A Resolution Acknowledging Acceptance of a Donation of a 9,450 Square Foot Parcel Located at 0 Balsam Street from Development Management, Inc. to the City of Colorado Springs
Presenter:
Todd Frisbie, P.E., P.T.O.E, City Traffic Engineer, Public Works Department
Body
Summary:
Development Management, Inc. seeks to donate the 9,450 square foot parcel located at 0 Balsam, TSN 6313200007 (the “Property”), to the City of Colorado Springs. The Property is located adjacent to Fred McKown Park (see Exhibit A) and includes a trail that provides direct access to Scott Elementary School located southwest of the Property.
Background:
The area to the west of the Property was platted in Antelope Creek Subdivision Filing No. 1, however the Property was not included in the Plat, nor was it included when Development Management, Inc. conveyed the parcel known as Fred McKown Park to the City in June of 1999. The City would accept the donation of the Property in order to provide continued pedestrian access to Scott Elementary School and to Fred McKown Park.
This item supports the City’s strategic goal of investing in infrastructure.

Financial Implications:
