Section 3. Disposition of Bond Proceeds. When the
bonds have been duly executed, the Director of Finance is hereby
directed to deliver the bonds to the purchaser thereof upon
receipt of the agreed purchase price therefor. The proceeds of
the bonds shall be used only for the purpose of extending and
improving the municipal waterworks system of the City, and for
paying the costs and expenses incurred incidental to the issuance
of said bonds and for no other purpose whatever.
All or any portion of the bond proceeds may be tem-
porarily invested, or reinvested, pending such use, in securities
or obligations which are lawful investments for such munic-
ipalities in the State of Colorado. It is hereby covenanted and
agreed by the City that the temporary investment or reinvestment
of the bond proceeds, or any portion thereof, shall be of such
nature and extent, and for such period, that the bonds of the"City
shall not be or become "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of
Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and pertinent reg-
ulations, and such proceeds, if so invested or reinvested, shall
be subject to the limitations and restrictions of said Section
103(c), as the same now exists or may later be amended, and shall
further be subject to any applicable regulations of the Internal
Revenue Service.
Neither the purchaser of the bonds nor the subsequent
holder of any of them shall be responsible for the application or
disposal by the City, or any of its officers, of any of the funds
derived from the sale thereof.
Section 4. Payment of Principal and Interest. If
necessary, the amount of interest due on said bonds on April 1,
1978 may be advanced from any available funds of the City, or from
the proceeds of the bonds authorized by this Ordinance. For the
purpose of reimbursing said funds and paying the interest on said
bonds as it shall thereafter become due and providing for the

ultimate payment of the bonds, there shall be levied on all the
taxable property in the City, in addition to all other taxes,
direct annual taxes (general ad valorem taxes) in each of the
years 1977 to 1996, inclusive, without limitation as to rate or
amount, sufficient to make such reimbursement and pay the in-
terest on all of the bonds outstanding, and the principal thereof,
as the same become due and payable, respectively.
Said taxes, when collected, shall be applied solely
for the purpose of the payment of the interest on and principal of
the 1977 Bonds and for no other purpose whatever, until the bonds
authorized by this Ordinance, both principal and interest, shall
have been fully paid, satisfied and discharged. Nothing herein
contained shall be so construed as to prevent the City from
applying any available income or revenues of the municipal water-
works system, or any other funds or revenues that may be in the
City treasury and available for that purpose, to the payment of
said bonds and the interest thereon. Upon the application of such
funds or revenues as aforesaid, the levy or levies herein provided
may thereupon to that extent be diminished.
The sums herein provided to pay the interest on said
bonds and to discharge the principal thereof when due, are hereby
appropriated for that purpose, and said amounts for each year
shall also be included in the annual budget and the appropriation
bills to be adopted and passed by the City Council of the City in
each year, respectively.
It shall be the duty of the City Council of said City,
annually, at the time and in the manner provided by law for
levying other City taxes, if such action shall be necessary to
effectuate the provisions of this ordinance, to ratify and carry
out the provisions hereof with reference to the levying and
collection of taxes; and such taxes, when collected, shall be kept

