Dear Mr. Crigler,
On August 27 , 1997 the building department issued a pennit at the above referenced address based on
documents that were submitted by your company. Included was a site plan that showed setbacks from the
existing structure that were later identified as inaccurate. (see attached) Also, see the 'compliance notice'
on the approved plans that state "The approval of these plans shall not be construed to authorize any work
to be performed in violation of municipal code requirements or state law ."
We regret to inform you, but effective this date , permit # B-14492 is being revoked per the Uniform
Building Code, specifically section I 06.4.5 which states "The building official may, in writing, suspend or
revoke a permit issued under the provisions of this code whenever the permit is issued in error or on the
basis of incorrect information supplied, or in violation of any ordinance or regulation or any of the
provisions of this code."
Continuing on , Section 107 .6 also states "The building official may authorize refunding of not more than
80 percent of the permit fee paid when no work has been done under a permit issued in accordance with
this code. The building official shall not authorize refunding of any fee paid except on written application
filed by the original permittee not later than 180 days after the date offee payment.
If you have any questions regarding this action please call me at 762-2355.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: Sept. 26, 1997
TO: Chris Olson, Safety Services Director
FROM: Lance Smith, Chief Building Official
SUBJECT: Permit Revocation at 3605 S. Bannock St.
Chris,
After reviewing the Building Permit application and the Site Plan that was submitted by
the general contractor for the above address, I have determined that the following actions
should be taken:
I. Building Permit# B-14492 will be revoked as required per Section 106.4.5 of the
Uniform Building Code which states " The building official may, in writing, suspend
or revoke a permit issued under the provisions of this code whenever the permit is
issued in error or on the basis of incorrect information supplied, or in violation of
any ordinance or regulation or any of the provisions of this code . "
The Site Plan indicates that a Side Set Back of 10 feet exists on the north side of the
structure . The Survey that was performed by Utility Department shows that the existing
structure is already encroaching on city property by 3 inches. The 10 foot set back
indicated on the contractors Site Plan is actually city property .
2. Refund 80% of the Permit Fee and 100% of the use ta'< that was collected when the
permit was issued . The Plan Review Fee that was paid by the contractor will not be
refunded as this service has been performed.
Section 107 .6 of the Uniform Building Code allows the building official to only authorize
a refund of not more than 80% of the Permit Fee if the contractor requests such refund on
a written application within 180 days of fee payment.
Attached are copies of the Building Permit, Site Plan, Survey and a draft of the letter that
will be sent to the contractor after your review.

Memo
Date: 10-7-97
To: STU FONDA, UTILITIES DIRECTOR
CC:
.tf1v1'1l'
From: BILL MCCORMICK , OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT/ UTILITIES
RE: POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH A SANITARY MAIN IN A LANDFILL
THERE ARE A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS WITH TAKING OVER A SANITARY SYSTEM THAT IS
BENEATH A LANDFILL. SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. EXCAVATION FOR POINT REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS
DUE TO METHANE GAS BUILDUP IN THE TRENCH. WE ARE NOT EQUIPED TO
PERFORM THIS TYPE OF MAINTENANCE AND IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE
TO DOSO.
2. WHEN A PIPE IS DEEPER THAN 4 FEET , SHORING MUST BE PERFORMED. IN A
LANDFILL THIS IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND HAZARDOUS DUE TO THE DEBRIS AND
POLLUTANTS IN THE SOIL. PIPE THAT IS 14 FEET OR DEEPER MUST BE CONTRACTED
OUT FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, BECAUSE OF THE DIGGING LIMITS OF OUR
EQUIPMENT.
Interoffice Memo
3. A LANDFILL IS KNOWN TO HAVE EXTREMELY HOT SOIL THAT WILL DESTROY PIPES . I
BELIEVE THAT A CONTINUOUS REPAIR PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR IN THIS ENVIRON-
MENT AND POSSIBLY THE ENTIRE PIPE COULD BE DESTOYED .
4. A METHOD OF REPAIRS WITHOUT EXCAVATIOIN IS CALLED IN-SITU-FORM .THIS IS LIN-
ING OF THE PIPE WITH A PLASTIC TUBING WITHOUT EXCAVATION . HOWEVER THIS
METHOD IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE , WITH COSTS EXCEEDING $100 TO $200 PER
FOOT.
