Services took steps to
conflicts with prairie dogs on
privnte developmem sites.
Ciry CounciL has a~io~ted codc
thc bl<ack eailed prairie dog, a keyst~~ne
s~~ecies in the ~rairie krassland ecosystem. The Boul~ler Community
Hnspital project is an example uf how the ciry works with ~levelop-
ment t~~ sup~ort prairie ilc~~;s. As the plans came to~ethcr for the new
hospital at thc cunler of Arap~hoe R~iad and F~~~thills Parkway, Ciry
Planning and I~evclupmcnt staff workc~l with thc ~jcvclupcss ro
encoura~e reten[iun of existin~ prairie dug culc~nies c~n thc site.
Where it was ncccssary to remuve ~~rairie do~s f~r constructiun, O~en Space and
Mc~untain Parkti staff relocated the prairie du~s t~~ C~pen 5pace receivin~ sites ar
~ievel~per ex~ense. Habitat was preserve~l whem feasible and prairie dc~gs werc
protecte~ through rel~~cation where neeessary.
Plannin~ and I~evelopment Scrvices took broader steps to resulve ccmtlicts with
prairie do~s on private devclu~+m~nt sites by makiil~ chan~es to the LandLink com-
puter tracking system. N~~w staft~ can review certain sites fc~r d~e presence of prairie
c~ogs before issuing a building permit. Ma~ping of prairie dok locations in rhe ciry will
help creare response and enforcement pr~~t~col f~~r prairie dog cuncems, as well as
generate mailings tc~ lande~wners and ~icvrlc~~ers on prairie ~~~~g issiies and regulatiuns.
NORTH BOULDER RECREATION CENTER RENOVATION In August
