DEC16961. Page 3 <br /> Is there alternative to updating SCRF that would get us to the same place? Best way - update <br /> Refinement plan. <br /> Initiate amendment to R.P. rather than updating entire plan? - Brainstorming more creative ways to <br /> address situation. <br /> ACQUISITION <br /> Steve's ideas on BLM acquisition priorities were used as the starting point for discussion with Jock taking <br /> the lead. The wetheads supported the following priorities, with the guidelines to use the Plan and be <br /> opportunistic. <br /> a. Complete key in- fills, including: <br /> Cuddeback (good to revisit) <br /> Speedway /Coyote Creek (Some answers to this should be forthcoming in next couple of months dealing with <br /> the Plan amendments) <br /> Vinci (on- going) <br /> A3a (Cone) (no activity) <br /> A5 (high priority) <br /> Grosbeck (B6) [work with city on this one re:1135 project] <br /> McCulloch (B8 vicinity) (thinks it has been sold) <br /> Rexius (II & 12 - BLM reluctant to buy, will work with Rexius on conservation easement. Neil says the time <br /> is now since the eastern half of I2 has been redelineated. High priority.) <br /> C6F (contiguous to Nolan. BLM now interested in buying. Will proceed. Also will initiate talks with <br /> landowner north of Nolan, possibly joint acquisition with ODOT) <br /> Complete partnership land realignment <br /> City View /Oakpatch (Does it make sense for TNC to be negotiator? Need to talk to Ross Pinto about it. <br /> Alternative is for city to rely on their acquisition person. Revisit this issue. City has room to negotiate.) <br /> Bertelsen Associates property at 18th and Bertelsen (asking price is above fair market value) <br /> BLM has started appraisal process on Ross property. Adjacent hazmat site may still be an issue. <br /> b. Purchase stream protection in Willow Creek basin <br /> High priority. Instead of outright acquisition, will pursue buying development rights, perpetual easement. <br /> Jock suggested that they look to Ed for ideas and for making contacts. Deborah said that the draft <br /> characterization report may also help in identifying priorities. <br /> c. Purchase land/easements for Amazon Greenway (Royal to Hansen) (several possibilities; lower <br /> priority for LWCF funds, but will keep options open) <br /> d. Purchase at least one or two large rural tracts (100+ parcels for 250 -400 total acres for large scale <br /> restoration) (will close on Taylor Ramseys in January) <br /> e. Work on upland connections (Oak Hill, upper Willow Creek ridgeline) (possibility of conservation <br /> easements? Look into this.) <br /> TNC Acquisition plans: Have 325 acres now - looking at future acquisition on parcel by parcel basis - small <br /> parcels around current ownership, plus a donation in 1 to 4 years ( ?). Need to reexamine site design again. <br />