I RECOMMEND THAT WE DO NOT TAKE OVER A SANITARY SYSTEM THAT IS IN A
LANDFILL. I BELIEVE IT WOULD CAUSE UNDO HARDSHIP FOR OUR EMPLOYEES,
EQUIPMENT, AND BE EXTEMELY EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN.

The Wild and Scenic Task Force met on
September 9, 1997, to review the-current status on
preparing our Alternative A2 proposal. The group
continued in its work which is focused on its intention
of convincing the Forest Service to select Alternative
A2 as its final action and to not recommend any wild
and scenic river designation.
Attendees at the meeting were: Tom Griswold,
Marcia Hughes, Charlie Jordan, Marc Waage, Frank

NEXT MEETING:
OVERVIEW
Thursday, October 23, 1997,
2:00 p.m.
Denver Water Department
3n:t Floor, Board Room
The Task Force heard reports from Marcia Hughes,
Charlie Jordan, Mark Waage and Lisa Purdy
regarding different aspects of building the A2 plan.
MEMORANDUM
Page2
September 11, 1997
The plan is definitely beginning to come together. For example, Marcia expressed her
intention to distribute the first rough draft of the Trust Fund component within the next
week.
We expect to have drafts of eve ion by early October. Therefore, we have
scheduled an opportunity on ct ber 9 r those interested in how the plan is coming
together to review those four mponen . This will build on an earlier informational
meeting that was held primarily for environmentalists and other similar interest groups.
The October 9ttt meeting will likely be held in the Threestone Building and will be held
from 5 :00 to 7:00 p.m . with a buffet being served from 5:00 to 5 :30 and the discussion
beginning at 5 :30. You are encouraged to attend.
SOURCE WATER PROTECTION PLAN
Charlie reported that the committee is coming together in its work. He is meeting with
Julie Vlier. Aurora and Denver are expecting to hire Brown and Caldwell to assist in
this first tier scoping process. Their effort is focused on drinking water quality and new ·
requirements that have emerged under the Safe Drinking Water Act. There is some -
hope that, given the early leadership provided as a part of this effort, that some federal
funds will be available to support further development of this effort.
RECREATION
Marcia reported that the recreation committee is well attended and is beginning to
focus on developing the A2. recommendation. It will likely call for developing long-term,
well-thought-out recreation plan. The committee has stated that it is not interested in
just a few "quick fix" exciting items such as new trails. Charlie and Marcia discussed
possibilities of including State Parks as a part of the planning process .
FLOW
Mark Waage reported on the flow committee meetings. They are primarily looking at
increasing flows throughout the Alternative J corridor. That would be from Elevenmile
Reservoir to the confluence. They are also looking at potential temperature controls
below Elevenmile. At this time DOW has said that high flows are not a key concern to
them. However, there has been some comment by a Trout Unlimited representative
that they may ask for high flows to be further addressed. The likely end product is to
have target minimum flows with some outs when the minimum flows cannot be met so
that our water supply is not diminished. The plan is also likely to include a procedure
for bottom releases from Elevenmile. Committee members noted that the primary
response is that we simply do not have enough storage to be in the flood control
business, and thus to shave peaks.

TRUST FUND
Marcia reported that the trust fund committee is working well together. They are
focusing on the size of the Board, the membership and its roles. There has also been
quite a bit of dialogue before the trust fund committee regarding the administration of
the funds. At this point we are likely to decide to set up our own foundation, but ask for
another foundation to administer it. There was also some dialogue that perhaps some
entity such as Douglas County or Denver could offer to provide some administrative
assistance. Brooke reflected that this is under consideration in Douglas County. The
Task Force agreed that the committee could review addressing the area not only
through Alternative J, which is Elevenmile to the confluence but also the additional
segment which is on the North Fork and is reflected by Alternative B. Th;s area is from
the confluence to Estabrook. However, the Task Force did not finally decide on
whether the North Fork should be included.
If anyone would like further details on any of these committees, please call Marcia's
office at (303) 980-8668.
