<br />City of Littleton <br /> <br />/~ . <br />C <br /> <br />Mr. Daries (Chuck) Lile <br />August 27, 1997 <br />Page - 2 <br /> <br />Given the fact that these imprpvements were constructed over 12 years ago and are a <br />viSUal enhancementto llieGreenway Tiiil-(Wnter lilso contributed a substantial sum of <br />money to the construction of the trail itself), the City of Littleton strongly endorses the <br />granting of an easement to Echostar. It is our understanding that a number of easements <br />in addition to the one for Pitcher's Restaurant have also been granted along this stretch of <br />the South Platte in recent years. . <br /> <br />Since Echostar will be converting the building from its original retail use to offices, they <br />have a second request which is to be granted exclusive rights to the use of the concrete <br />plaza and to construct a privacy wall not to exceed four feet in height along the river side <br />of the plaza to encourage trail users to remain on CWCB property. <br /> <br />In return for the easement, Echostar is willing to landscape and maintain the area between <br />the plaza and the Greenway Trail, and to install benches, a water fountain, or other <br />amenities for the convenience of trail users. City staff has discussed the easement with <br />South Suburban Park & Recreation District staff and they have no objection to it. <br /> <br />In closing, I would like to emphasize that the granting of this easement is in the best <br />interest of the City of Littleton and the general public that uses the Greenway Trail. <br />Members of the City staff and I will be available to answer questions regarding this <br />request at the September Board Meeting in Durango. <br /> <br />If you have any additional questions, please contact Jim Woods, the Deputy City <br />Manager, at 795-3720. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~5:~ <br /> <br />Dennis S.
