BOCC advances conservation‑easement ordinances for Bellejack Blue Ranch parcels on first reading
Summary
The board took up first readings of three ordinances to accept conservation‑easement deeds tied to the Bellejack Blue Ranch subdivision approvals in Upper Little Woody Creek. Staff and the Open Space Board recommended approval; the measures were moved forward on first reading.
County staff briefed the BOCC on three ordinances accepting previously‑committed conservation easements for Parcels 1–3 of the Bellejack Blue Ranch subdivision in the Woody Creek area. Staff explained the easements were conditions of the earlier subdivision/PUD approvals and were shown as hatched areas on plats included in the packet.
Dale (staff) described the location and purpose of the easements, noting they protect lower‑slope sides of parcels and a peninsula of private land surrounded on three sides by Forest Service holdings. He said the Open Space Board and staff recommended acceptance because the easements were part of earlier approvals and their acceptance helps make the transaction durable across changes in landowners and commissioners.
The BOCC asked to see maps (on the packet) and moved each ordinance forward on first reading; staff indicated a second reading with additional site‑visit detail would follow.