the Municipal Waterworks System. By Ordinance No. 64, 1974, the
City Council has authorized the issuance of its General Obligation
Water Refunding Bonds, Series 1974, (hereafter referred to as the
"1974 Bonds") in the principal amount of $1,935,000, dated De-
cember 1, 1974. In addition to the provision for a tax levy for
the payment of the 1974 Bonds, the Ordinance provides for a pledge
of the net revenue of the municipal waterworks system for the
payment of the principal of and interest on the 1974 Bonds.
Similarly, the City hereby irrevocably pledges to pay the princi-
pal of and the interest on the 1977 Bonds from the net revenues of
the municipal waterworks system. The City hereby reserves the
right to secure, without restriction, any water bonds and refund-
ing water bonds of the City hereafter issued equally and ratably
with the 1974 Bonds and the 1977 Bonds. The City also hereby
commits itself to fix and annually to maintain rates and charges
for water and services furnished by the system which, together
with moneys on hand and available therefor, will be sufficient to
pay operation and maintenance expenses of the system and the
principal of and interest on all bonds and other obligations of
the system, as they respectively become due, and for the other
payments required by Art. IX, Section 6'of the City Charter.
The term "net revenues" as used herein refers to the
gross revenues of the system after the payment of operation and
maintenance expenses. The term "operation and maintenance expen-
ses" as used herein means all current reasonable and necessary
expenses of operating, maintaining and repairing the system, but
does not include any allowance for depreciation or capital re-
placements and improvements.
74
September 6, 1977
The terms "municipal waterworks system" or "system" as
used herein shall include not only the property comprising the
waterworks system of the City of Fort Collins at the present time,
but all additions and betterments thereto and improvements and
extensions thereto which may hereafter be constructed or acquired
by the City.
Section 6. Covenants of the City. The City hereby
additionally irrevocably covenants and agrees with each and every
holder of the 1977 Bonds that so long as any of said bonds remain
outstanding:
(a) It will continue to operate and manage the system
in an efficient and economical manner and keep and maintain
separate accounts of the receipts and disbursements thereof in
such manner that the revenues thereof may at all times be readily
and accurately determined.
(b) It will not sell or alienate any of the property
constituting any part or all of the system in any manner or to any
extent as might reduce the security provided for the payment of
the 1977 Bonds, but the City may sell any portion of such property
which shall have been replaced by other similar property of at
least equal value, or which shall cease to be necessary for
the efficient operation of the system.
(c) The rates for all services rendered by the system
to the City and to its inhabitants and to all consumers within or
without the boundaries of the City shall be reasonable and just,
taking into account and consideration the cost and value of the
system and the proper and necessary allowance for the depreciation
thereof and the amounts necessary for the retirement of all bonds
and other securities or obligations payable from the revenues of
the system, and the accruing interest thereon.
September 6, 1977
(d) There shall be charged against all purchasers of
service such rates and amounts as shall be adequate to meet the
requirements of this and the preceding sections hereof, and said
rates and amounts from the system shall be sufficient to satisfy
the requirements of Section 5 hereof.
(e) The City shall cause all rates, fees and service
charges appertaining to the system to be collected as soon as
reasonable, shall prescribe and enforce rules and regulations for
the payment thereof and for the connection with and the discon-
nection from properties of the system, and shall provide methods
of collection and penalties, including but not limited to denial
of service for non-payment of such rates, fees and service
charges, to 'the end that net revenues of the system shall be
adequate to meet the requirements hereof.
(f) At regular periods each year it will render bills
for water services furnished. Until paid, all water rates, fees;
tolls and charges shall constitute a lien on the property served,
and the City shall take whatever action is legally permissible
promptly to enforce and collect delinquent water rates, fees,
tolls and charges, and to enforce said liens.
(g) At least once each year it will furnish Boettcher
and Company, Denver, Colorado, and the purchaser of the 1.977
Bonds,, with a complete statement of the receipts and disbursements
of and for the system for the fiscal year immediately preceding
such 'statements.
(h) It will carry workmen's compensation, public
liability and other forms of insurance on insurable system prop-
erty, in such amounts as is customarily carried on prudently
operated systems of like character.
Section 7. Severability. That if any one or more
sections or parts of this Ordinance shall be adjudged unen-
forceable or invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or
invalidate the remaining provisions of this Ordinance, it being
the intention that the various provisions hereof are severable.

Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"As directed by the City Council, the Water Utility staff and
Water Board have considered and made recommendations to the
City Council on the in -lieu -of water rights payments on a
annual basis. In that water costs per -acre-foot have been
increasing at a dramatic rate, the Water Board requested a
staff report every six months on the current price of an
acre foot of water.
Accordingly, the Water Board at their August 12, 1977, meeting
recommended an adjustment of the in -lieu -of water right pay-
ment from $800 to $1,000 per acre foot based on the attached
staff report."

of the Right of Way for a Sanitary Sewer Line
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"Property belonging to Mr. Pete Sanchez at 217 Buckingham Street
is not able to connect to the City sewer because it has no
access to the alley in which the sewer line is located. Both
Mr. Sanchez and the City have attempted to negotiate a right
of way across the adjoining property owned by Edward Moreno
in order to have access to the sewer line, but we have not
been able to receive any response from Mr. Moreno. In view
of this, it appears that a right of way cannot be negotiated
and can only be acquired by condemnation.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the Council
a opt t e enc osed Resolution authorizing acquisition of the

Report on New Southeast Elementary School
City Participation in Gymnasium Addition
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item and the memorandum of May 16, 1977:
"Attached for your information is a report I prepared for
Robert Brunton on May 16, 1977, concerning this subject.
On Wednesday, August 31, 1977, H. R. Phillips and I met with
Jim Law, Business Manager of Poudre R-1 School District,
(Mr. Don Webber is out of town all week.) to discuss the topic
again. Most recent information substantiates my earlier memo;
however, we did get some clarification on a use policy.
Mr. Webber has informed the School Board that his recommended
use policy would be as follows:
1. First preference would go to the Southeast Elementary
School on a day and evening basis for use (weekends
included).
2. Second preference would go the City of Fort Collins.
3. Third preference would go to other Poudre R-1 schools.
II5
September 6,. 1977
The design for the new Southeast Elementary School will be
reviewed by the School Board on September 12, 1977. Plans
call for the project to go out to bid on September 21, 1977. '
As cited in my earlier memo, it would cost the City approxi-
mately $250,000 to add a 11,214 square foot facility. This
would allow for two full sized basketball courts to be built,
but does not include funds for shower or locker facilities.
It is also the size of structure which H. R. Phillips feels
is the minimum size required for our program demands and
needs.
I have also checked with City Attorney, Art March, on the
use of Parkland Acquisition and Development Funds for this
purpose. Without ordinance changes in the program, this
is not an eligible expenditure. It would then appear that
an appropriation for this project would have to come from
our general fund unappropriated fund balance. It should
also be noted that upon approval of our EDA grant and the
construction of the new Northside Community Center, additional
gymnasium space will be provided to the community.
Recommendation: Because there are other priority programs
i.e. street Tmprovements, pension and insurance requirements)
which our general fund unappropriated balance may be used for
and since the Northside Community Center will reduce some of
our needs for gymnasium space, it is recommended that we '
not participate in oversizing the gym at the New Southeast
Elementary School at a cost of approximately $250,000.
Additional Comments - It should be noted that we will be
asking Council in the budget process to appropriate $15,000
from the Parkland Acquisition and Development Fund in 1978
to develop and build a playground at this new school facility."
"On Wednesday, May 11, 1977, Mike DiTullio, H. R. Phillips,
and I met with Jim Law of the Board of Education to discuss
the City's participation in a gymnasium facility and Poudre
R-1's new southeast elementary school.
The following information was available from the school district
on the matter:
1. To add a 11,214 square foot facility (this is approxi-
mately twice the size of the Boltz Junior High gym
which is 5,632 square feet) would cost the City approxi-
mately $250,000.
2. Approximately $5,000 in additional utility expenses
would be needed annually plus annual rate increase to
maintain the facility,_

