SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Over the course of the last year Public Works staff has been working with the Vista Ridge Homeowners Association (HOA), Vista Ridge Metropolitan District (VRMD), Colorado National Golf Course (CNGC) and various local residents regarding the appearance and function of the storm drainage, water quality and detention facilities in Vista Ridge. Staff recently completed an Alternatives Analysis of the system looking at opportunities to enhance the system’s function, maintenance efficiencies and aesthetic improvements where possible.
During the course of this effort we discovered that the drainage system was never conveyed to the Town for maintenance, aside from the buried pipes and pond outlet structures. The ponds and drainage ways are the responsibility of VRMD. I will present the various challenges related to this system as well as water quality implications and next steps for the Town and the various other entities involved.
