Ken-Caryl Ranch board adopts revised conservation and preservation resolution
Summary
The Ken-Caryl Ranch Metropolitan District board unanimously adopted a revised resolution (26‑10‑4) that adds 'preservation' alongside 'conservation' in its management definitions and aligns district language with the master association; the vote was 4–0.
The Ken-Caryl Ranch Metropolitan District Board of Directors unanimously adopted a revised Resolution 26‑10‑4 that inserts the word “preservation” alongside “conservation” in the district’s management-plan language.
At the April meeting, staff presented an updated draft of the resolution and a definitions page intended to align terminology between the Metropolitan District and the Master Association. Chad (staff) said the change responds to community requests for a clearly defined preservation area and will make the planning and management documents consistent across both organizations.
Board members indicated broad support during discussion. Jeff Meacham said he and others had previously treated the two words as interchangeable but that the definitions clarified meaningful differences. President Mike and other board members agreed the dual-language approach better reflects sensitive natural and cultural resources identified in the management plan.
After brief public comments supporting preservation and describing volunteer restoration work in sensitive areas, President Mike moved to adopt the revised resolution; Jeff Meacham seconded. Angela (staff) conducted a roll-call vote and the measure passed 4–0.
The resolution as adopted adds preservation-focused language to the district’s management plan, and staff said final regulatory and plan refinements will continue as the project moves through county planning review.