September 6, 1977
3. No use policy (exclusive City use after a specified
time period re: 4:00 daily) can be committed to the
' City at this time.
4. The School Board needs to know by May 23, 1977,
whether or not the City is interested in participating
in the project.
5. If the City did participate in the project, funds
would have to be available by January 1, 1978, for
half the cost with the remaining half due July 1, 1978.
Based on the above criteria and additional comments below, we
do not feel the City's participation in the project is desirable.
1. A more concrete use plan would have to be developed
before making such sizable expenditures.
2. An expenditure of this magnitude in the Parkland
Fund would delay planned development of Rolland Moore
Park for approximately two years which is a higher
priority project.
3. The minimum size structure which could accommodate
two regulation basketball games would be 9,680 square
feet. Reducing the structure to this size would not
' result in a sizable savings."
After Council discussion, Mayor Bloom stated direction from the
Council was not to participate in this project.
Agreement with United Bank of Fort Collins
Approved as Amended
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Council has previously considered a proposed agreement under
which the City would take over maintenance of a detention pond
for the Stagecoach Subdivision. The attached agreement has
been prepared and is proposed by United Bank in reponse to
the discussions with the Council when this was last presented.
The agreement now calls for a deposit of $10,000.00 with 1/2
of the deposit to be taken by the City if the property annexes
and the other half to be refunded to the bank at that time.
In the interim all interest earned would be available to
maintain the detention pond and the principal could be invaded
if major expenditures were required."

City Attorney March stated he felt there was an oversight
*n the redrafting of the agreement. The original agreement
had the following language in it: '
"5. If the property shall be annexed to the City, the
detention pond shall then be conveyed to and accepted by the
City, and the City shall assume full responsibility of main-
tenance and ownership of the tract of land and the detention
pond located thereon."
He then recommended Council approve the agreement with the
above language being substituted for paragraph number six
in the current agreement.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Wilkinson to approve the agreement with the new language in
paragraph six. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray,
Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.

Ordinance Adopted as Amended on First Reading Zoning
the Harmony Second Annexation
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation '
on this item:
"The City Council on August 16 approved the first reading of
the ordinance annexing this property. The second reading of
this ordinance is scheduled for the September 6 meeting.
The Planning and Zoning Board at its July 11, 1977, meeting
voted to recommend to the Council that this property be placed
in the T-Transition Zone until the Board could discuss a
general land use plan for the southern area of the City.
The Board considered such a plan at a special meeting on
August 23, 1977. At that meeting the Board also considered
the petitioner's request for R-P, Planned Residential Zoning
of the property and the Planning staff's recommendation for
28 acres of R-P, Planned Residential zoning and 41 acres of
R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential Zoning. The Board
voted to table this item until October, not because of dis-
agreement with the staff's recommendation or the petitioner's
request, but to determine the Location of the Harmony trunk -
line as a possible line for placing the property into two
different zoning categories (R-P and R-L-P). However, it
has subsequently been determined that that trunkline is
located too far south on the property to serve as a useful
zoning dividing line. '
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that Council zone
this property R-P, Planned Residential with the understanding
that the plans for development of this property would be
approved at less than the maximum density allowable for the
R-P, Planned Residential zoning district. In order to accom-
plish the R-P Zoning, Council would need to amend the zoning
ordinance by deleting the T-Transition Zone and substituting
the R-P, Planned Residential zone, and approve the amended
ordinance on first reading."
Developer, Bill Tiley, spoke to the phasing proposed for this
annexation.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Gray to amend Ordinance No. 108, 1977 on first reading by
deleting the T-Transition Zone and substituting the R-P,
Planned Residential zone and adopt the amended ordinance on
first reading. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray,

Ordinance Adopted as Amended on Second Reading Annexing
the Harmony Second Annexation
Following is the City Attorney's memorandum on this item:
"The description for the referenced annexation should be
changed. It appears that the engineers who prepared this
plat construed the descriptions of the various parcels so as
to create a gap between two properties which actually have
a common boundary. I have had them prepare a revised annexa-
tion plat which is enclosed, and I have revised the ordinance
to reflect the correct description. In order to complete
this annexation with the correct description, the Council
should first pass a motion amending Ordinance No. 106, 1977,
to use the description contained in the enclosed ordinance
rather than the description that was in the ordinance pre-
sented on first reading. After adoption of that motion,
the Council can then adopt the ordinance on second reading
as amended. The plat to be filed for this annexation should
be the form of plat which is enclosed herewith."
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Wilkinson to amend the ordinance to use the description con-
tained in the revised ordinance rather than the description

