AGENDA INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NEDERLAND BOARD OF TRUSTEES Meeting Date: September 16, 2014 Prepared By: Alisha Reis Dept: Administration Consent_____Information_____ Discussion ____ Action __ X ___
_____________________________________________________________________ AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of contract award for On-call Engineering Services SUMMARY:
The Town is in need of engineering support from time to time, mainly to support reviews of land use proposals and for design of Town projects, such as those identified in the adopted Master Infrastructure Plan. Colorado and many other states subscribe to a standard of procurement for such services based upon qualifications, which informed the Town’s two-step process for procuring engineering services (issuing Request for Qualifications, then negotiating scope for project budget and/or issuing Request for Proposals to do the same). Having access to pre-qualified firms to consult with will maximize flexibility and quality of project work. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued June 11, after it was sent to the Board for review. Trustee Charles Wood volunteered to work with Town staff members in the submittal review, interview, vetting, and background check process. Staff members on the selection team included Town Administrator Alisha Reis, Utilities Supervisor Chris Pelletier, and former contract staff engineer and project manager Mark Weritz. The Town received nine submittals in answer to our RFQ. The team narrowed the firms for interview to five. One firm withdrew from consideration after a change in company dynamics left them unable to address the work. That left four – Boulder-based JVA Inc., Wheat Ridge-based RG & Associates, Boulder-based F&D International, and Lakewood-based Martin Martin. Upon interviews and background reviews, the team recommended retaining JVA Inc. (http://www.jvajva.com/) and RG & Associates (http://www.rgengineers.com/) for these contracts. Both teams represent the ability and variant approaches needed for Town work, from land use proposal review to larger projects, as needed. The team cited the quality of each firm’s abilities, experience, grant/funding familiarity, and understanding of Nederland’s needs in their recommendation.
BOT Packet 2014.09.16 130 of 270
The firms can be called upon more quickly to submit cost proposals for projects and to begin work, without the lengthy required RFQ-then-RFP process required by Colorado law for design and engineering professionals. QUESTION BEFORE THE BOARD:
Does the Board wish to award the Town’s on-call engineering service contracts to JVA Inc. and RG & Associates and to direct staff to return contracts for final approval at the Board’s next meeting?
HISTORY AND PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION:
The Town on June 11, 2014 issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for firms to provide on-call engineering services on a contract basis with the Town. The RFQ was widely posted (Rocky Mountain eBids, other online sources, and newspapers). Nine firms submitted qualifications packages.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Projects would be assigned and scoped individually prior to completion of the work, and would be subject to annual budget allocations.
JVA’s hourly rates (page 16 of submittal):
As requested, we have provided a schedule of costs for on-call services, and have given a 10% discount to the Town for our hourly rates. Typically hourly rates are used for general services, while individual projects have a negotiated fee. Schedule of Fees

Capital Improvement Planning
JVA has extensive experience in capital planning with
many districts and municipalities including the Town
of Nederland, Town of Mead, Pueblo West
Metropolitan District, Jefferson County School
District, Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District,
Mount Vernon Country Club Metropolitan District,
and Aspen Park Metropolitan District.
The capital improvement plan (CIP) is often considered
routine and intended to address short term deficiencies,
and is not necessarily developed with a big picture
approach. At JVA, we believe a CIP is an opportunity
for the Town to fully utilize available resources to
develop a cost-effective road map for the future.
A CIP presents the Town with the ability to plan for
the best near-term and long-term use of existing
facilities and infrastructure. We believe the best
avenue to the development of a successful CIP begins
with an understanding of where the Town is, and
where they want to go. A significant amount of this
information is developed through a good master plan.
Once completed, the master plan can be used to
identify deficiencies in the infrastructure of the
community. Capital improvements can then be
prioritized and initiated in a timely manner to meet
community goals.
The existing infrastructure, near and long term, the
need for new or expanded facilities and the timeline
for these improvements will be identified along with
opinions of probable costs.
ACSD WWTF Under Construction
BOT Packet 2014.09.16 140 of 270
Town of Nederland On-Call Engineering 7
Our approach to the CIP is to assist the Town in getting
the most infrastructure improvements for your money.
Our CIP will prioritize capital improvements so that
initial funds spent have positive impacts on the Town
and its residents. Our CIP will also assist the Town in
preparing for future improvements and securing
finances for these improvements in a timely manner.
Our approach to the CIP will address the existing
infrastructure in two phases. Phase 1 will include the
investigation and recommendations for any near-term
modifications that can be accomplished on to address
reliability with respect to the relative function and
service. Phase 2 would address a longer-range plan
that would consider long term demand requirements
and potential alternative. Close communication with
the Town will be necessary to develop each of these
Phases.
Storm Drainage Design
JVA has extensive experience in the design of storm
drainage facilities. We are capable of guiding the
project development to maximize flood protection,
sediment and pollutant control, and detention capacity
throughout larger areas. Competence with water
resource projects allow close collaboration between
JVA and the City in developing programs to manage
water and land resources that protect the environment
and at the same time provide long-term use of these
resources for flood protection, development,
agriculture, recreation, and other purposes.
JVA engineers have also been involved in the
production of numerous stormwater management
plans and are familiar with the national stormwater
discharge permit process. Water quality enhancement
from construction sites and innovative, sustainable
erosion control features are an integral part of the
JVA design approach.
JVA staff is adept at working with the local
municipalities and Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment (CDPHE) staff to obtain
stormwater management permits, and we produce
clear and concise stormwater management plans,
using the most effective best management practices.
We are very familiar with the recent updates to the
Urban Drainage and Flood Control District’s manuals
of practice in stormwater management.

