Description of the Project The project is intended to serve as a community recreation center for the residents of the Mid- Roaring Fork Valley and the Crown Mountain Park & Recreation District, and will be located at Crown Mountain Park. The park is a 124-acre parcel located in El Jebel, Colorado, approximately 7 miles east of Carbondale, Colorado, and 5 miles west of Basalt, Colorado. The park is located on Valley Road just south of Highway 82.
The Crown Mountain Park & Recreation District (CMPRD) was created in 2000-2001. The formation of the District, bond and property tax questions to fund the development and maintenance of the park s playing fields, restroom pavilion, trails, etc., were approved by voters in 2002. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) specifying the details of park development was approved in 2004. Since then, the CMPRD has concentrated its efforts on building-out park infrastructure and developing recreational programming. In 2012 Eagle County approved an amendment to the PUD that incorporated additional County property into the lease and described future development of the park. Approved uses include a recreation center, indoor ice & tennis facilities, and various other improvements, subject to voter-approved funding and site-specific design review. As part of the PUD Amendment process, the CMPRD identified a location, came up with a conceptual design for a 63,100 SF community recreation center - with a total project cost of $25 million - based on input from user groups, public open house meetings & work sessions, and surveys. The recreation center will include a natatorium / aquatics components, multi-purpose gymnasium, gymnastics/zero gravity area, cardio & weight training area, (2) group fitness rooms, walk/jog track, community meeting rooms, birthday party room, administrative space, and other components that may be identified through further public input. For additional information on the conceptual design, please refer to the CMPRD s website: www.crownmtn.org/rec-center/, and by clicking the Click here for more information on the New Design. The Community Recreation Center is consistent with PUD Amendment, and with the various conditions to the PUD Approval. The CMPRD will be asking for approval from the voters on November 5, 2013. The CMPRD will utilized the Construction Manager at Risk (CM/GC) project delivery method, and anticipate issuing an RFQ/P on Friday, November 8, 2013. IV.
