RESOLUTION: 2003-5
SUBJECT: Authorization of an intergovernmental agreement with the Foothills Park and Recreation District for the Master Planning of the proposed parkland on the Fehringer Ranch Property.
ADDRESS: 11597 W. Quincy Ave.
RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Community Resources recommends the approval of this resolution authorizing an agreement with the Foothills Park and Recreation District for the Master Planning of the proposed parkland on the Fehringer Ranch Property.
FUNDING SOURCE: Lakewood's Conservation Trust Fund, Great Outdoors Colorado, Jefferson County Open Space, Foothills Park and Recreation District.
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER: In the late 1990's the City of Lakewood in conjunction with Jefferson County, the Jefferson County School District, Foothills Parks and Recreation District, the Jefferson County Public Library, the Denver Water Board, and various other agencies developed a conceptual master plan for the eventual development of the Fehringer Ranch Property. Each agency took the lead in certain aspects of the development of the property from that conceptual plan.
The City applied for and received in 1999 a planning grant from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) to develop a master plan for the development of the proposed parkland on the property. The cost of the planning is to be split: $45,000 from GOCO, and $15,000 each from Jefferson County, Lakewood, and Foothills.
Master Planning was contingent on the adoption of the Official Development Plan and platting of the Ranch property by Jefferson County and the Denver Water Board. The Official Development Plan (ODP) was finally adopted in July of 2002. Platting or acquisition by Jefferson County Open Space is anticipated to occur in the next six months. With the adoption of the ODP, land designated for parks and open space is easily distinguished and planned. The Foothills Park and Recreation District (District) will be taking the lead in master planning the parkland. The City of Lakewood will be involved in the process, and will be asked to approve the recommended master plan for the parkland.
In order to expeditiously begin the planning process, it is believed that a contract with the District is necessary to facilitate GOCO reimbursement of the planning costs. This resolution will authorize such a contract.