OTHER
Tom Griswold initiated the discussion relating to how we would respond to requests
from environmentalists through Alternative J, regarding some compromise, which might
be on a designation which is smaller in scope or some compromise regarding the
Right-of-Way. He stated his understanding that there is complete agreement that the
Task Force and Denver will not agree to any designation of any size. We will have a
dialogue regarding the Right-of-Way with five representatives from the water
community meeting with representatives of the environmental or other interests user
community. The dialogue will create an opportunity to better understand one another's
concerns. It is not intended as a negotiating session, but rather one to expand
understanding.

FIRST ROUGH DRAFT OF TRUST FUND SECTiON
I am enclosing the first rough draft of the Trust Fund Section for Alternative A2.. This is
intended to be an initial talking document. It will be worked on for the next two
committee meetings of September 22, 1997 and October 7, 1997, as well as in
whatever further dialogue is established. As a reminder, we meet from 5-7 p .m. in
Room 308, Denver Water Department.
This includes an additional suggestion for a different way of organizing the Board than
we discussed at the last meeting. The suggestion came from Brooke Fox in response
to interests that have been raised since the meeting by entities such as Arapahoe
County.
This draft says specifically that Denver Water and the Water Suppliers would establish
a trust fund or foundation independent of any other entity. We believe that is important
for purposes of being able to effectively track and manage the money. We are very
interested in this fund or foundation being administered by an ongoing entity such as
those the committee is considering . This matter can be more fully addressed at the
upcoming meeting on the 22nc1 .
Please call should you have any comments or questions . In the meantime, please feel
free to mark this draft up in any way and fax it to me in advance or to hand it out at the
committee meeting.

NOTE: This is the first rough draft. Any items in here may change.
PURPOSE
TRUST FUND
(A2 Insert)
The Metropolitan Water Suppliers, Wild and Scenic Task Force ("Water Suppliers·)
and Denver Water have decided there is value to creating a trust fund of $1 million, the
interest of which can be used as supplemental funding to support the values in the area
on the South Platte identified below. A foundation will be established as well as a
Board to determine allocation of funds and to cooperate together on other important
matters.
The Water Suppliers and Denver are a coalition of general purpose governments,
water suppliers, and others who have decided to work together to accomplish their
primary purpose of protecting the values on the mainstem while maintaining local
decision making on the Platte. The trust fund can assist in the effort of protecting
important values on the identified part of the South Platte. This fund will create
supplemental funding, additional moneys, which would not otherwise be available to
support these uses. Added benefits A2. contributes which would not occur if a
designation is recommended instead, include the additional funds, the Multipurpose
Board which will facilitate better understanding of different users needs, and create
opportunity to cooperate more effectively.
CORE CONTRIBUTION
The Water Suppliers and Denver Water together will contribute $1 million to the trust
fund which will be managed as set forth below. The $1 million will be contributed over
a course of 3 years beginning 6 months after the Forest Service has taken a final
agency action deciding to not designate the areas which it has identified as eligible
along the South Platte and North Fork.
The corpus of the trust, the $1 million, can not be spent. Interest from the fund can be
spent on an annual basis on values on the river identified below. Those interested in
the fund will also be encouraged to use strategies to maximize the resources available .
This can be done through a variety of measures including:
• Providing for memberships (this could include individual memberships of a relatively
small amount of money);
• Providing for strategies to receive grants from GOCO or other sources;
• Requiring some matching funds or services;
TRUST FUND
Draft 1
09/13/97
Page2
• Many other strategies are likely to be developed by the Board and others interested
in this fund.
ELIGIBLE PROJECTS
The purpose of creating this fund is to provide supplemental resources to support the
values in the area where the Forest Service otherwise may have recommended a wild
and scenic designation. The Outstandingly Remarkable Values ("ORvs·) identified by
the Forest Service in different parts of the eligible sections are:
• Historic Cultural Resources
• Fisheries
• Geologic
• Recreational
• Scenic
• Wildlife
• Vegetation/Ecological
ELIGIBLE AREA
Because of the importance of tying the investment to the fact that this is created as an
alternative to a recommendation for a wild and scenic designation, the geographic
reach on which the funds can be spent is limited to [insert one of the following
alternatives)
1. 48.1 miles on the mainstem of the South Platte River running from
Elevenmile Dam (downstream from the fence on Denver Water's special use
area) to the high water line of Strontia Springs Reservoir (6029 foot contour).