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Zoning
the Timberline-Horsetooth Annexation
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"The annexation of this property was completed as of August 26,
1977.
The Planning and Zoning Board considered zoning for this pro-
perty at its July 11, 1977, meeting and voted to recommend to
Council the T-Transition zone until a general zoning plan
for the area could be considered by the Board. At a special
meeting on August 23, 1977, the Board considered such a plan
(the "South Fort Collins General Land Use Plan") and voted
to recommend to the Council that 18 acres of the property be
placed in the R-H, High Density Residential zoning district
and 18 acres in the T-Transition zoning district (the peti-
tioner is requesting B-P, Planned Business zoning and the
Planning staff's recommendation is for 15 acres of R-H, High
Density Residential zoning and 21 acres of R-P, Planned
Residential Zoning).
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the Council
consider the —petitioner's request, the recommendations of the
Planning staff, and the recommendations of the Planning and
Zoning Board and determine the appropriate zoning. If the
Council decides to place all of the property in one zoning
district, it will need to amend the zoning ordinance by
deleting the T-Transition zone and substituting the appropri-
ate zone. If the decision is to zone the property into
different zoning districts and the division of the property
is capable of being sufficiently described, the Council will
need to amend the zoning ordinance deleting the T-Transition
zone and placing described pieces of property in the appropriate
zones. If the Council decides to place the property into
different zoning districts and the property cannot be suffi-
ciently described without a legal description, this item
should be referred back to staff with instructions to bring
back a zoning ordinance with appropriate legal descriptions."
Councilmembers discussed the possible problems of having the
entire 36 acres in the B-P zone. Councilman Suinn made a
motion that the ordinance be amended to reflect the staff's
recommendation. This motion was not seconded.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling
to accept the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board
and instruct the City Attorney to come back with the proper
ordinance. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray and

Replat of Edora Acres, Second Filing Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Attached is a report from Planning Staff concerning the Replat
of Edora Acres. This replat would void the Final P.U.D.

On August 8, the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recom-
mended approval of the Replat subject to technical revisions.
The Board did comment that the approved P.U.D. was more aesthetic,
however, the current approach is in character with adjacent
development, is legal and acceptable.
The applicant has met the necessary requirements and made the
technical revisions recommended by the Planning and Zoning
Board.

Parkview Estates P.U.D. Preliminary Plan Approved
Following is the Planning and Zoning Staff's memorandum on
this item:
Background
This is a proposal for a total of 227 dwelling units on a 24 acre site at an
overall density of 11.5 units/acre. Dwelling units consist of 104 townhouse
and 173 apartment units. The site is zoned R-M, Medium Density Residential
District, and R-H, High Density Residential District. The proposal is being
submitted as a P.U.D. although this, is not required for multifamily development
in these zones. Please see the attached statement of planning objectives
submitted by the architect which describes the project in detail.

