aka ranchette subdivisions What’s most troubling about ranchettes is that I want one I work as the communications director of the Western Landowners Alliance an organization dedicated to protecting and restoring whole and healthy working lands in the American West I love to think that if I could just get my hands on some of that land I could put my fancy words straight into practice My family could go to bed each night and wake up each morning surrounded by the beating heart of nature is quickly becoming ground zero for this type of development tens of thousands of people every year buy into this convenient myth of the real estate market — intending to become masters these mega-subdivisions are especially damaging to all of the values and that draw people to them in the first place “This form of land use fragments the agricultural land base Ranchettes also cause water and air quality problems increase greenhouse gas emissions and strain ever more taxed firefighting and public safety resources Even well-intentioned ranchette owners make damaging mistakes for wildlife A tidy late spring mowing of the six-acre “front lawn” to control weeds is actually a holocaust for hundreds of ground-nesting birds But most of the costs to wildlife are not decisions by individual homeowners but the cumulative effects of more and more people and our artifacts spread thinly Roads and power lines are obvious threats to wildlife More subtle threats include conflicts between wildlife and pets which ultimately lead to removal of the mountain lions and fragmentation of seasonal habitat that leads to diminished reproduction in ungulates and cascading effects on the food chain Counties already often have zoning rules that mandate minimum lot sizes of five that are intended to protect “rural character.” Increasing minimum lot sizes to the minimums required for viable agricultural operations and also removing anti-density regulations in town centers benefits both the towns (it’s cheaper to provide services to people close by and local businesses do better when people can walk to them) and the country (seasonal agricultural labor and consumers who want your products are nearby and wildlife has room to roam) With the right shared vision, perhaps there is a version of my dream that can still be achieved without creating a nightmare for wildlife and rural communities.

country See why over a million readers pay to read the Financial Times The Palm Beach County Commission gave final approval to the annual update of its five-year road plan Tuesday but without plans to pave Lyons Road through Palm Beach Ranchettes Lyons Road is the county’s designated reliever road for State Road 7 when it is eight lanes and over capacity Lyons Road currently does not go all the way through because a bridge has not been constructed to connect the portions of Lyons Road between Discovery Key Elementary School just north of Lake Worth Road and Stribling Way just south of Wellington’s Olympia neighborhood The missing stretch is known as Frontier Avenue in the Palm Beach Ranchettes community Area residents have been fighting the connection for at least two decades but what you have before you today is a recommended change by staff based on a public meeting we had at the Ranchettes community,” County Engineer George Webb told commissioners Webb said staff had recommended allocating some money in 2016 to pave the shellrock road portion through the Ranchettes “When we brought that up at the Ranchettes meeting the residents overwhelmingly said they were not interested,” he said and the county should just stay away and leave it alone.” Webb said county staff recommended removing the money that had been allocated for paving Lyons Road the residents had two other issues with the future Lyons Road,” Webb said “One of the issues is the right-of-way width that you have specified already in your comprehensive plan that has been there for about 15 years Ranchettes residents also questioned the three lanes proposed ultimately for Lyons Road “Staff has proposed a three-lane section with a two-way left turn in the middle,” Webb said “You have told us not to do anything as far as right-of-way acquisition until we bring that item back to you The lanes and the right-of-way width are not part of this board item.” Webb said he planned to bring a separate lane plan back to the commission in the first few months of 2014 for public discussion “The focus today is on Lyons Road within the Ranchettes,” Webb said “It was not well-received by the community so staff now is recommending that the board just go back to the status quo and not show any construction there.” Commissioner Steven Abrams asked whether the money could be moved to the roads of some of his constituents who wanted curbing but Webb said the money was from impact fees and had to be used for capacity improvements such as paving what is not currently a paved road or adding lanes the commission adopted a 100-foot right of way for Lyons Road from Lake Worth Road to Southern Blvd and that it currently has a 100-foot right of way everywhere