Background:
The Crown Mountain Park and Recreation District was authorized by voters in November, 2002 and formally established in 2003. The District is operated according to the District Service Plan which can be found on the District's website (www.crownmountain.org). An amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plan was approved in 2004. That Plan determined the future development of park facilities, many of which have been installed over the last 5 years. The property where the Park is located is a 124-acre parcel in El Jebel, Colorado, approximately 7 miles east of Carbondale, Colorado, and 5 miles west of Basalt, Colorado. The parcel is located on Valley Road just south of Highway 82. It is bordered on the west by U.S. Forest Service property; to the south by the Roaring Fork River; and to the east by the Sopris Village subdivision. The property is the former site of a USDA Forest Service Tree Nursery. It is generally flat but slopes gently from the north to the south. In 2001-2 Eagle County constructed a Community Center, which includes County offices and meeting rooms, on the northeast corner of the property. A general map of the vicinity and a detailed map of the District property showing the approved PUD development plan, is attached. The Crown Mountain District manages the Park under a long-term lease from Eagle County, which has retained ownership of the entire property. The area under lease to the Crown Mountain District is approximately 60 acres in size.
