Conifer rec group airs survey results

The Conifer Recreation Coalition combined its survey results — Nemchak said 177 people completed it — with those of a Jefferson County Open Space survey and a Conifer Area Council survey conducted earlier in the year.

In her presentation, Nemchak noted that survey takers named mountain biking at Staunton State Park, sledding at Meyer Ranch Park, fishing at Pine Valley Ranch Park and disc golfing at Beaver Ranch Park as favorite existing opportunities, among others.

Amenities they would like to see include a swimming pool, a recreation center and gym, ball courts, an event space and better maintenance of existing infrastructure. They also said they want to bring more sledding, playgrounds, snowshoe trails, an ice-skating and hockey rink and zip-lining to the area.

The next Conifer Project PLACE workshop will be at 7 p.m. March 12 at West Jefferson Middle School, 9449 S. Barnes Ave., Conifer, and will be a continuation of outreach, collecting ideas and drafting the master plan that Nemchak hopes will be completed by June.

No, it is not, as explained in the earlier threads I linked to at the bottom. This group is looking to develop a master plan so that they can present it for grant requests from the county and state in order to promote what's already in existence, or build new if requested by the community at large. No taxes have ever been discussed with this group.

Not yet anyway. Didn't they mention ball courts and a swimming pool in the study? Same crap with a different coat of paint.

Sorry Grady, I beg to differ. Its certainly not the same crap.

I invite you to take a look at the links and educate yourself on what this is really about, I think you would be pleasantly surprised.

Last night, we (CRC) shared what the community said THEY wanted to see when THEY responded to our survey. Project PLACE is not pushing for anything to be built, a rec district or any taxable entity. Let me make that abundantly clear. We are preparing a master plan to give teeth to those who want to find funds for their own projects, whether they be businesses, organizations or individuals. It is not in our scope to build anything.

I also invite you to also attend our 2nd Project PLACE community outreach meeting on March 12th at West Jeff Middle School at 7:00. Come see for yourself. And, please come introduce yourself to me, I will be looking forward to meeting you.

Thank you Tookie, that's what I was going to say - these are the results of the community survey and it's what the community said they wanted. I'm going to do my best to be at the next Workshop.

Grady, you might be interested in attending the Rezoning Community Meeting happening tonight, as I believe it's in the Journey Church's plans to build a rec center and they are supposed to present their plans for why they want to have it rezoned. If they do, then it's taken care of. Unfortunately, I have to attend the Elk Creek Fire BOD meeting tonight so I will be unable to go to the rezoning meeting. If anyone does, an update would be greatly appreciated!
