Nederland Area Trails, Open Space, Parks, and Outdoor Recreation Master Plan


Steering Committee





Summary of Meeting: April 16, 8 - 10 AM, Nederland Community Center





Present: Bill Martin, Nederland Planning Commission;  Jill Dreves, Wild Bear


Center for Nature Discovery;  Sheila Ranegar, Trail Mix;  Jim Cowart, PUMA;


Larry Tasaday, Eldora Civic Association; James Churches; Garry Sanfacon, PPHCP;


Gene Dilworth, PPHCP.





The committee focused its discussion on the Open Space Goals and Policies


section of the Draft Plan.





The most substantial change recommended is that the policy that the town form


and support an open space advisory body (currently under Goal #3) should be more


prominently placed, more strongly worded, and that it apply to implementation of


all aspects of the Plan.  The overall goal was reworded to emphasize building


the town's capacity.





Other minor changes will be reflected in next version of the draft Plan.





The committee agreed that there should be an additional implementation summary


which prioritizes major action items.  The preferred format was not yet decided.





The public release of the draft Plan and the public meeting were postponed to


allow the committee more time to adequately review and revise the draft.  The


proposed revised time-line is as follows:





April 25:	Steering Committee meeting, 8 AM, NCC Rm. 120


April 20:	Steering Committee meeting, 8 AM, NCC Rm. 120


May 1:		All revisions on electronic copy to Andy


May 9:		Draft Master Plan ready for public release


May 15 or 17:	TBA, Public presentation and meeting, evening **





(**Note:  At the SC meeting we set the public meeting date for May 23.  Andy is


out of town that week, so we are considering the earlier dates.  A firm date


will be set ASAP.)