Fire and emergency vehicle access is an important
concern. In addition to application of AASHTO
standards, we have applied “Autoturn” software to
model the turning movements of fire fighting vehicles
as required in several recent review submissions to
the governing Fire Districts.
JVA’s design team is also very knowledgeable in the
ADA accessibility codes. We design all access walks,
landings, and pedestrian corridors with ADA access
issues constantly in mind. JVA has provided street
intersection, turn lanes, and acceleration lanes for
many, if not all, metro area jurisdictions utilizing
local, state, and federal criteria.

realignment of pressure zones, additional water mains
and new pump stations.
Our staff is well versed in the State and EPA
Drinking Water Regulations and have good working
relationships with EPA Region 8 and CDPHE
engineering and water permitting staff. Our regulatory
experience includes construction approval
applications, Public Water System capacity planning
and application processes including the Safe Drinking
Water Information System (SDWIS) data form, and
the Stage 2 DBP and other submittal processes.

Construction Management
Managing the construction process starts with an
excellent set of construction documents. We pride
ourselves on producing plans and specifications that
are clear to contractors and comprehensive enough to
protect the owners. All aspects of the construction
process is specified so everyone involved knows the
expectations before construction begins. This process
is again covered in detail during the preconstruction
meeting.
We keep the Owner informed every step of the way
by submitting an explanation or recommendation
letter with pay requests, RFI’s, change orders, and
geotechnical materials and compaction testing report
review. We also provide progress memos, complete
with photos of construction.
We are constantly improving our engineering product.
This attention to detail is reflected in our clear and
concise bid documents. Our standards for design
drawings and specifications result in bid documents
that enable contractors to bid our projects with
confidence. Well prepared construction documents
also enable us to respond quickly and effectively to
issues that arise during construction, reducing project
cost overruns.
We will also be available to attend construction
meetings. As the field engineer we take into
consideration your goal in obtaining the best project
that your funds are being used for. With our
experience in submittal review and on-site
observation skills we are able to ensure that the
equipment is the quality you have paid for, and that it
is installed correctly. Our goal is to fairly represent
the Owner in all aspects of the construction phase of
services.
JVA completes the record drawings for the project
based on the redlines provided by the general
contractor. These drawings will be delivered to the
City in a hard copy and digital AutoCad files.
Experience Working with Multiple
Agencies
Our staff takes a proactive approach in obtaining the
necessary permits required for a successful project –
we always meet with local regulatory agencies before
proceeding with our design. This initial step allows us
to work with the regulating body(s), to obtain buy-in,
head off issues that could interrupt a timely approval
process, and to ensure that our projects run smoothly.
FEMA/Flood
JVA retains experienced staff that are proficient in
floodplain studies and floodplain development. We
often have projects with floodplain modeling and
we are active CASFM members and Certified
Floodplain Managers (CFMs). JVA uses this
experience to advise our clients of the latest
floodplain regulations and requirements. JVA has
designed channels for floodplain conveyance and
mitigation, and we have also recently designed
several riparian improvement and habitat
enhancement projects in the Fraser River basin.
JVA’s general stormwater related experience is
extensive and includes development review of
stormwater facilities, floodplain modifications
including CLOMR/LOMR preparation along with
associated analysis using HEC-RAS, and
detention and water quality pond configurations.
“You do excellent work, have a vast