Planning and Zoning Board Discussion
The Planning and Zoning Board considered the preliminary plan of this proposal
at its August 8 meeting. Discussion concerned the following general topics:
A. Intensity of townhouse area. The staff pointed out that although
the overall density of the proposal is below the maximums possible
with a conventional subdivision in the R-H and R-M zones, the plan
nevertheless entails highly intensive use in the townhouse area.
Although the townhouse buildings have been carefully laid out in
September 6, 1977
relation to each other, the intensity of use in this area was reflected
on the preliminary plan submitted for Planning and Zoning Board review
by building coverage of 25.2% (excluding open space separated from
townhouse area by irrigation canal); building separation of 10 to 15
feet in several locations which lead to questions of privacy loss with
this building type; dependence on all offstreet parking inside garages;
access driveways which failed to meet P.U.D. requirements for private
streets; problems of emergency access at two locations; and some garage
entrances which did not provide sufficient sight distnace for safe
backup movements. Nevertheless,the staff indicated that it did not feel
that the density or intensity of this area per se was too great, but
that these detailed problems should be resolved. The ,applicant
expressed agreement with specific staff suggestions (as noted in
condition 111 of Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation, below).
B. Open Space and Irrigation Ditches. The staff questioned the function-
ality of unimproved active open area along the north end of site
separated from the rest of the site by an irrigation canal. Members
of the Board were also concerned about safety along the ditchbanks.
The applicant, however, pointed out that the P.U.D. ordinance was
intended to allow open space development of areas unsuited for housing,
but expressed agreement with staff suggestions that this area be fully
landscaped and have improved access (see condition #2 of Planning and
Zoning Board recommendation, below).
C. Streets. The question of whether a public street connection from the
interior of this site to the area adjacent on the northwest was
discussed by the staff, Board and applicant. It was generally agreed
upon that this would not be necessary because this area still would have
sufficient frontage on Drake to obtain two points of access. The staff
also noted that proposed street layout would conflict with an already
platted local street intersection on the south side of Drake Road. The
applicant agreed to revision of proposed street location as suggested
by staff (see condition #3 of Planning and Zoning Board recommendation,
below).
D. Other topics of discussion involved location of the Spring Creek
Bikeway through site (although it has since been determined that the
bikeways master plan calls for this bikeway to go through Moore Park
rather than along the north perimeter of this proposal as was discussed
at the meeting); provision of utilities on the site; additional detail
needed to be shown on the preliminary plat (see condition V4 below);
and phasing of the project (condition #5, below).
Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation: Conditional Approval
The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously in favor of a motion to
recommend approval of the plan subject to the following conditions as
suggested by the staff and members of the Board:
1. Layout of townhouse area should be revised so that:
a) townhouse buildings have 25' separation;
b) access drives meet P.U.D. requirements for private streets;
102
September 6, 1977
c) problems of emergency access at two locations be eliminated;
d) at least 8' of driveway be provided for garages for adequate
backup sight distance;
2.
Open space north of New Piercer Canal should be fully improved and
landscaped for active recreational use; additional access bridges
should be provided and specific emphasis should be given to treatment
of ditch banks regarding safety and ditch company access;
3.
Relocation of easternmost street intersection with Drake so as not to
conflict with the location of Canterbury Street as platted in Kensington
South First Filing on the south side of Drake.
4.
Other revisions or additional detail including:
a) minor redistribution of parking spaces in apartment area so that
each lot provides spaces for units in adjacent buildings as per
P.U.D. ordinance parking requirements;
b) delineation on preliminary plan of areas which qualify as active
open space;
c) indication of trash pickup facilities;
d) submittal of apartment building elevations;
e) designation of sidewalk/bikeway along Drake Road;
5.
Final plans should not be approved for any units farther than 660
feet from a single point of access.
Subsequent Staff Comments:
The staff recommendation is for approva.1 of the preliminary plan subject to
the conditions of the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation.
The applicant has submitted a revised preliminary plan in response to the
Board's recommendations. As of this writing, however, the staff has not had
time to determine whether this revised plan adequately responds to these
recommendations (particularly concerning separation of townhouse buildings
P.U.D. ordinance requirements for private streets and treatment of ditch -
banks through the site).
We hope to have determined this by the Sept. 6 meeting, however.

Mr. Bob Sutter, Architect and Planner for Parkview Estates,
spoke to the Planning and Zoning Board recommendations, which
have been accomplished with the exception of paragraph "C"
regarding streets; and he added that they are willing to
cooperate with the City if that need is there. City Attorney
March stated the recommendation of the administration is
approval of the plan, with a requirement that they have an
access way to the other site from this site, with the under-
standing that it be reviewed at the time of final approval.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Gray to approve the preliminary plans for Parkview Estates
P.U.D. subject to the conditions as listed by the Planning
and Zoning Board and reserving the discussion of the right
of way until the final plat. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom,

