Developer’s dream: Peek inside Robinson Ranch’s roughly 7,000 acres
The Robinsons are patient — and extremely picky.
Who knows how much, if any, of their ranch in North Austin will ultimately be offered to developers. Several years ago, when Apple Inc. bought and built its campus across the street, it did little to spur the ranching family to cash in on the clamor.
But since they’re talking to developers around the world now about what could be built there — get that exclusive ABJ report here if you missed it — we thought readers would like to see the ranch…

Boulder is considering purchasing historic, 110-acre Poor Farm property for $5.2 million
The Boulder City Council soon will vote on whether to approve, for $5.2 million, the purchase of the historic, 110-acre Boulder County Poor Farm property on 63rd Street.
If approved, the land would be folded into the city’s 45,000-acre Open Space and Mountain Parks division, and likely would serve a mix of agricultural and public recreational purposes in the future.
Only seven times in Boulder history has the city spent more than $5.2 million on an open space buy.

Mountain snowpack shrinks to 66 percent of normal, feds sound drought alarm
Colorado’s shrinking mountain snowpack — at 66 percent of normal statewide Thursday — forced an expanded federal drought designation covering nearly a quarter of the state with stream flows forecast at half of average, setting off a scramble to secure water supplies.
The scarcity spurred calls for storing more water in reservoirs to sustain the state’s growth boom.
“There’s going to be people without water,” especially in Southern Colorado, U.S. Department of Agriculture snow survey supervisor Brian Domonkos said. “It’s going to be a tight year.”
Denver Water officials planned to pull more of the H2O they deliver to 1.4 million metro residents from northern mountains because the upper South Platte River basin snowpack they rely on remains low. They’re seeking federal approval to expand storage by 77,000 acre-feet in Gross Reservoir west of Boulder, a controversial project.
State agencies, including Gov. John Hickenlooper’s staffers, have been monitoring drought impacts and weighing..

public plaza near Calvary Church in Golden might look like.A local church plans to fund and build a public plaza and parking garage in downtown Golden.
Congregants and staff members of Calvary Church propose transforming vacant land adjacent to the church between 13th and 14th streets along Arapahoe Street near Miners Alley into a community-centric space.
“The current street and sidewalk area will become a multi-purpose open space with terraced gardens, stairs and ADA compliant ramps, while the surface parking lots will be converted to a two level parking structure,” according to a site overview released by Calvary Church.
Senior pastor Tim Phenna said he hopes the plaza will provide Golden residents and visitors a place to connect. If approved, downtown Golden will gain about 20,000 square feet of outdoor space to be used for parking, markets, casual lunches, church services, weddings and, potentially, summer ..
