Elmer Crider, 9355 Paradise Drive, Broomfield, Colorado, stated that John Morrison, previous owner of this property, had told him that City representatives had told him that it would all be open space, not developed. He asked Council to leave the land as open space. He pointed out that it lies between the City and the hospital and the new school will be adjacent to it, being an asset to biology classes, nature hikes, and studies, with bald eagles in the cottonwood trees. He asked Council not to deceive or defraud Mr. Morrison who sold the land in good faith with the understanding that it would remain as open space. Davidson pointed out that the County bought the land, so the property owner negotiated with the County. The City had no way of knowing what representations were made. The City bought the land from the County. Davidson called for Council comments or motions. 2