THE MOTION CARRIED
Landings Subdivision Third Filing
Preliminary Plat Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"This is a proposal for 35 single-family lots on 21.9 acres
located south of Warren Lake. The Third Filing of the Landings
Subdivision involves only single family lots and has been
under the Subdivision Ordinance.
On a 3-2 vote the Planning and Zoning Board approved the
Preliminary Plan with the following conditions:
1. That Lemay Avenue be at least minimally improved
(e.g. 2 lanes only) in conjunction with this deve-
lopment. The 7 year capital street improvement
program for 1978 contains $15,000 as a City share
for a two-lane street improvement project on Lemay.
The remainder of the project cost estimated at
$15,000 should be paid by the developer.
2. That a street width variance to 28' be granted only
for the north -south street at the west end of the
site (extension of Skysail Lane, a 28' street in
Landings, Second Filing, adjacent to the northwest)
3. That a final plat of this site specify the following
provisions as suggested by the staff:
inh
September 6,. 1977
a. stabilization of Warren Lake inlet channel banks;
b. dedication and improvement of public street across
' Warren Lake inlet channel between the Second and
Third Filings; and
C. indication of ownership and maintenance of common
areas.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends approval of
the prelim nary plat subject to those conditions cited above.
Council discussed, at length, the need to improve Lemay Avenue.
Mr. Reid Rosenthal, developer, stated he had talked to
Bill Tiley and Bill Day (other developers in the area) and
they had agreed that the realignment of Lemay might be more
economically feasible at this time rather than doing it as
a temporary measure. He also spoke to his request that the
28' street width be granted for the east -west street as
well as for the north -south street.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Gray to approve the Landings Subdivision Third Filing Pre-
liminary Plat subject to conditions 2 and 3 above and a study
of the realignment of Lemay to incorporate that now as a
major arterial. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray
and Suinn. Nays: Councilman Wilkinson.

Mayor Bloom declared a 15 minute recess.
Collindale P.U.D., Conceptual Master Plan
Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"Attached is a detailed report from Planning staff concerning
a proposal for 616 dwelling units on 103.1 acres located on
West Horsetooth Road, east of Lemay Avenue.
This is a multi -phased development and only a conceptual master
plan for the development is being submitted at this time for
approval by the City. Detailed preliminary plans will be sub-
mitted for each phase of the project.
At its August 8 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board dis-
cussed the plan at length and a summary of the Board's comments
is included in the attached memorandum. Although the Board
' technically denied the proposal as a preliminary plan, it
approved the plan as a conceptual master plan. A discussion
105-
September 6,. 1977
of what this approval entails is also included in the Planning
report. Planning staff concurs with the Planning and Zoning
Board recommendation.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends approval of the
conceptual master plan for Collindale P.U.D. as per the Planning
and Zoning Board recommendation."
Mr. Bernie Cain, representing the developer, addressed the
proposed development.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Bowling to approve the conceptual master plan for Collindale
P.U.D. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray and
Wilkinson. Nays: Councilman Suinn.
THE MOTION CARRIED
Replat of Tract A of Eastgate Subdivision First Filing
Final Plans and Plat Approved
(Secretary's Note: This item was listed on the agenda as
"Eastgate P.U.D. Final Plans and Plat").
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"Attached is a report from Planning Staff on Eastgate P.U.D.
final plat, site and landscape plans.
The final plans are based on preliminary plans reviewed by
Planning and Zoning and approved by Council on June 21, 1977.
It should be noted that this is the first final plan to be
reviewed according to the new ordinance which eliminates
Planning and Zoning Board review of most final plats and plans.
Staff recommends approval.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that Council
approve the r1nal plat and plans of Eastgate P.U.D."
Planner II Paul Deibel stated the recommendation is for approval
conditioned upon a landscape maintenance guarantee. City Attorney
March stated further that the utility agreement requires the
developer to improve all of Pitkin Street from LaPlata Avenue
east to Riverside.