Familiarity with the Town of Nederland
JVA has been developing a strong relationship with
the Town of Nederland for several years, and we are
intimately familiar with much of the Town systems.
We have been most recently involved with the Master
Infrastructure Plan, Sanitary Sewer Repair Project,
Raw Water Intake Structure, and Clearlogx which
have all been summarized below.
With our history of working with the Town, we have
a great understanding on the potential challenges and
opportunities in the Town of Nederland. We have
appreciated the opportunity to serve the Town on the
projects we have performed so far, and look forward
to continuing our long term relationship. We strive to
develop creative and comprehensive solutions that are
both innovative and practical to serve the Town for
the long term. With the Town’s support a lot has
been able to be accomplished in a relatively short
amount of time. The topography, soils, climate,
limited Town resources, high groundwater, cultural,
and political diversity make up a unique matrix of
challenges that need to address with any project in the
Town of Nederland. We look at these challenges
more as an opportunity to do something resourceful
and original than as an obstacle to what is possible.
These characteristics make us a good fit to serve as
the Town’s On-Call Engineer and hope to continue on
existing relationship with the Town well into the
future. We hope our experience with the Town will
grow as we feel that JVA and the Town have similar
ideals. As mentioned earlier in this RFP, our current
and projected workload is steady and we see the
Town of Nederland as one of our key clients. We feel
strongly that we can accommodate the needs and
requirements noted in the RFQ scope of services. We
are located less than 20 miles from the Town and can
easily serve Town staff on a moment’s notice from
our Boulder office.
Raw Water Intake Structure
This project involved design and construction
administration of a new raw water intake and
diversion structure for the Town of Nederland's water
treatment facility (WTF). The old intake structure
exhibited problems maintaining reliable flow, icing in
the winter and did not have coarse screening for
influent organic debris. The goal of the project was to
maintain a minimum elevation at the direct water
intake structure, provide for alternate draw offs with
different elevations and provide superior influent
screening. The intake
improvements include
replacing the existing
direct intake pipe,
constructing a permanent
cast-in-place diversion
wall and rip rap cross
vane weirs bisecting Middle Boulder Creek. As
proposed, a concrete headwall will prevent bank
erosion and facilitate the addition of a new stainless
steel vertical fine screen. The permanent diversion
wall will eliminate continual maintenance and the
cross vane rip rap weirs will ensure water level is
above the new intake screen while enabling fish to
travel up or downstream.
Sanitary Sewer Repair Project
JVA is currently performing work under FEMA

water diversion and intake improvements. JVA also
worked with operations staff to develop a list of SOPs
and assisted in further training.
WTF Clearlogx Improvements
JVA has recently assisted with permitting and design
for installation of a new chemical control system at
the water treatment facility. After careful
consideration, the Town selected the Evoqua
Clearlogx (formerly Siemens) system to enhance
plant operations, improve

Supporting Information
Community Outreach
JVA has focused our civil engineering service on the
smaller communities in Colorado. We have
performed numerous water and wastewater plant
designs, facility upgrades, evaluations, and utility
plan preparation for small systems and most of these
systems have required some level of public
presentation of the alternatives considered and
consensus building for the preferred alternative. We
understand that the role of a consulting engineer is not
just the technical performance, but effective
communications.
The public review process is an ongoing issue that
starts shortly after the project commences and doesn’t
end until the project construction is completed. The
JVA team is adept at working through the public
process from start to finish. We have led many public
information meetings and presented information at
dozens more. We have effectively presented
engineering projects at numerous Town and/or Town
Board meetings. We have participated in many hands-
on community workshops that have enabled the
affected community to be involved in the decision
making process.
The outcome of this public information process is a
design that has buy-in from those individuals that
have a stake in the project. Our combined experience
will ensure that public involvement is productive and
that a general consensus among all involved parties is
achieved.
Sustainable Design
JVA recognizes your need for creative solutions for
your water projects. JVA’s focus on sustainable
design work carries on throughout all of our projects
in terms of commitment to innovative approaches to
the building and the site, and reuse of existing
facilities. We try to live our philosophy that resource
and energy efficiency are the keys to the future.
Kevin Tone designed and built his timber framed
straw bale home, completely solar and off the grid, in
the foothills west of Boulder. Our entire team is
committed to sustainable design and has extensive
experience on water and wastewater work at the
municipal, state, and federal levels. We believe in the
policies and practices of the Green Building Council
and have LEED accredited professionals on staff. We
will integrate wherever possible environmentally
preferred materials and system designs.
Quality Assurance
The JVA team is continuously cost conscience. In
addition, we are experienced in working on both new
and retrofit projects and focus on the ability to reuse
those items that can continue to serve the operation
effectively. We will recommend replacing those that
have outlived their useful life or are well below the
current standard, but will take a hard look at reusing
whatever facilities may have continued service
potential.
We also believe the key to maintaining project status
is to meet with the Client on a regular basis.
Depending on the scope of the project, we might
propose to make monthly progress meetings a
productive and effective time to solicit Client input
and review the documents during key decision points
in the process. During all projects where schedule is
an issue, JVA will always look for ways to reduce the
schedule’s critical path time by simultaneously
performing tasks that do not rely on one another.
We still believe the key to good cost and schedule
tracking is communication and will meet frequently
as a project team to coordinate as the project
progresses.
The JVA team is committed to excellence in our
service to our clients. The JVA team recognizes that
true service to the client is more than quality
engineering. Quality in JVA projects is maintained by
several important factors:
• Our similar work on past projects of similar
scope promotes efficiency

