NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission that it does hereby grant stream margin approval for a bridge crossing the Roaring Fork River near the Ute Children Park with the following Resolution No. 92-____ Page 2 conditions' 1. Conditions prior to construction' a. A construction and site drainage plan and procedure must be submitted and approved to the engineering department. The construction procedures employed must be such that no runoff from rain or snowmelt be permitted to drain to the river from contact with the disturbed earth. The construction procedure used will in no way impact the river. b. Tree removal permits are required from the Parks Department before any trees greater than 6" in caliper may be removed. c. Necessary permits, or written acknowledgement that a permit is not required, shall be obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers and/or the Department of Wildlife and provided to the engineering department. e. The engineering department recommends that either a subsurface soils exploration report or visual inspection of excavation be performed by a registered soils engineer to determine sufficient bearing capacity for the designed concrete structures. f. Stamped drawings by design engineer must be submitted. 2. General Conditions' a. As the drawings indicate, construction staking must be in place before commencement of construction confirming that the bridges are located on the properties indicated in the application. The survey as submitted in the application should be expanded to include the eastern abutment currently not shown. Upon completion of the bridges an as-built mylar must be submitted to the engineering department prepared by a registered land surveyor, that includes new easements, and bridge locations in relation to property boundaries. b. Inspections and testing shall be performed at the direction of the engineer. It is recommended that inspections be performed prior to the placement of concrete, for the placement of concrete and for any compaction of backfill. It also recommended that testing be performed for concrete strength and density of compaction. Resolution No. 92-____ Page 3 c. The applicant is required to plant any regraded or disturbed area with species keeping with the Roaring Fork Greenway Plan as well as existing plants in the area. d. The construction site drainage plan and procedure shall particularly address how it will maintain the existing slope and vegetation at the eastern abutment as indicated on the profile view looking downstream. It appears that it will be difficult to prevent the erosion or sloughing of this bank during the course of construction. 3. Ail representations that have been made in the application and during the presentation shall be adhered to. 4. Prior to construction of the bridge, stream margin for the trail along the river shall be reviewed and approved. 5.
