Resolution Adopted Authorizing
the City to Enter into a Governmental
Agreement with Larimer County and
Curtis E. Smith
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"On December 26, 1978, Curtis E. Smith entered into an agree-
ment with Larimer County for consulting services. Curtis E.
Smith is now Chief Planner for the City. Therefore, staff re-
commends the City be assigned his contract with Larimer County
for full responsibility of performances under the agreement
and entitled to all payments due and owing Curtis Smith from
Larimer County."
Councilman Wilkinson stated he had requested this item be re-
moved from the consent calendar, because he felt that any time '
the Council is dealing with one of the City's employees, and
entering into a contract with the County, there should be a
brief explanation, for the record.
Planning and Development Director, Chuck Mabry, reported that
Curtis Smith, who has the contract to complete the Corridor
Study, with the County, has come to work for the City, as Chief
Planner for the City. Rather than have Mr'. Smith in two posi-
tions, this item was taken to the Corridor Steering Committee
and they have agreed that the City would finalize the work, and
receive the remuneration for the work under the contract, in-
stead of Curtis Smith.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman St.
Croix, to adopt the resolution. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling,

' Ordinance Adopted on Second Reading
Amending the Code and Increasing the
Docket Fees for the Filing of an Appeal
with the Building Board of Appeals
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item
"This Ordinance was passed favorably on first reading at the
May 1, Council meeting.
Presently, our Code states that a docket fee a person pays
for filing an application to the Building Board of Appeals for
a variance or interpretation is $10. This fee has been in ef-
fect since 1971..
Staff is recommending an increase of the docket fee to $25 if
the appeal is to be heard at a regular meeting and $35 if a
special meeting needs to be called. These new rates are re-
presentative of the amount of time generally spent in preparing
for an appeal and just cover our hard costs. We have increased
the fee for special meetings.
We will further review these fees as part of the 1980 budget for
possible additional increases for January 1, 1980.
Staff recommends adoption."
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman St.
Croix, to adopt Ordinance No. 54, 1979, on second reading.

Resolution Adopted as Amended
Approving the 1979-81 Community
Development Block Grant Budget
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This item has been discussed at two public hearings and a
work session. The changes that we have made and which are
reflected in the Resolution for 1979 are:
1. Funding of the safe house at a level of $100,000.
2. Deletion of all funding for the Housing Authority
Land Set Aside.
-427-
May 15, 1979
3. Movement of the $35,000 in seed money for Housing '
Services to the Contingency Fund.
4. Movement of the $5,000 for the Community Center
restroom to contingency since the project will be
completed in the very near future with budgeted
general fund monies.
Ms. Fern Robertson from the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corpora-
tion will be present to discuss with Council the Neighborhood
Housing Services Program.
Jim Woods has further recommended (see attachement) that any
improvements to the HVAC system at the Community Center not
be completed with Community Development Block Grant funds be-
cause of a concern over the eligibility of these expenditures
in the H.U.D. guidelines."
Councilman Wilmarth asked "do we have to submit the budget for
1980 and 1981, since we haven't gone over them at all in any de-
tail?" He expressed concern that the Council has had inade-
quate discussion and inadequate direction given to the groups
for next year, or to anybody relying on this action as a mean-
ingful one. He commented further "I am very much concerned in
terms of our misleading the public in sending this document '
anywhere, without any more discussion than we have had about
1980 and 1981."
Councilwoman Gray stated she did not want to discuss the re-
solution, as she felt the 1980 and 1981 plans were tentative
and the Committee would be meeting again to discuss the 1980
and 1981 funding. Councilman St. Croix concurred with comments
made by Councilman Wilmarth.
Housing Rehabilitation Director, Jim Woods, responded that an
amendment could be made to the resolution, further, he stated
Council will be submitting two components: (1) the 1979 annual
program and budget and (2) the three year project summary.
H.U.D. will approve the application which is submitted every
third year, and on annual years the City will be submitting an
annual program and budget.
Councilwoman Reeves expressed concern that no funds had been
included for 1980, or 1981 for the Land set aside. Councilman
Wilkinson inquired into the allowed uses for contingency funds.
Councilman Wilmarth also expressed concern for the $5,000 which
had been deleted from the Mountain Avenue Restroom, and projects
which may be ineligible.
Ms. Fern Robertson, Assistant Field Representative for Neigh-
borhoodI
Reinvestment, spoke to the $35,000 requested for the
-428-
May 15, 1979
Neighborhood Housing Services. Consensus of the Council
was to retain this $35,000 amount in contingency, and request
a future presentation on this item, at a work session.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wil-
kinson, to amend the resolution by striking "Amendments to
the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the 1979
---1981 Community Development Program Budgets" and inserting
"the 1979 Community Development Block Grant Application in-
cluding the following 1979 Annual Program and Three Year Pro-

