Conservation, recreation, education: The pillars of Backcountry Wilderness Area
Looking back at how prized asset has developed
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After the Highlands Ranch Community Association took ownership of 8,200 acres of property in 2009 and renamed it as the Backcountry Wilderness Area, the growing sta has worked to maintain a safe habitat for wildlife and to o er educational programs to get youth outside.
e property is managed with three pillars: conservation, recreation and education, according to Lindsey McKissick, Backcountry Wilderness Area communications manager.
“ at’s our model of encouraging people,” said McKissick. “Come recreate, come do programs, go on our trails, learn to love it.”
With 13 square miles of land, McKissick said the best way to put the size of the property in perspective is that both Cherry Creek and Chateld state parks, including their reservoirs, could t inside it together.
A group of kids and their camp leaders hide in the backcountry during a game of “pred-prey” as part of one of their summer camp activities. Within 15 years, the growing sta at Backcountry Wilderness has helped create an area of conservation, recreation and education.

Castle Rock considers regulations for psychedelic mushroom businesses
BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Castle Rock Town Council is working to pass a law to regulate the operations of psychedelic mushrooms and other natural medicine businesses in town.
In 2022, Colorado voters approved the decriminalization of the use of psilocybin and other plants for people 21 and older. Since then, the legislature passed laws that outline legal natural medicine businesses.
Unlike the legalization of marijuana, municipalities can’t prohibit natural medicine businesses, but they can regulate where the busi-
nesses are located and some operational elements, like setting business hours.
e law allows for natural healing centers, where people use natural medicines under facilitation, and natural medicine businesses for cultivation, manufacturing and testing. Selling psilocybin or other natural medicines is still illegal.
Castle Rock Town Attorney Mike Hyman said the natural medicine market will look di erent from the retail and medical marijuana markets.

Motive unclear in alleged Castle Pines arson
Suspect is juvenile who allegedly set fire intentionally, sheri ’s o ce says
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A brush re near a residential area in west Castle Pines burned after a juvenile allegedly started the blaze intentionally, according to the Douglas County Sheri ’s O ce.
Because of “a quick call to 911 from a resident and the immediate response from re crews, no structures were damaged,” said Deborah Takahara, spokesperson for the sheri ’s o ce.
As of early July, no formal charges had been led, and the case was still going through initial steps before reaching prosecutors for review, said Eric Ross, spokesperson for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s O ce. e 18th Judicial District covers Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.
e re was reported at about 11:30 a.m. June 18 near Bristolwood Lane and Monarch Boulevard, not far from Castle Pines Parkway, according to the sheri ’s o ce.
Investigators determined that the re was intentionally set, Takahara said. No one was injured, she said.
Takahara was not sure how large the re was. She said she did not have the information on apparent
motivation for starting the re.
An arrest a davit — a document that could o er details about a crime — wasn’t available, Ross said on July 10.
“Juvenile court (documents) are not public record in most cases. An exception would be a juvenile charged as an adult, for example,” Ross said. “However, there is no such court document or court record (or) le because there haven’t been any formal charges led as of today.”
e Castle Pines News-Press sent a request for an incident report to the sheri ’s o ce regarding the re and was waiting to hear back.
e sheri ’s o ce recommends charges to the DA’s o ce, but the DA’s o ce decides whether to le them.
e charge the sheri ’s o ce recommended is under state statute 1813-109, Takahara said.
“It’s called ‘ ring woods or prairie.’ So it was like in a grassy area,” Takahara said. “ at’s the speci c charge that they were using because it only burned the natural vegetation there.” e incident “serves as an important reminder that re season is upon us,” the sheri ’s o ce said in a news release.
“We urge all residents to exercise caution and to educate their children about the dangers of re,” the o ce said in the release. “Proper awareness and preventative measures can help keep our community safe.”
The Castle Rock Town Council is considering an ordinance to regulate natural medicine businesses. Colorado voters decriminalized the use of psychedelic mushrooms and other plants for people 21 and older.

Renovation Trends Reflect Post-Pandemic Drive for Comfort, Warmth and Healthy Living
A May 30th article on Houzz.com caught my attention with the headline “7 Home Design Trends Emerging Now.” I’ll post a link to that article at RealEstateToday.substack.com
The trends which the article identified showed a rising interest in “organic” modern style and “dark and moody” interiors. They didn’t mention the pandemic, but it was on my mind as I pondered this dramatic shift in the public’s attitude toward home life. The after-effects of the pandemic and especially the lock-down period are still being felt in various ways, especially in the home design and real estate choices we each make. I’ve written in the past about how the workfrom-home mandates wreaked havoc on the commercial real estate market, especially post-pandemic, as many workers insisted on (with some employer agreement) continuing to work from home instead of returning to the office.
The biggest surge was observed in the use of search terms such as “organic modern,” whether it was for bedrooms, dining rooms or other rooms. I never thought of using the term “organic” for home design, but it seems to be close to what I’ve always called earth tones. This also tied in with the next most common search term, “dark” and “moody.”
bathroom I saw had a shower that was not separated from a standalone tub sitting on a tiled floor with a floor drain. The homeowner could have been Japanese or perhaps an American who lived there and adopted Japanese ways.
To quote from the article by Parker, “These spaces mix deep, dramatic colors and materials to create an intimate, sophisticated atmosphere with a touch of drama.” Pictures of rooms demonstrating results of those search terms are in the online article which you will want to check out.
It’s been a couple decades since the move away from white walls in new homes. Rounded wall corners are now commonplace, adding softness to walls which are now often a shade of gray.
(I enjoyed a visit to Tokyo decades ago, where I stayed in a student house with no bathing facilities. I, like others in the house, went to a neighborhood bathhouse where I squatted alongside others on a stool in front of a low faucet and washed and rinsed my body before joining others in a huge hot tub.)
Another trend cited by Parker is wellness, which is expressed in bathrooms as well as in saunas, steam showers, cold plunges, and yoga rooms. “Home spa” was a search term which jumped 34% from last year to this year.
We’ve long seen pool tables and ping pong tables in homes, but now the big thing is “game rooms.” (This reminds me that in some 1950s one-story homes with basements, I have seen more than one which had a shuffle board court laid out using colored vinyl tiles, usually covered by wall-to-wall carpeting, greatly amusing the homeowner when it came time to replace the carpeting!)
The seventh and last trend identified in the Houzz article was an interest in “kid zones.” Yes, people are still having children, and having a place for them to engage in non-smartphone games is important to many parents, as it would be for Rita and me if we were of that age. (I suppose grandparents would want a kids zone, too, but even our grandchildren are in college now!)
A second real estate impact from the lock-down period was the decision by many homeowners to relocate to homes that were further from their place of employment and/or move to a home more suited to working from home, such as with a separate home office space.
As for home design trends, how does one gauge such trends? For Mitchell Parker, the writer for Houzz, it was done by analyzing the year-over-year changes in search terms used on their website.
Are you following the 2024 presidential race? You may be interested in my political blog, which you can find at http://TalkingTurkey.substack.com
Another trend noted by Parker is reading rooms and walls of bookshelves, which may seem odd in an era noted for its switch to digital and audio books. (I myself am now hooked on audio books, following a previous addiction to ebooks, which are free from the Jeffco and other library systems.)
Japanese influences are coming into vogue, from the living room to bedroom to the garden, with green, including indoor plants like lemon grass dominating room décor. I recently toured a home which had a Japanese style bathroom. Japanese are fond of washing themselves outside the bathtub, and only going into the tub afterwards to soak. The
Development Opportunity in Westminster
The property at 9251 N. Wadsworth Boulevard offers a fantastic redevelopment opportunity in Jefferson County and City of Westminster! Formerly known as the Cheshire Cat Hospital, this 3-acre property operated as a veterinary clinic for the past 20 years and is currently zoned agricultural but is an area of focus for rezoning with both Jefferson County and the City of Westminster. The parcel is close to the Denver-Boulder Turnpike, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, Rock Creek Medical Campus, retail, municipal government, higher education and open space. If the purchaser wishes to maintain the agricultural zoning, the property could be used for an equine boarding facility with four horses per acre. In addition to domestic animals, the agricultural zoning offers several permitted uses including telecommunications towers, farming with residence, and stables -- a full list. It is co-listed at $2,490,000 by broker associates Chuck Brown and Austin Pottorff, whose cell numbers are at right. An aerial video tour of this listing created by Austin can be seen at www.GRElistings.com.
Leisure spaces generally are also important to home buyers and home renovators. One search term which jumped by 107% year-over-year was “listening room.” Another was for a piano room or piano living room.
Searches for “race car bed,” “teen lounge” and “tween bedroom” were all up year-over-year.
I found the article, which was filled with photo examples from vendors, very interesting and fun. You will too!
Big Reduction on Home Near Majestic Park
$798,000
The sellers designed this 5-bedroom, 4,603sq.-ft. home at 6714 Field St. in Arvada for entertaining and were the general contractor for it in 1985. Listed last month at $845,000, the price was just lowered to $798,000, which computes to only $173 per square foot! Spaces for entertaining abound both indoors and on the large wraparound deck. There's an indoor hot tub in its own room that is well ventilated to avoid moisture-related issues. Floors are a mix of carpet, oak hardwood and ceramic tile. A guest bedroom on the main floor was used by the seller as a home office and a reading room and sewing room are upstairs. This home is an early example of passive solar design. In addition to the solar thermal panels on the roof which provide hot water for the home, there are solar thermal panels built into the south wall of the great room to capture solar gain in the winter for warming the house after dark. The backyard includes a large garden area and a shed with electricity with two compartments — a storage area with a concrete floor and a south-facing area with gravel floor and windows to capture solar gain for starting plants early. There is no HOA and there’s a gate on the north side of the house for parking an RV next to the garage. Majestic View Park and its Nature Center are a short walk or bike ride to the north.

