SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The First Amended And Restated Master Development Agreement, executed in 2012 and the Flatiron Meadows Filing No. 13 Development Agreement, executed in 2020 stipulates that Hines, the developer of Flatiron Meadows convey two tracts of land for Rights-of-Ways: Tract H, Tract I, and Tract G-1, a regional drainage facility, to the Town of Erie. The 2020 DA also stipulates that maintenance responsibility will ultimately fall to the Flatiron Meadows Master Association (HOA).
Town staff have been working with Hines, Flatiron Meadows HOA, and the Mile High Flood District (MHFD) to ensure that the drainage channel meets MHFD standards through a separate agreement and a financial contribution by Hines. MHFD will coordinate and lead the remaining improvements this year with the Town and HOA.
The Town and the HOA have also executed a maintenance agreement that includes the drainage facilities, native areas, trees, irrigation, and the trail, to ensure that this area receives adequate maintenance and serves its purpose as a vital trail connection and drainage facility.