CDPHE State Revolving Fund
JVA has extensive experience assisting communities
in obtaining State Revolving Fund (SRF) grants and
loans. This funding source can be used for
infrastructure planning, engineering and construction.
Direct loans are available to the Town for up to
$2,000,000 and leveraged loans for larger amounts.
Direct loans have an interest rate of 1.0 percent based
on your MHI and a term of 20 or 30 years. JVA has
worked extensively with CDPHE and the Colorado
Water and Power Development Authority and will
assist the Town with the application and loan
processing. Loan applications will be prepared by
JVA if the Town decides on the SRF funding option.
In January of each year, as funds are available,
CDPHE accepts applications for SRF Planning
Grants. These grants are offered to Towns with
populations under 10,000 people and who are on the
WPCRF Eligibility List. We will confirm that the
Town is on the Eligibility List for 2014. These grants
are awarded on a first- come, first-served basis, so
timing is crucial.
JVA’s staff has assisted the following communities in
obtaining SRF Loans and Grants:
• Town of Bennett - $10,000 planning grant and
$264,000 loan
• Crested Butte South Metro District –
$2,300,00 loan
• Town of Mead - $3,000,000 loan
• Mountain View Villages Water and Sanitation
District - $10,000 planning grant and
$1,500,000 loan (0% APR)
• Town of Rye - $10,000 planning grant and

• Town of Windsor - $3,000,000 loan
We have developed excellent relationships with the
CDPHE Financial Solutions unit staff. Please call
Michael Beck, Program Manager at 303-692-3374 for
a reference on JVA’s superior level of service.
Additional Funding Sources
At JVA, we continually educate ourselves about
funding opportunities, status of financial assistance
programs and new funding opportunities. When
Congress passed the American Reinvestment and
Recovery Act (ARRA) we contacted CDPHE
Financial Solutions Unit and familiarized ourselves
with the process of obtaining water and wastewater
funding. JVA met all of the rigorous submittal
deadlines for two of our small community clients and
were successful in obtaining over JVA assisted the
following communities in obtaining ARRA funding:
• Town of Rye– $1,968,000
• Mesa County (Mack) - $2,200,000 (Pending)
CDPHE also set aside over $600,000 in ARRA funds
for Small System Training and Technical Assistance
(SSTTA) grants. Again, JVA became aware of the
opportunity through our constant communications
with CDPHE financial assistance program
representatives. We rushed to submit applications for
four of our small community clients and two of them
were successful. JVA assisted the following
communities in obtaining SSTTA Grants:
• Town of Rye – $25,000
• Park Water Company – $75,000
• Hidden Valley Mutual Water Company –
$25,000
The USEPA distributes State and Tribal Assistance
Grants (STAG) to the states for environmental
projects including water and wastewater. This source
requires a US Senator or Representative from

SECTION 4: PROJECT EXPERIENCE/REFERENCES The RGA team has specialized in providing on-call/as-needed engineering and construction management ser-vices since 1986, including on-call services to the Town of Nederland. Our team has 28 years of experience providing the following services:
Examples of recent projects similar in nature to those anticipated by the Town of Nederland, include the fol-lowing:
2013 Flood Repair Project Client: Town of Estes Park, Colorado Completion Date: 2014 – On-going Contact: Scott Zurn, Director of Public Works, 970-577-3582 Description: This project consists of 28 separate repair areas, including establishing construction ease-ments, survey pins, repairs and replacements for roadways, trails, retaining walls, repairs to asphalt, con-crete, bridges, swales, embankments, and slope stabilization. RGA bid and contracted work for the fol-lowing areas, design survey, geotechnical and environmental reports and evaluations. RGA is producing design plans, contract documents, cost estimates, and will be responsible for advertising, bidding, and construction management/inspection of these projects. As part of this work RGA is coordinating with Estes Park, all utility providers, obtaining all clearances and permits. In addition RGA will ensure that all work complies with the Town of Estes Park, CDOT, and FEMA requirements and regulations. RGA will also produce and maintain all the project documentation for com-pliance.
Roadway and Drainage Improvements and Drainage Master Plan Client: Town of Buena Vista, Colorado Completion Date: Ongoing Contact: Rich Landreth, Town Manager, 719-395-6898 x5 Description: RGA is working on several projects with the Town of Buena Vista that include both roadway improvements and drainage master planning. We have incorporated several innovative drainage solu-tions to roadway improvement projects that range from gutter “turnouts” that direct stormwater to tree lawns which capture runoff before it reaches the street; open bottom infiltration inlets; infiltration galler-ies in the gutter pans; and roadside ditches that capture and treat water via longitudinal gravel beds and the use of roadside ditches as linear detention/water quality facilities. The drainage master plan, presently in progress, directs and dictates numerous smaller facilities such as tree lawns, infiltration galleries, roadside ditch controlled containment, use of baseball and sport fields for detention and water quality infiltration, instead of a singular one-size-fits-all regional facility. This ap-proach uses a green storm water infrastructure and local water quality capture-in-place of large pipe sys-tems and discharges to the Arkansas River as fast as possible, which allows using the storm water runoff by the Town of Buena Vista to supplement irrigation.