Breaking the stereotype at Convict Co ee Company
Owner encourages others to get out and do good
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Every day he had to wear a suit, speak a certain way and not tell people about who he was for nearly 30 years. But now he feels true freedom. Dan Klehm describes himself as rough around the edges and an old-school metalhead who is a coffee and soda connoisseur.
“What has really kept me from really realizing my potential was, I was acting without purpose,” said Klehm.
Before moving to Colorado, Klehm worked in the corporate restaurant business as the vice president of Applebees and Rock Bottom Brewery as well as COO of Illegal Pete’s and Cheba Hut, but his work eventually brought him to Parker.
While traveling across the country, Klehm said he was successful and was making money, but became dissatis ed with the industry, which is why he decided to start his own company – a passion project called Convict Co ee Company.
“(Co ee Convict) is really born out of just disappointment in the industry,” said Klehm. “Just recognizing lack of pay equity, lack of opportunity for employees, companies that don’t really value their teams and take care of them.”
Klehm purchased his location on Parker Road on March 1 and opened for business April 16. With the help of his son, they gutted, designed and built the entire venue themselves to create an inclusive and innovative experience, coining the phrase “co ee for the rest of us.”
Convict Co ee is designed for those looking for an authentic, gritty and down-to-earth place. Despite the challenges, such as people not liking the name of the company, Klehm had meaningful conversations with the police, re rescue, the mayor, mothers who have children in prison and spouses.
“ e name is designed to start a conversation,” said Klehm.
While the U.S. makes up about 5% of the global population, the country has 20-25% of the world’s
prison population, according to the NAACP and the United Nations Ofce on Drugs and Crime.
Having been in prison himself and worried about the business of privately owned prisons, Klehm believes incarceration is not an effective way to change someone unless rehabilitation is included.
A program should be designed to ensure people are getting what they need to come out of the system and be e ective members of society while learning things to keep them from repeating past behaviors, said Klehm.
“I’ve been very fortunate to have a lot of those things come my way, but not everyone is, so that’s what this is about,” Klehm said.
Ending a pattern of crime
Growing up in California in what he described as a “turbulent environment” with drugs, alcohol and abuse, Klehm left his home at the age of 13 and fell into a life of crime.
“I kind of snapped and I said no
one is putting hands on me again,” Klehm said. “I was running around the Bay Area with a gun at 13.”
When his friend was put in the hospital after they were beaten up, Klehm and a few of his friends were on their way to do a drive-by shooting when they were pulled over two blocks from the scene. Klehm was arrested at 15 years old.
He spent one year at a youth program Rite of Passage in Nevada, where he said the experience didn’t help his behavior.
“It made it worse,” said Klehm. “ at fuels a lot of my mission today, is that a lot of things in the system that people think are intended to help actually make the process worse for people.”
Klehm spent most of the next decade in and out of jail for taking part in robberies, grand theft auto, dealing drugs and possession of a deadly weapon, and ultimately landed in the California state prison at Vacaville.
He felt he was in a place where he
could have easily continued down that road, but it was when his rst son, Damien, was born while he was serving time that his life changed.
“Seeing my son through glass for the rst time and not being able to hold him for a year, I felt like I was repeating my dad,” said Klehm. “So much violence in the home and crime is generational, so from that point forward, my mindset was, ‘I’m not going to be that.’”
Just six years later, he was the vice president of Applebees. Years later, on Christmas morning in 2022, Klehm woke up and knew exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to create a place where youth can feel safe and where good could be done.
“Our motto is, ‘Get Out, Do Good,’” said Klehm. “Wherever you are in life, get out of your mindset and go out and do something positive. ere’s so much good that can be done if you just commit to that.”
Daniel Klehm is the founder and owner of Convict Co ee Company on Parker Road. After years of being in the correctional system, he believes incarceration is not an e ective way to change someone unless rehabilitation is included. Convict Co ee is his passion project to help provide youth a safe place for the community to hang out.

