be used for its historic and current purpose
of ranching cattle and growing alfalfa and hay for the animals. A list of allowable uses
within the two different Open Space districts as approved by the Board of County
Commissioners in Resolution No. 2008-55 are attached hereto.
The cost of the maintenance, including weed control, will be the sole responsibility of the
HOA and its leasee. The use of the open space during ranching season will be for that
use only, however during the winter, ownership does intend to allow its neighbors to
cross country ski in the meadow with permission of the ranch manager.
Due to the nature of the final plat for phase I of Spring Valley Ranch, permanent
preservation of the open space will be addressed during phase II due to the fact that no
new development is intended as part of this plat. Spring Valley's owner does not intend
to disturb the peace and serenity of the current ranch with the phase I plat.
