ItRADf'ORl)PLIlIL'S><,..GCl). RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Board of Trustees Me,rch 14, 1984 Pcl~e ::l communications with Brian Hyde and so was taken aback by their letter da,ted 3-9-84. Thompson said the materials for ttle project were submitted to the eWeB at least 6 weeks ago after conversation with them prior to design and the first response to submission of those materials was this 3-9-84 letter to L'Estrange. Dean Gordon" said he and L'Estrange had talked with a number of people at CWCB and he is concerned about the timing of the project if CWCB gets involved. Brian Hyde tOld him today that once eWeB has the information (which they do) there may be a response in 2 weeks. But Gordon said he fears CWCB will want to tie the Hyde Park studies into work that is being done for Pitkin County and work being contemplated for Eagle County. If that happens, he said he'd be surprised to see CWCB complete that work in a year. He said he also lOOk,ed at the matter from the practical standpoint oi Obtaining insurance, Although the insurance is federal, it is brokered by insurance agents. An agent he spoke with said that if the property were in a designated ~rea the cost would probablY he 25~/$100 of insurance; if the property were oot in a designated area the insurance could be lower or could go perhapG as high as 50~/$100 of insurance. He added that he is not convinced th~t eWCB must review and approve the flood studies. After further discussion regarding insurance and building in a floodplain, Gordon said he had spent a lot of time reviewing Claycomb Engineering's work and feels confident that their calculations meet the town's requirements and would meet eWCB's as well. They are building in a floodplain but only in that portion in which it is legal to do so as long as certain requirements are met. The project does conform with the Town's regulations regarding building in a floodplain. Nick Goluba, attorney for Bert Lewis, said that L'Estrange1s memo hits the nail on the head. eWCB wants an opportunity to check the engineer's figures and they have been given that opportunity. eWCB also recommends a larger study in cooperation with Pitkin and Eagle Counties which is a lengthy process and has no bearing on the applications before the Board tonight. Darien asked if the town would be .responsible for the bUildings at Hyde Park in the event of a flood. Milwid said no as long as the codes are followed. He suggested that a condition of approval of the Amended PUD Master Plan be that, if applicable and required by law, as determined by the town attorney, the eWCB revi.ew and approve the developer's flood plain study prior to final plat approval. lIe felt it would be prudent for the town to reserve that right. L'Estrange pointed out that the Town Hall is in the 100 year floodplain. Trustee Carney asked about the wetlands condition. Liston said it is there for the -town's protection and it appears tpat the Corps map L' Estrange has shows that the lots in question are not in wetlands. L'Estrange said he spoke with ACOE Sander's who advised him that determination would have to be done on site. He also said that a condition of approval requires that the wetlands issue be resolved prior to Phase II. Ron Liston said he would like to address several issues that came up at the last Board meeting. The first was the fact that ~ome lots in Phase II would be isolated in the event of a 100 year flood. He said he could assure the Board that there.will always be access to those lots and that engineering detail would be shown when final engineering is oone for Phase II. The roads will be designed so that there will be no floodiog over them. The second issue was that recreation facilities were to be built with Phase II; they have been relocated to occur ~ith Phase 1. The t~ird concern was direct access of the first 4 lots in Phase I to the maiO access road. He presented a sketch to the Board which places those lots on a secondary road. He said that sketch would be incorporated into the final plat for Phase I. The Board then discussed how the project would be affected by the currently pr~p~s~d highwa~ bypass alignment. It was shown that if the.bypass is bUIlt .It would Isolate Phase I from Phase II but would not Isolate lots within each Phase from each other. Elmer Claycomb noted that where the wet lane issue might be a problem for the Hyde Park developers, it would also be a problem for the Highway Dept. who must face exa.ctly the same restrictions any developer must face. Liston added that the floodplain issue would affect the bypass alignment also. Trustee Grant expressed some concern for odd shaped lots and roads if the highway goes through. Liston said the highway
