AT THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT - THE FOLLOWING ITEM WAS PULLED AND WILL BE CONSIDERED AT A
FUTURE DATE
13. DRY CREEK WATERSHED DRAINAGE MITIGATION FEE INCREASE The Dry Creek Watershed Drainage Mitigation fee was adopted by the Town in December 1995.
A 2013 Nexus Study was prepared to update and determine the appropriate cost-distribution of drainage mitigation fees that would be necessary to fund the operations, maintenance and replacement cost associated with flood control facilities. Recently, the Flood Control District completed an update to the Nexus Study, which was adopted by the District's Board of Directors on May 9, 2022. The update used the same methodology for distributing costs as the original Nexus Study, while also identifying new infrastructure needs from the District's Dry Creek Capital Improvements Program.
