could be overcome. It would take some special engineering and architecture to
make it work. The Raintree Amoco was approved with brick columns.
Bob Pennock, who represented Raintree Village Amoco in October, stated that
the brick columns were not required by the Board. He stated that it was the
architect's error in not removing the brick columns from the elevations on
Raintree Village Amoco approved plan.

ment in the access agreement.

the State Highway Department and the conditions placed by Council of no
medians in College Avenue. Discussion would be on how to proceed with the
South College Access Plan. The added responsibility would be placed on the

Mr. Frank commented that the Poudre Fire Authority did review this project
and approved this plan.

HARMONY HALF ACRES ANNEXATION AND ZONING - #13-89.A
Ken Waido gave a description of the proposed annexation and zoning.
Member Kern asked if the C-Commercial zoning with a PUD condition would
have to come before the Board if there would be any alterations or changes.

Mr. Waido replied that it would not because the existing use would become a
non -conforming use when annexed. Any expansion to a non -conforming use can
go through the expansion to the non -conforming use process. The property
owners would have the option to submit change of use or enlargement through
the PUD process.
Bob Kopitzki, 1917 Harmony Drive, asked when the city sewer line would go
down Timberline Lane.

south side of Harmony or the southern half of Sunstone as those properties
develop and sewer gets extended.
Leonard Ewy, 4413 South County Road 11, stated that he strongly supported
the R-E zoning.

standing any provisions to the animal control ordinance, that it would be
permissible for farm animals to be kept on any R-E zone property as an acces-
sory use.

Annexation and Zoning to City Council. Member Walker seconded the motion.
The motion passed 6-0.

residential development in the county.

property and divide it into lots smaller than 2.29 acres.
