Resignation
To : The Englewood City Council
Copy to the members of the Water and Sewer Board.
For personal reasons I am resigning from the Water and Sewer Board effective immediately.
There should be ample time to appoint a replacement before the next board meeting.
It seems to me that 50 years of service to a community should be enough.
Thank you all!!!

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
Intergovernmental Agreement with
August 3, 2015 11 a i UDFCD for Flood Study in North
Englewood
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Department of Public Works Dave Henderson, Deputy Public Works Director
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Staff discussed the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement at the July 13th and July 20th Study
Sessions.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends Council approve a Bill for an Ordinance to enter into an Agreement with the
Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) for Drainageway Master Planning and Flood
Hazard Area Delineation (FHAD) in North Englewood. The total estimated cost is $10,000.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Dry Gulch, in NE Englewood, is a tributary to Harvard Gulch. The area along Dry Gulch has been
identified as an area of probable flooding in studies performed in 1971 and 1999. Rainstorms have
• caused flooding of private property in some of the areas identified in the previous studies.
•
UDFCD has previously engaged with the City and County of Denver in an "Agreement Regarding
Funding of Major Drainageway Planning and Flood Hazard Area Delineation for Harvard Gulch".
This study began in January, 2015 and is expected to be complete by the end of 2015. Matrix
Design was selected by UDFCD as the consultant for this project.
Subsequent to recent reports of property damage in Englewood from recent rainstorms and
property owner requests to help mitigate damage, staff contacted UDFCD to see if we could join
the study. UDFCD responded positively, however the time frame is short for us to participate as
their study is already underway. Joining the larger study now will require a much smaller
contribution than an independent study.
The project will define the FHAD for Dry Gulch and develop a master plan, with cost estimates, to
mitigate or eliminate flooding of Dry Gulch. Property owners will be notified and invited to a public
meeting during the study. UDFCD will not submit the FHAD to FEMA without written authorization
from the City of Englewood. Defining the FHAD without submitting it to FEMA will eliminate the
mandatory flood plain insurance for property owners. City Floodplain Regulations and Building
Codes will require properties located within the 100 year floodplain, as defined in the FHAD, to
submit a "Floodplain Development Permit" application. A few highlights of the existing Floodplain
Regulations are:
• A Floodplain Development Permit has to be obtained before a building permit can be issued or
before construction or development begins on land within a special hazard area .
• A Floodplain Development Permit is required prior to beginning any construction or other
development to ensure conformance with the Floodplain Regulations.
• One of the purposes of the Floodplain Regulations is to prevent or regulate the construction of
flood barriers, including fences, which may unnaturally divert flood waters or which may
increase flood hazards to other areas.
• Substantial repairs, improvements, or alterations to structures have to meet the minimum flood
proofing criteria and elevation criteria in the regulations.
• As part of the Floodplain Development Permit the applicant has to show that the lowest floor,
including the basement, of any structure to be built, reconstructed, or moved within a special
flood hazard area will be constructed at or above a point one foot {1 '} above the 100-year flood
elevation for that particular area.
• All new construction and substantial improvements must be anchored to prevent flotation,
collapse, or lateral movement of the structure and to withstand hydrodynamic loads.
• Once construction is complete, the applicant must provide certification by a registered
Colorado professional engineer that the finished fill and building floor elevations, flood proofing
measures, or other protection factors were done in compliance with the Floodplain Regulations
(Floodplain Certificate of Compliance).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Englewood's portion is estimated not to exceed $10,000.
The total study cost estimate is $210,000 with the City of Denver contributing $100,000 and Urban
Drainage contributing $100,000.
Funding for Englewood's portion is available in the Storm Water Utility Fund .

16-4-1: Authority and Purpose.
A. Statutory Authority. The legislature of the State has in Title 29, Article 20 C.R.S., as amended,
delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the
public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry by minimizing flood losses .
• B .
1.
Findings of Fact.
The flood hazard areas of the City are subject to periodic inundation which can result in loss of
life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services,
extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base,
all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare.
2. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in special flood hazard areas
that cause an increase in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy of flood hazard areas
by uses vulnerable to floods and hazardous to other lands because they are inadequately
anchored, elevated, floodproofed or otherwise protected from flood damage.
C . Purpose. It is the purpose of this Chapter to promote the public health, safety and general welfare,
and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed
to:
1. Protect human life and health;
2. Protect property and minimize damage to critical facilities infrastructure and other public
facilities such as water, sewer, and gas mains; electrical and communications stations; and
streets and bridges located in floodplains;
3. Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
4. Protect the natural areas required to convey flood flows so that they develop m a manner
consistent with reasonable floodplain management;
*Editor's note-Ord. 10-44, § 1, adopted Nov. 1, 2010, amended Ch. 4 in its entirety and enacted the provisions set out herein .

UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE 16-4-2
Protect and preserve the water-carrying characteristics and capacities of all watercours-
including gulches, sloughs, and artificial water channels used for the conveyance of storm and
floodwater;
Minimize the need for r escue and relie f efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken
at the expense of the general public;
Minimize prolonge d business interruptions;
Help maintain a ~table tax base b_y vrovidiug fu1 Lht: ~ound wie and develuvment of flood proue
areas to-..minimize future flood blight areas; and
Insure that potential buyers are notified that property is in a flood hazard area.
D. Methods of Reducing Flood Losses. In order to accomplish its purposes, this Chapter uses the
following methods:
1. Restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety or property in times of flood , or
cause excessive increases in flood heights or velocities;
2. Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected
against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
3. Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers,
which are involved in the accommodation of floodwaters;
4 . Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase flood damage;~
5. Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers, including fences and walls, which will
unnaturally divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards to other lands .
(Ord. 10-44, § l; Ord. 8-13, § 6)
16-4-2: Jurisdiction and Applicability.
A. Applicability. The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to all land within the City defined as:
1. The special flood hazard areas identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in a
scientific and engineering report entitled "Flood Insurance Study -Arapahoe County, Colorado,
and Incorporated Areas" dated December 17, 2010, with accompanying Flood Insurance Rate
Maps and Flood Boundary-Floodway Maps (FIRM and FBFM) and any revisions thereto, and
2. The boundaries of the West Harvard Gulch Flood Hazard Area as shown on Sheets 13 and 14 in
a report entitled "Flood Hazard Area Delineation, Harvard Gulch, West Harvard Gulch, and Dry
Gulch" dated December 1979, prepared by Gingery Associates, Inc., and approved by the
Colorado Water Conservation Board on January 30, 1980 .
The above Official Flood Studies are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this
Title.
B . Basis for Establishing Special Flood Hazard Areas. The City hereby establishes floodplains and
floodways whose boundaries are those of the designated 100-year floodplain, special flood hazard areas
and the designated floodways as are shown or tabulated in the Flood Insurance Study for the City of
Englewood. •
Supp. No. 38 CD16:61
16-4-2 ENGLEWOOD l\!IUNICIPAL CODE 16-4 -3
• C. Compliance. No structure or land located in a spe cial flood hazard area shall hereafter be
constructed, located , extended, converted, altered or have its use changed without full compliance with
the terms of this Chapter and all other applicable regulations. These regulations meet the minimum
requirements set forth by the Colorado Water Conservation Board and the National Flood Insurance
Program.
1. Floodplain Development Permit. A Floodplain Development Permit shall be required prior to
commencement of any construction or other development to ensure conformance with the
provisions of this Chapter.
2. Certificate of Compliance .
a. No vacant land shall be occupied or used and no building shall be hereafter erected , altered,
or moved on the floodplains of any watercourse, nor shall such buildings be occupied, until
a certificate of compliance has been issued by the Floodplain Administrator.
b . The applicant shall submit a certification by a registered Colorado professional engineer to
the Floodplain Administrator that the finished fill and building floor elevations, floodproof-
ing measures, or other protection factors were accomplished in compliance with the
provisions of this Chapter. This certification shall also state whether or not the structure
contains a basement. Within ten (10) days after receipt of such certification from the
applicant, the Floodplain Administrator shall issue a certificate of compliance only if the
building or premises and the proposed use thereof, conform with all of the requirements of
this Chapter.
D. Abrogation and Greater Restrictions. The regulations of this Chapter shall be construed as being
•
pplementary to the regulations imposed on the same lands by the underlying zone classification . This
apter is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easement, covenants, or deed
restrictions. However, where this Chapter and other ordinance, easement, covenant, or deed restriction
conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall apply.
E. Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this Chapter shall be held
to be minimum requirements, shall be liberally construed in favor of the City, and shall be deemed
neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under State Statutes .
F. Warning and Disclaimer of Liability. The degree of flood protection intended to be provided by this
Chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and scientific
considerations. Larger floods may occur on occasions, or the flood height may be increased by man-made
or natural causes, such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. This Chapter does not imply
that the areas outside of special flood hazard areas or land uses permitted within such areas will always
be free from flooding or flood damages . This Chapter shall not create liability on the part of the City or
any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Chapter or any
administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
G . Severability. See Section 16-1-10 EMC , (Severability).
(Ord. 10-44, § 1; Ord . 8-13, § 6)

