Resolution of the Council of the City of Fort Collins adopted approving a temporary use permit agreement to be entered into with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: From time to time the City acquires units of water in the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. Eventually these acquisitions are transferred to the City under a contract which is approved by a formal ordinance of the City and the District. In order to avoid having to go through this formal procedure each time, a temporary -use permit has been developed by the District. Acquisitions are held on these permits until the City has acquired enough units to justify going through the more formal administrative procedure. At this time the City has only one unit which has not been formally allocated by ordinance. The permit for this unit is about to expire. This Resolution will authorize a new temporary use permit for the one unit. RESOLUTION 78-8 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE. CITY OF FORT COLLINS APPROV- ING A TEMPORARY USE PERMIT AGREEMENT TO BE ENTERED INTO WITH THE NORTHERN NLORADO WATER CON-EU VANCY DISTRICT 72 L February 7, 1978 I WHEM S, the City of Fort Collins has obtained 1 acre�foot unit of the waters of the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and presently holds this allocation under a temporary use permit from the Con- servancy District; and WHEREAS, said current temporary use permit is about to expire and the district has tendered to the City a new temporary use permit for 1 acre- foot unit, allocating such waters to the City; and WHEREAS, such temporary use permit has been approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney and it is in the best interests of the City to execute the same.

Resolutions of the Council of the City of Fort Collins ' adopted approving an agreement to be entered into with the Board of County Commissioners of Larimer County. Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: Attached are two agreements with Larimer County for library services. One agreement deals with the provision of bookmobile services and one deals with the provision of general library services for residents of Larimer County. Council is continually striving to foster a cooperative, working relationship with the County. Most recently, these efforts have been directed toward planning coordination. Our present relationship with the County regarding library services, however, is a prime example of intergovernmental cooperation. Of the $125,000 allocated by Larimer County for library services,.Fort Collins will receive a total of $77,900 or approximately 62%. Of this amount, $35,000 is for bookmobile services. This arount covers the City's complete cost for providing this service. It should be noted that the bookmobile services county residents within our City limits as well as those in outlying regions.. The remaining $42,900 allocation is for general library services. The annunt allocated to Fort Collins is based on population distribution within the County (approximately 62% of County residents reside within Fort Collins). In the absence of hard data regarding actual useage of the library by outlying ' County residents, this population formula seems fair. Once the library's computer circulation system is implemented in 1978, we will be able to better account for actual useage of the library by County residents. At that time we can evaluate our allocation more realistically. a. RESOLUTION 78-9 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS APPROVING AN AGREEMENT TO BE ENTERED INTO WITH THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF LARIMER COUNTY WHEREAS, heretofore the City of Fort Collins and the County of Larimer entered into an agreement regarding the operation of the City and County libraries; and WHEREAS, in the opinion of the Council of the City of Fort Collins it is desirable to continue such agreement, and a new agreement has been prepared to continue the same arrangement for the year 1978; and 74 February 7, 1978 ' WHEREAS, said agreement has been approved by the City Attorney and the City Manager. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF, THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS that the terms and conditions of said agreement be, and the same hereby are, accepted and approved; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Clerk be, and they hereby are, authorized and directed to execute said agreement for and on behalf of the City of Fort Collins.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS that the terms and conditions of said agreement be, and the same hereby are, accepted and approved; and 75 February 7, 1978 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Clerk be, and they I hereby are, authorized and directed to execute said agreement for and on behalf of the City of Fort Collins. Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held this 7r}, day of February , A.D. 1978. 10. Easement from Colorado and Southern Railway approved. Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: The attached Grant of Easement and Right of Way for Public Street is required ' in connection with the Mason Street Improvement District, for the purpose of dedication of right of way for turn bays at the Mason Street/Drake Road (adjoin- ing Ghent Nbtors), and Mason Street/Horsetcoth Road (adjoining Rocky Hills Skating Rink) intersections. Right of way for drainage facilities is also included in the dedication. The consideration of $250 will be included in the City's share of costs for the improvement district. 11. Replat of Landings, First Filing, P.U.D. approved. Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: At the time of final approval of the Landings, First Filing, the subdivision plat included all building envelopes. The envelopes were additionally placed on the site plan. 76 February 7, 1978 After final approval, the developer needed to make sane changes involving the building envelope on one of the lots. Normally, this can legally be handled administratively. However, since in this case the building envelopes were placed on the plat, which has been recorded, the change involving the building envelope cannot be done administratively. Further, it is conceivable that changes involving other building envelopes may be necessary in the future. Since we can handle this very easily administratively, we advised the developer to submit a replat eliminating all building envelopes. Zhis will allow the developer to make changes regarding the building envelopes without the neces- sity of a formal replat for each,change. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn to approve the Consent Calendar. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Russell, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.

