Cityr IU Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 these drainage issues were identified in the Improvement Plan and also in the recent Coal Creek Ranch HOA survey completed in November 2013. Kevin Norby stated that he understands the drainage issues and their effect on his design. Jeff Cordes then stated that when the RFP went out for bid it was specific to golf course improvements only and did not cover the runoff or drainage issues. Dennis then brought our attention to Item 30 on the RFP — which states minor drainage is to be addressed. It was suggested that we need to decide what event we are designing for and determine what storm we are rebuilding for. It was accepted that long -term flood mitigation was outside the scope of the current plan. • The potential for damage from a major storm has not been addressed as being outside the scope of the present contracts. David Moore informed us that the urban drainage study that is in process is outside of the scope for major flood control and would need more engineering study. • An attempt was made to define minor drainage repair vs. major drainage repair. Minor repairs would be to address issues on a common -sense basis without needing a full engineering or design study. Major repairs are items that require a full hydrology and engineering study on a larger scale than just the golf course and involve a full liability assessment. • The LU contract does not extend to correcting flooding issues The Board agree to look into what is causing the excess water and then determine if any minor changes are possible that will help the drainage issues. Since this is not part of the Golf Course Remediation and Improvement, the City or the adjoining HOA may have to fund for HOA specific issues e.g. driveway drainage. • The Board noted that moving the #4 tee boxes approximately five feet to the left would be a benefit. Kevin Norby said he already moved it approximately 5 feet and is concerned that moving it further might put it into the flood plain but he is not certain exactly where it is. He is awaiting a flood plain map to ascertain if we can move it further as requested. The reason to move further is so that the tees will more directly aim golf shots down the middle right side of the fairway and away from the cart path which is recommended to move to the left side. • Mark Valee, who lives on hole #2 stated his concerns regarding the new location of the forward tee on hole #2 and the safety of the homes on that hole. He then asked if we would consider moving the new forward tee away from the neighboring yards and if more trees could be planted for privacy. Kevin Norby agreed to look at moving the forward tee further away from private property. Adding additional trees will be discussed with Chris Lichty, the City Forester.
