41.35 Acres Residential Development Land with Great Hunting 

The Old High School Parcel is 41.35 acres and is located on the east side of Battlement Mesa Parkway. In 2008, the Parcel was re-zoned to Medium Density Residential, which allows a maximum density of 12 dwelling units per gross acre. The slope for the majority of the site is between 5 and 10%, with the slope increas- ing towards the eastern edge of the parcel’s boundary. The land planners and engineers took advantage of the flatter land closest to Battlement Parkway for multi-family townhomes, and transitioned it into a core of smaller single family lots to larger single family lots on the periphery of the parcel. The maximum gross density for this parcel is 496 units. The proposed concept plan proposes 221 units. The water tank in the southeastern corner of the parcel will be used to serve the new parcels in the core area and up to the 5616 contour line on the Old High School parcel. The remainder of the lots in this parcel will need an expansion of the Battlement Mesa water system in cooperation with the Battlement Mesa Metropolitan District to provide enough water pressure. This entails providing an additional water tank to be located higher up and further eats of this parcel. The additional water tank has always been contemplated for the overall Battlement Mesa water system master plan