Standards for Critical Facilities. A Critical Facility is a structure or related infrastructure, but
not the land on which it is situated, as specified in Rule 6 of the Rules and Regulations for
Regulatory Floodplains in Colorado, that if flooded may result in significant hazards to public
health and safety or interrupt essential services and operations for the community at any time
before, during and after a flood .
1. Classification of Critical Facilitie s. It is the responsibility of the City to identify and confirm
that specific structures in the community meet the following criteria.
Critical Facilities are classifiecl under the following categories: (a) Essential Services; (bJ
Hazardous Materials; (c) At-risk Populations; and (d) Vital to Restoring Normal Services.
a . Essential services facilities include public safety, emergency response , emergency
medical, designated emergency shelters, communications , public utility plant facili-
ties, and transportation lifelines. These facilities consist of:
(1) Public safety (police stations, fire and rescue stations, emergency vehicle and
equipment storage, and emergency operation centers);
(2) Emergency medical (hospitals, ambulance service centers, urgent care centers
having emergency treatment functions, and non-ambulatory surgical structures
but excluding clinics, doctors' offices, and non-urgent care medical structures that
do not provide these functions);
(3) Designated emergency shelters ;
(4) Communications (main hubs for telephone, broadcasting equipment for cable
systems, satellite dish systems , cellular systems, television, radio, and other
emergency warning systems, but excluding towers, poles, lines, cables, and
conduit);
(5) Public utility plant facilities for generation and distribution (hubs, treatment
plants, substations and pumping stations for water, power and gas, but not
including towers, poles, power lines, buried pipelines, transmission lines, distri-
bution lines, and service lines); and
(6 ) Air Transportation lifelines (airports, municipal and larger), helicopter pads and
structures serving emergency functions, and associated infrastructure (aviation
control towers, air traffic control centers, and emergency equipment aircraft
hangars).
(7) Exemptions .
(a) Specific exemptions to this category include wastewater treatment plants
(WWTP), non-potable water treatment and distribution systems, and hy-
droelectric power generating plants and related appurtenances.
(b) Public utility plant facilities may be exempted if it can be demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the City that the facility is an element of a redundant
system for which service will not be interrupted during a flood. At a
minimum, it shall be demonstrated that redundant facilities are available
(either owned by the same utility or available through an intergovernmental
agreement or other contract) and connected, the alternative facilities are
either located outside of the 100-year floodplain or are compliant with the
provisions of this Section, and an op erations plan is in effect that states how
redundant systems will provide service to the affected area in the event of a
flood . Evidence of ongoing redundancy shall be provided to the City on an
as-needed basis upon request .

( c) Refineries;
(dJ Hazardous waste storage and disposal sites; and
(e) Above ground gasoline or propane storage or sales centers .
Facilities shall be determined to be Critical Facilities if they produce or store
materials in excess of threshold limits. If the owner of a facility is required by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to keep a Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on file for any chemicals stored or used in the work
place , and the chemical(s) is stored in quantities equal to or greater than the
Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ) for that chemical, then that facility shall be
considered to be a Critical Facility. The TPQ for these chemicals is: either five
hundred (500) pounds or the TPQ listed (whichever is lower) for the three
hundred fifty-six (356) chemicals listed under 40 C.F.R. § 302 (2010) also known
as Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSJ; or ten thousand (10,000) pounds for
any other chemical. This threshold is consistent with the requirements for
reportable chemicals established by the Colorado Department of Health and
Environment. OSHA requirements for MSDS can be found in 29 C.F.R. § 19 .
(2010). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation "Designatio
Reportable Quantities, and Notification ." 40 C .F .R. § 302 (2010) and OSHA
regulation "Occupational Safety and Health Standards.) 29 C.F.R. § 1910 (2010)
are incorporated herein by reference and include the regulations in existence at
the time of the promulgation of this ordinance, but exclude later amendments to
or editions of the regulations .
Specific exemptions to this category include:
(a) Finished consumer products within retail centers and households contain-
ing hazardous materials intended for household use and agricultural
products intended for agricultural use.
(b) Buildings and other structures containing hazardous materials for which it
can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the local authority having
jurisdiction, by hazard assessment and certification by a qualified profes-
sional (as determined by the local jurisdiction having land use authority),
that a release of the subject hazardous material does not pose a major threat
to the public.
(c) Pharmaceutical sales , use, storage, and distribution centers that do not
manufacture pharmaceutical products.
These exemptions shall not apply to buildings or other structures that also
function as Critical Facilities under another category outlined in this Section.
c. At-risk population facilities include medical care, congregate care, and schools.
(1) These facilities consist of
(a) Elder care (nursing homes); • CD16:73

(b) Congregate care serving twelve (12) or more individuals (day care and
assisted living);
(c) Public and private schools (preschools, K-12 schools), before-school and
after-school care serving twelve (12) or more children);
d. Facilities vital to restoring normal services including government operations.
( 1 l These facilities consist of-
(a) Essential government operations (public records, courts, jails, building
permitting and inspection services, community administration and manage-
ment, maintenance and equipment centers);
(b) Essential structures for public colleges and universities (dormitories, offices,
and classrooms only).
These facilities may be exempted if it is demonstrated to the City that the facility
is an element of a redundant system for which service will not be interrupted
during a flood. At a minimum, it shall be demonstrated that redundant facilities
are available (either owned by the same entity or available through an intergov-
ernmental agreement or other contract), the alternative facilities are either
located outside of the 100-year floodplain or are compliant with this ordinance,
and an operations plan is in effect that states how redundant facilities will
provide service to the affected area in the event of a flood. Evidence of ongoing
redundancy shall be provided to the City on an as-needed basis upon request.
(2) Protection for Critical Facilities. All new and substantially improved Critical
Facilities and new additions to Critical Facilities located within the special flood
hazard area shall be regulated to a higher standard than structures not
determined to be Critical Facilities . For the purposes of this ordinance, protection
shall include one (1) of the following:
(a) Location outside the special flood hazard area; or
(b) Elevation of the lowest floor or floodproofing of the structure, together with
attendant utility and sanitary facilities, to at least two feet (2') above the
Base Flood Elevation.