This is equivalent to Alternative J.
or
2. All areas determined eligible by the Forest Service. This is equivalent to
Alternative B. On the mainstem it includes 48.1 miles from Elevenmile Dam
(downstream from the fence on Denver Water's special use area) to the high
water line of Strontia Springs Reservoir. On the North Fork it would run from
the confluence with the South Platte River to Estabrook. The two areas total
72.3 miles.
RESTRICTIONS ON EXPENDITURES
There will be a few restrictions on the use of the funds. These are:
TRUST FUND
Draft 1
09/13197
Page3
• The investments can only be made in accordance with the eligible uses and
geographic area set forth above.
• No funds can be used to challenge or oppose in any way water development
or water operations.
• No funds can be used to harm any of the ORVs in the identified geographical
area.
• Only a limited amount of funds, not more than _____ %, can be used
for administrative costs.
• Other?
SOUTH PLATTE RIVER ENHANCEMENT BOARD
A Board will be established which will make final decisions on award of funds from the
interest received from the trust fund, so long as the expenditures are within the
guidelines set forth above. [Possibly also include: In addition, the Board will take on
an advisory function by providing advice on matters it deems to be important to its
overall purpose of protecting the identified values on the identified segments on the
South Platte and [North Fork (?)] which are subject to the trust fund. The Board will
determine items which it deems of significant importance for it to address. In addition,
the Board must determine that a particular issue is within its capability of addressing
given the time and resource limitations it has.]
The Water Suppliers and Denver would take the lead in assisting the Board and others
to develop [possibly: intergovernmental agreements(?) ("IGA's")] to support a timely
and effective commenting role. These IGA's would be developed after the Forest
Service has taken final agency action determining to not recommend designation. The
intention would be to finalize the IGA's within months after the Forest Service
decision. The likely IGA's would be between the Board and any or all of the following
entities: the Forest Service; Bureau of Land Management; Division of Wildlife; State
Parks; Jefferson, Douglas and Park counties; Denver 'Nater; and the City of Aurora.
[others?] The intended content of the IGA will be to spell out a commitment to provide
a role for the Board to have information and sufficient notice in order to be able to
timely and meaningfully comment to the decision making entities. This will be one of
the important instruments to provide effective ongoing implementation of coordinated
decision making and information sharing regarding the uses on the river. The intention
is to assist one another to make conscious decisions regarding any uses on the river so
that the overall goals of protecting the uses can be achieved.
The other role of the Advisory Committee will be to determine the expenditures of the
interest from the $1 million trust fund that is established as well as any other funds that
TRUST FUND
Draft 1
09/13/97
Page4
are available due to contributions, grants or other sources. The Board will adopt, from
time to time, any rules it deems appropriate to govern the issuance of its grants.
BOARD MEMBERSHIPS
The membership of the Board would be [any of the following alternatives or some other
permutation may ultimately be determined)
• Limited to 15 members (?)
• (1) Made up of a selection of the following: angiers, land owners (mainstem
and North Fork), boaters, outfitters, hikers, trail bikers, motorized vehicles
use, 4 wheel drive clubs, wildlife, representatives, someone concerned with
eco-system protection, two at large members chosen by the Board, a
representative from Jefferson County, a representative from Douglas County,
possibly representatives from Denver Water and Aurora and other counties.
or
(2) Each of five different categories would have three representatives made
up of groups listed above and others. The categories might be: non-
motorized recreation; motorized recreation; whole ecosystem representative
and at-large member(s); counties (Jefferson, Douglas and Park); water
suppliers (including one from Arapahoe County and others from ???).
or
?????
ADMINISTRATION
Denver Water and the Water Suppliers will create a trust fund .for purposes of
contributing the money and to set forth the specific parameters surrounding
expenditure of interest earned by this fund. The Board (?) will decide which entity to
ask to manage the funds. Current entities which have been considered include the
Greenway Foundation and the Denver Foundation. Because it will be some time
before the fund is actually created, the identification of the foundation and specific
negotiations can only be effectively carried out only when we are actually ready to
establish the fund.