West Oxford Street Roadway Rehabilitation Client: City of Sheridan, Colorado Completion Date: 2014 Contact: Randy Mourning, Superintendent of Public Works, 303-762-2200 Description: RGA is currently designing 1,400 LF of a major arterial road in the City of Sheridan that included complete replacement from right-of-way to right-of-way and coordination with DRCOG and CDOT. RGA Personnel: Ricardo Gonçalves, P.E., Principal; James Landry, P.E., Project Manager, Roadway Engineering Lowell Boulevard Improvements at Mountain View Terrace Client: City and County of Broomfield, Colorado Completion Date: 2011 Contact: Dan Feller, CIP Project Manager, 303-438 6356 Description: RGA provided the design and construction administration for widening Lowell Boulevard be-tween 125th and 128th to the standard connector section. The work included a geotechnical assessment and pavement design report and a Drainage Study. RGA Personnel: Ricardo Gonçalves, P.E., Principal; James Landry, P.E., Project Manager, Roadway Engineering; Gary Welp, P.E., CFM, Drainage Engineering; Mike Hager, Construction Management and Inspection City of Dacono Street Rehabilitation Project Client: City of Dacono, Colorado Contact: Jon Rabas, Public Works Director, 303-598-9258 RGA performed the design, prepared the plans, specifications and bid documents, conducted the bidding process, and provided the construction administration for this 3-year, 3-phase $9 million project. The project consisted of removing and replacing all of the existing asphalt pavement, most of the sidewalk, curb, and gut-ters, all of the cross pans, installing new handicap ramps, and new storm drain inlets and pipes in the “Old Town” portion of the City. The project also included replacing all of the water mains and services, installing new meters, and replacing a large portion of the sanitary sewer system.
A. List the firm’s qualifications to perform the work of the size and nature described in this RFQ. We have completed similar work successfully for Broomfield, Sheridan, Buena Vista and Estes Park recently. The second is that RGA specializes in on-call engineering; it is virtually all we do. We currently represent 27 special dis-tricts, towns, and cities as their “on-call” engineer, many as their engineer of record. The work load for these clients varies, so that we are never working for all of them at the same time, which allows us to schedule our staff to new projects as they arise. These projects are generally smaller projects of short duration. We are always able to sched-ule staff because our personnel are not working on large projects for months or years at a time, but rather smaller projects with days and weeks of durations. Many of these entities have retained our on-call engineering services for over 10 years, and some for more than 20 years. We have, therefore, developed a continuity of knowledge that al-lows us to roll into and out of on-call projects for each client with tremendous efficiency. B. Provide specific firm qualifications to perform the general work described in this request in-cluding available resources, and recent, current and projected workload. RGA’s existing workload, as well as our anticipated workload over the next 12 months, is such that most of our cur-rent and upcoming projects are of short duration which allows us the flexibility to assign personnel to new on-call projects on short notice. Approximately 90% of the services provided by RGA are on-call in nature, and our team is accustomed to moving personnel to a new project with relatively short notice. With a staff of 22 professional engineers, designers, planners, construction administrators, drafting and support personnel, RGA has the depth of staff to ensure that a qualified team is available for immediate assignment to Town of Nederland projects. All of the personnel listed in the proposal, including sub-consultants, will be available for immediate assignment to Town of Nederland projects, and will remain with the work for its duration. Although we

do not anticipate it, RGA would be able to hire additional personnel, if necessary. If, however, this becomes necessary, our philosophy is to put new hires on projects for out established clients, and put experienced per-sonnel on projects for new clients. Due to the economic conditions since 2008, the current RGA staff is about half of what it used to be. We have survived, however, and are beginning to grow again. The important point here is that our team, most of whom have been with us for over 10 years, is well adapted and experienced with operating the firm with a larger staff. Thus, new hires would not be a problem. C. Discuss similar services and provide references concerning past performance including abil-ity to meet schedules, cost control, and contract administration. The references listed below can testify to our past performance on various projects.