Annual criterium races toward Littleton
City gears up for bicycle race event
BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Downtown Littleton is at.
For most shopping areas, this wouldn’t be much of a selling point. But in Littleton, its topography creates the perfect conditions for a massive annual event, one that most Colorado cities can’t claim.
From around the country — and sometimes around the world — cyclists travel to Littleton each summer for the Littleton Twilight Criterium. e day-long bicycle racing event starts with beginner competitions and culminates in professional races, where cyclists have been known to ride over 40 mph in their nishing sprints.
“People are just giving it everything they got,” said Chip Brunk, the race director. is year, the criterium will take place from 2:15 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Aug. 3. e course — which includes portions of West Main Street, South Sycamore Street, West Berry Avenue, West Powers Avenue and South Curtice Street — will host 10 races over the course of the day and one “cruiser ride” open to the public.
“We want to provide a free, fun day for Littleton residents to have a great family experience,” said city spokesperson Kelli Narde. “We also want to provide some economic bene t for our businesses.”
In addition to the race, the event includes beer stations, food trucks, live music and a “kid’s zone” complete with face painting and an inatable bounce house, Narde said. e last two races of the day are
professional races and are part of an eight-race national series called the American Criterium Cup (ACC). e series is partnered with USA Cycling “to serve as the premier professional road race calendar in the United States,” according to its website.
For the rst time, the series includes a junior event this year. e ACC Junior Criterium Cup will include competitions for athletes ages 15 to 16 and 17 to 18 years old, according to its website.
At Littleton’s event, where Audi Denver is a main sponsor, junior athletes will compete in the rst
race of the day at 2:15 p.m. Athletes as young as 10 years old are allowed to race in this event, but those younger than 15 will not be included in the national series.
Over 500 cyclists usually compete at the criterium, Brunk said, with top racers winning prizes. For the professional races, about $15,000 will be awarded in cash prizes.
For the winners of the entire American Criterium Cup, which ends in September, $100,000 is on the line.
For Brunk, who has raced in the event as an amateur, the day is full of excitement.
“It’s at, it’s really fast, and great crowds, a great energy,” he said. “ ere’s an energy that you get when you line up for that race at the beginning that’s just palpable — and so much more than any other race.”
Even from people who aren’t familiar with cycling, Brunk said he always hears that the event is “exciting.”
e cyclists clump up, just feet away from each other, speeding past viewers and drafting o of each others’ wind, he said.
Cyclists speed down the street during the Littleton Twilight Criterium in 2023.

Greg Lopez sworn into Congress to finish Ken Buck’s term
BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Former Parker mayor Greg Lopez has been sworn into o ce to represent Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, completing the remainder of U.S. Rep. Ken Buck’s term.
Lopez was elected to the seat in the June 25 special election following Buck’s early retirement from Congress. Lopez, a Republican, received 58% of the vote, easily defeating the Democratic candidate Trisha Calvarese.
Lopez took the oath of o ce on July 8 and will serve through January, when a new representative will be sworn in.
Following his oath of o ce, Lopez said he is honored to serve Colorado and aims to put people over politics during his time in Congress.
Former Parker mayor Greg Lopez is sworn in to his new role as the representative of Colorado’s 4th Congressional District by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. Lopez will serve the remainder of former U.S. Rep. Ken Buck’s term since Buck retired earlier this year.
“I am lled with a sense of gratitude, gratitude for being given the opportunity by my Lord and Savior, and the good people of Colorado’s 4th Congressional District to represent our district and state in the U.S. Congress,” Lopez said. “During my time here, I vow to stay true to the virtues of respect, collaboration, friendship, unity, and most importantly, statesmanship.”
Lopez helps Republicans hold a majority in the House, with 220 seats. Democrats hold 213 seats and two seats are un lled.
Lopez is an Air Force veteran and worked for the Small Business Administration. He campaigned as a temporary representative who would promote conservative solutions to issues like the economy and immigration.

REGULATIONS
buy your bag of mushrooms and go home,” Hyman said.
Castle Rock’s council is looking at an ordinance to limit natural medicine businesses and healing centers to light and general industrial-zoned areas and require they be at least 1,000 feet from schools, childcare facilities or
residences. e proposed ordinance would severely limit where natural medicine businesses could open. e ordinance would also restrict business hours to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
Councilmembers expressed disagreement with allowing natural medicine businesses in town, saying they wish Castle Rock had the local control to prohibit them.
“As a home rule, folks, I wouldn’t
want it at all,” councilmember Tim Dietz said. Council will vote on the proposed ordinance at its July 16 meeting.
In February, Parker passed similar restrictions, limiting natural medicine cultivation and manufacturing businesses to industrial zoning and placing a 1,000-foot boundary around schools, childcare facilities and residences.
Parker allows natural healing centers in business and commercial areas.

Fourth of July weekend fireworks cause blazes across south metro area
South Metro Fire Rescue gives safety tips on fireworks usage
BY NINA JOSS AND ELLIS ARNOLD NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Early in the morning on July 7, three acres of the Willow Spring Open Space area in Centennial were ablaze with re.
e re, which South Metro Fire Rescue re ghters stopped from spreading within 20 minutes, was one of many incidents over the holiday weekend that were likely caused by reworks, South Metro Fire Rescue spokesperson Eric Hurst said. He said it’s “very common” to see res on July 4 and the days surrounding it.
“Every year, we up-sta additional re engines in those evenings — usually the third, fourth and fth — so that we have extra personnel because we know that there’s going to be more res,” he said.
is year, on July 4 alone, between the hours of 6 p.m. and midnight, crews responded to 45 res in South Metro’s district, which includes Littleton, Centennial, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Parker, Fox eld, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village and more. at’s compared to about 1 or 2 res
that would happen on an average night in the summer, Hurst said.
“All res on July 4 were humancaused, and we’re con dent that three-fourths were caused by reworks. e cause was undetermined in the remaining res,” he said, speaking about South Metro’s district.
In the Willow Spring Open Space re, a 911 caller said there were reworks in the area before the re started, Hurst said. In response to the call, 35 personnel arrived at the scene.
No injuries or residential property damage occurred from the re.
Fire investigators on the scene found a “mortar style” rework in the intersection at South Homestead Parkway and South Niagra Circle, which they said was likely the rework responsible for the re, Hurst said. In a trash can on the trail, they also found other illegal reworks, he said.
“Mortar style” reworks y up into the air where they explode, Hurst said. Fireworks that leave the ground are illegal in Colorado unless permitted by a governing body for a professional display.
Extra reworks rules vary between municipalities, with some cities prohibiting all personal use of any kind of reworks, even sparklers.
Investigators did not identify a suspect on scene at the Willow Spring Open Space re and there were no witnesses to provide suspect infor-
mation, so no citations were issued, Hurst said.
Hurst said it is important for people to know whether reworks are permitted before using them, which includes checking for re bans.
“If it’s a city that allows reworks, but a re ban is in place because it’s dry, then reworks aren’t allowed anymore,” he said.
Of the res on July 4 in South Metro’s area, Hurst said he doesn’t have the statistical breakdown of res that occurred in various city, county or town boundaries with di erent reworks rules to determine which res were caused by legal or illegal reworks.
Asked whether any res were started by reworks shows put on by municipalities, counties or other governments on July 4, Hurst said: “I’m not aware of any res started by professional reworks shows in SMFR’s district.”
Safety tips for using fireworks
If people are going to use reworks, Hurst said, they need to use them in non-combustible areas like on cement, asphalt, gravel or rocks. Fireworks should not be used in or near grass, bushes or anything else that can burn.
He said it is also important to have a method on hand to put out ames in the case of a re, such as a garden hose, a re extinguisher or a bucket of
water.
Before throwing reworks away, Hurst said people should soak them in a bucket of water overnight. is can prevent res, like one that happened on July 4 in Castle Pines. After using reworks, people threw them away in a plastic trash bin.
“When they went inside for the night, the trash bin ignited, burned to the ground, and then it lit their car on re,” Hurst said. “We’re lucky it was just a car, but in previous years, we’ve had that happen where it’s burned people’s homes because the trash bin is against the house or in the garage.”
Impacts
around region
ere were no deaths from res in the agency’s region over the holiday week, but two people were transported to the hospital with injuries from reworks accidents, Hurst said.
In Parker, a child struck by a rework su ered minor injuries and in unincorporated Douglas County, a person had a rework explode in their hand and was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, he said.
In Cherry Hills Village, the damage spilled into July 5. e agency responded to a grass re at 4400 E. Quincy Ave. around 6 a.m.
“Witnesses heard a loud boom before seeing smoke and a rework was found on the trail splitting the burn area,” the agency said on social media platform X.
RACES
Every year, famous cyclists compete in the race, including former national and world champions who now compete for fun.
“Seeing all this talent line up and give it 100% for our race, that’s my favorite part,” Brunk said.
Last year, Narde said, about 14,000 people attended the event. She and Brunk said they hope people come this year to enjoy the excitement of the races, cycling on the course and the overall energy
of the day.
“We have the beer gardens and the band going and just, there’s an energy there that you’re not going to experience (at) too many events,” Brunk said. “It’s just really a very exciting, fun event for everybody, family and kids, and it just builds throughout the day.”

