Management Plan
Purpose of Management Plan: The purpose of this Management Plan is to outline and guide
uses allowed on the 157 acres of the Dry Lake Parcel identified as the "Restrictive
Covenant/Recreation Area" on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A ("Covenant Property).
The uses allowed and improvements constructed on the Property must adhere to the terms of a
Restrictive Covenant held by Eagle County, attached hereto as Exhibit B.
The purpose of this Management Plan is to provide broad goals and guidelines for development
of motorized recreational facilities and ensure safe public use of the Covenant Property through
the implementation of rules and regulations. The Management Plan is intended to create a list of
action items to develop the site appropriately so it may be opened to public recreational use. The
Management Plan is a flexible document that can be amended over time as warranted by
changing circumstances, new information, safety considerations, and other concerns. Specific
details of the site development will be added to this Management Plan as plans move forward,
such as specific location of the restroom, track layouts, parking etc.
Management Advisory Committee: In accordance with the terms of the Restrictive Covenant,
the Town of Gypsum (TOG) shall create a Management Advisory Committee for the purpose of
making recommendations to the TOG in accordance with the guidelines and policies expressed
in this Management Plan in order to ensure sound management of the Covenant Property.
Members of the Management Advisory Committee shall be selected as follows:
• The TOG shall select one representative to represent Town interests,
• The TOG shall select one representative to represent user group or lessee interests,
• Eagle County shall have the right to select one representative to represent County
interests,
• Colorado Parks & Wildlife shall have the right to select one representative to represent
CPW interests, and
• The Bureau of Land Management shall have the right to select one representative to
represent BLM interests.
TOG shall ensure that the Management Advisory Committee will meet at least quarterly to
assess progress, address concerns, and as necessary, further refine and implement this
Management Plan. Appointees to the Management Advisory Committee shall serve as volunteers
only. Recommendations of the Management Advisory Committee are advisory only and are to
be made in accordance with the guidelines and policies expressed in this Management Plan in
order to ensure sound management and use of the Covenant Property. Only the TOG has
authority to make final decisions or take official action concerning the Property, which decisions
and actions must be taken in compliance with the Restrictive Covenant and this Management
Plan.
J005683 22. DO CX / 31 C17-238
Major Action Items:
Trail Gulch Road Alignment: The TOG may seek approval to realign Trail Gulch Road (See
Exhibit C . The new realignment will follow the driveway (right fork) to the north towards the
existing structures, then turn west to intersect the original Trail Gulch Road, thus exiting the
Covenant Property as it does currently.
The benefit to this new alignment is that it creates an undivided space to the south of Trail Gulch
Road in which new recreational improvements such as parking areas and motorized tracks can be
more effectively developed without the County Road bisecting the recreation area.
The TOG will work to develop all necessary plans and documents required for realigning the
road. This will include a new survey of the proposed route, drainage plan, surfacing plan, safety
review and approval from Eagle County Engineering, Eagle County Road & Bridge, and the
Eagle County Board of County Commissioners. The County will require a new road easement be
dedicated for the new alignment.
The realignment process should not create additional work for Eagle County Road & Bridge. A
funding source for realigning the road has not been identified.
Fencing:
The three areas protected by a conservation easement will be fenced in order to keep motorized
users effectively contained within the 157 -acre track area. This three -strand smooth wire fence
must be considered wildlife -friendly using Colorado Parks & Wildlife design guidelines, with
the bottom strand 15 inches above the ground and the top wire no higher than 42 inches from the
ground. This fence will include signage every 140 yards indicating "Area Closed to Motorized
Use Behind This Fence".
Motorized Track Development: TOG intends to formalize and execute a lease of the Covenant
Property with a motorcycle club (Lessee) who proposes to develop the Covenant Property, in
accordance with the terms of the Restrictive Covenant, with a series of tracks for motorized
sport -riding use. The lease must be acceptable to Eagle County and consistent with the
Restrictive Covenant and this Management Plan. Assuming a lease is executed the Lessee will
take steps in 2017 to develop an access driveway, parking area, gated entryway, beginner track
and a youth track. The precise track and access driveway alignment has not been formalized, but
is expected to resemble the depiction on Exhibit D. Material departures from the depiction
shown on Exhibit D necessitate amending this Management Plan. The Lessee will be required to
obtain grading permits from Eagle County for work on the Covenant Property as required by any
applicable Eagle County Land Use Regulations, as may be amended from time to time. All
recreational site improvement work that involves movement of soil is subject to receiving a
grading permit from Eagle County. No physical work can take place on the Covenant Property
JOOSG8322.00cx 13 f
until the Management Plan is finalized and a lease is approved by Eagle County and executed
between the TOG and the Lessee.
Restrictive Covenant Provisions: All use and management of the Covenant Property must be
consistent with the Restrictive Covenant. While specific management plan provisions may be
amended, the terms contained in the Restrictive Covenant are permanent. The Restrictive
Covenant specifically provides that:
1. TOG shall make the Covenant Property open to the public subject to reasonable rules;
2. Eagle County has no management responsibility for the Covenant Property;
3. Eagle County shall be entitled to review and approve the form of any lease or other
agreement pertaining to the Covenant Property
4. No division or subdivision of the Covenant Property is permitted
Structures: The existing improvements may be used by the Lessee for equipment storage and
other uses permitted by the Restrictive Covenant. Should the TOG or the Lessee desire to
construct new improvements they must be consistent with the Restrictive Covenant and approved
through a revision to the Management Plan. Leases between TOG and a third party must clarify
that existing structures may be used in a manner consistent with the Restrictive Covenant and
that construction of new structures require both consistency with the Restrictive Covenant and
formal amendment to this Management Plan.