THE MOTION CARRIED 77 February 7, 1978 Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Amending Sections 118-41F, 118-42F, 118-43F and 118-44F of the Code of ' the City of Fort Collins Relating to Minimum Side Yard Requirements in the R-L, R-L-M, and R-H Zoning Districts Under the Zoning Ordinance Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: Some time ago Council directed that the side yard requirements for residential zones be reduced to five feet. An ordinance was passed which reduced the minimum side yard width to five feet; however, a formula requiring a side yard equal to one foot of side yard width for each three. feet of building height was retained in the ordinance. Since nost single-family structures are more than fifteen feet in height, the ordinance did not fully accanplish its purpose. Subsequently, we have prepared an ordinance which would eliminate the formula for single family uses and merely require a five-foot side yard. Dr. Bonsal Johnson, 1828 Manchester Drive, spoke in opposi- tion to the passage of this Ordinance due to what he con- sidered safety factors. City Attorney March informed Council this Ordinance was before Council because the previous amendment which Council had directed, which reduced the set back to five feet, was not effective because the height limitation had been over- looked.

These preliminary activities are required by HUD prior to authorization of a contract to fund the project under the con- ventional method of construction. The $18,000 will be a preliminary loan. Repayrrent of the preliminary loan is an allowable cost under the HUD project contract.

A_=ST: City Clerk Palmer Plaza P.U.D., Final Plans Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: I Description: Proposal for a commercial shopping center on 2.05 acres zoned H-B, Highway Business District, located on South College Avenue, south of Harvard Street. Applicant: Spiro Palmer, 261 South College, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Council approved the preliminary plan for this proposal on January 17, 1978, with the following conditions: 1. Provisions for on -site detention must be coordinated with the Engineering Department; 2. Unless ccm on driveways with the properties to the north and south can be provided, the northern curb cut on this site should be moved 15-20 feet south to increase the separation between it and the Firestone Dealership's adjacent driveway, and the curb cut adjacent to Ed Carrol's Volkswagen should be moved as far north as possible; WM February 7, 1978 ' .3. A landscape maintenance guarantee must be approved by the City Attorney before final Council approval; 4. Utility tie-ins should be shown on the site plan. Conditions 1, 2, and 4 were met. Although the landscape maintenance guarantee is not finalized, the applicant has contacted the Assistant City Attorney. We anticipate receiving the mainte- nance guarantee prior to the February 7 Council meeting. Planning staff recommends approval subject to receipt of a satisfactory landscape maintenance guarantee. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman St. Croix to approve the Palmer Plaza P.U.D., Final Plans. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Russell, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED Case Subdivision, Final Plan Approved ' Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: This is a request for two single-family lots on West Prospect Street. The site is adjacent to residential lots on three sides. The proposed plan was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board on January 9, 1978. The following comrents were made: 1. The plat should indicate that only one curb cut will be allowed from this site onto Viest Prospect Street. This will probably involve provision of a common access easement along the lot line between the lots; 2. The increased dedication of R.O.W. for Prospect Street should be indicated: 3. Water will have to be extended from Cedanaood Drive to serve the site; 4. The applicant should enter into an agreement to participate in the eventual improvement of Prospect Street; 5. An Attorney's statement must be included on the plat. ' The above conditions were met. Planning staff recommends approval. February 7, 1978 Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilman ' Suinn to approve the Case Subdivision, Final Plan, subject to the developers entering into a Subdivision Agreement. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Russell, St Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED Parkview Estates P.U.D., Final Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Subdivision Plat Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: This is a proposal for 277 dwelling units on a 24-acre site zoned R-M and R-H, and located north of West Drake Road and east of South Shields Street. Council approved preliminary plans for this site on September 6, 1977. Several conditions were stipulated at that time, including that access drives meet P.U.D. requirements for private streets. All conditions previously stipulated were met with the exception of the P.U.D. requirement for private streets. Staff does not, however, consider the canon driveways as "private streets" because their purpose is to provide access from the street to the unit's garage and individual units are not on separately deeded lots. For these reasons, the 28' width requirement was not applied to the access drives. Although we want to point out this change to Council, it is not a significant concern. we expect that utility plans, Home Dwners Association instruments, and land- ' scape maintenance guarantees will be approved by the February 7 meeting. Attorney David Osborn, representing the developer, stated they had worked with the staff in resolving staff concerns. Councilman Suinn made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wil- kinson to approve the Parkview Estates, P.U.D., Final Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Subdivision Plat subject to the City approving the Utility Plans. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Russell, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Prospect Springs, P.U.D., Preliminary Plan Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: 'Ibis is a proposal for 22 multi -family units on 2.6 acres zoned R-P and located on Fast Prospect Street. The major concerns regarding this development deal with: 1. Traffic Circulation in the Larger Area: Access. -to lots in this area is only from East Prospect. There is potential, however, to extend Parker Street to ' intersect with Prospect. 94 0 February 7, 1978 ' 2. Interior Traffic Circulation: This site is to be served with a private cul-de-sac and perpendicular parking adjacent to building envelopes. This design seems to function well. The drive, however, should be widened to 28' and four parking spaces near Prospect be eliminated to avoid conflicts with cars turning off the arterial. 3. The Proposed Omnercial Space: This should be oriented away fnzn Prospect and should serve the residents of the P.U.D. Staff also had several other technical comments regarding utilities, lighting, etc., and these are fully outlined in the staff report. The applicant agrees to comply with all staff comments. Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to approve preliminary plan subject to staff caanents. Planning Director Les Kaplan stated an additional recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board was that restaurants be ex- cluded from the uses in this area. Councilmembers expressed concern regarding the use of private streets: lack of sidewalks, street maintenance and traffic enforcement. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman St. Croix to approve the Prospect Springs, P.U.D., Preliminary Plan subject to compliance with staff comments. Councilman Suinn made a motion, seconded by Councilman Russell to table this item for further discussion by the staff of some of the problems, such as private access/private road, side- walks and possible second access.

THE MOTION CARRIED RESOLUTION 78-16 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS APPROVING THE WITHDRAWAL OF MICHAEL D. DiTULLIO FROM THE CITY RETIREMENT PLAN AND SUBSTITUTING PARTICIPATION ON HIS BEHALF IN THE ICMA RETIREMENT CORPORATION'S DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN WHEREAS, heretofore on March 4, 1971, the City Council established a Retirement Plan for employees of the City; and ' WHEREAS, Michael D. DiTullio is included as a participant in that Retirement Plan; and 1. February 7, 1978 ' WHEREAS, the said Michael D. DiTullio was originally employed in the service of the City as Assistant City Manager and has served in that capacity, in the capacity of Interim City Manager and in the capacity of Department Head; and WHEREAS, the City Council has previously recognized that the position of Assistant City Manager is unique among City employees and normally involves employment of individuals with previous experience in other municipalities whose tenure of employment with the City of Fort Collins may not normally extend to time of retirement; and WHEREAS, the recognition of this fact caused the City Council to previously authorize that retirement benefits for Assistant City Managers be provided through participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan of the ICMA Retirement Corpora- tion instead of through the City Retirement Plan; and WHEREAS, in the opinion of the City Council retirement benefits for Michael D. DiTullio should be handled in this fashion in recognition of the fact that he was employed by the City initially as an Assistant City Manager and his educational qualifications and job experience make it likely that he will continue in the City Manager field. ' NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS: 1. That the City Retirement Plan adopted by resolution of the City Council on March 4, 1971, is amended to delete Michael D. DiTullio as a participating City employee in such plan. 2. Any amounts which would have been payable by the City into the City Retirement.Plan on behalf of Michael D. DiTullio if he were a participant in such plan shall be instead paid into the Deferred Compensation Plan established for him with the ICMA Retirement Corporation. 3. All amounts heretofore paid into the City's Retirement Plan on behalf of Michael D. DiTullio shall be withdrawn from the City Retirement Plan and paid into the Deferred Compensation Plan established for him with the ICMA Retirement Corporation. The amounts to be so withdrawn shall be only the amounts paid in and not any increases which have been earned on such amount. 