Davis said the town council approved steps to annex a portion of the Pine Canyon parcel into Castle Rock and described development plans for the site. He reported the parcel is owned roughly half by the Walker family and half by the Scott family, that a developer proposes about 1,800 homes and a hotel‑spa on land portions, and that a town manager estimate of purchasing the entire parcel would be about $25,000,000. Davis said the council approved the annexation because, he said, the developer prefers town services (water, sewer and street maintenance) rather than separate county services if the development remained in Douglas County.

The liaison also described a project called Rockyard, a multi‑building complex including a hotel. Davis said the first building adjacent to the freeway will be six stories, with other buildings up to four stories; he noted the topography will make the taller building appear higher from some vantage points. He said the developer will complete much of the infrastructure work, including roadway widening and drainage, as part of the project approvals.

Council Member Davis reported that the council approved financing for a new recreation center the developer will build as part of a larger complex. He described the facility as an indoor complex with an indoor track, four pools, courts for pickleball and basketball, and space for classes. He said estimated construction costs are about $72,000,000 and that the town expects to retire the financing over about 30–35 years; initial site grading has begun and construction is not expected to finish for at least two years.

Davis and others described associated roadwork: the developer will widen Prairie Hawk and extend access toward Plum Creek, add sidewalks and drainage, and contribute to other local roadway improvements that the council said should ultimately be widened to four lanes in places. Davis said engineers and discussions with neighboring property owners are underway to secure right‑of‑way for those improvements.

The liaison briefed the board on a separate conversion project near Park Street: a hotel that previously existed on that site is being reconfigured to provide 24 living units intended for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), with ground‑floor community spaces such as classrooms and exercise rooms; the council waived some fees for that project, and the adjacent churchparking will be expanded and shared with the project, Davis said.

Davis also reported administrative items: Judge Thrower (as cited in the meeting) was named the local liquor license authority, meaning liquor licensing applications will go through that office; and the council continues to review proposed zoning changes along Park Street that could raise building heights in industrial areas, an item Davis said the council is pushing to limit to lower heights locally.

Why this matters: the projects Davis described would add thousands of housing units, substantial commercial and recreation space, and major street changes that could affect traffic, views and local infrastructure over multiple years. Several items he described — annexation, developer‑funded infrastructure, site grading and financing approvals — are already moving through town processes and will return for more formal project review and permitting.

Hartman said the town council formally approved a proclamation recognizing Historic Preservation Month and that the historical society attended the proclamation ceremony. The board has posted graphics and posters downtown and is distributing a small print run of walking‑tour brochures and restaurant coloring sheets for Mother’s Day weekend as part of outreach to families.

Hartman reported a new online walking tour is now available at crgov.com/historywalks and will be added to the town’s mobile site; the online version supplements the printed walking tour and will include current photos or historical photos when available. The board discussed placing QR codes and paper copies at visible downtown locations and asked members to help distribute remaining posters to local businesses.

Hartman also described the spring kickoff concert plans: vendor rows will be placed on Second Street and setup will begin in the mid‑afternoon, with the concert starting at 5 p.m.; she said last year the downtown location increased visibility and drew positive feedback.

Why this matters: the outreach and online tour aim to increase public engagement with the town’s historic resources and broaden access to walking‑tour content beyond printed materials.
