Re: Resolution 05-03 authorizing application to the Public Utilities Commission
of the State of Colorado (PUC) for the two at grade crossings into the
Confluence property
Summary:
Attached to this memo is Resolution 05-03, authorizing staff to submit application to
the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Colorado (PUC) for the two at grade
crossings into the Confluence property.
Though you have already provided us direction to prepare and submit the
application, our legal counsel has advised us that an official action is preferred to be
included in the submittal.
Staff has largely prepared a draft application, and we anticipate submittal to the PUC
within the next week after our consultants review and advise us on the content and
adequacy of our submittal.
As a reminder, the Town entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
East West for all costs associated with the preparation, submittal, and hearings
necessary in acquiring the PUC approval for these crossings. It is planned that the
property owner will also pay for the crossings once their approvals have been
secured, since they represent a cost effective means of access to the site in lieu of
the existing PUD requirements.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that your move to approve Resolution 05-03, authorizing staff to
submit application to the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Colorado for two
at grade crossings over railroad property.
