Resolution 2003-089
Authorizing a Revocable Permit Over a Portion
of the Public Utility Easement Adjacent to Centre Avenue
by the Horticulture Center for Installation of a Duct Bank
for Fiber Optic Line by Colorado State University, Adopted.
The following is staff's memorandum on this item.
"Executive Summary
While grading of the site for the Horticulture Center project was underway, it was discovered that
a fiber optic line owned by Colorado State University had been installed on the property prior to
conveyance of the property to the City. CSU removed the fiber optic line at that time, and City staff
has been in discussions with CSU staff since that time regarding the relocation of that fiber optic
line to meet CSU's needs.
CSU recently contacted the City to request permission to locate a new duct bank, in which the fiber
optic line and future fiber optic line would be placed, along the eastern edge of the Horticulture
Center property, within the area that has been identified as public utility easement. CSUpresently
has a contractor engaged to perform work in the vicinity and can save significant costs if allowed
to proceed promptly with the installation. In addition, because of the work schedule for the
Horticulture Center Project, City staffhas determined that delays in installation could interfere with
the City's Project. In order to authorize the installation of the duct bank in the public utility
easement area, City staff is requesting that the Council approve this Resolution authorizing a
revocable permit so that the work can proceed expeditiously. "