According to e Colorado Sun, Lopez has a history of run-ins with the justice system. Lopez and his wife were both cited in a domestic violence incident in 1993, and later pleaded guilty to harassment.
Lopez also settled a federal lawsuit in 2020 that alleged he attempted to improperly in uence the actions of the Small Business Administration.
Voters will decide in November whether Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert or Democratic challenger Trisha Calvarese will be the 4th district’s next congresswoman.

WILDERNESS
But the Backcountry Wilderness Area of today was years in the making.
When Shea Homes gave the management of Wildcat Mountain to the Highlands Ranch Community Association to build the rst singletrack trail system in the community in 2006, a deliberate decision was made to protect golden eagles and elk in that area.
e total mileage of trails in the Highlands Ranch Community Association reached just over 11 miles in 2009 when a second set of trails was added. Additionally, to the south of the Highlands Point trails is a ridgeline that provides a natural bu er to help protect wildlife from the growing recreational use of the trails. Today, the Backcountry Wil-
derness Area has nearly 26 miles of trails.
roughout the development of the trail systems in the community, there was a great amount of community involvement. About 90% of the benches seen on the trails have been installed by Eagle Scouts.
Milestones throughout the years
Dating back to 1936, golden eagle nests have sat atop the cli s of Wildcat Mountain, looking over present-day Highlands Ranch. As these birds are easily disturbed by disruptions, trails near the nest are closed during courtship and nesting season.
Since the site’s rebranding as the Backcountry Wilderness Area, golden eagles have nested numerous times, rst in 2011, producing 10 young birds since then. en in 2012, two Percheron draft horses named Ben and Buster were acquired to lead hayrides and
sleigh rides in the community. Another Percheron draft horse, Bella, replaced Ben when he died. at year also marked the rst iteration of summer camp. Over a decade later, about 1,500 kids participate in Camp Backcountry each week in the summer, said McKissick.
“ e kids’ camps are educational experiences that teach them to know that the wildlife has a place to thrive,” said McKissick.
Although big game hunting opportunities were provided for a few years, it wasn’t until 2014 that the Backcountry Wilderness Area began o ering sta -guided hunts, which were made mandatory two years later.
For some time, the hunts allowed the association to manage what elk were harvested by increasing the quality of the harvests and their health, according to a Backcountry Wilderness Area blog.
With a goal of promoting responsible hunting, static archery ranges later opened, along with a one-mile trail that includes life-size foam animals.
“People who are choosing to hunt with bows get the opportunity to practice all year long,” said McKissick.
To give people an opportunity to get more involved in the Backcountry Wilderness Area, its programs and conservation e orts, the Backcountry Conservation and Education Fund was established, hitting a major milestone for the community.
e nonpro t’s mission is to improve wildlife habitats while igniting a love for the outdoors to help inspire the next generation of “nature stewards,” which has been a successful e ort thus far, according to Mark Giebel, Backcountry Wilderness Area director.
“ ere’s more development in northern Douglas County happening every day,” said Giebel. “ is property and properties like it are going to become more important than they are even today.” is story is the second part of a series about the Highlands Ranch Backcountry Wilderness Area, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.
COFFEE
Doing good with Convict Co ee Company
When Klehm’s son graduated from high school, he realized there were not many community centers in Parker, which is why Convict Coffee also is also designed for youth and o ers a variety of sodas and “Convict Creations.” ere is a quiet room for guests to get their work done and a ruckus room lled with video games, board games and music.
e support begins within the company. As the company grows, Klehm wants to be transparent and show the numbers to the employees. He would like to have an equal pay equity structure and give pro t share to all employees so as the business does better, the employees will as well.
But Klehm is using his company as an avenue for others.
“If you just reach out, you can nd so many people who are doing things that can really make a di erence,” Klehm said.
Convict Co ee sells bread made by men at Treasure House of Hope, which is a men’s recovery house with a commercial kitchen to make baked goods. In addition to the company’s Brazilian-Colombian espresso blend and beans from First Craft in Denver, they also purchase from Redemption Roasters Co ee, a vocational program at a Denver women’s prison.
Artwork by those incarcerated through the Prison Art Experience is also displayed in Convict Co ee. If a guest likes the piece, they can scan an associated QR code to purchase a print of the piece and about 70% of the money goes to the artist.
“So it gives them a head start when they come out of prison,” Klehm said.
Another program Convict Co ee is incorporating is “A Quarter for a Quarter,” a new cause related to keeping youth out of trouble or reducing recidivism that will be featured each quarter of the year. As part of the program, a quarter from each drink sold will go toward the cause.
Like a saying painted on Klehm’s counter, “One Struggle Stick Together,” he wants everyone in his building to be respected for who they are.
With a fresh business in hand and both of his sons working with him, Klehm is looking to expand the opportunities for people in the community as well as expand to a franchise.
“ e coolest part of where I’m at today is, I’m not bitter, I’m not angry, I deserved what I got, I did things that got me in prison,” said Klehm. “I’m just at a place in my career where I don’t want to waste another day.”