' Agreement for Residential Fire Station in
Southwest Section of Fort Collins Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Last year, Council approved the concept and appropriated funds
for the construction of a "residential" fire station to be lo-
cated in the southwest section of town.
Basically, the facility would be a regular house with an over-
sized garage. When the service area became such as to justify
a full -service fire station, the house would be sold, thereby,
recapturing the City's investment.
We are pleased to report we have successfully negotiated an
agreement with Trend Homes of Nebraska, Inc. under the terms of
which Trend Homes would donate a site and build the facility at
cost. The proposed facility will be built at a cost.of $36,900.
The 1979 Capital budget contains $59,000 for this project which
will cover the additional costs of garage oversizing and equipping
the facility.
The City is most appreciative of Trend Homes' generous donation
and recommends that Council approve the Agreement."

He then made
questions Council
a short presentation
on three basic problems the
planning staff
had pointed out.
1. Traffic exiting from
the site; this
has been addressed by
channeling the exit
from Wendy's so
the turn is in a east-
erly direction only.
2. Internal circulation; a linking walk has been made to connect
with the side walk on the interior of the plan.
3. A potential reduction in the quality of the P.U.D. from
what was orginally planned for the site; the quality of
shops desired were not found. More landscaping is included
in this plan and the size of buildings has been reduced.
Attorney Arthur March Jr. representing the owner of the property
stated Council should be aware that the property has been sold
and sold on the basis of preliminary approval by the previous

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading
Amending the Zoning Ordinance Relating
to Nonconforming, Use
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Council reviewed proposed changes to the nonconforming use
ordinance at the April 24th Work Session. Based on comments from
the meeting, the City Attorney staff prepared the attached Ordi-
nance providing for three changes:
' 1. Any change of a nonconforming use, other than to a
conforming use, shall require Planning and Zoning
Board's review;
-433-
May 15, 1979
2. The period of time of abandonment of a nonconforming I
use is changed from two (2) years to one (1) year;
and
3. Any enlargement of a building containing a noncon-
forming use shall require Planning and Zoning Board's
review. At the present time, only enlargements in
excess of 25% need City review. We are concerned that
this proposed change which will require all enlargements
to be reviewed by Planning and Zoning Board will add
a considerable amount of work to the Board. An ac-
ceptable alternative may be to set some percentage limit
of expansion which would not require review.
Staff recommends approval."
City Attorney Liley stated after the work session, an amendment
had been prepared; an item #3 of the City Manager's memorandum;
there is a 25% enlargement which a property owner can do without
Planning and Zoning approved. The Ordinance as written states
"any enlargement" would have to go to the Planning and Zoning
Board.
Councilwoman Gray stated she preferred the ordinance as written,
and if it is found to be a burden, it could be amended at a '
later date. Councilman Wilkinson agreed.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman St.
Croix, to adopt Ordinance No. 57, 1979, on first reading. Yeas:

they do not appear as an authorized use in the "B-L" zone.

be added as an authorized use to the "B-L" zone, that they con-
form to specific setback and parking requirements as set forth

forth in the "B-L" zone.

THE MOTION CARRIED.
Ordinance Adopted on First Reading
' Annexing Properties Known as the South
College Properties Annexation
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This is a "super block" proposal to annex 190 acres located on
the northeast corner of the intersection of South College Avenue
and Harmony Road.
Council has had several discussions on this annexation, the most
recently being at the May 8th Work Session. For further review,
attached is a copy of the County Commissioners' comments on this
proposed annexation that was read at the Work Session.
Again for clarification, approval of this annexation and suc-
ceeding zoning and master plan item, in no way, gives approval
for the Special Improvement District issue. If Council approves
this annexation and zoning, then the Special Improvement District
issue will come to Council at the Work Session on May 22nd prior
to second and final reading approval of these ordinances on June
5th.
Staff recommends approval."