D. Discuss the firm’s familiarity with the Nederland area.
RGA is familiar with and has worked for the Town of Nederland in providing site plan processing and erosion control inspections for the existing public works building. We are also knowledgeable with the needs of mountain communities having completed work in Central City providing both develop-ment review for various projects and construction management for the Cen-tral City Parkway. RGA also works for the Town of Estes Park and has pro-vided drainage master plans, design of roadways and water system, design of the Bond Park pedestrian and festival area, performed construction manage-ment for the new fairgrounds and, most currently, flood relief design and construction management for areas ravaged by the September 2013 floods.
E. Discuss avoidance of conflict of interest. RGA is not presently nor previously involved in any projects or with any clients that would present a conflict of in-terest with work in the Town of Nederland. F. Describe any special capabilities of your firm, such as technical innovations, community out-
reach, financial assistance, cost effectiveness, permitting, etc. RGA has been successful in obtaining grants and loans for our various clients and a short list of those we have been able to assist is provided below.
RGA has also provided community outreach to the Town of Milliken, Town of Estes Park, Town of Lyons, and Fair-ways Metropolitan District during the September 2013 floods. RGA has also volunteered during the Sheridan Cele-brates community parade and festival and the City of Dacono annual community shares gathering at the city park.

AGENDA INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NEDERLAND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Meeting Date: September 16, 2014 Prepared By: Alisha Reis Dept: Planning & Zoning Information Action X Discussion
AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of a Special Review Use (SRU) permit application by Wendy Williams for a multi-family residence at 439 W. 3rd Street.
SUMMARY:
Williams outlines her proposal for a conversion of an existing single family residence into a duplex (classified as a multi-family residential use) in the attached application and narrative. The proposed building footprint will increase by 881 square feet upon a 15,854-square foot parcel. The applicant proposes to enlarge an existing single family residence to a multi- family residence. The zoning for the property is Neighborhood Commercial (NC). The Planning Commission reviewed the application and conducted the required public hearing on August 27, 2014. No public spoke regarding the application. The Planning Commission voted to approve the SRU application and agreement without conditions. HISTORY AND PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTION:
The property was built in 1920 and purchased by Williams in June 2014. There is no previous history or commission action noted within the property file. Analysis
The Board must consider the application under the following Nederland Municipal Code (NMC) Criteria and Conditions:
(1) Is eligible for a special review under Section 16-32
Section 16-32 Use Groups: Multi-family residential uses are permitted within the Neighborhood Commercial zoning district as a Special Review Use.
(2) Is generally compatible with adjacent land uses
The parcel is surrounded mainly by single family homes; however, BOT Packet 2014.09.16 209 of 270
there is a multi-family complex located nearby at 550 W. 3rd Street (affectionately known as Smurf Village). There are also commercially oriented businesses to the north of this complex. Given these surroundings and the fact that the project’s location is near to the highway, the proposal is generally compatible with the mixed uses in the area. The proposed use appears to be compatible with adjacent land uses.
(3) Meets all requirements of Section 16-52, is in compliance with this Chapter and minimizes potential adverse impact of the special review use on adjacent properties
All requirements of Section 16-52 have been met.
Parking Requirements The Municipal Code directs that parking requirements for multi-family residential uses be set at 1 space per bedroom, using the parking requirements table (NMC Sec. 16-202) as a guide, requiring a total of 4 spaces for the proposed duplex.
(4) Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
The plan does conform to some of the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, such as: Housing Update NMC to reflect the guidance of the Future Land Use Map,
encouraging focused development and redevelopment of mixed use and multi-family housing projects.
Land Use Encourage a variety of land uses that meet the needs of a diverse
array of residents, including neighborhoods, goods and services, and business and employment.
(5) The Town has the capacity to serve the proposed use with water,
sewer, and fire and police protection.
The Town does have the capacity to serve the proposed use with utilities and emergency services.
QUESTIONS BEFORE THE BOARD:
1) Does the Board wish to approve the Special Review Use request and agreement as presented?
2) Does the Board have any conditions it would like to attach to the application?
BOT Packet 2014.09.16 210 of 270
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Town staff has reviewed the application, determined it to meet all requirements of the Municipal Code and the guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission reviewed the application on August 27, 2014 and voted unanimously to approve the SRU application and agreement as presented. ATTACHMENTS:

