Following the approvals, the Board directed staff to develop a fee structure to be used as <br />consideration for CWCB granting of easement. At the March 23, 2005 Board meeting, staff was <br />requested to review and make a recommendation on the fee structure for the "Chatfield Downstream <br />Channel Improvement Project Easement Fee Structure" dated March 6, 1996. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />CWCB staff consulted with five entities which have experience in granting easements and charging <br />fees for said easements: 1) City of Fort Collins (Stormwater Utility); 2) City of Littleton; 3) Urban <br />Drainage and Flood Control District (UD & FCD); 4) Colorado State Land Board; and 5) Colorado <br />Attorney General's Office. Based on those discussions, the following fee detennination methods were <br />developed. In May 2005, the staff communicated with a number of entities that have to address the <br />CWCB's real estate easement fee issues. These communications have aided the staff in making <br />additions and changes to the existing easement fee structure. <br /> <br />Procedure for the Computation of Easement Fees for the CWCB's <br />South Platte River Right-Of-Way. <br /> <br />Method I Market Value Method <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />This method shall consider the market value of the subject site.
