• Description: Flood Protection Section - South Platte River Right of Way - Special Use Agreements
• Board Meetings - Doc Type: Memo

- 2 -

developed an after-the-fact agreement for emergency access and repair for their facilities, and CWCB
Staff anticipates such an agreement would be appropriate in this potential third scenario within the Project.

Because of the recent events with the City of Englewood and the Littleton Rotary Club, CWCB staff has
been working with the Office of the Attorney General to develop generic documents that can be used in
these types of situations when they arise in the future. An application would be available via internet to be
submitted to CWCB Staff, which will serve to put the applicant on notice of the requirements to obtain
permission to use Project lands for an event. The signed application, combined with an approval letter
from Staffto the applicant, would constitute a temporary access "permit".

Copies of the proposed permit applications for special events and for emergency situations will be made
available to the Board members during the Board meeting. The draft applications have been sent to
Colorado State Parks, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, and the US Corps of Engineers for
review and comment. We have received extensive input and guidance from the Attorney General's office
and have incorporated comments from the partnering agencies in the development of the proposed permit
applications. We believe the proposed approach is reasonable and customary.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board approve the concept of application forms and letter permits for special
events and for emergency operations within the CWCB's right-of-way along the South Platte River, and
authorize Staff to grant temporary permits for those uses of the Project lands on a case-by-case basis.