M & G Subdivision: Final Plat Approved
Following is the Planning Staff's memorandum on this item:
This is a proposal to create two 66' x 622' subdivided lots for what is presently
two unsubdivided tracts. Both tracts are currently developed with single family
homes fronting on Taft Hill Road. These tracts are part of a row of several
such tracts developed in the County prior to annexation. The purpose of the
subdivision is that the applicant wishes to change the status of these parcels
from "tracts" to "lots", therefore allowing rearlot development which otherwise
could not legally occur.
At its August 16, 1977, meeting the City Council tabled this item and instructed
the City Administration to explore the feasibility of running a road from the
east end of Oak Street north to Laporte Avenue. The major purpose of this road
would be to provide emergency access to both the rears of the two lots included
in the M & G Subdivision and also to the tracts north of this subdivision were
they to subdivide also. The Fire Department has indicated that it can adequately
serve development at the rears of these two lots provided that the following are
provided:
1. a private access road twenty (20) feet wide, having an all-weather
surface and turn -around capacity and;
2. a fire hydrant on Taft Hill Road within 600' of the proposed
subdivision.
Attached is a letter I sent to property owners who would be immediately affected
by a street between Oak and Lemay inquiring about their potential interest in
such a road. As of the date of this memo, three of these property owners have
contacted the Planning Office. All were in opposition to the road primarily
because they 1) view it as being unnecessary and 2) are against the anticipated
high volume of traffic from Poudre High School and Ramblewood Apartments which
would use this road.
Construction of this road should not be considered a City priority, and unless
there is strong property owner support, it is questionable if the City should
initiate its construction. Concerning the question of fire access, the Fire
Department has no problems with this subdivision or subsequent subdivisions for
similar lots to the north, provided the above -listed conditions are met.
107
September 6, 1977
Director of Planning Les Kaplan, reported on the response
received from property owners and a petition in opposition
to having a street run through the rear of their property.'
The staff is recommending a condition that there be a 60
easement for a road in the back third of the lot, in
addition to the private access road and the placement of
a fire hydrant on Taft Hill Road.
Mrs. William H. Young spoke to the traffic problems now on
LaPorte and if a road were built she would recommend it
dead end at the last lot.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Gray to approve the final plat for M & G Subdivision without
any requirement for an easement. Yeas: Councilmembers
Bowling, Gray and Wilkinson. Nays: Councilmembers Bloom

recently rezoned from R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential District, to
R-L-M, Low Density Multiple -Family District.
Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation: Conditional. Approval
At its August 8 meeting the Board voted unanimously to recommend approval

10 9�
September 6, 1977
When Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the preliminary plan
and final plats of the subdivision on March 7 and April 11,
respectively, the Board recommended approval subject to several '
technical conditions. These conditions were met; however,
an issue has arisen concerning the utility plans which were
recently submitted. This issue involves the provision of side-
walks, and is discussed in the attached report. In summary,
the applicant does not feel that sidewalks would be necessary
on both sides of the streets in the development. Staff, on the
other hand, feels that whereas sidewalks on both sides would
not be necessary on every street, they should be required along
the side of any street with industrial lots on that side of
the street (i.e. sidewalk on both sides of the streets with
lots on both sides). Justification for this position is
included in the Planning memo. .Because the sidewalk question
is pending, utility plans have been reviewed but not approved.
Once the sidewalk issue is resolved, the utility plans will
be approved without additional conditions.
Council needs to resolve this issue and instruct the developer
regarding the location of sidewalks."
Mr. Gary Ross, agent for the developer, stated they had not
understood that the recommendation from the Planning staff
was that the sidewalk be on the south side of the road.
Councilman Suinn made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling '
that this item be referred back to the Planning and Zoning
Board for discussion of sidewalks, in not only this context
but the general context of industrial park development.
(This motion was later withdrawn.)
Mr. Jim Rhoades, representing Rhoades Realty, spoke to the
need to move ahead on this item prior to snowfall.
Councilman Suinn made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling
to approve the Center Point Park Subdivision, Final Plat
conditioned upon a requirement that there be sidewalks on
all roads on all sides, and refer the question back to the