facilities, shall be so designed that below the base flood level, the structure is watertight with walls
substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability
of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy. The Floodplain Administrator
shall require that the applicant submit a plan or document certified by a registered Colorado professional
engineer that the floodproofing measures are consistent with the flood protection elevation for the
particular area.
B. Floodproofing measures include the following: • 1. Anchorage to resist flotation and lateral movement.
2. Installation of watertight doors, bulkheads and shutters.
3 . Reinforcement of walls to resist water pressures.
4. Use of waterproof paints, membranes, or mortars to reduce seepage of water through walls.

C. Variances. • 1. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted to build the lowest floor elevation below the base
flood elevation shall be given written notice that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate
with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
2. Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a
lot of one-half (1hJ acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing
structures constructed below the base flood level, providing the relevant items 1-11 in
Subsection 16-4-6(B)(2)(dl EMC have heen folly c.onsidered. As the lot size increases beyond
one-half (lh) acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases.
3. Variances shall not be issued within any designated flood way if any increase in flood levels during
the base flood discharge would result.
4. Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures upon a determi-
nation that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure's continued
designation as a historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the
historic character and design of the structure.
5. In passing upon a Floodplain Variance application, the Commission shall consider all technical
evaluations, all relevant factors, and standards specified in other sections of this Title.
6 . Criteria for Considering a Floodplain Variance. The Commission shall grant a Floodplain
Variance only upon a showing of good and sufficient cause and determination that:
a .
b.
c.
The variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief;
Failure to grant the Floodplain Variance would result in exceptional hardship to the
applicant; and •
The granting of a Floodplain Variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional
threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or
victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws .
7 . Upon consideration of the above and the intent of this Chapter, the Commission may attach such
conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purpose and
objectives of this Chapter.

The mission is to construct the key components of RiverRun Trail head creating an attractive new venue
on the east bank of the South Platte River at W. Oxford Avenue. The specific improvements include: a
large covered pavilion, an outdoor plaza, gathering spaces, picnic tables, seating areas, a restroom and
landscaping. This work is the second phase of transforming a fallow site into a recreational green space .
(Phase I, funded under the Winter 2015 ACOS Standard Grant, included grading and utility work .)

APPLICANT: City of Englewood
PROJECT TITLE: RiverRun Trailhead Phase II
The project emphasizes significant landscape reshaping to better orient the site to the water creating
vibrant new river-focused green spaces. In addition to river access, the improvements will
accommodate medium to large groups in the pavilion such as company picnics .
Ultimately, this new park will be part of a larger 8-acre riverfront destination with whitewater
features and other riverbank enhancements. The improvements, funded herein, will be a focal point
and will serve over 100,000 local residents of diverse incomes and ages in need of outdoor spaces,
particularly with water features . Many more regionally will benefit as well as this new park will be a
key entry point to the Mary Carter Greenway. The overall goal is to transform a long-neglected reach
of the river into a major, attractive, water-oriented destination .
In conjunction with, though not part of this grant, the partners will construct a major water
recreation venue in the river with a beach and whitewater chutes that can accommodate rafters,
kayakers, tubers and waders along with seat walls, overlooks, a nature-themed playground,
additional landscaping and parking . Work on all of the above items is scheduled to occur over the
next 12-18 months with a grand opening anticipated in fall of 2016.
This project is also the centerpiece and catalytic step in a larger, 2-mile-long, 250-plus acre river-
oriented "Central Park" serving the South Metro Area with green spaces, river habitat enhancement,
natural areas, water play, walking routes and bike paths. The vision for this project has been
emerging for several years. Master plans and reports by Englewood, Sheridan, South Suburban Parks
and Recreation, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Urban Drainage District and the Arapahoe
County Open Spaces South Platte Working Group embrace RiverRun Trailhead as a keystone
component. Planning included community meetings, presentations, a Website and other outreach
and opportunities for input.
As a partner, the City of Sheridan is contributing $75,000 along with coordination and other support.

PROJECT TITLE: RiverRun Trailhead Phase II
•
Trailhead fills a fundamental need of providing park and open space. The RiverRun
Trailhead will provide a park area, playground, pavilion, restroom facilities, trail,
improved landscaping and river access. Improvements made by this project will
enhance the outdoor experience while encouraging youth and their families to
spend more time outdoors in their community.
Protect wildlife habitat and corridors -The RiverRun trail project calls for reworking the
river banks and stream bottom to improve water flow and water quality along with
planting wildlife-friendly vegetation. These changes will improve fish habitat in the river
as well as supporting other riparian plant and animal life. The improved park, and
green ways and the trail access on both sides of the river, will also preserve a sense of
stewardship and community support for a healthy river environment.

