Ll -. «• N 9 • 1.� Approval of the Resolution. The City is seeking the acquisition of 19.9 acres of federal land that is located adjacent to the City's Honor Farm property. The federal government acquired the property in 1967 to be used as a substation site. In December 2004, the City received a letter from the General Services Administration (GSA) informing the City that this property (Case No. 7 -B -CO -0653) has been identified for disposal and if the City is interested in acquiring it that we need to submit a letter of interest. On January 13, 2005 the City submitted a letter to GSA informing them that we were interested in the property. As part of the federal acquisition procedures, the City is required to submit the attached application to the National Parks Service (who is the federal agency that reviev/s the land disposal applications for the GSA) for their approval. The 19.9 -acre parcel of land is vacant rangeland and is part of a 240 -acre endave of private properties that are surrounded by 4,000 acres public property known as the Honor Farm. The City owns 2,350 acres of the public property and Colorado State Parks owns the remaining 1,650 acres that is adjacent to the Lake Pueblo State Parts. The acquisition of the 19.9 acres would be a great addition to the City current ownership and would preclude private development between the City, Pueblo West, and the State Parks property. The property would be used for park and recreational purposes and utilized as open space land for the public. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City is requesting the property be transferred to the City of Pueblo at no cost. The City will be required to pay the necessary administrative expenses incidental to the transfer of the property. Those anticipated expenses might include the title insurance costs, closing costs, and recording fees. Expenses should not exceed $5,000.

(Signature) (Title) (Office) National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Federal Lands to Park Program Application Part A Page 6 of 6 PART B Program of Utilization and Justification for Acquiring Property 1. Description of Property a) Narrative: The dominant natural feature of the property is the open short grass prairie. The only structures on the property are power line with two poles for an electric transmission line that crosses the eastern side of the property. There is also a primitive maintenance road along the power line corridor. The remainder of the property is vacant without any structures, roads or man-made disturbances. The flat openness of the property is part of the generally undeveloped western edge of the City of Pueblo. The elevation ranges from 4,965 feet at the lower, southeast end of the Property, to 4,991 feet on the northwestern section. The Property is in the short grass prairie life zone. The 19.90+ -acre parcel is part of a 240 -acre enclave of properties surrounded by the area that is commonly known as the State Honor Farm, comprised of approximately 4,000 acres. The City of Pueblo owns 2,350 acres of this area and Colorado State Parks owns the remaining 1,650 acres that is part of Lake Pueblo State Park. An overhead power utility line is located between 25' and 80' of the north boundary of the property. There are no man made alterations of the property. b) Maps: The following maps are included as attachments: 1. Property Boundary - Attachment A (aerial photo with topography) 2. Honor Farm Area Map — Attachment B (showing City of Pueblo and State Parks property) 3. Locus Map — Attachment C (showing location of property within the Pueblo vicinity) c) Legal Description: A tract of land in the East' /2 of the Southwest 1 /4 (E % SW ' / 4), Section 20, Township 20 South, Range 65 West, Sixth Principal Meridian, being more particularly described as follows: Beginning at on the East line of said E %z SW ' / 4 of Section 20, North 00 °01'20" West, 765.8 feet from the South' /4 corner of said Section 20; thence South 89 °58'40" West, 900 feet; thence North 00 °01'20" West, 926.5 feet; thence North 85 °18'44" East, 903 feet to the East line of said E'' /2 SW '/4; thence South 00 °01'20" East along said East line 1000 feet to the point of beginning; containing 19.9 acres. d) Photographs: Two pages of photographs are included as Attachments D and E: 1. Photographs from the northeast and southeast corners of the property. 2. Photographs from the northwest and southwest corners of the property. 2. Program of Utilization a) Narrative: The property will be utilized as an extension of the City's adjacent open space property that will function as an undisturbed open space buffer between the City of Pueblo, Pueblo West, and Lake Pueblo State Park. The property contains generally undisturbed short grass prairie habitat. The property will be used for public park and recreational purposes and utilized as public open space. b) Schedule of Development: There is no scheduled improvements propose to be developed on this property. c) Site Plan: A map showing the property as public open space is included as Attachment F. d) Historic Preservation Plan: The property does not contain or appears to have contained any structures in the past. There are no known sites of archaeological significance on the Property that are in the Colorado Historical Society's Register. 