This summer, take simple steps for better air
It’s another hot, sunny, bluesky day in Denver. The air is still and looks clear! Despite the beautiful day, you may feel irritation in your throat or a tightness in your chest while out walking the dog, at the park, riding your bike, or on an afternoon run. Your asthma may also be acting up.
This is likely the impact of ground-level ozone: the Front Range’s most pressing air quality problem each summer. We can’t see or smell it, but this pollutant accumulates the most on hot and sunny blue-sky days, reaching its highest levels in the afternoons and evenings.
While ozone serves an important purpose high up in the atmosphere — protecting us from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation — at ground level, high concentrations of ozone are unhealthy. Ozone makes it difficult to breathe, increases our susceptibility to respiratory infections, and exacerbates respiratory ailments such as asthma.
High ozone levels affect all of us. Even if you are healthy, ozone can impact the cells in your lungs during and after exposure, like
sunburn, and repeated exposure over time can lead to reduced lung function. The people at higher risk of exposure or more sensitive to this air pollution include the elderly, those with respiratory conditions, outdoor workers, outdoor athletes, and especially children, whose lungs are still developing.
Where does this air pollution come from? Ground-level ozone is not directly emitted from any source. It forms in the air when two chemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), react in the sunshine and heat of summer days. These chemicals are called ozone precursors, and they are released into the air from emissions made by our gaspowered vehicles, gas-powered lawn equipment, and oil and gas production across the Front Range.
Both colorless and odorless, ozone is different than wildfire smoke, tiny particulate matter called PM2.5 or PM10, and the visible Denver “brown cloud” of years past. However, ozone can combine with other air quality issues, and is sometimes referred to as “smog.”
errands, or taking the bus or the light rail to get where you need to go. Don’t forget: youth ride for free on RTD! For shorter distances, leave the car at home and walk, ride a scooter, or your bike or e-bike.
Fuel up your car after 5 p.m. to avoid releasing emissions during the heat of the day. Skip idling your car: instead, roll down the windows and turn off the engine while waiting in parking lots or lines. Consider a low- or zeroemissions vehicle, like an electric vehicle (EV), when it’s time to purchase a new vehicle.
While air quality in the region has greatly improved in the past half century, ozone remains a pressing issue to our health and environment. But as our gas-powered vehicles and gas-powered lawn equipment contribute to its formation, we all have the power to reduce ground-level ozone in the Front Range each summer!
First, sign up for ozone alerts. Visit SimpleStepsBetterAir.org to sign up for emails or text “BetterAirCO” to 21000 to receive air quality alerts on your phone. When the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) forecasts a high ozone day, the Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC) will send you a timely text or email to let you know.
On high ozone days, protect your health by avoiding outdoor exercise or heavy exertion between noon and 8 p.m. Still want to get outside? Plan ahead and spend time outside in the morning, or later in the evening, when ozone levels will be lower.
Second, reduce your emissions! Take some Simple Steps for Better Air: Skip two car trips per week by carpooling, combining
Mow the lawn after 5 p.m. if you still use gas-powered equipment. Even better, upgrade your old gas lawn mower, trimmer, or leaf blower to a new electric one with a 30% state discount at participating retailers this year!
And if your job can be done remotely, work from home at least one day a week and eliminate your commute altogether.
Taking these timely, simple steps in the summer improves our Front Range air quality, our health, and our ability to enjoy the outdoors! Visit SimpleStepsBetterAir.org for more information about how to reduce your ozone impact this summer and help your community breathe easier.
Douglas County migrant bus ordinance could expand
Sheri ’s o ce says it has not issued any citations or warnings under the ordinance passed in April
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Fearing that vehicles carrying migrant people will stop in Douglas County, elected leaders are poised to expand a law to limit the unloading of bus passengers.
ey’re looking to put the policy in e ect in at least some of the county’s cities and towns, not just areas the county government usually controls.
e rst version of the ordinance, approved in April, only applied in unincorporated areas, or those outside of municipalities, including Highlands Ranch and many other parts of Douglas.
Now, if the expanded version takes e ect, the law will also apply
in cities or towns in the county that agree to allow the Douglas County Sheri ’s O ce to enforce it. Generally, the sheri ’s o ce provides police services outside city and town boundaries, with some exceptions.
In a unanimous move, the county’s three elected commissioners approved the expanded law on a preliminary vote.
“ is was initiated at the request of our municipalities in order to better protect all of Douglas County,” Commissioner George Teal said at the early July meeting where the vote took place.
Among cities and towns in Douglas, only Castle Rock so far has taken action to allow the sheri to enforce the busing ordinance within its boundaries, according to the county.
County o cials have framed the policy as safeguarding the “community’s overall well-being.” e discourse in Douglas County surrounding migrant people has seen the topic of crime come up. Douglas County Sheri Darren Weekly recently suggested that migrants
moving south from Denver into the county are to blame for increased crime, though his remarks appear unsupported by evidence, Colorado Newsline reported.
County o cials have acknowledged that they aren’t aware of any migrants being dropped o in the county by commercial vehicles.
But before voting to approve the rst version of the busing law in April, Teal said: “ ere will come a time when we need this ordinance, and it might be sooner than later.”
Teal worried that Denver would start diverting buses carrying migrants from Texas to Colorado’s capital city to neighboring communities.
“I can’t help but think it’s only a matter of time,” Teal said.
Asked by the Douglas County News-Press about that fear, Jon Ewing, a city spokesperson, said Denver has not diverted buses of migrants to Douglas County.
“We haven’t and we won’t,” Ewing said in April.
Je Garcia, Douglas County’s attorney, said in early July that to the county’s knowledge, since December 2022, no government or organization has brought migrants out of Denver into shelters in Douglas.
Asked whether Douglas County knows of any migrant or migrants being dropped o anywhere across the county by commercial buses, vans or trucks since December 2022, Garcia said: “I’m not aware of any.”
e sheri ’s o ce says it has not seen enforcement activity under the rst version of the ordinance.
“We have not issued any citations or warnings under (this) ordinance,” said Deputy Cocha Heyden, a spokesperson for the sheri ’s ofce. “We have also had no calls for service related to this ordinance
since it became e ective.” e county’s three commissioners approved the expanded law on a preliminary vote, or rst reading, at a July 9 meeting. It could be adopted on a nal vote on July 23, according to the draft ordinance document.
If approved, the expanded law would also automatically take e ect where the sheri ’s o ce already provides law enforcement in municipalities, including Larkspur and Castle Pines.
Some migrant people came to Douglas Commissioner Abe Laydon has pointed to the likelihood that some migrant people could go outside of Denver.
“From a commonsense standpoint, it would be impossible for 40,000 people to come to … Denver and not anticipate that there (would) be some bleed into neighboring counties,” Laydon said in late February. But he acknowledged he did not know for sure whether any organization or local government has brought migrants into Douglas County.
Douglas County says a small number of migrants have sought its services.
Fewer than 20 migrants sought services — primarily shelter — during the weeks of Feb. 26 and March 4, according to county sta .
A county spokesperson said some of the people told the county they were from Venezuela, but others came from other countries.
County sta did not immediately respond to a request for updated numbers when asked how many migrants have sought Douglas County services from March through early July.
LIMITS
e law the county is poised to expand to at least some municipalities does not mention migrants or any other groups, only mentioning “commercial passengers.”
It prohibits commercial passenger vehicles from stopping in unincorporated parts of the county to unload passengers other than at a “planned and scheduled documented destination.”
e law applies to any vehicle where payment is involved for transportation, including buses,
It does not include vehicles rented or leased by the driver, vehicles operated by the Regional Transportation District, or RTD, or any government body of the State of Colorado, ride-sharing services, or
In a world where time is a precious commodity, the ability to empathize with others and make small sacri ces for the greater good often falls by the wayside. Despite legitimate reasons and clear opportunities to help, many of us nd ourselves prioritizing our own convenience. is brings us to the concept of “doing the right thing” — a principle that, though simple in theory, proves challenging in practice.
Take, for instance, a common scenario at the grocery store. A man, visibly in a rush, approaches the checkout line and asks if he can cut ahead, explaining that he needs to get home to care for his sick child. One might expect understanding and a bit of human kindness, yet he is met with a curt refusal and a reminder that “we are all in a rush.” e irony of the situation becomes glaringly apparent when, minutes later, the same man who refused the request is seen sitting outside on a bench, leisurely smoking a cigarette. is small act of indi erence highlights a broader issue: our inability to momentarily set aside our priorities to assist others, even when it costs us next to nothing.
WINNING been
VOICES
Decency and courtesy amid rush and crush
in the con nes of an airplane. Imagine a ight that has been delayed, causing many passengers to worry about their tight connecting ights. Upon landing, the pilot or ight attendant kindly requests that those who have reached their nal destination remain seated, allowing passengers with tight connections to disembark rst. Despite this reasonable request, a signi cant number of passengers stand up and crowd the aisle, eager to be the rst ones o the plane. Observing these passengers later, casually grabbing a drink or waiting at the baggage carousel, reveals that their hurry was more about personal impatience than genuine urgency.
e ect on those around us. By choosing to do the right thing, whether it’s letting someone cut in line or staying seated to help a fellow traveler, we contribute to a more compassionate and considerate society. It’s easy to rationalize our actions and justify our behavior by convincing ourselves that our needs are more pressing. Yet, taking a step back to consider the broader context can lead to more empathetic choices. In the case of the grocery store, allowing someone with a sick child to go ahead might only cost us a few extra minutes, but it could make a signi cant di erence in their day. Similarly, remaining seated on a delayed ight so that others can catch their connecting ights may seem like a minor inconvenience, but it can alleviate considerable stress for those travelers.
out for others, we acknowledge that we are part of a larger community where everyone is navigating their own challenges and pressures. Empathy, particularly during hectic times, can bridge the gaps created by our individual pursuits. It reminds us that despite the hustle, we all share common human experiences and that a little kindness can go a long way.
Another telling example unfolds
ese everyday incidents, though seemingly minor, underscore a profound truth: many of us struggle to act with decency and courtesy when it comes to looking out for others. e decisions we make in these moments, however small, have a ripple
JLiving with more decency and courtesy doesn’t require grand gestures or signi cant sacri ces. Often, it’s the small acts of kindness and consideration that have the most profound impact. Whether it’s holding a door open, o ering a seat, or simply being patient, these actions foster a sense of community and shared humanity.
When we make the e ort to look
In the rush of daily life, it’s worth reminding ourselves of the importance of empathy and kindness. By making a conscious e ort to do the right thing, even when it’s not the easiest or most convenient option, we can create a more supportive and compassionate world. I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com because after all, we are all in this together, and our actions, no matter how small, can make a signi cant difference in the lives of others, and that really will help us to live a better than good life.