Track Development/Construction: Track Development is the sole responsibility of TOG and
the Lessee. TOG and Lessee are solely responsible for building, maintaining and operating the
motorized recreation tracks consistent with the requirements of their lease with TOG, the
Restrictive Covenant held by Eagle County, requirements further developed by the Management
Team and articulated in this Management Plan.
Water: TOG drilled a new well before completing the purchase in 2016. This well will provide
a source of water for track maintenance and dust suppression, but is not potable.
Noxious Weed Management: The site is currently infested with cheat grass and musk thistle,
both invasive noxious weeds. The TOG and the Lessee will take steps to control or reduce this
infestation through chemical, biological, or mechanical control methods. Prescribed fire is also
an acceptable weed management strategy if directed by appropriate agencies.
Property Access: TOG and Eagle County expect that the vast majority of users will access the
property from the TOG.
Restroom: A portable toilet must be installed before the Property is opened to the public. It may
be removed annually when the motorized recreation season ends. If use of the motorized
recreational facilities becomes significant, the Management Plan may be amended to require the
construction of permanent vault toilet system.
fOO568322.000X 131
Wildlife: Wildlife habitat protection was a primary goal of the acquisition of the Dry Lake
Property and helped justify the use of open space funds. Therefore, the motorized track portion
of the Covenant Property will be closed to motorized recreational use from September 301 in the
fall to May l the following spring. Other seasonal closures may be implemented if warranted
and approved by the TGG.
Site Host: TGG and the Lessee may consider allowing a site host to reside on site during the
period of time each year when the Covenant Property is open to motorized recreation. The
presence of a site host typically reduces the likelihood of vandalism and misuse of the property.
The terms of this use must be consistent with the Restrictive Covenant held by Eagle County.
Use of the Covenant Property by a site host must also be consistent with Eagle County's Land
Use Regulations. Gaining consistency with Eagle County Land Use Regulations may require
permits from Eagle County.
Signage: The site should provide substantial regulatory, directional and interpretive signage
before the track can be made open to public use. Signage should be professionally developed
and strategically posted to encourage safe, appropriate and courteous use of the property.
Facility Access Procedure and Fees: The Covenant Property must be open to the public per the
Restrictive Covenant. TGG and the Lessee must agree on any fee system to be charged to users.
The details of the fee structure, methods of payment, and enforcement must be approved by
Eagle County.
The Lessee may charge a use fee and may require membership in their organization. The fees
are expected to be used to help build, maintain and operate the motorized track and other site
improvements.
Rules and Regulations: The TOG shall develop Rules and Regulations for public use of the
Property. Such Rules and Regulations must allow public use of the Covenant Property, subject
to reasonable restrictions imposed by the TOG, and must include the following:
• No fires or fireworks
a Dogs must be leashed at all times
• Dogs are not permitted in the track area
• Property is open sunrise to sunset
■ Property is closed to motorized recreational use from first rifle season to May l
• No motorized use is permitted in adjacent conservation easement portions of property
■ No camping or other overnight use
• Any use that impedes the flow of traffic on Trail Gulch Road is prohibited
• Changes, alterations and manipulations of the course or other facilities is prohibited
• Hunting by properly licensed hunters in season is permitted
• Recreational shooting or other discharge of weapons is prohibited
{ODS68322 DOCX 13 )
• Motorized recreation must stay on formally established tracks
• Drone use is prohibited unless approved for a specific purpose solely approved by the
Town of Gypsum.
Enforcement: TOG and the Lessee have the responsibility of enforcing rules and regulations.
Eagle County does not have enforcement responsibility on the motorized recreation portion of
the Dry Lake Property. If Eagle County and TOG mutually agree that Eagle County should have
rights to enforce rules on the Dry Lake property, an Intergovernmental Agreement may be
negotiated and executed.
Any lease between the TOG and the Lessee must indicate that the failure of a user to comply
with posted rules and regulations can result in loss of track use privileges and access to the
Covenant Property. The Lessee is responsible for educating users on proper use of the facility
and the need for compliance.
Telephone: No land line telephone service has been provided to the Covenant Property.
However, the Covenant Property is within cell phone range.
Emergency Management: Emergency access shall be considered in track planning and Trail
Gulch Road realignment design. The Lessee will incorporate access routes into track and facility
designs for law enforcement, fire, and EMS access. This includes designating ingress/egress
points and possibly a helicopter landing zone. Prior to the opening of any new track,
ingress/egress points and -routes must be reviewed and approved to ensure public safety. Major
modifications to existing tracks may also require review as determined by TOG or local
emergency services. This review may involve the TOG, Eagle County, Gypsum Fire Protection
District, Eagle County Paramedics, and Eagle County Sheriffs Office. Evacuation plans will be
posted on site and communicated to all users for EMS, fire, or other emergencies.
Lessee and/or TOG will maintain fire suppression equipment and a first aid kit located on site as
advised by agency responsible for fire response.
Environmental Issues: TOG and the Lessee will be responsible for remediation of any spills of
fuel, oil, lubricants or other liquids or materials. Eagle County bears no responsibility for
environmental concerns on the Covenant Property
Fuel storage is permitted on site and must comply with applicable local and state regulations.
Management Plan Amendments: Amendments to the Management Plan may be proposed by
the Management Advisory Committee, the TOG, or Eagle County and must be consistent with
the Restrictive Covenant. Amendments must be approved by TOG and Eagle County before
being
