After a lengthy public hearing, the council approved the Alara Homes Willow Creek Cove planned-unit development, a mixed product of single-family-like units and duplexes on about 36 acres, contingent on opening the Willow Creek trail to the public and a traffic-impact study requirement for 5th West and 33rd North improvements.

Red Ledges representatives told the Heber City Council they intend to reduce approved units from 1,370 to 1,317, add roughly 120 acres to the development, and clarify standards for amenity building heights and public‑trail obligations; the council asked that parcel and timing language be tightened and that planning‑commission review follow.

County officials described the new 287‑acre Black Lake Preserve near Melrose, bought for $2.2 million through the Alachua County Forever program and the Wild Spaces Public Places surtax; staff emphasized habitat protection and public trails.

The Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners approved Cloud 10 Aspen LLC’s activity envelope, site plan and special review (including a growth management quota exemption) after extended discussion and conditions; approval included a dedication of a 50‑acre conservation easement and a public trail easement.

LCHIP plans to clear blocked culvert to prevent trail flooding caused by beaver dam.

County unanimously votes to abandon Jacobo Place following fee payment and minimal opposition.

City staff briefed the council on negotiations to secure development rights on the Lundeen property; the central dispute is whether the trail will allow broad public access or use restricted angler-style crossings. Staff said the city wants fenced buffers and gates so the trail remains open without exposing users to livestock; landowners prefer limited access. Council asked staff to revise language and return the agreement for approval.