HIGHLANDS RANCH NATIVE MAKES TEAM USA ROWING SQUAD
Jessica
from Colorado to the Olympics
BY JOHN RENFROW
Even while playing multiple sports at Mountain Vista High School, Jessica oennes never saw herself as a stellar athlete; much less an Olympian. But a decade later, that’s exactly what she is after qualifying for Team USA as a rower on the women’s pair team. It’s not her rst time qualifying, either.
oennes spoke with Colorado Community Media on the Fourth of July before hopping on a plane to Paris for the Summer Olympics.
“As I have been told many times in my career,
there is no better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than by practicing my craft for the United States,” oennes said.
So rather than hot dogs and reworks, oennes enjoyed multiple weightlifting sessions, in-thewater practice runs, yoga, working online, packing and more.
It’s her return to the big stage after the Tokyo Games in 2020, where she was a bow seat in the women’s eight group of rowers. at squad nished fourth in that event.
Now she and her partner, Azja Czajkowski, pair up for the U.S. as a smaller unit going for the gold after winning the pair at the 2024 U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Team Trials in April.
oennes and Czajkowski will compete against the world’s best rowing pairs later this month. But oennes’ journey to the top of her sport is unique; she had never rowed in her life until walk-
ing on to the University of Washington’s team in 2015. at’s about as late a start as possible.
And she wasn’t exactly counting up o ers from colleges, she said.
“I was probably one of the least talented athletes in all of the incredible number of people that came out of Mountain Vista,” oennes said. “And I don’t say that humbly; I say that as a fact. I had the privilege of playing on a volleyball team where, I think, 12 out of 13 women went to a Division I school to play volleyball. I had a basketball team where I was the varsity benchwarmer. I just wasn’t quite in my body yet. I really was scrappy, though.” at scrappiness took her to the world stage again. For more on her journey and focus going into Paris, check out the brief Q&A with oennes on the next page.

Colorado Community Media: How did you
become an Olympian and Division I athlete if you weren’t as good as the other girls on your Mountain Vista teams?
oennes:I was scrappy, determined and I outworked everybody else. ose were my characteristics in high school. I knew I wasn’t the biggest, I knew I wasn’t the fastest and I knew I wasn’t the strongest. So I had to be able to outwork, out-hustle and be willing to go just another inch to just make the team, which really helped when I went to college as a walk-on. I had never rowed before.
CCM: How did you get into rowing in college?
oennes:I had no idea what I was getting myself into. One of my characteristics is I say, ‘Well, how hard can it actually be?’ So I said to myself, ‘I’ll do it for a year. How hard could it be?’ And it turns out I was really bad. It was really hard. And I was like, “Well, I’ve really gotten myself up this creek without a paddle, so I better gure this out.’ It took me about two years to come around and gure things out. By the time I hit my junior year, I was like, ‘Oh, this is fantastic. I love this. is is incredible.’ So, I’ve always been scrappy. I’ve never been the No. 1. But I had a lot of try. I’m a bit of a stubborn creature and I just keep working at things.
CCM: What was your reaction to learning you made the Olympics again?
oennes: at was one of the best moments where, for a little bit, I was wondering if the three-and-a-half, four years that I’ve worked … You have all those thoughts that go through your head like, ‘Is this going to pay o ? Is this going to work?’ And in those moments, you can’t really think about that. But as soon as the buzzer went o , I was so elated because it was just a con rmation of, ‘Yeah, I do this really well and I have been doing this really well.’
CCM: How do you balance that elation with the quick turnaround of getting to work for Paris?
oennes: I think I did it a little bit better than I did last time. One, it comes with experience. But I think I just knew that if we wanted to really have a big impact on the pair eld, like Azja and I were both hoping, we needed to take a few days and celebrate, take a rest. en get right back to work.
CCM: What’s a typical day for you when you’re preparing for the Olympics?
oennes:I’m up every day super early. Out of the house by 6 o’clock. We do one practice in the morning, and that’s about two and a half hours; three once you get all your warmup stu in. Get o the water. I work in addition to rowing, so I’ll hop online for an hour or two to kind of decompress for practice and get some work sorted. en hop back in the boat or cross-train for an afternoon session. en I’ve been doing a ton of yoga. We are religious weightlifters. We are in the gym, at minimum twice a day, but usually three times a day.
CCM: As a pair, you’re relying on a partner heavily, but what are one or two things you feel you need to polish ahead of the Olympics?
oennes: Every pair has its own unique dynamic in what you need to do. As the stroke seat, something that I really needed to solidify in these past couple of months has been providing a rhythm that is followable and fast. at’s something that we have been working on super diligently. at falls a little heavier on my shoulders, but Azja certainly contributes in that aspect. She’s got all the power back there. She’s hauling me around a lot of the time. Speci cally, I’ve really been working on my catch entry, which is the dynamic portion of rowing you can never be too good at. As your blade enters the water, you have to be patient to let it go all the way in and not jump on it before you’re fully buried. So my focus has been rhythm and catches.
Jessica Thoennes, middle, shares a moment with her fellow rowers between competitions. As one of the members of the pair team, Thoennes said her success comes from doing her part but also relying on her partner to match her energy and rhythm. PHOTOS COURTESY OF ROW2K

