Excerpts by topic
AI-read · unreviewed37 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personwe're here to talk tonight about the South Boulder Creek flood mitigation project as well as the annexation of Cu South
you'll hear a lot of discussion tonight about the levy
South Boulder Creek does have a history of flooding um there have been three major flooding events
that recommended three phases of flood mitigation for South Boulder Creek
the state engineer is for the dam design and Dam safety component of it
this design is not reflected based on development of Cu South
so what other things could be done to help mitigate for climate change
to kind of armor the city against the uncertainties of climate change
what impacts they might have on the city's water supply
when you design a Spillway you come up with What's called the probable maximum flood
it will apply to our dam safety component of the design
the people that we have placed um in Supportive Housing with vouchers
a large number of people that we are exiting from homelessness who are kind of on the front lines
we're not bidding the project right now in the Capital Improvements program
the money is going to have to come from someplace yeah correct um and I suspect we'll issue bonds
storm water rates for um let's say average homeowner
we have some ability to navigate that in our in our sixe CIP as we're sort of spacing out projects
the storm water and flood management utility rates would go up so it by 50 to 70%
I would like to pursue um analyzing that 8% additional for um climate mitigation
the university did submit an application to the city of Boulder for annexation in February of 2019
that's about 500 acres in North Boulder that is basically on reserve for do for doing detailed planning
and Incorporated that into a chapter of the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan
some of those benefits include um permanently affordable housing but it also includes things like
there may be some questions around future housing on the site
would impact their ability to provide student housing and faculty housing
so these steps really need to happen in a midterm or a major update it's a comprehensive plan
the planning Reserve was chosen in the90s after a comprehensive analysis of all that area three land
the funding that was used initially through the bond or the 0.25 Cent sales tax
So within our six-year CIP Area 3 is nowhere within that
there are um some Boulder Valley comprehensive plan mentions of Highway 93
that's not really going to establish anything firm for CU South
some of that will be driven from our housing master plan
our master plan does reference area three um basically it sets aside land
I don't think there was a commitment to Annex um because we weren't sure the flood was going to work
given vouchers to be um given housing who were formerly homeless
we try to extract um 40 to 50% affordable housing that's our biggest um Community benefit
by not knowing what we're annexing you just don't know what you're going to get