4. This resolution shall be effective at such time as Michael D. DiTullio executes a waiver of all claims to ' benefits or rights under the City Retirement Plan. 97 February 7, 197.8• Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held this 7th day of February, A.D. 1978. EST: C y erk e. Sewer Easement on Spring Creek Accepted Following is the memorandum from Capital Improvements Coordinator Pat Polifka on this item: In order that the City Sewer Department can maintain it's construction schedule on the Spring Creek Relief Sewer Project, I am requesting the following Easement Agreement be presented to Council at the February 7, 1978 meeting. The proposed easement shown on the attached plat indicates the route of the new relief sewer line. The impact of the relief sewer line and ' associated 20 foot easement is not totally apparent at first glance. The sewer line itself does not sufficiently impact the Bristol property by it- self. However, coupled with the City's plans to re -channel Spring Creek for flood protection and the addition of the Spring Creek Trail System, the sewer easement complicates matters even more. ' The City plans to reduce the severity of the S-curve of Spring Creek across the Bristrol property which will drastically reduce the developable area around Bristol Court. In fact the remaining developable area will be reduced by more than half and require that Bristol Court be vacated and the subdivision re -plated. The Bristols are aware of the City's plans and remain to be cooperative. A copy of the proposed easement agreement is attached which indicates the following consideration for the sewer easement. 1. Credit for three duplex sewer taps and investment fees to be used within a 2-year period. (value $5,334.00) The consideration for the sewer easement is substantially less than the cost to install the sewer line in Stover Street and Stuart Street. To install the sewer line in Stover Street requires tearing up a bridge and working in a street that is highly conjested with utility, which is very costly and time consuming. February 7, 1978 City Attorney March informed the Council he did not recommend that credit be given for taps, but rather that ' if Council desired the easement that they make a cash payment of $5,334.00. This has been a firm policy of the Council for at least fifteen years. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn to accept the easement on Spring Creek, subject to the payment of the dollar amount ($5,334.00.) Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None (Councilman Russell out of the room.) THE MOTION CARRIED Report from City Council Members on Committees a. Resolution Adopted Setting Forth Certain Intentions of the City Council in Connection with the Downtown Improvement Authority Councilman Wilkinson introduced a resolution addressing the five mill levy, which could be imposed by the Coun- cil in connection with the Downtown area, which by this resolution, this Council will not levy. ' City Clerk Verna Lewis read the resolution at length. Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Council- man St. Croix to adopt the resolution. Yeas: Council - members Bloom, Russell, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED RESOLUTION 78-15 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS SETTING FORTH CERTAIN INTENTIONS OF THE CITY COUNCIL IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSAL TO FORM A DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY WHEREAS, the City Council has heretofore proposed the formation of a Downtown Development Authority for the City of Fort Collins and has scheduled an election on the question of forming such Authority for February 21, 1978; and WHEREAS, the reason for proposing the Downtown Develop- ment Authority is to enable tax increment financing to be ' used in connection with redevelopment of downtown properties; and February 7, 1978 WHEREAS, the Downtown Development Authority must be ' formed under the appropriate provisions of state law, which might include other purposes than those which the City Council propose be accomplished by such an Authority; and WHEREAS, the law providing for downtown authorities also sets forth an administrative organization for such authorities unless the necessary administration is provided by other means; and WHEREAS, the Council desires to set forth its intentions and expectations concerning certain aspects of the proposal to form a Downtown Development Authority. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS: Section 1. The City Council hereby declares that it does not intend to utilize the provisions contained in state law relating to Downtown Development Authorities authorizing a tax levy on behalf of such authorities. It is the intention of the City Council that the proposed Downtown Development Authority be used as the vehicle to provide tax increment financing, and that no taxes be levied by, for or on behalf of such Authority. ' Section 2. It is the intention of the City Council that the necessary administrative support for such Authority be provided by the existing City administration, thereby eliminating the need to employ a separate administration for the proposed Authority. Section 3. It is not the intention of the City Council in adopting this resolution to bind future City Councils of the City to any course of action, and the City Council recognizes that it could not purport to limit the authority of future Councils in this manner. The City Council does, however, desire that its intentions in proposing the formation of a Downtown Development Authority be made a matter of public record and, therefore, this resolution is adopted. Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held this 7th day of February, A.D. 1978. AT2ST: City Clerk 100 February 7, 1978 ' b.

