The Brown Farm started out as a concept where there would be a homeowners' association and they would maintain the club house area and various open areas mainly for drainage purposes. As the lots sold, the homeowners' association did not turn out to be a viable organization. Upon negotiations with the developers, the Engineering Department and the Administrative Staff, an agreement had been reached in order to satisfy City needs for drainage, for access, for utilities, etc. The developer has conveyed the fee title or easement to the City for the various areas. In the conveyance it had been stipulated that the City would maintain the conveyed area as the City sees fit and it is anticipated that it will be low level maintenance. The bicycle path has been relocated and installed. Therefore, there are two things asked; (1) that Council accept the conveyances of the easements and fees and (2) that Council adopt the ordinances that will vacate the old bicycle path easements since it is not needed. Councilmembers expressed concern that there is still open area that will not be maintained. City Manager Brunton and City Attorney March responded that these areas have been added to lots or something that the City has agreed to take over. Also, they again stated that it had been explained that this,area would receive low maintenance.

The concern was that employ- ment may have to do with how one employs, rather than if one employs. Also, "and review of performance of the City Manager, City Attorney, or other direct Council employees." 1 90 Then in Part (ii), in the third line, he recommended striking the words "regarding controversies." Then in Part (iii) the City Attorney recommended line one read, "considera- tion of water and real property acquisitions." Attorney Ben Napheys, representing the Coloradoan presented a position statement by Mr. Robert Lee, publisher, regarding the attempt to tighten the provisions of the Ordinance. He also addressed the editorial of February 15, 1976 regarding closed meetings. Mr. Robert Lee spoke to the question stating "if this ordinance is declared invalid, for what ever reason ---would the Council revert to the original ordinance?" City Attorney March stated that this is not the intent. Mr. Dan Lattimore, Assistant Professor of Journalism at CSU, spoke in support of the Coloradoan's position. Mr. Andy Anderson, 1421 Skyline Drive requested clarification of the City Manager's memorandum on this item and further requested if Council would place this item on the ballot at a future election. Mr. Ron Heard, 620 Colorado Avenue, addressed the Council regarding the closed provision.for review of the City Manager's performance, further the news media, either inclusion or exclusion at a closed meeting. Mayor Russell read the following letter from KCOL into the record. Mayor Jack Russell - City of Fort Collins Municiple Building Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Dear Mr. Mayor: KCOL Radio wishes to respond for the record to City Manager Robert B:-unton's request that all local media advise the Council of their reaction to proposed ordinance #21 amending section 2-2B of the code of the City of Fort Collins relating to Executive Meetings of the City Council. KCOL Radio is sympathetic to the limited but done -the -less real. need for executive sessions. We do not agree with some of our col- leagues that executive sessions per se are contrary to the public interest or unduly thwart its "right to knows." When properly restricted as to subject matter, executive sessions serve to iisure the delicate balance between the rights of .individuals and the rights of the general public. 91 Having been privileged in the past to executive sessions of the Fort Collins City Council in the person of our News Director and upon review of ordinance #21 we find no basis for challenge. Paren— thetically let me reaffirm our long standing qualification of the above: that is in the event our news representative present at - executive sessions concludes that the Council is departing from areas covered by executive session privilege or in any way attempts to abridge its intent we will not hesitate to ask for a point of order and failing that will discharge our foremost responsibility to report such action to our listeners. Sincerely, JJM/kag American Information . y Radio Network Councilman Bloom made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkinson to amend in Section 1, Part B, subsection (i), sub -subsection (a) by changing the word "employment" to "hiring", and by adding at the end, "and review of the performance of City Manager, the City Attorney, or other direct Council employees." In the same Part B, subsection (ii),be amended in the third line by deleting the words "regarding controversies." Also in the same Part B subsection (iii) be amended by adding after the words "consideration of the following "water and real." Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves to adopt Ordinance No. 21, 1976 as amended. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None. It was the direction of the Mayor to the City Attorney to report back on the next Council Work Session on the Council Consensus, putting this item on the ballot in 1977. Citizen Participation Petition for Crossing Guard at Bauder School Mr. Donald Batchelder, 1501 S. Briarwood Road of the Bauder School P.A.B. presented petitions which would authorize a crossing guard for crossing at the corner of Prospect and Fuqua. 92 City Manager Brunton advised the Council that Mr. and Mrs. Batchelder had met with the traffic committee regarding this problem and there had not been sufficient time to report back on this item. Therefore, he suggested Council consider this request at the Work Session of February 24, 1976. Mr. Dan McGrew, 2404 Evergreen Drive, spoke to the excess speed at that crossing. Also, Principal William Bruss spoke to the problem of the push button light. Mrs. Janet Eddy spoke to the safety consideration of the parents who attempt to act as crossing guards. Assistant Police Chief Jerry Wallace stated for the remainder of the budget year it would require $1,300 or a total year of $1,600. Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to provide a crossing guard for the remainder of this school year as soon as one can be recruited.

