1 recently received a copy uta letter to you from Holladay Engineering, dated January 30, 2001.
In this letter Holladay raises several questions in regards to thc blood Plain Development Permit
for the Eagle River project. As you are aware, this application was originally submitted to the
City and subsequently forwarded to Holladay for their review. We received a copy of the letter
from Holladay, dated September 18, 2000, stating that they have reviewed the storage volume
plots g,cperall a rcc with the document. The letter goes on toccotz nact�T"uprraval of the
Plood Plain Development Pem�it Ap licsgtion. On October 19,-2000, you issued a Floodplain
Weielropment Permit ii -r the proleet, With the iarluttnt;tr athe original Flood Plain Development
/ Permit, the City acknowledged that the original suhrnithtl met the conditions of the City's blood
Plain Ordinance. With the required development permit in place, the commotion, tlruction, as shown in
the approved plan, Kogan.
On November 16, 2000, revised plans of floodplain storage volumes were tsubmitted for the sole
purpose of incorporating a two -acro pared adjacent to Eagle Road, which was not originally a
part of the project. The addition of the two -acre parcel had a minimal effect on tho overall flood
plain volume and the resubmitted demonstrated u no net loss of floodplain volume in accordance
with the City of F.ag1e's Floodplain Ordinance. We later received u copy of a letter to you from
Holladay, dated December 27, 2000, which state that they take no excoption to the/ storage
volurnes provided on the drawings. The letter goes on to make an assutnpt on about storage
areas on the up -hill side of the_ roads being canrtectr Uvia culvert under the roads. As sated in
a totter to you dated January 11, 2001, the letter did not rcqucst additional inf rrmalion from
Toothman-Orton and since their assumption was correct, we did not respond. Following the City
Council metting_.lunua where Holladay's representative stated that l'onthman-Orton had not
responde o their request sent them a preliminary copy of our construction drawing indicating
thc culvor reflections in question.

Awed on the letter from 1 lolladay, doted January 30, and u subsequent telephone conversation on
February 1, it appears Holladay is now requesting additional information on portions of the
overall property, which were already included in the original Floodplain Development Permit.
The tuning of these comments is s ' . he construction is virtually complete and has
been done in accordance wi ,, .0 approved plans, i , have also completed final design for the
storm water system based on I I t, Hy s approval of the original submittal,
vo l ,,.. ego
Holladay's most recent letter, dated January 30, 2001 makeso three comments and asks for your
consideration.
1.) The first comment Is in regard to the northeastern portion ot'the property and questions
how floodwaters would be able to enter this area. Currently thc floodwaters, in a large
event, would enter this property from the south. In the future, if and whcn Riverside
Drive is constructed along the southern edge of this property, culverts would be installed
under the read to effectively connect this property to the floodplain system to the south.
In the event the properties south of the area in question are developed, it will be that
developer's responsibility, to insure that their project, like all projeets in the floodplain,
comply with the City's flood plain ordinance and does not isolate the Eagle River
property from the overall flood plain system. Tr the property to the south were to be
developed in a manner which isolated this portion of Eagle River from the floodplain,
they should, under the Cagle Floodplain Ordinance, be required to provide excavation on
their property to mitigate for this loss, since their project would be reducing the existing
floodplain volume. The) property owner to the south has indicated he has no Intention of
ever developing his property, and in that case, the Iltxxl water would access the Eagle
River property In question the same way it would now.
2.) The second comment in their letter related to the wetlands and the future mod crossing of
the wetlands. Once the design is ready to proceed on this rection of the project, we will
be required to file for a 404 Permit Irom the Army Corps of Engineers. As part of this
submittal we will be required to demonstrate shut we are not cutting off the flow to any of
the existing wetlands designated to remain. This will require that we locate culverts
under the road crossings orsufficient six to maintain the existing hydrology pattern for
the wetlands designated to remain.
3.) The third and final (=imam questions why there are no supporting calculations that
demonstrate the proposed pipe connections will convey flood waters to available storage
areas within a reasonable time. The Ietter states that they believe 48 -hours after the fined
event is a reasonable time period. The calculations and the 4R -hour period arc not
conditions stated in the City's Floodplain Ordlnsncc. further, this is a roquusst far new
data on that portion of the project that bus already been approves/ by the City at thc
recommendation of Holladay Engineering Company, The letter iron/ Holladay, dated
December 27, 2000 does not mention the requirement of calculations or the 48-hour

limitation. We agree with TTolladay's concern over inclusion °farms upstream of
roadways in the post development floodplain volume calculations. Without a connection
under the roads, which are raised 0.5 -foot above BFF, in accordance with the City's
Floodplain Ordinance, the roads could potentially act as a dam. Wu have included with
our final design several l2 -Inch and 15 -inch culverts grossing the roads to join all ol'the
areas we have Identified as providing flood plain Storage.
This letter is intended to express our concern over the manner in which this review has
progressed and to address the comments stated in the: most recent letter from I Iolladay
lsngineering Company. We believe we have adequately addressed the comments stated in the
letter as they relate to the City's Flood Plain ordinance. Pleam contact us with any additional
comments or questions.
