Commissioners postpone Tract K decision
EAGLE – The county commis-sioners postponed a local devel-oper’s plan for 16 affordable town-homes near Homestead, saying they want to walk the property before they decide.
Rick Mueller’s Remonov & Co. is asking the county commission-ers to rezone 1.38 acres so Habitat for Humanity can build 16 afford-able townhomes.
More than five dozen people flocked to Tuesday’s hearing, speaking passionately both for and against the plan.
Opponents presented two peti-tions with hundreds of signatures. They said that while they believe in Habitat’s mission, the Home-stead neighborhood is not the place for it.
Rick Pylman handled the pre-sentation for Remonov, pointing out that it’s the perfect place.
He spoke to the misinformation being circulated by opponents.
The parcel is not associated with the Wolcott project, and it’s not open space.
“It’s a unique opportunity to take a piece of property and pro-vide a tremendous public benefit,” Pylman said. “You can walk to jobs, walk to schools, and it’s 850 feet from a bus stop. It’s a great location for infill development.”
Habitat is also the only devel-oper that can help people whose incomes are between 35 and 65 percent of the average local in-come, Pylman said.
Bobby Warner developed Homestead and spoke against it.
“Habitat is a great organization
nationally, and I have supported it locally over the years,” Warner said.
He pointed out that afford-able housing will be an issue for decades to come, but that Habitat projects should have local support.
“This one does not,” Warner said.
“This is not a Habitat versus Homestead issue. This is a land use issue,” said Dale Nelson, an Edwards resident.
He said his home backs up to the Homestead L, which went under conservation easement last year, and that he is, “very happy
about that.” Eagle County taxpayers paid
$3.2 million for those 160 acres. Directly across Highway 6 from Homestead, county taxpayers and private donors spent $12 mil-lion for the 72-acre Eagle River Preserve.

$10.Eagle-Vail also has a popular par-
three course, which should only take 90 minutes or so to play.
The biggest change may be at
Gypsum, where course managers have switched the course around, meaning last year’s front nine is now the back nine. That course restaurant is also open.
“People seem to like saving the up-per holes for last,” Buzbee said.
As the holiday weekend crowds
fade, course managers in the valley say there’s plenty of golfing available, and often at handy times.
Buzbee said he’s enjoyed seeing visi-tors and residents playing together at Gypsum Creek.
“I think it’s great for the commu-nity,” he said.
Smyser named as finalist for the 2013 Superintendent of the Year
EAGLE — Former Eagle County Schools superintendent Sandra Smyser is a finalist for the
2013 National Superintendent of the Year, the National Association of School
Superintendents announced.Smyser was chosen as Colorado’s
Superintendent of the Year when she headed Eagle County Schools. She left in June to lead the Poudre School District in Fort Collins.
Selection Panel chairperson Patricia Beaver said Smyser has focused on three areas:
■ Closing the achievement gap ■ Teacher and principal professional
development and evaluation systems
■ Designing curriculum around the new state standards.
Eagle County Schools is in its 11th year of a performance pay pro-gram with bonuses tied to student achievement.
Finalists for the award also included James Capolupo, superintendent of the Springfield School District in Springfield, Pa.; Sonny Da Marto, superintendent of the Turlock Unified School District in Turlock, Calif.; Brett Stanton, superintendent of Haralson County Schools in Tallapoosa, Ga.; and Don Haddad, superintendent of the St. Vrain Valley School District in Longmont.
“There is not one simple fix for edu-cation. The real answer is leveraging the collective know-how of stellar dis-trict superintendents like Dr. Smyser,” said Theresa Daem, executive director
of the national association.

Loraine Davis is on
Habitat’s family selection committee. She pointed out that among their Habitat partner families are a high school wrestling coach, cer-tified nursing assistants and
county employees.“The mark of a vibrant
community is one that takes care of its own. We are taking care of our own. We are not importing these
families,” Davis said.