Both Boards have made reports on their hearings to the effect that they do not feel there should be any designation in those areas. The recommendation from the City Attorney is that Council not designate because the areas and activities can be regulated and controlled so that they do not pose a particular problem -to either the community or the state through traditional means. City Attorney March expressed the three areas of concern as follm%,s: A. In many areas the bill seems to actually restrict the power of local government to deal with growth and land use problems. This is particularly apparent in the provision which prevents application,of the law to a development which was already zoned for the contemplated activity at the time of the effective date of the bill (C.R.S. 1973, Sec. 24-65.1-107). B. A major concern over the fact that the threshold step in acting under the bill is to designate the matter as one of state interest. I have some fear that future laws may not leave the regulation and administration to local agencies but may place this in the hands of state agencies. Since I am firmly convinced that local government can better deal with the areas of concern„ I have great hesitancy in voluntarily designating any of such areas as being of state interest. 1 94 C. Traditional means of regulation, such as zoning, subdivision laws, btpilding codes, and the like, coupled with the powers granted by House Bill 1034 in the same legislative session, provide better means of regulating and controlling the areas and activities, of concern. These controls do not contain the restrictions contained in House Bill 1041 nor do they require that the area be designated as one of state interest. Finally, the inconsistencies and other problems of interpretation which one meets in working under House Bill 1041 are not present using the more traditional tools. •\ Councilwoman Gray inquired if the Cultural Resources Roard would be interested and would they be requested to hold a hearing on the "areas containing or impacting upon historic, natural, or archaeological resources, (historic sites, shorelands of publicly owned reservoirs, and wildlife habitats), which the Landmark Preservation Commission had not elected to hold hearings heretofore. Councilwoman Reeves inquired into the designation of the Joe Wright Reservoir City Attorney March stated that when the County has its hearing, Council could make determination as to its desires in the area. Councilman Bowling expressed his concern for the soil conditions as relates to the foothills. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom that the Council not designate any area or activities in the City Limits to be of state-wide concern. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Gray, Reeves and Wilkinson. Nays: Councilman Bowling. (Russell out of room.) Council then discussed the 1041 measures in the County. Director of Planning - Lester Kaplan spoke to the funding under the bill. Mr. Kaplan recommended = that Council present its input regarding various areas in the County at the County's Public Hearings. Some of the areas of concern in the County would be: Foothills area Utility Extension Policy within the County Airports Mass Transit Acting Chairman Bowling referred the above items to the administration for further reports. 1 I 95 1 I Peverley's Riverside Subdivision Conditionally Approved - City Attorney March stated the Planning and Zoning Board had approved a one lot subdivision in formerly the Riverside Subdivision, 7th Filing. Riverside Subdivision, 7th Filing was approved by Council except that the power of the developer to sign for all of the owners blew up and the City does not have a viable agreement. The owner of this lot has been advised that Council would probably not approve a single lot subdivision, unless the City is assured that there is an answer to the overall drainage and traffic problem in the area. The administration has discussed these problems with the developer and recommends that Council approve the one lot subdivision with the understanding that a utility agreement will be reached with this owner, that they will pay their share of the drainage, street improvement, etc., for public improvements in the area and that they will retain their own drainage, on site, until the improvements are in, with a further understanding that, the City will do this frontage as a City expense to pick up the costs before any improvements are allowed on any of the individual lots, or until the entire thing is approved as a subdivison with correct signatures on it. City Manager Brunton spoke to the difficulties which have been encountered in Street Improvement 69 and Water Main Improvement- District ..16 in this ' area. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom to approve the one lot subdivision (Peverley's Riverside Subdivision) -conditioned upon a satisfactory utility agreement and that there be only one curb cut.

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Relating to Licenses to Operate Amusement Devices Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: In January,1976 the Fort Collins City Council discussed the status of various surety bond requirements. At that time it was recommended that in some areas the surety bond requirement should be eliminated entirely and in other cases there should be greater standardization. Ordinance No. 22, 1976, provides for the elimination of the $500 bond requirement to operate amusement devices. Councilman Bloom made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkinson to adopt Ordinance No. 22, 1976 on first reading. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson.