RiverRun Trail head Phase II transfo~'ril'ations approximately 3 acres on the east bank
with the goal of a multi-purpose venue that engages the South Platte River, expands
access to the Mary Carter ·Greenway·RegibhalTran·systeri'l'and provides a destination
for many thousands of local residents from the surrounding communities as well as
thousands of trail users to recreate, relax or even host an event at the picnic pavilion. It
will result in a unique user experience unlike anything else in the Englewood park
system or along the greenway trail.
The existing site is underused. Currently a majority of the project site is scruffy and
marginally accessible. Grades, including access from the existing parking, are too steep
to meet ADA requirements for river access. In addition, existing grades do not focus on
the river and do not foster appealing vistas. This project will result in a re-graded,
attractive site that centers on the river and a park-like space.
It should be noted that this project-RiverRun Trailhead Phase II-is the second step of
an effort building on Phase I (grading and site preparation) that is currently funded. It
should be noted that this is part of a larger project to complete an 8-acre RiverRun
Trailhead site that will include water recreation improvements in the river and
enhancements to the river banks and the uplands on the west side of the river. The in-

river and riverbank work will proceed this coming fall. (Please see attached plan maps
and drawings).
In addition, RiverRun Trailhead is an integral component of still larger overall river
corridor project. It is a keystone element in a major r iver corrido r improvement effort
along the South Platte River i n the South Metro Area . The overall plan includes the
transformation of over a mile of the river from Big Dry Creek at Union Avenue to just
north of W . Oxford Avenue . The goal of that larger vision is to upgrade and transform a
neglected reach of the South Platte River into a new recreational and open space venue
with in -river water play/whitewater enhancements, a new regional tra i l along the east
bank to accommodate the many thousands of Mary Carter Greenway Trail users,
riverbank beautification and habitat enhancements creating better access to the river,
adding parking lot improvements at W . Oxford Avenue new picnic and event venues, a
nature-themed playground and other upland park amenities.
The trailhead will be built i n phases: Phase I -Site Preparation is funded and about to
begin including: earthwork to resha p.(~~\:f::dl;t~n): the site to the river; removal of
existing debris; eros ion and sed!fuent,eQntrOlj: c~,~~truction surveying and utility work.
Phase 2 -Builds the major site .:i -~·enlt:f~~ ~-O~Yi"'a'.S ·:t ti~ picnic pavilion.

The space is currently fallow and cicie~-n-otattr ~ct people to the river and greenway as a
water amenity and as a natural resource.
Note also that over the coming year, while the above improvements are being installed ,
the partners will also be completing major work in the adjacent river channel including
whitewater chutes and water play improvements, a beach area, access paths to the
water's edge, seat walls along the river bank and greening of the river with riparian
plants, trees, shrubs and other improvements.
Some additional enhancements are slated to follow as funding is secured including a
nature themed playground, additional parking on both the east and west sides and
additional landscaping. They will improve the venue over time but are not critical to the
use and enjoyment of the improvements completed with the grant.
The trailhead is currently under design by Mclaughl i n Whitewater Design Group (Civil
Engineer) and DHM Design (Landscape Architect). 75% design drawings were
completed in August 2014. Final Design will be completed i n May 2015 . Naranjo Civil
Contractors has been selected through the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District's
Project Partners Program. This program selects contractors from the District's pre-
qualified contractors list. There are several advantages to collaborating and engaging
2015 Large Grant Application

with the contractor during planning and design. Cost estimates are more accurate
because they have been prepared by Naranjo who is building the project. Value
engineering is completed during the design process by contractor feedback on
constructability of designs and materials specified. Lastly, the contractor better
understands the project goals and objectives by being involved with planning and
design. Once the design is completed, a construction contract will be negotiated with
Naranjo to build the project.
Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) is managing the river corridor
project and will oversee construction in partnership with the City of Englewood, City of
Sheridan, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, Colorado Water Conservation
Board, the South Platte Working Group, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and Arapahoe
County Open Spaces.
The project has an indefinite useful life with the improvements permanent to serve
generations of visitors.