3. Need The most critical need for the property is to protect the current undeveloped, open space conservation values of the City of Pueblo's adjacent open space property. If the property is sold and developed it would establish a developed enclave within the 4,000 -acre Honor Farm area. The acquisition of the property would also keep additional roadways from being constructed across City of Pueblo property that would further impact the open space area. a) Current population: The population of the City of Pueblo is 106,000 and the adjacent unincorporated county development, Pueblo West, has a population of 25,000. The 2000 census population in the City of Pueblo was 102,121. During the past five years Pueblo has a growth rate of 3.8% and Pueblo West has a growth rate of 47.9 %. b) Existing Parks & Recreation in the Surrounding Area: The City of Pueblo is the owner of 2,353 acres of property that is managed as open space, park, and recreation areas. The area immediately adjacent to this property is managed as part of a 1,350 -acre open space area. There is approximately 1,000 acres of the existing City property that is utilized for more active recreation uses northeast of the subject property. The park acres in the western section of the City greatly exceed both the NRPA recommended minimums as well as the Pueblo averages. c) Park & Recreation Deficiencies: The basic facilities provided in the western section of the City exceed the Pueblo average service standards and the NRPA standards in all areas except public recreation centers, tennis courts and baseball fields. d) Public Use: Anticipated use would be 25 users per day. The property is currently zoned S -1 (Governmental Use) within Pueblo County. The property will be used by the public for walking, hiking, horseback riding and bicycling that could have pull -off areas for resting and picnicking. Based on the U.S. Forest Service's Recreation Opportunity Federal Lands to Park Program Application Part B Page 2 of 4 Spectrum (ROS) classifications, the property would be managed as a "Roaded Natural Area." This class represents a moderate level of development and moderate to high social interaction within a modified physical setting that is not dominated by evidence of humans. New facilities are minimal, subtle and in harmony with the natural environment. The environment may be modified but would appear natural. The visitor would likely experience a moderate -high feeling of safety with relatively low opportunities for challenge. An example of an area that might fall within this ROS class might be a bicycle or equestrian trail system. 4. Suitability The future land use for the Properties will be as parks and open space with public access. The proposed uses are consistent with those allowed in the S -1 zone district. The dominant natural feature of the property is the short grass prairie that moderately slopes from the northwest corner of the property to the southeast corner. The generally flat openness of the property provides a separation from the development on the western edge of the City of Pueblo and the development along the eastern edge of Pueblo West. The proposed use of the property as open space with some recreational trail development is an extension of the adjacent City -owned open space property. The development of more intense recreational uses on the property would require access roads, parking, restrooms and other improvements that would not be compatible with the surrounding area. There are no potable water or sanitary sewer lines that could easily service this area. a) Physical Characteristics Suitability for Parks & Recreation: The property functions as a generally undisturbed buffer between the City of Pueblo and Pueblo West, both developed urbanized communities. The vegetation is comprised of a combination of generally undisturbed short grass prairie habitat. The topography is moderately sloping (just under a 3% elevation change) with a drop of 26 feet over a distance of 880 feet. The property provides excellent panoramic views of Pikes Peak, Greenhorn Peak, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. While the property could be suitable for more intense recreation development, the current undeveloped character of the property and the cost of providing for infrastructure improvements limit the ability to provide recreation facilities other than trails with rest stops and some picnicking. b) Existing Buildings Suitability for Parks & Recreation: Due to the inability to service the property with water and other public utilities, it is not likely that any buildings, facilities, infrastructure, or other improvements would likely be developed in the near future. Any extension of services to this area would need to be completely funded by the property owner. c) Property Location to Population Centers: The property is located 1.4 miles west of the City of Pueblo and 1.3 miles east of Pueblo West. There are no public roadways that provide access to the property. Federal Lands to Park Program Application Part B Page 3 of 4 d) Public Transportation Serving the Property: The closest point to the City of Pueblo's public transportation system is along Pueblo Boulevard, which is 1.4 miles east of the subject property. Public access could be provided to the property from the City's open space property via a hiking, bicycle, and equestrian trail. 5. Capability a) Programming, Development & Operational Experience: The City of Pueblo currently manages 22 miles of trails that extend along the Arkansas River into Lake Pueblo State Park and along Fountain Creek to the northern boundary of the city. The City has operated the trail system since 1979. The responsibilities include contracting the construction of trails, maintenance of the trails, and adopting rules and regulations for trail use. The City cooperates with Lake Pueblo State Park in the management and operation of trail that connect through both jurisdictions. b) The City currently budgets funds on a project -by- project basis for the acquisition of property and recreational improvements. The cost to operate and maintain the property and improvements are included within the budget of the City's Parks and Recreation Department. The City of Pueblo's current bond rating from Standard and Poors is AAA. c) The property will be managed by the City of Pueblo - Parks and Recreation Department. The City Parks Department's north side park division staff that is comprised of a park supervisor and several park workers will complete the operation and maintenance of the property. An organizational chart for the department is included as Attachment G. 6. Analysis of Environmental Impacts A baseline conservation easement inventory has been completed for the adjacent open space property owned by the City of Pueblo that provides evidence of conservation values, geology, vegetation, wildlife, scenic and cultural resources, public recreation resources and land use impacts. A copy of the baseline document for the conservation easement that has been conveyed to the State of Colorado for the 2,350 -acre area acquired by the City is included as Attachment H.
