GRANT OF WATER LINE EASEMENT -S. RARITAN & W. EVANS. Duromac Partnership wants to build a warehouse on the vacant land at Evans and Raritan. There is presently no water service available to the vacant parcel. Duromac is planning to construct a 6" water line extension, at their sole expense, to service the proposed warehouse. The property owner on the south (Mr. VanderHorst at W. Adriatic and S. Raritan) has also submitted a Grant of Water Line Easement for the portion of the water main that crosses his property to enable the water main to service Duromac's property. This will benefit the City by establishing a looped water main at Tejon and Evans. The water main will, after a one- year warranty period, be deeded to the City. This will enable adjacent properties to purchase water taps off this section of main. Duromac will incur all costs for main construction.

Mrs. Gisen originally filed for a building permit approximately one year ago to build an addition onto her house at 3605 S. Bannock St. The addition would have encroached into Englewood's City Ditch right-of-way. The northwest corner of her house encroaches into the City Ditch right-of-way. The City denied her request whereupon she filed suit against the City to allow the proposed addition. The suit was mediated at Arapahoe County District Court and the above listed documents are the result of the mediation. Englewood is proposing to quit claim Mrs. Gesin four square feet of City Ditch right-of-way to allow room for improvements to her existing residence. No further expansion will be allowed. The License Agreement will allow her to use and maintain the City Ditch right-of-way as part of her back yard, but no permanent improvements may be constructed in this area.

Dartmouth. We had originally planed on making our connections in Dartmouth Street. After closer investigation of the existing utilities we discovered the existing storm sewer pipe that we must go under with our water service and over with our sewer service, is in need of repair, it leeks and is very fragile. B y excavating around the pipe we are afraid we will worsen, it's condition and possibly costing thousands of dollars to repair. As an alternative we are requesting to tap into the private water and sewer line s located within the Dartmouth Industrial Park south of Dartmouth St. The utilities are located in the parking lot and are very acces sible. We have not contacted the owners for permission, waiting to see how the bo ard will rule. We have discussed thi s proposal with John Bock to see if our 1" water tap and our 4" sewer tap will affect the workings of the existing private sy stem and he assured us that it would have no affect. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Highlands Ranch, CO 80126 Re : Development Standards , Highlands Ranch Business Park Dear Chetter: A TT. 3 3400 S. Elati Street Eng lewood . Co lorado 80110-230 4 Phone (303 ) 762-2300 (303) 762-2301 FAX (303 )789-1 125 The City of Englewood shares the concerns ex pressed by Lucent Technologies related to the broad range of uses allowed under the current zoning. The City would like to point out that the current zoning was developed by Highlands Ranch . The City's goal at that time was to be an integral part of the dev elopment of Highlands Ranch and that position has not changed . Therefore, the City is read y and willing to immediately join Shea Homes and Lucent Technologies in developing standards for the Highlands Ranch Business Park which exceed the zoning requirements and would apply to the entire business park. At this time, it is the City's pos ition that such standards would not be binding on the City unless Lucent Technologies has committed to a phased de v elopment on property within the Highlands Ranch Business Park. While all such commitments are subject to City Council approval, the proposed development standards would be consistent with the Council's goal for a first-class business park of the type existing and planned at Highlands Ranch Business Park. The City is prepared to immediately commit resources to this project. If anyone from Lucent Technologies has questions on this issue or would like to simply discuss the City's position further, I am available at (303) 762-2636 .

COLORADO 80228-1556 October 2, 1998 3400 South Elati Street Englewood, Colorado 80110-2304 RE: Valley Water District Dear Stew: A TT. '1 TELEPHONE 303-986-1551 WATS 800-354-5941 TELEFAX 303-986-1755 E-MAIL CandC PC@aol.com I am responding to your telephone call of some weeks ago in which the City of Englewood is no longer willing to go forward with the dissolution of the Valley Water District, because the City of Littleton is unwilling to sign an agreement regarding continuing responsibility for monitoring something within the City of Littleton boundaries. We have reviewed that response and strongly request reconsideration by Englewood. We have never believed that any acknowledgment, let alone agreement, by City of Littleton was necessary. In simplest terms , the Court Order which we have previously supplied to you in draft form will provide that there is a direct contractual relationship between Englewood and the properties now within Valley V.f ater District boundaries. We believe the Court will find that it agrees that there is no value gained to the continuation of the Valley Water District; and that there has been no substantive value to the existence of Valley Water District for the last 18 years, during the existence of the total service contract. With this, we believe Englewood is fully protected. We cannot understand the logic of forcing the Valley Water District, which has no funds whatsoever, no responsibilities, and no purpose for existence, to nonetheless continue to exist. VSD\L TRIFON DA .DOC COLLINS AND COCKREL, P.C. Mr. Stewart H. Fonda October 2, 1998 Page 2 Thank you and the Board in advance for reconsideration. If there 1s an appearance or further material which we can supply, please let us know. Sincerely, /pal cc: The District TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM Stu Fo~~A of U ilities c~(y: D. ector of Public Works October 9, 1998 PA84 DETENTION FACILITY I reviewed the subject report dated August, 1998 and have a few comments. Overall, the report is well documented and presents a reasonable solution that should have minimal impact on the City-owned property in the vicinity. As the design progresses, we should insure an easy-to-use access road is provided that allows heavy cleaning equipment, such as front-end loaders and dump trucks, to enter the pond. Cleaning may be required as frequently as once or twice per year. The routing of trucks conveying a wet organic material should be considered. At our own Plaza Pond on Little Dry Creek, we have water hydrants that supply fire hoses to wash down or rinse vehicles before they leave the pond. Otherwise, tracking of mud can be a problem. In reviewing the outlet works cross section, provision needs to be made to drain the pond should the perforated plate or channel become clogged. Something as simple as a plastic trash bag might prevent the pond from draining. If the solution is to make the perforated plate a slide gate, the gate operator would need to be accessible at least during the 10 year event. / If the State Engineer should determine this pond is a regulated dam, these and other requirements will be addressed in their review. /lw Attach.
