Summary
Staff reported installation of perimeter signage around Track 317 to deter vehicle access from county roads and said a subdivision‑vacation survey will be submitted to Pueblo County planning; county review and Planning & Zoning and BOCC hearings are expected later this spring.
The board received an update on Track 317, where the district has been experiencing unauthorized vehicle access from county roads that leads onto district property.
Parks/land‑management staff reported the board’s direction to employ a minimal approach — installing signage at five public‑right‑of‑way entry points — and said the signs are now in place. Staff will monitor the situation through the end of March to evaluate effectiveness.
Staff also reported the district’s surveyor will prepare a subdivision‑vacation application to send to Pueblo County Planning and Development; that application will need Planning & Zoning Commission review and Board of County Commissioners action. Staff estimated a planning timeline that could reach late April for county action but said county meeting agendas for early 2025 had not yet been posted.
Why it matters Vacating or formally adjusting subdivision lines and limiting unauthorized access will change the district’s ability to manage the subject parcels, affect potential lot counts and reduce maintenance and liability exposure for the district.
Next steps Staff to monitor sign effectiveness through March and to file the subdivision‑vacation materials with Pueblo County; staff will return with status updates and any county responses to enforcement requests. The district is also coordinating with county public works and the sheriff’s office on potential enforcement actions if signs and coordination do not resolve unauthorized access.
