Steve, Ted,
Just thought I would send an update in case you're not aware of what's happening...
Almost $7 million of the Urban Renewal Authority's promised $8 million into the N College Marketplace
project still has not been given to the developer, and is pending the City's acceptance of the stormwater
detention facility and wetlands. Originally we thought Dana Leavitt would be able to do his final inspection
before leaving for Europe, but some problems have developed. The contractors installed the stormwater
outfall crossing Willox too high, and the grading of the detention pond doesn't match the specs, so too
much ponding is occurring in the detention facility. The Stormwater Dept is not going to accept the facility
as is, and wants to require the contractors to fix it. Late last week Ayres Associates staff was asserting
that Dana had directed the grading of the wetlands and it was thus his fault it was not to specs - Dana
refutes that and says that he never directed and OK'd the grading. This afternoon we have a meeting with
the developer (Loveland Commercial), Mike Freeman, etc to discuss.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Erica
