Pond at 3 St. Finnbar
Pre-App Application Form.pdf
Hetl,o Tom,
I did a search on the Colorado Division of Water Resources and found the PondAffe[l Permit, the Basatt
Water Conservation District Contract #863 was submitted with the appl.ication. lt appears the rights to
fitt the pond are in order.
I met with Gtenn this morning to discuss the 100 Year Ftood Ptain and the Wettands delineation. I
discovered the 35' setback from a "Waterbody", in the Land Use and Devetopment Code, inctudes
Wetlands in the definition. The pond is shown within the 35' setback from the Wetl,and detineation.
A Pre-App with Gtenn to discuss options is the next step. Attached is the Pre-App form, ptease fitt it out
and send it to Gtenn to set up a meeting.
Sincerety,
John Ptano

There is a 35'Riparian Zone measured from the high-water mark, on each side of the creek, where NO
vegetation can be disturbed.
Any work within the 100-year ftood ptain witl, require a Flood Ptain Permit. There wil,t be some engineering

RE: Grading for the pond...
HiSam,
l'm stitt in question about the submittal, regarding the water rights to fitt the pond. We spoke to an
engineer with the Basal,t Water Conservancy District; he stated this pond witt be partiatty fitted with
ground water and topped off with the Middte Ditch. Because of the ground water situation an additional
permit is required f rom the Division of Water Resources (DWR), a Pond Wel't Permit, CC'd. The drawings
submitted indicate the soil, from the pond excavation is being pl.aced in the 100-year ftood ptain.

Before any excavation is to take ptace, DWR permit is to be approved and a meeting with Gtenn is
required.
