Today Kevin was out of the office on a series of meetings so
I continued doing research using the City of Durango Parks, Open Space, Trails
and Recreation Master Plan and the Durango Animas River Management Plan. In
these documents I focused on community input and community need. These forces
are what drive and guide the city when planning projects. Community input is a critical
piece of the entire process. It can be the initiator, if a community member brings
up an issue, it can shape the design, what the public wants out of the project
and it can expedite the project, based on how important the product will be. In
the case of Cameron/Sterk property more river access and put-ins and the
conservation of the ecosystems located by the river was needed and this was
voiced by the community. Then the public participated in creating the master
plan that dictates the framework for how development should advance and finally
community members are participating in the type of development that will occur
on that property.
Tomorrow I am going to
begin creating a diagram that shows the process the city goes through from
acquiring land to maintaining the final product. After the basic outline has
been made I am going begin applying it to the Cameron/Sterk property.
