10. Residents shall be prohibited from using a compost pile if the development has a community <br />garden unless the compost pile is bear-proof, meeting North American Beaz Society, CDOW, <br />or U.S. National Park Service specifications. Residents will also be educated that household <br />and garden waste contributions to compost piles compose the materials that can attract beazs <br />and create problems. Yard compost waste consisting of leaves, grass, small branches, etc. do <br />not usually attract bears. <br />11. The outside feeding of pets is prohibited, Such feeding could attract bears, nuisance wildlife <br />(e.g., skunks and raccoons), and the predators (e.g., coyotes and mountain lions) that feed on <br />these species. <br />12. With the exception of bird feeders, the feeding, baiting, salting, or other means of attracting <br />wildlife is prohibited. <br />13. All residents and perspective residents will receive a copy of the CDOW's brochure entitled <br />"Living With Wildlife In Bear Country." The bear brochure is also available on the CDOW's <br />website: <br />www.dnrstate.co.us/wildlife/Education/coexisting_with_wildlife/htm. <br />14. Mountain lions are occasionally present year-round in local habitats, but may be more <br />common from fall through spring when large numbers of deer and elk (prey species) are <br />wintering and fawningf calving at lower elevations. In other areas of Colorado, where <br />developments have encroached on mountain lion habitat containing high concentrations of <br />prey species, encounters between lions, humans, and their pets and livestock have increased. <br />15. Because the residential development is in the vicinity of mountain lion habitat, the following <br />precautionary measures should be implemented to minimize potential lion-human conflicts: <br />a. All residents and perspective residents will receive a copy of the CDOW's brochure <br />entitled "Living With Wildlife In Mountain Lion Country". The lion brochure is also <br />available on the CDOW's website: <br />www.dnr. state.co.us/wildlife/Education/coexisting_with_wildlife/htm. <br />b. With the exception of bird feeders, the feeding, baiting, salting, or other means of <br />attracting wildlife to the site is prohibited. <br />c. The outside feeding of pets is prohibited. Bowls of pet food ]eft outside can attract <br />bears, nuisance wildlife (e.g., skunks), other predators (e.g., coyotes), and prey <br />species (e,g., raccoons) that could, in turn, attract other predators (e.g., mountain <br />lions). <br />d. Some adult supervision of children playing outside is prudent. Although only <br />precautionary, it would be best if such children were inside before dusk and not <br />outside before dawn, when any local lions may be more active. <br />JANUARY 17, 2007 4 <br />
