I am copying James Batenhorst on this too, since we discussed some of this the other day in regards to the Midtown Business Park platting that we are working on. I did not find any written correspondence in the folder as I hoped, mentioning how much and where the limits of the greenway area would be, but I do recall the following from memory: In 2000, we surveyed the Creagor, Windham and a few other properties for the City to purchase for a new Business Park (Corporate Campus). This adjoined, but did not include any of the Ritchey property. By early 2002, we worked w.th the City staff (you?) to define a greenway reserve boundary, generally along the floodplain boundary. We staked the boundary of this within the CoCS tracts. Around 2004, CSU instigated the idea of purchasing an electrical substation site in the south corner of the Ritchey 300+ acre tract. We were hired to survey the 6.50 acre tract, with a stem for access from the City's recently-purchased adjoining tracts. We also surveyed an access easement along the existing driveway in Barron Park (now Christ UMC), so they would only need to build a short road to the substation. Negotiations with Mr. Ritchey (by Mark McAuliffe or someone else from the City) soon evolved into the agreement to purchase the entire floodplain area too, not just the 6.5 acre substation site. I guess this is when "greenway" started being used on some of our maps (see image pasted below). We then surveyed about 141 acres, using existing fences through the Ritchey tract. Soon, it was decided to cut back the area to 100 acres, and we determined that we could simply cut across the property between some existing property corners and have 100.64 acres. On the March 2005 survey, we show that approximately 74 acres of the 101 acres was in the lOOyr floodplain. When the Spring Creek Sub~tation pad and road was designed (by us), we had to put the access gate at its east corner due to topography, so the access road could not all be contained within the previously surveyed 6.5 acre tract originally designated. . In 2007, the City had us extend the greenway boundary along the floodplain through the 100.64 acre tract, stopping where the floodplain intersected the old 6.5 acre boundary. We also prepared exhibit maps for the City, to show how much land they had designated at Greenway and how much was available for the Business Park (278 .7ac). I can't recall exactly how it was decided, but we did not include a few acres of the land SE of the substation in the land designated for BP. (see attached 2007 exhibit map). 1 ' In 2015, CSU started constructing another aerial power transmission line from the substation to the BVSWMA tract. Tony Michalsky called me and said that he was told they had to get a survey to designate a corridor through the Greenway area of the CoCS property. He designed the width of 70' and I honored the 2002/2007 greenway boundary lines, but did not have a recorded document/description to cite. A "notice of utility .. on City property" for this area was filed in vol. 13216, pg. 14 (attached). .... :· .... : . ··· .. ..... I •· •: • •.

Also, if you have an official greenway designation document (i.e. ordinance) for the BP, please share it with us for reference in our legal descriptions. If there is not anything more official 2 .I. than the working drawings of the business park for the past 18 years, then I assume the City can move the greenway boundary as needed.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hey Henry, Hope you're doing well. I'm doing some research on past purchases of greenway property. The City purchased property from the Ritchey family and the final acreage purchased was 100.64. I have an exhibit/boundary survey for 140.44 acres but as mentioned we only purchased 100.64 . In the real estate contract, there is a legal description with metes and bounds dated April 27,2005 for the amount we actually purchased but not an exhibit. Could you check to see if an exhibit was ever created with the new boundary that we purchased? No need to create something just would like a copy of it if it exists. I've attached the document for reference. Thanks so much !

Along with the discussion of these major issues, staff will talk about the development process, distribute necessary information and discuss what permits will be required for your particular development. This meeting is in no way a complete review of your project. Staff will perform a formal, thorough review once the minimum requirements are submitted for your particular development.
