<br />..~o-........... <br /> <br />...--.... . --"- <br /> <br />City of Littleton <br /> <br />City Council <br />2255 Wast Berry Avenue <br />Wttleton, Colorado 80165 <br />303-795-3720 <br />FAX 795-3819 <br /> <br />RECEIVED <br />AUG 2 8 1997 <br /> <br />CoIcndo Water <br />ConSQMbon 8oar~ <br /> <br />August 27,1997 <br /> <br />Mr. Daries (Chuck) Lile <br />Director <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 721 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Lile: <br /> <br />I am writing on behalf of the City of Littleton to request that the CWCB consider granting <br />an easement to Echostar Real Estate Corporation n (a property holding entity for Echostar <br />Communications), allowing the encroachment of certain improvements that were <br />constructed as part of the Riverfront Urban Renewal Project at Bowles Avenue and Santa <br />Fe Drive adjacent to the South Platte River in Littleton, and also granting Echostar, or any <br />potential owner, the right to rebuild and maintain these improvements. The infringement <br />onto CWCB property consists of a concrete plaza at the west entrance of the Riverfront <br />Mall building and drainage channel retaining walls along Little's Creek which were built <br />by the Writer Corporation in 1985. Another infringement within the urban renewal area <br />occurred in 1985 with the construction of a restaurant (now named Pitcher's), which has <br />been granted an easement by the CWCB. <br /> <br />Echostar is considering purchasing the Riverfront Mall building for use as its corporate <br />headquarters, marketing, legal, and customer support divisions. While the Pitcher's <br />Restaurant building has been generally occupied since 1985, the mall building has been <br />vacant since 1991, and is in danger of becoming a serious nuisance problem for the City, <br />and very unattractive neighbor to the Greenway Trail which runs along the South Platte. <br />The infringement was discovered as part of Echostar's due diligence process, and the City <br />staff immediately contacted Mr. Larry Lang, Flood Section Chief at the CWCB. <br /> <br />Representatives of Echostar and Littleton staff conducted a field review of the property <br />with Mr. Lang on August 14, and it appears that the improvements constructed in 1985 <br />by the Writer Corporation have had no impact on either the maintenance and operation of <br />the Greenway Trail by the South Suburban Park & Recreation District, or CWCB <br />maintenance responsibilities for the river channel. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT B <br />