River Run Trail head is a key element ofa water-oriented park venue in the heart of the
South metro area readily accessible to residents of Englewood, Sheridan, Littleton and
Denver. The RiverRun Trallhe~rd ·will s-e'r\/e as~a gateway element of a regional trail and
recreational amenity for users along the South Platte River and the Mary Carter
Greenway Regional Trail System. Accordingly, the site is attractive to, and will serve,
cyclists, joggers, rollerbladers, kayakers, tubers, waders, walkers, anglers and wildlife
viewers of all ages on a daily basis.
Virtually all age, demographic and ability groups have been observed along the
green way and it is expected that all of these groups will enjoy the new venue. Surveys,
community meetings and planning confirm broad support and interest in using this kind
of amenity. It is estimated from visual inspection and surveys by the South Suburban
Parks and Recreation District that currently tens of thousands of individuals and groups
use this trail and will benefit from a new trailhead annually. As this trail is a regional
draw for cycling and kayaking, the service area for users is estimated to be a radius of 20
miles or more.
Because of the site's unique quality as a water-oriented venue with kayaking, tubing
fishing and its prime accessibility along the Mary Carter, Bear Creek and Denver
Greenways, its service radius is well over 15-20 miles. According to U.S. Census data,

over 100,000 people live or work within convenient walking/biking distance (3 miles) of
the site. Indeed, since the Platte Greenway is a regional attraction, the site will also
serve the broader metro-wide population .
There are multiple densely populated neighborhoods with modest older single family
and multi-family homes where a large proportion of the residents are of lower or
modest income. There are also a number of commercial and industrial uses with several
hundreds of employees. According to DRCOG information and other sources, median
income in the proximate neighborhoods averages $42,100 ($33,997 in the City
Sheridan)--well below the statewide median of $58,823. Ethnicity is mixed with 38%
English language learners in the Sheridan School District. Many of the local residents
have limited access to cars, work multiple jobs and lack financial wherewithal for
children to participate in fee-based after school activities . When the community pool in
Sheridan closed in 2008, there was an outcry for water-based recreation. Similar to
Denver's Confluence Park, many are seen recreating in the South Platte near Union
Avenue where there is access to the water but that area is not optimal for casual water
play.

There are no known significant historic or cultural values adversely impacted by the
RiverRun Trai lhead developmerff:'0 'Tn0Ugff-wl'leffccrm·jjletetl, especially with the new
pavilion, it will offer a major new outdoor community gathering place-a cultural
benefit. In addition, when enhanced by new grading and landscaping, Riverrun will offer
scenic values associated with being adjacent to the South Platte River. Several decades
ago this reach of the river was channelized by the US Army Corps of Engineers to
address flooding. This project will improve the scenic value of the property by
enhancing views and "humanizing" the character of the space . Improvements such as
re-grading and wildlife -friendly planting will take place this coming year in conjunction
with, and promoted by, the Riverrun Trailhead Phase II project; though not specifically
in this grant, th is work will enhance the area. This includes reshaping and replanting the
river channel and its banks to significantly improve the character of the river channel as
an important riparian space along the Platte River . This will include native and certain
appropriate non-native species .
Currently, because the area has been disturbed over the years, the habitat value can be
categorized as low to medium. Vegetation on the site and in the vicinity includes
irrigated bluegrass, dryland grasses and many broad leaf weedy plants associated with

disturbed soils. (Cottonwood, Siberian Elm, Ash and Catalpa) which were planted as part
of the Broken Tee Golf Course and a river beautification project back in the late 1980's). •
While the site presently does not have exceptional habitat value, many birds and
animals migrate up and down along the Platte River . Typical bird species include many
species of duck, blue heron, sparrow, robin, finch , geese and some raptors . Animal
species include beaver, fox, deer, coyote, skunk and rabbit. Impacts to the natural
resources are considered to be low. Riparian access for movement up and down the
river will not be adversely affected . The new grasses, shrubs and trees added to the site,
as well is the associated in-river-channel enhancements, will result in new significant
environmental improvement.

PROJECT TITLE: RiverRun Trailhead Phase 11
The City of Englewood Parks and Recreation Department will be responsible for the
long-term maintenance of the RiverRun Trailhead facility including all landscaping,
structures, trails, furnishings and equipment. Anticipated maintenance tasks include:
upkeep of structures such as the picnic pavilion, mowing, pavement repair, graffiti
removal, tending to the restroom facilities, trash removal, weed management, litter and
debris pickup, routine upkeep of furnishings, police, fire and rescue services and other
maintenance typically included with a passive park facility of this nature.
The City of Englewood annually allocates funding in the Parks and Recreation
Department budget for personnel, commodities and capital for regular repair and
maintenance for all park infrastructures, amenities and facilities. The 2015 Parks
Division Maintenance Budget is $2,137,252. The Parks Department currently maintains
approximately 250 acres of parkland, open space and green space and infrastructure.
When the Phase II work is completed with all the listed amenities and additional
improvements including a playground and additional landscaping and parking, it is
expected that $16,465 will be added to the Parks Division maintenance budget for labor,
irrigation, restroom/shelter maintenance, snow and trash removal and tree and turf
maintenance. (See Commitment ,beff~_f.n fii~·:,§.)

