<br />MR. SPARI<S: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARI<S I <br /> <br />Agenda Item #3 be adopted. Any further dis- <br />cussion? All those in favor of the motion <br />will signify by saying 'aye'; opposed - the <br />resolutions are adopted. (See Appendix A). <br /> <br />Larry, just one last question. I have <br />a pet peeve and I want you to tell me some- <br />thing about it. The Corps of Engineers' , <br />civilian engineers had flood plain studies <br />for the South Platte through Denver. didn't <br />they?" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Yes." <br /> <br />"Yet I think this past year a gigantic <br />car wrecking place down near the Hugh Woods <br />lumber yard. which was the center of most of <br />the damage from this last flood, was built. <br />May I ask what the relationship between all <br />these studies are and this, because obviously <br />that was built after the flood plain studies <br />were completed? I'd like to know what the <br />coordination is? Because they have got more <br />cars there than will be:down the channel and <br />will be worse than at Wadsworth and Inter- <br />state 70." <br /> <br />"I think everybody in the metropolitan <br />area today is relying upon the Chatfield and <br />Mt. Carbon projects to stop the flooding of <br />the Denver area. It is true that we do ex- <br />pect these will make the flood hazard <br />negligible in the channel, for some ten to <br />fifteen miles at least, below Chatfield and <br />the confluence of Bear Creek with the South <br />Platte. In the interim period anything can <br />happen. '65 can happen allover again this <br />coming year. <br /> <br />We also have some apprehensions about <br />the development going on there. There is no <br />guarantee with Chatfield that we won't have <br />high water in the South Platte channel. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Denver has actively participated. the <br />