______________________________________________________________________ AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of a Special Review Use (SRU) permit application for a multi-family residence at 253 W. 3rd Street for Arthur Amacher. SUMMARY:
Amacher outlines his proposal for a duplex plus a shed (three units) in the attached application and narrative. The proposed building footprint will not change upon the 11,456-square foot parcel. The existing house is a pre-established non-conforming multi-family use, per Town utility billing and property records, and was considered as such upon application review by Town staff and the Planning Commission. The code allows for continuation of residential non-conforming uses, as long as they comply with the remainder of the code provisions (Sec. 16-181). The zoning for the property is Medium Density Residential (MDR). The Planning Commission reviewed the application and held a public hearing at their meeting on August 27, 2014. Several residents living on 4th Street (north of the property) spoke to issues with parking from the site, noise, and trash. The Commission voted to approve the use with a number of conditions, including: 1) Approve a multi-family use for the main house only for two units (duplex), 2) The SRU permit is to be non-transferable upon sale of the property; 3) All parking must be contained on the property and not on the adjacent streets; 4) Accessory structures on the site may not be used for any residential occupancy (living); and 5) The permit must be reviewed by Planning Commission and property inspected by the Town’s building department at 12 months from SRU permit approval. All of these conditions have been contained in the attached SRU Agreement. The Planning Commission also discussed the need for an overall policy approach to handling the many informal multi-family uses in town that do not currently
BOT Packet 2014.09.16 233 of 270
have approved SRU permits. The Commission seeks direction on this issue from the Board. HISTORY AND PREVIOUS COMMISSION ACTION:
The property was built in 1930, and purchased by Arthur Amacher in February 2014. The historic use of this house has been as an unpermitted multi-family residence as detailed below. The property was cited by Code Enforcement in July 2014, noting that a Special Review Use permit is required to allow a multi-family residence. This property has been marketed as a multi-family residence, requiring clarification to real estate agents and prospective buyers in 2013 about the allowable use by special review. An addition to the single family dwelling was approved by Boulder County Building Department as of August 2002 for 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and approved per zoning by Nederland Director of Operations Ron Trzepacz. Records indicate that the property converted informally to multi-use at this time. Analysis Nederland Municipal Code (NMC) Criteria and Conditions:
(1) Is eligible for a special review under Section 16-32 Section 16-32 Use Groups: this application falls under Residential Use Groups, as the applicant is proposing a multi-family dwelling unit in the Medium Density Residential (MDR) zoning district, which is an allowance by SRU only.
(2) Is generally compatible with adjacent land uses;
The parcel to the east is a single-story home containing six bedrooms and several bathrooms; to the west are two larger-sized homes containing multiple bedrooms. Many properties in the area are rental homes, some with non-conforming or unpermitted multi-family uses, while others are large single family homes. Also nearby are the Nederland library and Calvary Chapel.
(3) Meets all requirements of Section 16-52, is in compliance with this Chapter and minimizes potential adverse impact of the special review use on adjacent properties; All requirements of Section 16-52 have been met. However, due to the parcel size, it is under the minimum lot size of one dwelling per 8,000 square feet, or size requirement of 16,000 square feet to accommodate the minimum lot requirements for two units.
Parking Requirements The Municipal Code directs that parking requirements for multi-family residential uses to be set at 1 space per bedroom, using the parking
BOT Packet 2014.09.16 234 of 270
requirements table (NMC Sec. 16-202) as a guide, requiring 5 spaces for the existing residence, plus 2 additional spaces for visitors, for a total of 7 required spaces.
(4) Is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and
The plan does conform to some of the policies of the proposed updated Comprehensive Plan, such as: Housing
Update NMC to reflect the guidance of the Future Land Use Map, encouraging focused development and redevelopment of mixed use and multi-family housing projects.
Land Use Encourage a variety of land uses that meet the needs of a diverse
array of residents, including neighborhoods, goods and services, and business and employment.
(5) The Town has the capacity to serve the proposed use with water, sewer, and fire and police protection. The Town does have the capacity to serve the proposed use with utilities, as the existing residence has 4 documented uses currently.
QUESTIONS BEFORE THE BOARD:
Does the Board wish to approve the Special Review Use request and agreement as recommended by the Planning Commission?
Does the Board have any further conditions it would like to attach to the application?
Does the Board wish to offer direction to the Planning Commission related to permitting for informal multi-family uses around the community?
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Town staff has reviewed the application, determined it to meet all requirements of the Municipal Code and the guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission voted 4 to 1 to recommend approval of the property for a two-unit multi-family use, provided several conditions are met. ATTACHMENTS:

