Loveland schedules July 8 hearing for monitoring wells at Bishop Park
Summary
Council set a public hearing for July 8 to consider permitting two monitoring wells in Bishop Park related to the pending sale of 401 West Loveland; staff said the wells are small—about 6 inches in diameter—and likely minor in appearance.
The Loveland City Council on June 24 voted to schedule a public hearing for July 8 to consider granting an easement for two monitoring wells Patriot Engineering requested to place in Bishop Park.
City Manager Dave Kennedy said the wells are connected to a pending sale of 401 West Loveland and the company requested permission to install monitoring wells near Riverside Drive and the Colonel Thomas Paxton Bridge. Assistant City Manager Chris Winich told council the devices are “only about 6 inch diameter” and “pretty small,” adding they look a bit like a small manhole.
Councilmember Hart asked whether the wells would be visible and noted aesthetic concerns; Winich and Kennedy described them as small installations that typically remain for an extended period. Council voted to schedule the hearing; the motion carried on a roll-call vote with the seven members recorded as voting yes.
The July 8 hearing will allow public comment before council decides whether to grant the easement. No final decision on permitting or design was made at the June 24 meeting.
