MAPLELEAF FILING NO. 1 & 2
Arvada, Colorado

Working with the City of Arvada, BP-Amoco, and a private developer, Vision Land Consultants, Inc. helped turn what was thought to be an undevelopable piece of land into a model for urban infill projects. Through the City of Arvada, the property was rezoned from strictly a commercial business use to a planned unit development that allowed for a gas and convenience store and 144 condominium units. This site also contained an extensive floodplain that required working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Urban Drainage and Flood Control District during preparation of a CLOMR and LOMR. Extensive public improvements to the existing right of way were designed and constructed, and a new bridge was designed and constructed for the Leyden Creek crossing of north Simms Street. Our ability to mesh the needs of the client with the requirements of the governing jurisdictions enabled us to create a more valuable site for our client.
