Executive Summary
This agenda item is an Ordinance requesting the conveyance of Lot 1, The Meadows Filing 16 - Parcels 1,2,3 and 4, 4th Amendment to Douglas County School District (DCSD or the District) for the Clear Sky Elementary School site.
Meadows Filing 16 includes a 10.2472-acre school site that was dedicated to the Town of Castle Rock in 2004 by Castle Rock Development Company as required in The Meadows 4th Amendment to the Development Plan for the construction of an elementary school. The dedication was a result of the density of students in the surrounding area.
As is normal practice, the Town of Castle Rock holds possession of the property until the DCSD has funds to construct the facility. At that time, the Town typically transfers the property to the District.
DCSD completed construction of Clear Sky Elementary in 2007 but did not complete the plat required to convey the property. Town staff discovered the error in recent years and worked with the District to complete the plat in order to convey the property. The plat is now complete and recorded and the District has requested the transfer of the property.
Staff recommends the transfer to the District at this time.
Notification and Outreach Efforts
The project went through the Town review process in 2007.
History of Past Town Council, Boards & Commissions, or Other Discussions
The need for the school was established by the Douglas County School District through The Meadows PD 4th Amendment to the Development Plan.
Budget Impact