May 15, 1979
Assistant City Manager Lanspery stated he wished to make a cor-
rection to the City Manager's memorandum, in paragraph 3. The
Special Improvement issue is listed as coming back to the Coun-
cil on May 22: this item will probably come back on June 12
or June 22 and the final reading of this Ordinance and the zon-
ing Ordinance is recommended to be July 3, 1979.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman St.
Croix, to adopt Ordinance No. 44, 1979, on first reading. Yeas:
Councilmembers Bowling, Kross, Reeves, St. Croix, Wilkinson and
Wilmarth. Nays: Councilwoman Gray.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Ordinance Adopted on First Reading
Zoning Properties Known as the South
College Properties Annexation
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This Ordinance provides for the zoning of the South College
Properties Annexation.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended the following:
"H-B" - 26.3090 acres more or less
"R-Pt' - 33.6746 acres more or less
"R-M-P" - 19.8363 acres more or less (EXHIBIT "A")
"B-P" - 82.8913 acres more or less
This is in contrast to the Petitioners' request for:
"H-B" - 58.2734 acres more or less
"R-P" - 23.3527 acres more or less
"R-M-P" - 19.8363 acres more or less (EXHIBIT "B")
"B-P" - 61.2488 acres more or less
The Petitioners submitted a revised zoning proposal in response
to the comments of Council aired at the January 16 regular meet-
ing and the February 27 Work Session. The zoning pattern is the
same as originally petitioned; however, they would agree to the
following conditions:
1
1. That any uses in the "H-B" and "B-P" zones would be
permitted only as a part of a P.U.D.
2. That only residential uses be allowed in the "R-P" and
"R-M-P" zoning districts.,, '
-438-
May 15, 1979
3. That the following "B-P" uses on the 10.3 acre par-
cel in the northeast corner of the intersection of
John F. Kennedy and Harmony Road are not suitable and
should not be allowed:
a. Gas stations
b. Supermarkets dnd grocery stores
c. Hardware and paint stores
d. Variety stores
e. Sporting goods stores
f. Drive-in restaurant
q. Furniture stores
h. Fast food restaurants
i. Drugstores
j. Gift shops
k. Jewelry stores
1. Music stores
m. Television sales
n. Small animal veterinary hospitals
o. Hotels and motels
4. That any "super block" planning area be master planned
before any plat, site plan, or building permit is
considered for that "super block."
' 5. That prior to any plat, site plan, or building permit
for the entire 190 acre parcel is considered, a unified
storm drainage plan for the area must be submitted and
approved.
On April 10, Council tabled this item until May 15 which would allow
further discussion at the May 8th Work Session. At the May 8th Work
Session, Council requested information on what would be included in the
zoning contract for this site. Attached is a memo from the City Attorney
which addresses this.
Staff feels that the above -stated conditions would address the comments
concerning zoning that City Council made in earlier sessions. Staff,
therefore, recommends approval of the Petitioners' zoning request with the
understanding that these conditions will be addressed in the zoning and
annexation agreements which will be submitted to Council for approval
before second reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances.

Other Business
(a). Jail agreement extension
Following is a memorandum from Assistant City Attorney Deagle
on this item:
I would appreciate it if you would bring this up under
Other Business on May 15:
"For the past year, the City has had an inter- ,
governmental agreement with Larimer County
concerning the municipal jail. Under the terms
of that agreement, the County agrees to accept
and house our prisoners at the Larimer County
jail and to use our municipal jail as a temporary
holding facility for juveniles. Both the City
and the County have been pleased with the
operation under the agreement - the County gets
the space it needs for a juvenile facility and
the City gets out of the jail business.
That agreement has now expired. Originally, we
were going to recommend it be extended for an
additional two year period; however, the County
has encountered some budgetary difficulties and
is requesting that at this time we extend the
agreement to August. Hopefully, this will give
them sufficient time to square away this funding.
Therefore, we request that by motion you extend
the present agreement until August."

Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Reeves, to approve the extension of the Jail Agreement with
Larimer County to August 1, 1979. Yeas: Councilmembers
Bowling, Gray, Kross, Reeves, St. Croix, Wilkinson and Wil-
marth. Nays: None.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
(b). A letter from Chuck Mabry regarding Pay and Pack was
read into the record:
I have just completed a meeting with Mr. Peter W. Gallena, Vice President
for Store Development for Pay N Pak Stores, Inc. A number of matters
were discussed but the major one from my perspective concerned the color
of the Pay N Pak store on South College. Mr. Gallena informed me that
that is their standard design and color and that they would not change
it regardless of what the City said. I informed him that the City had
no authority that I was aware of to require a change of color because
his development was not part of a P.U.D. I further informed him,
however, of the negative comments we were receiving from people in the
community and how people were concerned about the color of the building
being out of character for the area. His reply was that they have received
negative comments about the color in other communities but that people get
over it and stop complaining after a while. I indicated to him that I felt
that was an unfortunate attitude and that people in Fort Collins do not
have very short memories. I also indicated to him that we would be
informing all people who inquired, about his attitude and the reason why
he refused to even consider changing the color of the building.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 P.M.
