Daley Ranch

[Orvan]

Just so you know, Daley Ranch was in the Escondido City Council agenda last night and that council voted 4-1 to get more public input on what to do with the ranch for its future use.

Word around the campfire (ok, from developers), that the park (city owned) will ultimately be used as a mitigation bank with credits for developers to buy into for their projects in the City. This is a good thing since the land will be preserved undeveloped but may be a bad thing since it will ultimately be managed by conservancy group/s which may or may not allow access/use of the park/conservation easement.

Just some bike-related stuff I picked up from a developer's meeting this morning. -bah!

Interesting....well, if you hear of any public hearings or addresses where they want people to send their input, let us know.

Thanks for the info!

I'll see if i can get more info. My pops works for the Corps of Engineers - Regulatory branch.......basically he deals w/ permiting land for certain usages (grading, filling, constructing, etc). In turn he deals w/ mitigation banks & such. I'm not sure if Daley Ranch is in his area, but i'm sure he might know, or can find out something about it. As far as permitting usage for mtbers....he wouldn't have any idea about that issue

Please email any pertinant info regarding Daley Ranch to minette@sdmba.com. To keep Daley Ranch open please volunteer for some trail work, park officials listen to those user groups that put in the most work, Penasquitos and Elfin Forest are 2 great examples.