In 2011, the City of EnglewoodWaS'aWafdedaS-SU;OOOpla'frning grant from Arapahoe
County Open Space with a total project cost of $134,600, for "Riverside Park
Planning/Development". Shortly following the grant award, the City of Englewood
joined with Urban Drainage Flood Control District (UDFCD) to collaborate. UDFCD
identified the river corridor from Union Avenue to W. Oxford Avenue for improvements
and a major transformation. This process prompted the re-establishment of the South
Platte Working Group. The partners of the South Platte Working Group including the
Cities of Englewood, Sheridan, Littleton, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District,
UDFCD, Colorado Water Conservation Board and Arapahoe County Open Spaces fully
engaged in the effort.
As discussions unfolded on related projects along the South Platte River, RiverRun
Trailhead was identified and designated as a major destination, access point and anchor
of this project. By 2013, the vision started to take shape and the City of Englewood
contracted with UDFCD to create the design of RiverRun Trailhead where UDFCD
provided major funding for site planning, design and implementation support. With this
funding and collaboration, the team worked with Mclaughlin Whitewater Design Group
and OHM Design to complete final design by May 2015. The design work was vetted by

the partners through the South Platte Working Group. More than $250,000 was
contributed by UDFCD to fund the planning and design work on RiverRun Trailhead.
RiverRun Trailhead was then made a priority and deemed a catalytic and essential lead
project by the partners. In pursuit of this project, the City of Englewood applied for and
received a $300,000 Standard Grant from ACOS this past winter (2015) for RiverRun
Trailhead Phase I that includes major grading, earthwork and other infrastructure to
prepare the site . The second major step was for Englewood to designate an additional
$300,000 in matching funds and apply for RiverRun Trailhead Phase II (this application)
in the amount of $500,000 to build the major access point, structures and amenities .
Finally, as part of the collaborative implementation process, UDFCD and the other
partners agreed to initiate construction of the in-channel whitewater chutes and
riverbank greening/access work in the fall of this year (2015). This supports and
complements the RiverRun Trail head Phases I and II work that will closely follow this
winter and over the course of the coming year .

RiverRun Trail head Phase II is one of the key elements in an extensive multi-year
planning and design process for the reach of the South Platte River from Union Avenue
to the Mary Carter Greenway pedestrian bridge at W. Oxford Avenue. In addition, this
specific project represents the culmination of a three-decade-plus concerted action by
the communities of the South Metro Area to create a greenway along the South Platte
River as a unifying feature and major amenity. It strives toward completion of a major
transformation process on a long neglected reach of the river -a vision that has always
enjoyed strong support . It has been supported in a number of public forums as a multi-
jurisdictional endeavor with many stakeholders joining together. It is addressed and
highlighted in several plan documents:
• The City of Englewood South Platte River Open Space Plan 2003-This plan
represents an official year-long effort by Englewood to shape the future of the
river. The plan addressed the South Platte River from Belleview to Hampden with

This project is the highest priority South Platte Working Group effort. This project is part
of a larger vision both for the site and the reach of the South Platte River from W. Union
Avenue to W. Oxford Avenue that envisions transforming the river with improved
access, whitewater recreation, trails, landscaping and other features.
Additionally, the improvements requested herein represent the east bank park
elements that are part of a large 8-plus acre river recreational venue that includes:
whitewater chutes, bank re-grading and re-landscaping, overlooks, seatwalls, a wading
beach, a themed playground, expanded parking and other enhancements. All of this
work is scheduled to occur beginning this fall with completion over the coming 18-24
months.

upland feature and access point for the public to the larger set of improvements at W .
Oxford Avenue. This is a unique and timely opportunity to all of the major elements
built this coming year.
The partners are prepared to fund and proceed with the adjacent in-river whitewater
and riverbank improvements but they are doing this with the understanding that there
will be attractive, associated upland elements including the pavilion, plaza and
restroom. They are counting on support for this from the key partners (particularly
ACOS as a lead partner) and timely construction of the planned improvements. In effect,
RiverRun Phase II is leveraging a much larger set of improvements in the river and on
the adjacent banks funding this component now motivates the other substantial
contributions.
Indeed, RiverRun Trail head with funding from this grant sets the pace of this project and
builds credibility for the entire RiverRun Project. In the absence of grant funding, the
Trailhead and trail project will lack needed funding and lose priority status among the
funding partners, matching funds mayJ;>ec:Hverted to other projects and this project and

In addition, funds are being pursued from GOCO. RiverRun Trailhead is a keystone and
catalytic process in the larger South Platte River improvements effort that extends from
Union Avenue to W. Oxford Avenue. This effort not only creates a major, new river-
oriented "Central Park" for the South Metro Area, it is also a focal point for future
economic development that will change the character of an under-utilized river corridor
in the spirit of Denver's Confluence Park.
This plan has been identified by all of the partners of the South Platte Working Group as
a top priority project. The City of Englewood and the City of Sheridan's community plans
rank this as an important priority. It is also similarly rated as high priority in The South
Platte River Corridor Vision plan-an overall plan for the revitalization of the South
Platte River corridor. That plan was published by the South Platte Working Group in
2014 .

