The SCS-PL-566, Small Watershed Program, would fit this need except for the element of time involved. There would be several years tied up in planning, design, construction, etc. and this would not be satisfactory to meet the immediate needs of flood protection. The Soil Conservation District and SCS would be available to assist on these problems in any way possible. A request for assistance from these three towns should be made to the Longmont Soil Conservation District. Carrol Hamon, District Conser- vationist, SCS, Longmont is assigned the responsibility of providing technical assistance to the Longmont SCD. The SCS address is 1228 N. Main in Longmont and the telephone number is 776-4034. R.M. Alt Area Conservationist cc: C. Ramon TI --"----.

COLORADO November 9, 1976 Mrs. Virginia Gabriel 511 Johnson Street, Evans Addition Frederick, Colorado 80530 Dear Mrs. Gabriel , Today I received your letter regarding the HUD grant and flood control in the Evans Addition. As I told you when you visited me recently, all of the Evans Addition will receive benefits from the HUD money, although there may not be enough money in this year' s grant for work on the entire area, but any work not completed this year will be done in the following year(s) . I also stated that there will be public hearings concerning the area and how the money is to be used. Your input and that of your neighbors is welcomed and encouraged at these hearings. This letter answers your questions as I answered them when you came to see me last month. If I may be of further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. 17/ Glenn K. Billings, Chairman Board of Weld County Commissioners k WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NORMAN CARLSON GLENN K. BILLINGS JUNE STEINMARK VICTOR JACOBUCCI onv nn ncco ems • ' ' Z1� Frederick, Colorado November 6, 1976 Weld County Commissioners c/o Mr. Glenn Billings, Chairman Court House Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Sirs: With reference to the $250,000. Grant issued, and to be used in the Evans Addition area, I am somewhat confused as to the spending of this money so that it becomes beneficial to all in the area, especially those who are afflicted with flooding waters that collect from the various areas during a storm. Having worked with the Tri-Area Planning Commission for the past two years, I was the one who asked their help in getting assistance from the County, since we are unincorporated, for flood drainage for our area. Also, I live in this area and have experienced the damage of flood waters to my home. It seems to me that before a definite decision can be made as to how the money will be spent, discussions should be held with ALL of the people of Evans Addition, together with County officials, thereby giving us a chance, and a voice, in the spending of this money, if it is to benefit the cause and those involved. Recently, Mrs. Hughes, our Evans Addition Planning Commission representative, and I talked with Mr. Billings in his office concerning this issue at which time he made the statement that whatever will be done, one thing was assured--that Evans Addition will be done in its entirety. I left his office feeling somewhat secure, however, a couple of days later I was asked to review the map at the Farmer and Miner Newspaper office (one prepared by the Nelson, Haley engineering firm and endorsed by the County) , which told me a completely difference story, thereby creating this concern I am writing about today. It appears from this map that a great deal of the road money from this grant will be spent at the south end of Evans Addition, which fits in with a previous news report that this same report classified the south end of Evans Addition as the flood hazardous area and in need of help. This is a false statement, and I will be glad to support you with true facts! The report goes on to give this end the lowering of Johnson Street to the north (part way) , giving them curb and gutter, some sidewalks (I feel we need sidewalks all through Evans Addition to keep our school children from walking in the middle of the road as they do now because school buses will not take them to school) . At the north end of Evans Addition (approximately 1-1/2 blocks of Johnson street) where I live, and where we have a tremendous amount of flood water build-up, the map shows nothing, absolutely nothing, including the bad spot at the junction of McClure Avenue and the Town of Firestone. McClure Avenue is our boundry line to the north. All that the map Weld County Commissioners ,November b, 1976 'Mage, Two - shows for us, which I was made to understand, is the preliminary plans made over a year ago for study purposes only, are two culverts to cross Johnson Street at two intersections with open, ggpassed-lined ditches running east to west to serve them, which I am sure will become obsolete after a year's use from build—up of sand, weeds and other trash material. This is no protection for our north end area. For us, and I have talked with my surrounding neighbors who are as concerned as I am, we feel that we are not only being neglected but put in further flood dangers if a severe storm should arise, bringing a lot of water our way. Other problems exist, too, with this plan that should be discussed. If I am wrong in my calculations, it is because of lack of communication between all of our people and County officials. We have never had an explanation of the HUD grant, how it works, or even what ft involves (maybe some have, That not the majority of us) , therefore, we must make our calculations from what we read in the newspapers or what we pick up from here and there. At the time we asked for this help, of course, no grant was even considered, therefore, we were depending on County help only, and believe me, our request didn't involve $250,000.00. I believe we could work things out if we could, and should, have an open meeting with the people of Evans Addition and the County officials, however, if they choose to not do so, signifies to me that they do not wish to consider our side and prefer the program to benefit certain homes and individuals, and those of us who really have a problem will be left out. However, I refuse to believe our leadership will submit to such actions! There is much more I can tell that perhaps would be beneficial to all of you in making a final decision, so if you would like to hear my side, I will be happy to come to your office at your convenience to discuss this situation with you, but please reconsider your plans before serious trouble develops because of them. The last I was told by Mr. Billings was that a new survey was to be made now that the grant was assured. Hopefully, it will reconsider and include our points we have been trying to make clear for the past two years. If this HUD grant does not include flood control, has the County made provisions to take care of the north end of Evans Addition that is not included according to the maps submitted with the Nelson, Haley report? I talked by telephone with Mrs. Steinmark this morning, who encouraged me to write this letter, for which I want to thank her for her kindness, and the time she gave me to hear me out. May I thank each and every one of you for the time and con- sideration you will give this letter. Very truly yours, Virg Gabriel 511 ohnson Street, Evans Addition Frederick, Colorado 80530 Hello
