RE: Gordon - Stream Margin Review
DATE: May 17, 1979
The Planning Office has received an application requesting stream margin
review for the construction of a single family residence on the Sheldon Gordon
property. You will recall having reviewed several applications relating to this
property in the past. At the present time the property is in the process of
being subdivided into two parcels. This requested stream margin review approval
is in relation to the removal of the existing residence on the parcel and the
replacement of that residence with a new one.
Dave Ellis of the City Engineering Department has reviewed the application
and comments that, "There appear to be no problems in terms of the flood plain
hazzards since the building site is from 15 to 20 feet above the maximum flood
stage of the Roaring Fork River as shown on the U.S. Corps of Engineers Flood
Plain Report. The grading for the improvements would also be sufficiently removed
from the river as not to create any adverse impacts on the stream channel or
vegetation." A site inspection was conducted today specifically with regard to
the location of a needed public trail easement paralleling the river. The
applicant's attorney, Tom Wells, is in agreement that the location for that trail
is the best location possible. Prior to the final approval of the subdivision,
that trail easement will need to be precisely defined and platted on the sub-
division plat.
At this time the Planning Office and the Engineering Department recommends
approval of the stream margin review subject to the grant of a trail easement.

RE: Gordon Stream Margin Review
In reviewing this project it would appear that there are no problems in terms of
flood plane hazard since the building site is from 15 -20 feet above the maximum
flood stage of the Roaring Fork River as shown on the US Corps of Engineers Flood
Plane Report. The grading for the improvements would also be sufficiently removed
from the river so as not to create any adverse impacts on the stream channel or
vegetation.
The dedicaiton of a public trail easement paralleling the river and below the
building site has been discussed with the applicant's architect and we would recommend
that this be made a condition of the approval. The site inspection is scheduled
prior to the May 22 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting so that there should be
a concensus as to the location of the trail by the time of the meeting.
Subject to the grant of a trail easement the Engineering Department recommends
approval of the stream margin review.
