The 13.4-acre site for the Kestrel community required extensive civil work. Milender White (MW) made both onsite and offsite improvements, creating connections to trails and pocket parks plus opportunities for roads leading into the development. MW provided abatement and demolition of an abandoned house on the property and installed pipe for the Goodhue Ditch to run underground around the parcel’s south and east sides. Storm and sanitary line tie-ins at the north and south edges of the property presented the team with some challenges, and coordination with our neighbors was key as these connections had to be made on and/or through neighboring property. The sanitary connection to the north was over 20’ deep within an RV storage facility, and the connections to the south were made in South Boulder Road, requiring the new infrastructure to be routed through a strip mall parking lot.
Other site development and infrastructure completed for this project included overlot grading of the entire site, a large underground detention area for stormwater and a detention pond, relocation and new piping for the 16” water line that feeds the neighboring Town of Lafayette, and water, sanitary and sewer throughout the site to serve 18 different buildings with 200 residential units. New public roads (West Hecla Drive and Kaylix Avenue), a private loop road (Kestrel Lane), and sidewalks, pocket parks, and trails linked Kestrel to existing street and trail networks.