Miners Alley goes back to school
There are many ways to approach school, and not every student thrives under the same conditions. Or, in the case of Dewey Finn, every teacher. But that just provides the opportunity for more creativity in learning, and as the musical “School of Rock” at Miners Alley Playhouse entertainingly demonstrates, that can make all the di erence.
And that willingness to learn extends to the creatives on and o stage.
“For me, if a project scares me, that means I should do it,” said Warren Sherrill, director of the production and associate artistic director at Miners Alley. “When I was approached about directing this show it was really exciting to me, because it’s a massive undertaking. ere are a bunch of kids on stage (about

“School of Rock” runs at Miners Alley, 1100 Miners Alley in Golden, from Friday, July 26 through Sunday, Sept. 15. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on ursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.
e show features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater and a book by Julian Fellowes and is based on the classic 2003 lm starring Jack Black. e story fol-
lows Dewey, a failed rockstar who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. ere he discovers a class of straight-A students and decides to turn them into the rock band he always wanted.
e one of the biggest challenges was nding child actors who could handle the many requirements of their roles — they essentially have to be triple threats, as they have to act, sing and play instruments. Sherrill said about 70 children auditioned and the actors they selected are going to wow audiences.
“ e kids are just amazing talents and they carry a large chunk of the show and they’re going to knock people over,” he said. “I’m so excited for audiences to see them and witness their brilliance.”
Light Up the Night at the Pedal
the
Moon Bike Ride
Castle Rock’s annual Pedal the Moon bike ride is one of those special events that can only happen during the summer.
e ride will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 20, with participants meeting at Castle View High School, 5254 N. Meadows Drive. From there, riders will follow the East Plum Creek Trail. Cyclists are encouraged to get festive and soup up their bikes with light and other decorations and they can use a decorating station located at the intersection of East Plum Creek and Hangman’s Gulch trails with glowin-the-dark items and other goodies. All participants must wear a helmet and have a front headlamp and blinking rear light. Registration and other details are available at https:// visitcastlerock.org/events/.
While the aim is always to entertain audiences, Sherrill hopes that they also come away with a renewed appreciation of the importance of music, especially for you children. It really has the power to unlock so much that a less creative education can’t.
“A big part of the show is the kids nding their true selves through music, no matter what that is,” he said. “It’s about doing what you feel passionate about and having a sense of security that I’ve always felt the arts provide.”

Because most of the money and resources will be passed through several behind-the-scenes committees, Highlands Ranch voters will need to pay attention to whose interests will be served by Burcham and his wealthy backers.

Proposed changes would have explicitly prohibited discrimination and harassment against transgender and nonbinary students and would mirror new language in the federal Title IX law as well as a 2023 Colorado law. is should be a no-brainer in helping to protect at-risk youth.
To those parents who oppose the change, I am betting you would be singing a di erent tune if your child was at risk. Our world needs more tolerance, not less, and that is what we are getting with this opposition.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LONE TREE
Series of 2024 Ordinance No. 24-07
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE AMENDED PLAT TITLED “RIDGEGATE SW VILLAGE FILING NO. 2, AMENDMENT NO. 1” AND VACATING A SPECIFIC PORTION OF LYRIC STREET AS SHOWN THEREIN (SB24-0004)
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LONE TREE, COLORADO:
ARTICLE 1 – AUTHORITY
The City of Lone Tree (the “City”) is a home rule municipality operating under the Lone Tree Home Rule Charter (the “Charter”) adopted on May 5, 1998, and the Lone Tree Municipal Code (the “Code”), codified and adopted on December 7, 2004, as amended.
The City has the authority and power to adopt and amend ordinances pursuant to the Charter, the Code, and the authority given home rule cities by Colorado law.
Per Code Sec. 17-7-100(a), City Council has the authority to vacate public right-of-way, including any portion of a public street, that was dedicated to the City via a subdivision plat, by approving a plat amendment that complies with Code Sec. 177-100(b)(3)c.2. And per Code Sec. 17-7-100(b) (4)d., City Council shall approve or deny applications to vacate public right-of-way by ordinance.
Further, C.R.S. § 43-2-303(1)(a) provides that the City Council may vacate any roadway or part thereof located within the corporate limits of the City by ordinance.
ARTICLE 2 – FINDINGS OF FACT
A. Ridgegate Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RGI”), dedicated certain public right-of-way for Lyric Street to the City in 2023 by that certain subdivision plat titled RIDGEGATE SW VILLAGE FILING NO. 2 (“SW Village No. 2”), approved by the City on January 25, 2023, and recorded on January 26, 2023, at Reception No. 2023003756 in the real property records of Douglas County, Colorado.
B. SH Lyric, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“SH Lyric”), is under contract with RGI to develop SW Village No. 2.
C. SH Lyric and RGI desire to realign a portion of the platted public right-of-way identified as Lyric Street on SW Village No. 2 by removing a “stub out” of Lyric Street, as better shown on the proposed plat amendment RIDGEGATE SW VILLAGE FILING NO. 2, AMENDMENT NO. 1, attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Amended Plat”), through the vacation process in the Code.
D. Lyric Street has not yet been constructed or used by the public as a right-of-way.
E. That specific portion of Lyric Street to be vacated by this Ordinance is described with specificity in Detail “E” on Sheet 6 of the Amended Plat, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and it consists of a total of 0.071 acres, more or less.
F. The City Council specifically finds and determines that the vacation of that portion of Lyric Street (the “ROW”) described in the Amended Plat will not leave any land adjoining said vacated ROW without an established public road or private access easement connecting said land with another established public road.
G. Code Sec. 17-7-100(b)(2) provides that title to the land of the vacated ROW shall vest in accordance with Section 43-2-302, C.R.S.
H. C.R.S. § 43-2-302(1)(d) provides that in all instances not specifically provided for in C.R.S. § 43-2-302(1)(a) – (c), title to vacated roadway shall vest in the owners of the abutting land, each abutting owner taking that portion of the vacated roadway in which his land, or any part thereof, is nearest in proximity.
I. Lyric Owners Association, Inc., a Colorado nonprofit corporation (“Lyric”), and RGI each own a portion of the land that abuts the ROW vacated by this Ordinance. Title to the land in the vacated ROW shall vest in Lyric and RGI per C.R.S. § 43-2-302(1)(d).
J. The posted notice required by Section 17-7110 has been provided.
K. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed vacation of the ROW described herein and has reported no objection to the vacation.
L. The City Council finds that the ROW to be vacated as described in this Ordinance is no longer needed for right-of-way purposes, the rights of the residents of the City of Lone Tree will not be prejudiced or injured by the vacation of said ROW, and it is in the public interest to proceed with the ROW vacation contemplated herein.
M. City Council finds that the Amended Plat contains limiting language in its statement of intent and purpose, and it does not modify or change any lots or lot lines created by SW Village No. 2. Nor does the Amended Plat modify or change any tracts, easements, or rights-of-way created by SW Village No. 2 except as expressly provided for in the Amended Plat.
N. Public notice regarding the scheduled public hearing on this Ordinance has been published in the Douglas County News-Press, a newspaper of general circulation within the City of Lone Tree, in accordance with the requirements of Article V, Section 7 of the Charter.
O. The City Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application to vacate the ROW, and it recommends approval of the Amended Plat and vacating the ROW.
P. City Council has evaluated the applicable development application, referral agency comments (as applicable), the staff report, and public testimony, if any, related to the ROW vacation request and Amended Plat.
Q. Approval of this Ordinance on first reading does not constitute a representation that the City Council, or any member of the City Council, supports, approves, rejects, or denies the proposal and merely reflects Council’s decision to follow procedural requirements for adoption of Ordi-
Public Notices
nances by providing two readings. The Council’s decision to adopt or reject this Ordinance shall occur upon second reading.
ARTICLE 3 – SAFETY CLAUSE
The City Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that this Ordinance is promulgated under the general police power of the City, that it is promulgated for the health, safety, and welfare of the public, and that this Ordinance is necessary for the preservation of health and safety and for the protection of public convenience and welfare.
ARTICLE 4 – APPROVAL OF PLAT AMENDMENT “RIDGEGATE SW VILLAGE FILING NO. 2, AMENDMENT NO. 1” AND VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY
A. The City Council hereby approves the plat amendment RIDGEGATE SW VILLAGE FILING NO. 2, AMENDMENT NO. 1, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and vacates the ROW legally described in Detail “E” on Sheet 6 of the attached RIDGEGATE SW VILLAGE FILING NO. 2, AMENDMENT NO. 1, consisting of a total of 0.071 acres, more or less, based on City Council’s findings set forth in this Ordinance and in accordance with C.R.S. § 43-2-303.
B. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 43-2-303(2)(f) and Code Sec. 17-7-100(4)f., City Council directs the City Clerk to record a certified copy of this Ordinance and the Amended Plat in the real property records of the Douglas County Clerk and Recorder, following the effective date of this Ordinance and signing of the Amended Plat by the Mayor.
C. Following the effective date of this Ordinance, the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, is authorized to execute any quitclaim deeds deemed necessary to convey the vacated ROW to Lyric and RGI, respectively, if such a quitclaim deed is requested and prepared by Lyric or RGI and approved by the City Attorney.
D. D. Approval of the Amended Plat by this Ordinance does not require future amendments to the Amended Plat to be by ordinance. The intent of approving the Amended Plat by Ordinance is to allow Council to vacate the ROW described herein through approval of the Amended Plat..
ARTICLE 5 – SEVERABILITY
If any part or provision of this Ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, is adjudged to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such part, provision, or application shall not affect any of the remaining parts, provisions or applications of this Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision, part or application, and to this end the provisions and parts of this Ordinance are declared to be severable.
ARTICLE 6 - EFFECTIVE DATE
This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days following publication after the first reading if no changes are made on second reading, or twenty (20) days after publication following second reading if changes are made upon second reading.