On behalf of the City of Englewood's Parks and Recreation Commission, I am writing this letter in
support of the City of Englewood Department of Parks and Recreation's grant application for the
RiverRun Tmilhead.
D
The RiverRun Trailhead project will substantiate the City of Englewood's dedication to its parks
and the environment. This project will not only become a recreational destination for the entire
region, but will also improve and restore the river and its habitats. The Trailhead will enhance the
image of the City of Englewood within our own community; serving over 100,000 local residents
and many more regionally of diverse incomes and ages in need of outdoor spaces. This recreational
area will be a draw for bicyclists, kayakers, fishers and any outdoor enthusiasts of the general
public and those requiring ADA access .
The City of Englewood's Parks and Recreation Commission enthusiastically supports the RiverRun
Trailhead and hopes the Arapahoe County Open Space will do the same and support the funding
request for the project.

Arapahoe County Open Space and Trails Advisory Board
c/o Arapahoe County Open Spaces Program
6934 S Lima St. Unit A
Centennial, CO 80112
Dear Members of the Open Space and Trails Advisory Board :
As members of the South Platte Working Group, we are writing in support of the City of
Englewood's grant application to the Arapahoe County Open Spaces Program for the RiverRun
Trailhead project.
This partnership project between Englewood and Sheridan is an integrated component of the
overall river corridor project and is a very high priority of the South Platte Working Group. The
RiverRun Trail head is part of a larger vision, both for the site and the reach of the South Platte
River from W. Union Avenue to W. Oxford Avenue, which envisions the river with improved
access, whitewater recreation, trails, landscaping and other features. The RiverRun Trail head
will become a focal point in a larger, 2 mile-long, 250+ acre, river-oriented "Central Park"
serving the South Metro area with green spaces, improved habitat and natural areas, water
play, walking routes, and bike paths.
• The RiverRun project and trailhead was identified as an important opportunity in the working
group's 2013 visioning charrette that engaged major stakeholders and landowners.
Additionally, the RiverRun Trailhead meets the working group's goals found in our 2012
Statement of Purpose. They include:
• To enhance the South Platte corridor as a recreational resource for the entire region;
• To restore and revitalize the river and its habitat while maintaining its role as a flood
conveyance;
• To encourage and improve opportunities for education and understanding of the South
Platte River's health and its tributaries;
• To connect the communities to the river-through more consistent land use, economic
development and coordinated policies .
The RiverRun Trail head project is an outstanding example of leveraging resources and
interagency cooperation to provide the greatest benefits to our communities and the entire
metro area. The success of this important effort depends on the timely securing of funds from
the key partners. A grant from Arapahoe County is a crucial part of ensuring that this ambitious,
multifaceted project can move forward .
Sincerely,
The Members of the South Platte Working Group

Dear Arapahoe County Open Space Board,
As students at Sher idan High School, we spend a lot oftime in our community. We were excited to learn
about River Run Park because we need more fun places to hang out. We think River Run Park will be a
great place to spend time with our friends and families.
This summer, we've learned a lot about urban waters and how to protect them because we are
employees of Groundwork Denver, a non-profit that works along Bear Creek and the South Platte River.
We have done water quality work and have also picked up trash and weeds along the banks. It is sad to
see how much trash is in the water and on the land. A grant from Arapahoe County Open Space grant
can be used to build restrooms and picnic areas with trash cans . We think this will help with the trash
problem.
Since most of us don't drive, we're concerned about having safe and easy ways to get to the Park. We
visited the future site of the Park and think there are ways to make the Park entrance safer and cleaner
with money from this grant.
We're looking forward to spending time at River Run Park!
Sincerely,
~ ' ili~ Grant Application

Re: Englewood ACOS Large Grant Application Fall 2015-Support letter and cash match
Dear ACOS Board Members,
June 30, 2015
I am writing this letter in support for the Englewood Department of Park and Recreation's application for funds
for the River Run Trailhead along the South Platte River.
Sheridan is not a well off community. We do not have a public swimming pool. Many of our citizens do not own
cars. We have simple parks with recreational amenities geared towards very young children. In a recent
encounter with a teen in our community, interest was expressed in having an area to hang out at by the river.
The South Platte River does not currently offer safe access for recreation purposes. The goal of the River Run
project is to offer a gathering spot for aquatic recreation, similar to that found at Confluence Park in Denver, but
with even more amenities in the river and along its banks.
River Run Park will be an incredible recreational focal point along the South Platte River for people of all ages to
easily walk to and enjoy. This is why the City of Sheridan is partnering with the City of Englewood, to make this
park a reality. The City of Sheridan is also providing a cash match of $75,000 towards this grant. We hope that
you will partner with us as well.
Funding from an Arapahoe County Open Space Grant will provide much needed financial assistance for the
provision of restroom facilities, picnic tables, and basic utilities and landscaping for the park. Without this
funding, many of these amenities will have to be scaled back or eliminated from the project.
Thank you for your consideration of this grant application for the River Run Trailhead in Englewood .
