MEMORANDUM
TO: P&Z Commission Chair and Commissioners
CC: Bruce Freckleton, Joseph Dodson, Warren Stewart, David Bailey, Kevin Craig
FROM: Amanda McNutt, Land Development Supervisor
RE: Mile High Pines
The Civil Engineer for the Mile High Pines project has submitted conceptual drawings to me for
review which appear to meet Public Works standards, including all permanent structures being
outside of the footprint of the City easement(s).
The City easement language states that the "Grantor will not place or allow to be placed any
permanent structures, trees, brush, or perennial shrubs or flowers within the area described for
[the] easement". This has been the standard language for many years. Unfortunately, there have
been occasions where encroachments on the City easement have not come up as a point of
discussion in the preliminary design for projects, and this has caused issues later on in the review
and approval of those projects. To that end, Land Development and Public Works were
addressing the easement encroachment issue with this project early so as to avoid problems
further along in the design process. Similarly, I had asked for more information on service line
design from the project engineer to ensure they had a plan in place that would fall within our
standards.
The project engineer has demonstrated to me that they have a plan in place to accommodate the
Public Works easements and appropriate service line design.