2. The Improvements described above will be funded from legally available moneys of the
County, private placement construction loan or by the issuance of special assessment bonds by the County (the “Financing”). The Financing shall be paid through special assessments imposed against the real property included within the boundaries of the Proposed District and specifically benefited by the Improvements. The estimated total cost of constructing the Improvements, but less the amount expected to be provided by other sources as described in paragraph 4 below, is $10,430,000. The method of assessment shall be as follows:
Each buildable lot and parcel within the boundaries of the Proposed District shall be assessed an equal share of the total cost of the Improvements. The estimated maximum full per lot assessment is $266,000 for Group A and $226,000 for Group B. The estimated costs of the Improvements exclude the costs of inspection, engineering, surveying, testing, incidentals, County administration, and general legal expenses. If such assessment is paid in installments, additional costs including interest and additional statutory County Treasurer collection fees will be added to such payments.
3. Assessments shall be payable either within thirty (30) days after publication of the resolution making the assessments on each parcel of land benefited, or in installments payable with interest and statutory County Treasurer collection fees over the term of the Financing, at the election of each property owner. The term of the Financing shall not exceed ten (10) years. If not paid in full within thirty (30) days as described, assessments shall be payable with interest at a rate not to exceed 12% per annum, in ten (10) annual installments.
The rate of interest on unpaid and deferred installments shall be determined by the Board of County Commissioners and set forth in the Assessing Resolution. In addition, County collections fees will be charged on full payments and installment payments as State law requires.
3.1 As shown by the estimates previously prepared and filed with the County Clerk, the probable total cost of the Improvements in the Proposed District, including, without limitation, construction, contingency, design, administration and supervision, and legal is $10,360,000. Of said cost it is estimated that $0 will be paid by the County and the Perry Park Metro District for survey, design, administration, and construction management of the Improvements. It is estimated that approximately $250,000 will be assessed against the benefited property within the Proposed District.
Upon completion and acceptance of the Improvements or any part thereof, or as soon as the total actual cost thereof can be reasonably ascertained, such cost shall be apportioned to each lot or parcel of land in the Proposed District. Notice of such apportionment shall be given, and a hearing will be held prior to the adoption of the Assessing Resolution, all as provided by law.
3.2 Not less than 30 days after publication of this Notice, i.e. on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 2:30 p.m., a resolution creating the Proposed District and authorizing the Improvements will be considered and a public hearing thereon will be held by the Board of County Commissioners at the Philip S. Miller Building, 100 Third Street, Castle Rock, Colorado.
3.3 An estimate of costs, a map, and a schedule showing the approximate amount to be assessed and all resolutions and proceedings are on file and may be seen and examined by any person interested at the County Department of Public Works – Engineering, Engineering Services Division, 100 Third Street, Castle Rock, Colorado at any time during business hours on or before the date specified in paragraph 6 hereof.

The estimated total cost of constructing the Improvements, but less the amount expected to be provided by other sources as described in paragraph 4 below, is $19,580,000. The method of assessment shall be as follows:
Each buildable lot and parcel within the boundaries of the Proposed District shall be assessed an equal share of the total cost of the Improvements. The assessment for each buildable lot or parcel for the Improvements is estimated to be $270,000.

3.1 As shown by the estimates previously prepared and filed with the County Clerk, the probable total cost of the Improvements in the Proposed District, including, without limitation, construction, contingency, design, administration and supervision, and legal is $19,980,000. Of said cost it is estimated that $0 will be paid by the County and the Perry Park Metro for survey, design, administration, and construction management of the Improvements. It is estimated that approximately $270,000 will be assessed against the benefited property within the Proposed District.
Upon completion and acceptance of the Improvements or any part thereof, or as soon as the total actual cost thereof can be reasonably ascertained, such cost shall be apportioned to each lot or parcel of land in the Proposed District.
