However, the majority of the parcel is weedy and not particularly pristine. It has a diverse <br />wildlife habitat and has an active avian and migratory population, as it is adjacent to the <br />Hodgson -Harris Reservoir. This could be used by wildlife as a migration corridor and could <br />have a fairly high regional draw for passive use. <br />Smith Wildlife Survey: The survey describes this parcel as 94% weedy/disturbed and about <br />5% cattail marsh. Several types of small birds were observed primarily near the cattail marsh. <br />Also noted were prairie dogs and cottontail rabbits. <br />Status: Boulder County has no acquisition plans in this area; however, if Superior is able to <br />negotiate to purchase a portion of this property, Boulder County would consider partnering <br />with the Town if funding is available. <br />3. Bolejack Property <br />Location: The Bolejack Property lies west of McCaslin Blvd. and southeast of the Verhey <br />property. It encompasses approximately 25.5 acres in the southwestern portion of town. <br />Description: The primary uses of this property include private residential, horse pasture, and <br />an industrial equipment repair business. <br />OSAC Observations: Observations showed this parcel to have a fair buffering potential, good <br />views, and somewhat poor air and noise quality due to its proximity to McCaslin. Nighttime <br />light pollution is moderate. This parcel has no known historic value. It is a medium sized <br />tract with no mature trees. The parcel is primarily grass prairie so it is fairly pristine and a <br />somewhat diverse wildlife habitat. It may be being used by wildlife as a migration corridor <br />but probably would not have a very high regional draw. <br />Smith Wildlife Survey: found the property to be 83% grass prairie with the remainder being <br />buildings, weedy/disturbed ground, and a pond. Many species of small birds were observed <br />along with cottontail rabbits. <br />Status: Boulder County is willing to consider participating to purchase this property, <br />depending on price and terms, if funding is available. <br />27 <br />
