Re: Mountainridge First Filing, P.U.D.
Dear Steve:

I thought you might like an update on what's happening with the
review of the groundwater analysis and design of the regional
detention facilities at Mountainridge.
Last week I spoke with Ted Shepard of the Planning Department and
Mike Herzig of the Engineering Department. I brought them up to
speed on the status of the groundwater study, but neither one .of
them had yet heard from you regarding having Mountainridge First
Filing placed on the March Planning and Zoning Board meeting
agenda. I suggest that you contact Ted to determine what needs to
be completed, and by when, in order to be on the March agenda.
With respect to the groundwater analysis, I expect to receive
preliminary results of some additional modeling work today. This
modeling •is required to determine what impact lining the canal
and/or installing a dewatering system will have on the groundwater
levels. I hope to have the final revised report by the end of next
week.
I think it's important that you know that the preliminary results
of the groundwater analysis indicate that we need to proceed onto
the preliminary design of the remaining regional drainage
facilities, (ie; the canal crossing and the other regional
detention pond), prior to final design and construction of the
regional pond adjacent to the First. Filing of Mountainridge.
Because of this additional work it will not be possible to meet the
deadline of April 15 for completing any required work on the canal.
However, we understand that you would still like to proceed with
development of the First Filing without more delay. Because of
this I have asked RBD, Inc., as our design consultant on the
regional drainage facilities, to evaluate the impact of approval of
the First Filing on our proposed facilities and determine what
improvements would need to be constructed at this time so as to
facilitate the approval of the First Filing. These recommendations
will be based upon the final version of the groundwater analysis.
I will let you know as soon as possible what these recommendations
are.

The completion of the Master Plan revisions is a priority. RED,
Inc. has already submitted a draft Scope of Work for my review, but
it has not yet been determined how long it will take to complete
the revisions.
The groundwater analysis will be available for your use in making
decisions regarding final design revisions to the First Filing: If
you feel that it is in your best interest, you can proceed with
measures, such as lining the canal and/or installing a dewatering
system, that allow you to proceed with development of the First
Filing. If it is determined, after our Master Plan update is
complete, that the measures you install also benefit the City's
regional facilities, there is potential to be partially reimbursed
for the cost of the improvements through our Developer Repayment
Program.
I hope this information is of some help to you. As more
information becomes available I will pass it on to you. If you
have any questions please call me at 303/221-6589.
Sincerely,
Susan L. Duba Hayes, P.E.
