There were only 5 public comments on the White
Acres parcel. All were in favor of purchasing. One comment was from
Don Ellis, who submitted the application for consideration, and three were from
mountainbikers. The Committee was specifically asking if any development
of the parcel was acceptable, which implies that they may seek to purchase a
portion of it rather than the whole thing. They also said that email
comments were welcome and that they could be emailed to Chris Lieber, the TOPS Program
Manager @ clieber@....
The Committee recognizes that this parcel
fits right into the Section 16/Red Rock Canyon vision, that any development on
the parcel would be highly visible, and that this parcel provides good
connector trails to other trails to complete loops, so you may want to give
them your take on these topics. The more comments they receive on this
parcel the better the chance of preserving it.
Let me know if you have any questions that
I might be able to help out with, and if you are unfamiliar with the parcel I’d
encourage you to check it out. Just remember that it is private property

16 Ridge trail (White Acres/Bethany Baptist Church parcel)
FYI, there is developer interest in this parcel, so a show of
support for preservation would go a long way towards trying to purchase as open
space. The proposed development, see below, would be highly visible and
pretty much wipe out all the cool trails.
“a developer is looking at this parcel
for subdivision. I believe that 4-5
lots are planned for the top of the hogbacks, 21 below, plus town homes
adjacent to the
road. “
Public comments will be taken during this agenda item, which is
scheduled for roughly 5:15pm.
