l$UE/ ACTION PROPOScD
-Staff requests COWlci! support fo t a bill for an ordinance approving the Grant of Easement
and Right-of-Way betwP.en the City of Englewood and the City of Littleton for a drainage
casement on the M cLellan Reservoir property.
PREVIOUS COUNOL ACTION
-
None.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the easement is to allow construction of storm water o verflow outlets for
surface water drainage, filter fencing for trapping sediments (an Envirofence), and a
perimeter wall aroWld the exterior of 1,':\e adjacent Southpark Subdivision No. 11 . All
disturbed areas will be reseeded and have suitable cover to prevent erosion.
The surface water drainage first flows to a pump station, which is designed to handle a two
year storm. This pump station is designed to catch the runoff with the highest level of
contanunation. The excess runoff ITOm a two year storm overflows the pump station and
flows into the reservoir. The overflow water is expected to be reasonably clean water and
should not impact reservoir water quality . Proper operation of the pump station is required
to prevent contaminants entering the reservoir.
STAPP ANALYSIS
'The Grant of Easement and Right-of-Way is for a perpetual easement and right-of-way to
construct and maintain a storm water overflow outlet for surface water drainage from the
adjacent area, Southpark Subdivision Filing No. 11, which includes Southpark Subdivision
Filings No. llA, 11B, and llC.
FINANOAL IMPACT
The City of Littleton will incur the .:osts involved with the construction, removal, or
relocation of the outlets and fencing. There is no financial impact on the City of
Englewood.
