bulletLooking into increased flow of water. Tom Ranucci will be going to the next East Cherry Creek Water Division (ECCWD) board meeting to get an explanation. A lot of properties along the creek bed are turning into swamp land. The county has plans to install the concrete dams along the creek bed.

We have been successful in the redesign of the Piney Creek trail from just west of Tower Road to Cherry Creek State Park. We now have a separate horse trail which means we can ride from our backyards down to the state park without interference. Arapahoe County planning and their Architect, Mr. Doug Rockne, were great to deal with and very helpful. The original plan did not have a horse trail included and we would have had to ride along the concrete path which in some cases is right next to Orchard road. We were lucky in our timing and Joe Knopinski from The Farm development was instrumental in setting up our meeting. We should all give a special thanks to PCR resident Dick Snedeker, our resident trail expert. Dick did a great presentation to the County and they were very impressed with his knowledge and incorporated just about all of Dick's recommendations. Great job Dick and thank you again! We are now, to my knowledge, the only development in the area which has direct equestrian access to a state park without having to do street crossings, etc. to get there. This adds value to our home values and makes PCR that much more attractive. We have a plan available of the whole trail. Please contact me at tom@buildwell.com if you wish to check it out.

bulletPiney Creek Hollow Park
bulletThe ECCWD gave approval to the Arapahoe Park and Rec District to proceed with their plan. The final approval has to go through Arapahoe County. The plan has four fields, horse trails, a public bath/storage/picnic house and limited parking and no lights. The "Foundation" group from Sienna is taking legal action to block the park. We will keep following this development.