AGENDA INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NEDERLAND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Meeting Date: September 16, 2014 Prepared By: Alisha Reis Dept: Administration Consent_____Information_____ Discussion ____ Action __ X ___
_____________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of request for funding related to the DRCOG 2016-2021 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP)
SUMMARY:
Grant applications for the next funding cycle from DRCOG’s Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) are due September 19. The Board heard about this funding from Mayor Joe Gierlach in June. DRCOG released a call for applications on July 28.
At the August 20 DDA meeting, the DDA Board asked Town Administrator Alisha Reis to draft the TIP grant application for two projects – the Lakeview/Highway 72 Intersection Improvement and the Middle Boulder Creek Pedestrian/Emergency Secondary Bridge projects. Both are highlighted in the Town’s Master Infrastructure Plan as important infrastructure projects for the Town and occurring within and important to the DDA business district. Reis attended the mandatory
training on the TIP scoring and process at the end of August and after discussions with CDOT and DRCOG representatives, determined it was worth it to score both projects for TIP grant funding. Both projects fit with CDOT’s desire to get people off the highway and provide multi-modal options from First Street to the Shopping Center, the two main “business districts” in town.
CDOT and DRCOG officials indicated that these projects would also make a good singular project, given that they leverage against each other to provide for better pedestrian, bicyclist and motorist safety and traffic flow in the downtown area. This

may mean a consolidated project would be more competitive in the grant process. Staff seeks direction from the Board of Trustees and the DDA Board about whether to submit the projects as one or not.
The Town would receive notification of approval or denial of funding before the end of the year. If awarded, project funding would become available in July 2016. This would give the DDA time to put the projects into their next debt authorization scheduled for April 2016, in order to provide the required 20 percent local match.
The DRCOG TIP grant was also the funding source for the first phase of the sidewalks project, as well as the NedPeds project that will be built next summer. DRCOG officials said there is no prohibition against applying for further funds when another project is outstanding.
QUESTION BEFORE THE BOARD:
Does the Board wish to approve the DDA’s recommended projects to be submitted to DRCOG as funding requests?
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The DDA requested that staff work on grant applications for the two projects at their meeting of August 20. They are forwarding these applications for approval at their Board of Directors on September 17 and are seeking input from the Board of Trustees.
Should the Board wish to approve these projects for submittal, Town staff recommends applying for the project as one, leveraging the improvements for better efficiencies in environmental study, design, construction and oversight. There is no right of way acquisition anticipated with this project.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
All numbers are estimated from preliminary engineering identified in the Master Infrastructure Plan. Final engineering would result in more exact figures.
1) The request to DRCOG for the Lakeview/Highway 72 Intersection project will be for $276,000 with a local Nederland (DDA) match of $69,000 for a total project cost of $345,000. The match will be broken down between design in 2016 ($9,000) and construction in 2018 ($60,000).
2) The request to DRCOG for the Middle Boulder Creek Secondary Bridge project will be for $345,600 with a local match (DDA) of $86,400 for a total project cost of $432,000. The match will be broken down between design in 2017 ($14,400) and construction in 2018 or 2019 ($72,000). Additional environmental study is also needed for this project, as it takes place within the Middle Boulder Creek riparian corridor and would contribute to the final location of the bridge. Those costs would be borne locally, as well, and would likely cost an estimated $15,000 to $25,000 in 2016 or 2017.
BOT Packet 2014.09.16 250 of 270
3) If the projects are combined, some efficiencies may result (e.g. streamlined engineering costs and mobilization costs for construction). However, the ballpark combined cost, based upon construction estimates given in the Master Infrastructure Plan, would be about $785,000, including environmental study, design, and construction. The local match would total about $175,000.

Bicycle/Pedestrian Project Eligibility Criteria
New construction projects will result in a paved facility (hard, all-weather surface comprised of new/recycled asphalt and/or concrete) where pedestrian and/orbicycle infrastructure does not currently exist.
Upgrade construction projects provide safety/operational improvements to an existing facility that is not currently designed appropriately to accommodate itscurrent use (ADA and AASHTO design standards are still applicable).
Reconstruction projects must reconstruct the total pavement of a facility due to pavement deterioration. To be eligible, the Pavement Condition Index, computedaccording to the methods in Appendix G, must have a PCI score of 25 or less for asphalt surfaces and 35 or less for concrete surfaces.
Projects must be on facilities contained in an adopted local plan.
Any new pavement must be designed and constructed to withstand occasional vehicle travel (emergency vehicles).
If project consists of multiple, non-contiguous elements, all elements must either be a) on the same facility (primary corridor) OR b) within .25 miles of the largestelement of the project.
All projects intended for multiple user types (bicycle and pedestrian) are required to be constructed to a minimum width of 8 feet for the entire length of theproject.
All projects must score a minimum of 1 point in the connectivity evaluation criterion to be eligible.
