If Carlson elementary school does move or need to moves why is this space not being considered for its new site? It has none of the problems nor costs associated with the demolition or refurbishment of Building 103. Additionally why is this also not being considered for park space - potentially a partnership with the Recreation District like the old rodeo grounds. Because the County stands to sell the property for the purchase price all of these proposals seem shortsighted.

Being close to the planned area this is a concern, we bought in the area because we like the rural setting. INCREASED PUMPING IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA
Another reason that wells "go dry" is the lowering of the water table by increased pumpage in the immediate area. Housing developments with small lots and individual wells have been built in many rural areas. If the aquifer is low yielding so that pumping causes a large drawdown, a cone of depression will develop around each well. Thus, several domestic wells close together can create a steady lowering of the water table if pumpage exceeds the natural recharge to the system (unless the withdrawn water is returned to the aquifer through septic systems). A third major reason that rural wells "go dry" is the installation of larger capacity wells for municipal, industrial, or agricultural purposes adjacent to residental areas. The increased withdrawals may cause large widespread cones of depression that intersect one another and cause general water-level declines that affect nearby domestic wells.

Please keep in mind that the building on this property has been looked at for another early care and learning site for our county. The Needs Assessment done in 2018 indicates that even with the new infant and toddler center at the Resource Center opening in early 2022, that new program will not meet the need especially for additional infant/toddler care. If you don't have a copy of the Needs Assessment in your file, please request from Laurie Beckel.
Expanding Early Care and Learning in Clear Creek County

So I do not feel any of the proposed development proposals have the best interests of the residents that live here in mind. Again this is the county attempting to dabble in the real-estate industry and using our taxes to do so. Instead of trying to develop a beautiful area that is perfect just the way it is. Why doesn’t the county actually listen to people that live here and make a community center that has daycare as well as a museum. There is a pre-existing baseball field that could be used as a baseball and athletic field for local residents.
I am extremely disappointed in the county and how they want to bring the city to a rural area! There is nothing wrong with beautiful open spaces!
In addition what is this going to do to our sewer and already stressed water resources in the area. Many residents wells have and are going dry. We have to use bottled water at this point because our well is not producing anymore. The county plays with our tax dollars inappropriately. There is no foresight when it comes to this area, and no one seems to value any of the residents opinions!
STOP IT! Stop playing the real estate market trying to make a buck off me! Stop trying to force your development ideas down out throats! Stop ignoring us when we come to meetings and voice our opinions!
The county is supposed to be run by public servants that listen to the people and are appointed by the people to represent the people. This is not how you are acting.
If you want to have affordable housing for people then create actual affordable housing and stop trying to make a buck off of me and all of the other residents that live in this community. Make affordable housing in a place where jobs exist.. Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Evergreen, Empire.
Try building a preschool or daycare center, a community center, a museum and employee a few people who need jobs locally instead of bringing more people into a already economically stressed and depressed area.
