WILDLIFE MITIGATION PLAN <br />FOR <br />GRANBY RANCH, <br />GRANBY, COLORADO <br />JANUARY 17, 2007 <br />This Wildlife Mitigation Plan for Granby Ranch identifies potential development conflicts and <br />proposes commitments to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts resulting from the development. <br />Introduction <br />This Wildlife Mitigation Plan affects all property described in Exhibit A. <br />This Wildlife Mitigation Plan was developed in cooperation with CDOW to avoid, minimize, <br />and mitigate substantive wildlife impacts resulting from the present proposal associated with <br />development of the Granby Ranch lands, generally located in Granby, Colorado. <br />1. General wildlife field surveys were conducted to delineate important wildlife azeas and to <br />provide information to the land planners, who considered it in the Master Plan for Granby <br />Ranch. <br />2. The Granby Ranch Master plan accommodates some continued wildlife use within the <br />overall development in areas with limited development. These areas include but are not <br />limited to the designated Elk Conservation area, open space parcels between development <br />pods, new and existing wetland habitats, riparian corridors, and other areas that do not <br />preclude migration, and use by wildlife <br />3. Granby Ranch, its successors or assigns which might undertake some or all of the owner's <br />commitments, as delineated below, propose to commit to the following wildlife mitigation <br />measures. The CDOW recognizes that if this plan were implemented in good faith, the <br />measures herein committed to would adequately compensate for many wildlife impacts <br />associated with the proposed development. <br />Mitigation Measures <br />1. A seasonal closure for the Elk Conservation Area, restricting all recreational use (including, <br />but not limited to, residents, guests, employees, contractors, and the public), will be <br />established and enforced. The seasonal closure on this property would extend from <br />November 20 to May 15, dates inclusive, covering the fall and spring migration periods and <br />winter range occupancy. <br />JANUARY 17, 2007 1 WILDLIFE-FINAL-2 <br />
