Majestic Landscapes - Unique Places - Strong ConnectionsA PRAIRIE NECKLACE !

The unique, majestic western edge of the Great Plainsand the North American cordillera in el Paso County, CO.

EL PASO COUNTYIN PROGRESS September 2019 December 2018 to December 2021

ADOPTED

Can the Planning Commissions, Planning Departments,

Development Communityand Decisionmakers of Colorado Springs & El Paso County

work together now- in 2019/2020 -

to create A Prairie Necklace comnecting what remains

of ungraded native regional Prairie Grassland in the urban-rural interface

of Colorado Springs and El Paso County?

Can a Prairie Necklace be like this foreground?

Can the sea of urban rooftops, like these along Black Forest andWoodment Road, transition genatly into permanent open space in

most areas around the edge of Black Forest?

The majestic view of Pikes Peak from the unique edgeof the Black Forest and adjacent Prairie.

Old Ranch Road (east) is along the lower edge of this view.

There is a choice

A Proposal to ImplementThe Vision

A Prairie Necklace south of Black Forestaccomplishes

• Creates an integrated and linked system convenient to neighbhoods

• Connects watersheds across ridges• Urban to Rural Residential Transition

for much of NE Colorado Springs• Perimeter Trail for “Ring the Springs” system• A cooperative City/County/Private linear park• Wide buffer (300’ where possible) for:

- Softens the urban-rural residential edge- Enables Prairie wildlife corridor- Offers a primitive trail amenity in a

native prairie context(no overlot grading)- Visual amenity- Road noise mitigation- Room for snow drift management- Opportunity for strong trail connections

with multiple connection options- Conservation of local plant genomes

Cooperation, coordination, a win-win...

Feb. 2019Wolf Ranch Public Mtg #1

Making it whole.• Shoup/SH83- a pedestrian bridge built under SH83 on Black Squirrel Creek by CDOT decades agowhich is part of both the City and County ParksPlans. Connects with the La Foret Trail (County),City Trail and potentail trail up SH 83 to HodgenRoad to other County trails.

• City Parks is working on options for OpenSpace/trails north of Old Ranch Road.

• There are “pinch points” in the City where theopportunity is minimal, but at least trail connec-tions can still happen. (South Howells Road/ PikeCreek HS Area, Cordera/Milam/Union/BradleyRanch areas).

• Opportunity to use Old Ranch Road ROW fromCity Utility Tank area to Milam

• Wolf Ranch from the west border of the CityUtilities Water Tank site east to Black Forest Roadis a critical piece.

• East of Black Forest Road is currently all inCounty jurisdiction.

A trail connection for human use can beplanned between Black Forest and Vollmer Roadsover to Sterling Ranch to connect with the SandCreek Area Trail System along Briargate - StapletonParkway. Cooperative accommodation among ruralresideintial lot owners to enable antelope move-ment should be sought especially north ofBriagate-Stapleton Alignment in Eaglewing,Highland Park, the Johnson Conservation Easement(Palmer Land Trust and private owner), EagleRising/Jaynes property/Poco road residents toenable antelope movement, minimize obstructivefencing and conerve native prairie land cover.

• East of Vollmer there is currently an approvedSketch Plan (Sterling Ranch), a PUD (The Retreat)and a proposed Sketch Plan (The Ranch - Sept 24BoCC) - all with Metro DIstricts, all with trails.Perimeter trails should be planned in a wide,ungraded buffer (minimum 100-200-feet), prefer-eqable against large lits (1 ac). Connections amongthese subdivisions is possible and should coordi-

nate with Regional Trails. These areas might alsobe annexed to Colordo Springs soon - in which casethe City would have jursidiction and open spaceadjustments could be made.

• Paint Brush Hills area has a major 300+ foot ExcelPower line easement which can remain open andwhich connects across other private lands to theeast side of Pineries Open Space. POS connects atits north end to a trail in Woodlake and eventuallyto Regional trails along Hodgen Road.

• The east side 0f the Prairie Necklace can beincluded in 4-way Ranch Planning and could reachto the Elbert Highway , Homestead Regional Parkand Peyton area.

to Fox Run Reg Park

to POS

- Trail connectivity within the City of Colorado Springs, within the County, among theCity, County, other Municipalities, and the National Forest has been a planning goal inthe Region for a very long time.

The new PlanCOS Majestics Landscapes Framework with a “Ring the Springs”Trails network offers a great platform for implementation now.

The Prairie Necklace is a long-term project, but time is short in 2019-2020 to savekey pieces in developing areas. City Parks is working on a plan for the area betweenShoup and Old Ranch Roads. Wolf Ranch can still make adjustements to their recentlyameded Master Plan along old Ranch and Black Forest Roads. Planning the connec-tion of Briagate Parkway and Stapleton Road can include at least a trail (this area is“buffered” so some extent by existing rural residential lots which have native prairie.East of Black Forest Road are excellent opportunities to connect Sterling Ranch, TheRetreat, The Ranch and use existing utility easements.