except the Ranchettes Ranchettes resident Nick Rotenberger said that instead of three lanes He said information passed out to residents two years ago showed only an 80-foot right of way “The concern is that the residents don’t want the road going through,” he said “If it’s going to go through at some point in time out of our control it doesn’t need to be wider than it needs to be and that would take only 15 feet in front of my house Taking 25 feet is going to be devastating.” Rotenberger said that residents also were concerned that paving the road would make it easier for developers to pay for the bridge construction Ranchettes resident Dave Elder opposed the Lyons Road extension because he believed it would destroy the character of the neighborhood and I’m really opposed to the whole Lyons connection,” he said Elder added that he thought the comprehensive plan failed to consider the Ranchettes and that concerns about SR 7 should be resolved without affecting them “Everything else on Lyons are gated communities,” he said I don’t want that type of traffic… Wellington’s doing all the building Ranchettes property owner Andy Schaller said Lyons Road was never intended to go down Frontier Road and we’d like traffic calming,” Schaller said pointing out that the original plan called for roundabouts and/or speed bumps Commissioner Jess Santamaria said he believed it was his responsibility to protect the interests of residents no matter where they live and compared the issue before the commissioners to action they had taken a few weeks earlier to protect residents of the Westwood neighborhood several miles north by not approving an entrance to Pioneer Road from a planned commercial development we are faced with a similar situation here where Lyons Road would negatively impact the character and quality of life in the Ranchettes,” Santamaria said I do oppose any of the still-on-the-books plan for Lyons Road running through the middle of Ranchettes.” Santamaria said he was glad that staff had recommended holding off with paving plans for Lyons Road through the Ranchettes and hoped that staff could come up with an alternative road plan to relieve SR 7 traffic Webb said he planned to bring the actual road options to the commission later as a separate item He also stressed that the comprehensive plan states that they are not to think about connecting Lyons Road through the Ranchettes until SR 7 is eight lanes and over capacity and it is within a few thousand cars of being over capacity,” Webb said “There is development that is coming on line in that immediate area that will be adding cars in the next year or two on that roadway.” Webb noted that consideration could come as early as 2016 Santamaria said that the commission’s recent development approvals including the Wellington Medical Arts District at State Road 7 and Forest Hill Blvd. which required approval of a constrained roadway at a lower level of service (CRALLS) designation had only accelerated the time frame to need Lyons Road Abrams made a motion to approve the road program as amended by staff You rarely hear of stolen vehicles being recovered.. it's almost

The fire district on Saturday also confirmed that a GoFundMe account for the family had been set up About $1,100 had been raised as of Saturday afternoon Officials said earlier this week that the boy was "doing well in light of the circumstances." A mountain lion attacked the boy and bit his head on Wednesday night in the Burland Ranchettes subdivision of Bailey He was playing outside with his brother heard his friend next door calling But that movement may have triggered a nearby mountain lion to perceive the boy as prey The boy's brother ran inside the home for their father As the father approached the mountain lion CPW officers had captured two lions and euthanized them on Thursday and they believed one of the lions was involved in the attack on the boy The captured lions had killed a domestic goat on a property in Bailey After removing the mountain lions from the area officers received reports of three more lions on the same property Officers also received several trail-camera pictures of mountain lions in the area on the day of the attack CPW on Friday warned residents in the Burland Ranchettes area to stay vigilant for mountain lions but no active searches for the lions were underway The euthanized lions were about a year old and both weighed about 65 pounds and were in good condition Both lions had stomachs full of goat and they appeared to have been eating well They were sent to a lab in Wyoming for DNA analysis to confirm if they were involved in the attack 22 mountain lion attacks on humans have been recorded in Colorado Three people have been injured in mountain lion attacks so far this year in the state The first occurred in February at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space. A 31-year-old runner fought off a young mountain lion that stalked and attacked him in the park He killed the lion before running back down to the trailhead The second attack happened on Aug. 10 northeast of Kremmling.