Councilman Russell reported Platte River will meet on February 23, 1978. They are currently reviewing steps to prevent brownouts and blackouts in the area.. Amendment to Foothills Fashion Mall, P.U.D Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation on this item: This plan would add another 141,070 sgiwre'feet to the southeast end -of the Foothills Fashion Mall. Concerns which have not yet been addressed by the developer on the revised preliminary are: ' 1. A traffic signal should be installed at Monroe Drive and the South entrance to the mall, 50% being their cost. 2. Landscape islands need to be worked into the parking area to provide visual relief with vertical landscape and physical relief with seasonal shading. 3. Technical details regarding utility line relocation and landscape drainage. The applicants indicate these concerns will be addressed on the final plans. Also note that the City should install a pedestrian cross -walk on South College Avenue at Foothills Parkway. This will provide pedestrians a safe crossing on South College. Recomrendation: We recommend approval of preliminary plan as revised, conditional upon the final plans indicating additional landscape islands and a traffic signal at Monroe and the main mall entrance. Planner II Paul Deibel presented slides of the area. Mr. Gary Haxton, representing the petitioners, inquired into the staff recommendation on the cost of the signal. He requested that 4 of the cost be borne by Everitt Enterprises, , by HCI, Inc., and z by the City. Council also considered in depth the parking requirements and traffic circulation for the entire area. 101 February 7, 1978 Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilman ' Wilkinson to approve the Amendment to Foothills Fashion Mall, P.U.D., conditional upon the final plans indicating additional landscape islands, with the traffic signal cost to be borne 50% by the Foothills Mall, 25% by Foot- hills Square, and 25% by the City of Fort Collins. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Russell, St. Croix and Wilkinson. Nays: Councilman Suinn. THE MOTION CARRIED Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Annexing Property Known as the Allen Annexation Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: This is a proposal to annex 117.7 acres located -on South Shields street 600 feet north of West Horsetooth Poad. The requested zoning is R-L-P. There are available City utility services in this area, as well as ccnuercial services, employment centers, schools, and collector and arterial streets. All these services provide an urban orientation for the area. Planning notes that annexation of the area would balance our southern growth pattern which has recently taken a southeastern orientation. Planning and Zoning Board unanimously reccunends approval of this annexation ' with R-L-P zoning. Their remmrendation included a requ re ent that a 40-acre tract adjoining the annexation be included. This was intended to apply only if this tract was owned or controlled by the petitioner. The petitioner does not have any connection with this additional tract and, therefore, it has not been included in the annexation ordinance. Petitioner Bill Bartran spoke to their intent to provide for a park in the area. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn to adopt Ordinance No. 15, 1978 on first reading. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. (Councilman Russell out of room.) THE MOTION CARRIED Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Zoning Property Known as the Allen Annexation Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: 102 February 7, 1978 ' This is the zoning ordinance for the property known as the Allen Annexation. The requested zoning is R-LrP. Both the staff and Planning and Zoning Board agree to this zoning designation. The preceeding annexation item on this property further elaborates on the . zoning request. Councilman Suinn made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkinson to adopt Ordinance No. 16, 1978 on first reading. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. (Councilman Russell out of room.) Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Annexing Property Known as the Trend Homes First Annexation Following is the City Manager's.memorandum and recommendation on this item: This annexation would annex 73.85 acres on Horsetooth Road just east of South Taft Hill. The requested zoning is R-L. Also discussed in Planning Department's merm*is Trend Homes Second Annexation. This is 82.95 acres at the northeast corner of Horsetooth Road and South Taft Hill. The requested zoning is also R-L. Both annexations are owned by the same parties. The First Annexation is con- sidered only at this time in order for the first annexation to establish the necessary legal contiguity for the second annexation which will come before Council upon final approval of the First Annexation. As with the Allen Annexation (Item No.28), this area is well served by urban and utility services. Annexation would also balance our Southeastern growth pattern. We do, however, recomnend that the zoning of these parcels be R-L-P (as opposed to R-L) in order to encourage City Site Plan review. R-L uses and single- family subdivision development are allowed in the R-L-P zoning district. Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of this annexation with R-L-P zoning. Recommendation: We recommend approval of Trend Hones First Annexation.(with R-L-P zoning). Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn to adopt Ordinance No. 17, 1978 on first reading. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: ' None.

