Louisville City Council Meeting September 2, 2003 Page 5 of 9 Applicant Presentation: Mark M. Scholfield, Wilson & Company, 999 18th Street, Suite 2600, Denver, CO explained the original design was prepared with reduced clearance, and received railroad approval. He noted the railroad then stipulated the reduced clearance was not acceptable. On August 20, 2003, they met with the railroad and asked for a compromise solution, which would allow for the new design. He noted it required the redesign of an outside pier, moving the ditch back behind the pier to permit more space for the railw~iy expansion, and a design for a new retaining wall. MOTION: Sisk moved that Council approve the Amendment of Profession Engineering Service Agreement for the Highway 42/96th Street project, seconded by Van Pelt. Brown asked if the design would accommodate the commuter rail. Phare stated his understanding it would accommodate up to three rails. VOTE: Roll call vote was taken. The motion passed by a vote of 7-0. RESOLUTION NO. 26, SERIES 2003 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE AND THE NORTHERN COLORADO WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT TO RELOCATE THE DISTRICTS'S PIPELINE Davidson called for Staff presentation. Public Works Director Tom Phare explained the agreement between the City of Louisville and'Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District would relocate the District's pipeline. The District's raw water pipeline provides water to the Town of Superior and crosses 96th Street on the south end of the MedTec property. Because of the cuts placed on the existing crossing of the railroad, the pipeline must be relocated. The pipeline will be relocated on the east side of the rail through an easement obtained from a lot owner in CTC. Staff requested Council approval and authorization for the Mayor to execute the Agreement. The relocation is necessary to complete the South 97th Street By- Pass improvements and the costs associated with the relocation of the pipeline have been included in the South 96th Street project budget. MOTION: Brown moved that Council approve Resolution No. 26, Series 2003, and authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement to Relocate the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD) Pipeline, seconded by Sisk.