Parks, Open Space and Biodiversity Planning

PCA ( Black Forest Potential Conservation Area) - Significant Biological Diversity from:Colorado Natural Heritage Program - Survey of Critical Biological Resources (El Paso County,Dec. 2001. p. 159. Prepared for EPC Parks and Leisure Services, Doyle et al.. 2001 another PCAincludes what is now the Pineries Open Space in Black Forest and overlaps part of this PCA..

“ In 1999, the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) proposed a biological survey to the ElPaso County Board of Commissioners. The goal of the project was to systematically identify thelocations of rare species and significant natural plant communities are in El Paso County, and toidentify and prioritize areas of critical habitat (potential conservations areas - PCAs) for thesespecies and communities.In addition, CNHP offered to assist in conservation efforts and to present the results of the study tothe county commissioners, county planning departments, and interested local groups.A majority of the funding for this biological survey was provided through a Great Outdoors Colorado(GOCO) planning grant to El Paso County Parks and Leisure Services Department. The Countythen contracted with Colorado Natural Heritage Program to perform the biological survey. A relatedstudy of wetland and riparian resources funded by the Colorado Department of Natural Resourceswas conducted simultaneously by CNHP” (Doyle et al. 2001). Note: this survey was one of many County surveys in Colorado conducted by CNHP duirng the late1990s early 2000s to identify lands with biological significance. The prairie areas south of Blackforest and east of Black Forest Road are included as areas of high significance.

Colo. Natural Heritage Prgrm2001

• The tan polygon in the NE corner of this map, which includes Sec. 16 and the PineriesOpen Space in the Black Forest is based on the CNHP Map prepared in 2001. It overlapsmuch of the proposed buffer/Trail along Black Forest Road in the 2019 Wolf Ranch proposedAmendment Area, and all of the area along Old Ranch Road.

• Note that dark turquoise Candidate Open Space Areas in the City of Colorado Springs ParksMaster Plan follow the western tributaries of Cottonwood Creek and also include property west ofWolf Ranch. A Future Master planned Park (purple) and open space (lavender), based on theWolf Ranch Master Plan in effect in 2014, are also in this Parks Plan.

• Offsite, but along the City/County Boundary to the north are Kettle Creek Canyon candidateopen Space (turquoise and lavender) and Northgate Buffer along Howells and Shoup Roads).The Northgate buffer connects to the La Foret Trail (County) and existing pedestrian Bridge builtyears ago under SH 83 when the Shoup/SH 83 intersectionwhich was was improved in the early2000s.• The Prairie Necklace connections originating on Wolf Ranch west of Black Forest Roadwould connect areas (1) - Black Squirrel Creek Greenway and (2) - Cottonwood CreekGreenway on this map. • The Prairie Necklace Connections east of Black Forest Road (in theCounty) would connect areas (1) and (2) to the Sand Creek Greenway (5).

Greenway Candidate Areas This is Map 28, page 157 of the 2014 Colorado Springs Parks

Map 24 Trail Priority Recommendations

This is Map 249 of the 2014 Colorado Springs Parks Master Plan.The Trail Priorities are highlhed in red. The Green line representing the Prairie Necklace connection was added to show the relation-sip of planned City Park Trails to the Prarie Necklace Open Space and Trail system in the Citypartion which is mainly to the west of Black Forest Road.

PlanCOS spells out a vision for Colorado Springsbased on themes:

• Majestic Landscapes.• Unique Places, and• Strong Connections (which can include

ecosystems and trails as well as roads and utilties)These thematic attributes exist on both sides ofthe City Boundary and this proposal is an effort tomaximize these great ideas for the Public Good.

This proposal, calls for implementation of theCity’s vision and partnering with similar vision andgoals of the County. Prairie Necklace broadens it incurrent time to what is still possible to do in boththe City and the County with the remaining openand ungraded prairie at the spectacular southernedge of the Black Forest and Great Plains.

It can mitigate many of the contentious issuesbetween current urban subdivisons and long-timerural residential residents. It opens the door forpositive cooperation.

This proposal gives developers a chance to giveforward, and to also give back from previousdecades of huge successes and create prime andmore balanced land uses for the public good.

It opens the door for both immediate and longerterm cooperative planning, coordination and creat-ing a win-win for residents and the developmentcommunity.

The prairies in El Paso County are very diverse,underlain by different geologic substrates of thelast 80 milion years. Native prairielandis special.

There is very little undeveloped/ungraded prairieland left in much of this potential Prairie Necklace -please give this immediate thoughtful and com-plete consideration.

Thank you,