Our City Attorney feels that it is not necessary to change any of the platted subdivision papers. It will, however, be the responsibility of the owners to see that this matter is recorded in the County Court House. Spring Creek Village is the single-family subdivision between Parkwood Sub- division and Stuart Street. This change is requested to clarify different ownerships. Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council approve the request to change the name of this subdivision from Spring Creek Village to Stonehenge, First Filing. Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkinson to change the name of the subdivision from Spring Creek Village to Stonehenge, First Filing. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Resolution Adopted Changing Name of Springwood Drive to Stonehenge Drive Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: In connection with the change of name of subdivision from Spring Creek Village to Stonehenge, First Filing, the property owners would also like to change the street name. They have requested that the street be changed from Spring - wood Drive to Stonehenge Drive. This can be accomplished very easily since there are no homes built on this street at the present time. There is also another Springwood Drive and changing the name of this street will eliminate any confusion. Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council adopt the aforementioned resolution changing the street name of Springwood Drive to Stonehenge Drive. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves to adopt the resolution. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None. 97 1 RESOLUTION 76-14 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS CHANGING THE NAME OF THE STREET FORMERLY KNOWN AS SPRINGWOOD DRIVE IN THE SPRING CREEK VILLAGE SUBDIVISION IN THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS that the name of that certain street designated on the plat of Spring Creek Village Subdivision in the City of Fort Collins as Springwood Drive be, and the same hereby is, changed to Stonehenge Drive.

Petition for Street Improvement District Accented and Referred to Administration Following is the City Manager's memorandum on tHiK tem' cne. C_... On February 9, 1976,,we received a petition from various property owners requesting a special assessment street improvement district to provide for the construction of proposed Mason Street from Drake Road south to Horsetooth Road. The petition called for certain criteria. At the present time our staff is busy working on various projects including several special assessment districts. It will take some time, unless we drop this other work, for us to review this proposed project. There is also the major question of the City's financial participation in this project. Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council receive the aforementioned petition with the understanding that the City staff will report on the feasibility of this project at the March 23, 1976, Council Work Session. Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to approve the recommendation of the administration. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson.

The preliminary site plan 102 covers the whole site and if it's approved it will require that final land- scape plans and a final site plan be submitted for each phase. Following are the staff recommendations on the preliminary plan. 1. Pedestrian circulation would be improved by providing an east -west walkway across the main parking area from the McDonalds to the retail stores in the middle and east end of the project. The landscaped islands for this pedestrian link would also break up the only large expanse of asphalt in the project. 2. Interior vehicular circulation should be clarified at several points of conflict. 3. The preliminary plan does not adequately indicate where mature existing trees are located and how they would be preserved and incorporated into the site layout. The preliminary plan should be revised to indi- cate this. 4. Conceptual perspectives of the site indicating architectural intent should be submitted. 5. A ten foot (101) easement should be indicated for existing utilities on the site. Councilwoman Gray expressed concern about the traffic light at West Elizabeth and City Park Avenue. Councilman Bloom expressed concern about the adequacy of parking. Councilman Bowling stated he liked the plan as revised and approved of the preservation of trees and landscaping. Councilwoman Reeves expressed concern for the traffic circulation pattern and perhaps that McDonalds be a sit down restaurant rather than a drive through. Councilman Wilkinson stated the parking requirements are based on zones and not a specific business. Mr. Bruce Keenan and Mr. Dick Powers spoke to the proposal. Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkinson to approve the revised preliminary site plan of the Town Square P.U.D. Yeas: Council - members Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Preliminary Plan of Oakbrook Apartments P.U.D. Approved Senior Planner Paul Deibel stated this is a:proposal to provide Section 8 housing for the elderly, located on a six acre site, south of Swallow between Stanford Road and Stover Street. The site plan calls for a single building, three stories with a total of 107 units. The staff has expressed concern for parking; the plan provides for one parking space per unit and the P.U.D. Ordinance requires one and one-half spaces, making a deficiency of 55 spaces. At its February 2 meeting the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval with the following conditions suggested by staff: 103 LJ 1 1. Concerning parking: a) The developer should document the reduced demand for parking in housing for the elderly. b) If this reduced demand can be satisfactorily documented, the site plan should nevertheless indicate how 55 additional parking spaces could be added to the site. c) With the final plan, a legal agreement should be drawn between the project owner and the City requiring those extra spaces be installed if and when units in the building ever convert to conventional use. 2. The walkway around the north side of the building should be designed to allow emergency fire access to the north side of the building and from the west parking lot to the east parking lot. The revised plan included the above recommendation, but the reduced parking had not been solved. The recommendation of the staff and Planning and Zoning Board was for approval with the documentation for the extra parking and with the condition that the final plan have the legal agreement submitted with it. Mr. Mike Wiley, of American Development Corporation, stated the documentation was difficult to obtain._ Councilmembers inquired into what segment of the community would be eligible for housing in this -.project. Mr. Wiley stated their criteria was that all - of the residents must be 62 years and older. Councilman Bowling inquired who would "pick up the tab" if the units were not filled by the 62 years or older. Mr. Wiley stated that if in fact, there is no demand, the project would be turned back to F.H.A. The architect spoke to the recreational facilities. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom to approve the preliminary plan of Oakbrook Apartments with full parking. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Resolution Adopted Approving Amendments to the Electrical Service Rules and Regulations and Proposed Amendments to the Electrical Construction Policies, Practices, and Procedures Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: The aforementioned recommended amendments are listed in a memo from Robert A. Kest to Arthur E. March, Jr. Most of the proposed changes are editorial or teflect clarification of present procedures and rules.
