There are several options for <br /> ownership and/or care of the open space: <br /> 1. Homeowners association owns the open space except the trail corridor. Deed <br /> restrictions to address open space protection. A management-plan for the open <br /> space is part of the homeowners association by-laws. <br /> 2. Homeowners association owns the operispace except the trail corridor. The <br /> City holds an easement over the open space that restricts activity in the open space <br /> and gives this enforcement authority to the City. Monitoring of the easement <br /> n areas is the responsibility of the City. A management plan for the open space is <br /> part of the homeowners association by-laws. <br /> 3. City owns all the open space. City is responsible for management of open <br /> space. <br /> Staff recommended option 2. <br /> Mayor Sullivan stated the.Council needs a draft process and schedule before Monday <br /> night regarding:City;involvement in the open space. The City must also get an escrow or <br /> endowment to cover the expense of management of the open space. <br /> J.P. Houchins, Environmental Board, stated it was the consensus of the Environmental <br /> Board that if the land owners have a homeowners association they care more about the <br /> open space and take care of it better. The City does need some control to make sure the <br /> open space is used properly. He noted the importance of getting a model development for <br /> this particular open space as this will be used as a model for other open space <br /> development. <br /> Mr. Smyser stated that in discussing the phasing of the development with Mr. Quigly, <br /> developer of Clearwater Creek, it was determined that he wanted to construct roads and <br /> utilities in an area large enough to include the park and much of the trail system in the <br /> first phase. This would be the western portion or about 135 lots. The second phase <br /> would be the northeast portion. The last phase would be the southeast portion. <br /> 5 <br />