THE MOTION CARRIED 103 Ordinance Adop Known as 7 February 7, 1978 ted on First Reading Zoning Property rend Homes First Annexation Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: This is the ordinance zoning the property known as Trend Homes First Annexation. The petitioner has requested R-L zoning. Both the staff and Planning and Zoning Board recommend that the zoning be R-L-P in order to encourage City Site Plan review of the site. This zoning should be acceptable to the petitioner. The Planning memo on this item is included with the preceding annexation. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn to adopt Ordinance No. 18, 1978 on first reading, zoning this property R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. (Councilman Russell out of room.) THE MOTION CARRIED Ordinance Adopted as Amended on First Reading Zoning Property Known as the Cunningham Corner Second Annexation Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: Council should be familiar with the property since discussions on the 39-acre parcel and its potential use were initiated in August of 1977. Mr. Ellerby has been before Council at both formal and work session meetings to discuss his interest in developing a portion of the site into a recreation complex including a bowling alley and indoor ice rink. At the December 12, 1977, Planning and Zoning meeting the following zoning designations were approved: (See attached map.) Conditional Highway Business 12.6 acres R-L-p 20.0 acres R-M-p 6.2 acres Since the Planning and Zoning meeting the petitioner has requested an amendment to his zoning request as follows: Conditional Highway Business 12.6 acres R-P 26.2 acres There are two issues to be considered in connection with this item. 1 First is the issue of conditional H-B zoning. It is proposed to accomplish this by means of the contract which is attached. This contract is merely a draft I and Council's input will be appreciated. We would expect to hake the contract in final executed form before the time for second reading of this ordinance. 104 February 7, 1978 Both Planning and Zoning Board and the staff feel that satisfactory conditions which would limit allowable uses and adequately protect adjoining areas can be imposed in this manner. The second consideration is the request to change from R-L-P and R-M Zones to the R-P zone. Staff feels that this change is advantageous since it allows nore flexibility in site planning and a more gradual transition of residential densities, and still provides similar overall maximum density for the area. The ordinance in the agenda reflects the original request. If the amended request is approved, the ordinance will have to be changed to acm, lish this. #232-77 Ellerby-Cunningham Corner Rezoning December 12, 1977 P&Z Board Recommendation 'RLP 90 ac. N8 i2.6 Ac. �7 RMP 6.2 nx_. This 39 acre parcel is presently zoned T-Transition. The Planning and Zoning Board supports the H-B zone with the conditions presented by the petitioner. The Board approves the residential zoning as shown, in that it meets the following planning objectives: 105 -opportunity for mixture of densities -higher densities abutting commercial -lower and moderate densities adjoining Brown Farm and area east February 7, 1978 Revised Petitioner Request R? .11 a►L. 1 This revised plan can also satisfy the' planning objectives for the site and has the following additional advantages: -avoids additional R-L-P added to 270 acres proposed immediately west -leaves flexibility in site -planning by removing street as zoning district line -allows for more gradual transition of residential densities than does the above zoning plan -similar overall maximum density to above zoning plan Planning Director Les Kaplan stated that since this petition was received by the Planning and Zoning Board, the petitioner has amended his request and is now asking for R-P for the en- tire residential area and is eliminating the street as a zoning district line. Mr. Charles Mayhugh, representing the owner, spoke in favor of having Council consider the R-P portion separate from the H-B portion. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman St. Croix to amend Ordinance No. 19, 1978 by striking in the fourth line of the ordinance the words '.'R-M-P, Medium Density Planned Residential District" and in the fifth line the words "R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential District" and substitute the words "R-P, Planned Residential District"; and on page 2 at the top of the ordinance by substituting the words "R-P, Planned Residential District for the words "R-M-P, Medium Density Planned Residential District" and by substituting on page 3 the word "Also" for the words"R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential District."

Ordinance Adopted as Amended on First Reading Rezoning Property Known as the Harmony First Annexation Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: Council considered this item at its January 10, 1978, meeting. The original request was to rezone 234 acres from T-Transition to a mixture of residential, cormercial and industrial zoning districts. One of the major issues discussed was the petitioners' request for 18 acres of B-P, Planned Business Zoning, along Harmony Road. This issue was discussed in light of the 1041 Steering ODmmittee's work on land uses south of Harmony Road. Since the January 10, 1978, Council meeting City staff has met with the peti- tioners to review their zoning requests. As a result of these discussions, the petitioners amended their original petition to change the requested B-P Zone to the T-Transition zone. This was done on the petitioners' behalf to seek a solution which would allow for zoning of the majority of property with the balance to take place after the 1041 Study is completed. Policy considerations for Council revolve around the timing of zoning and development. Zoning the entire 234 acres as requested and leaving 18 acres in T-Transition, will allow the area to develop. Once the character of development is established, both north and south of Harmony Road, Council will be able to better evaluate the need for Planned Business development in the area. In addition, the 1041 Conmittee would have additional time in which to make reconm-endations regarding development in this area. Of course, allowing develop- ment to occur may preclude use of the 18 acres for anything but Planned Business. However, at that future time, such development may be more appropriate. Planning Director Les Kaplan advised Council the petitioners had amended their request to keep 18 acres along Harmony Road in T-Transition; he did caution that the master plan indicates this area as commercial area. Petitioner Bill Tiley described the proposal in detail, including the proposed ingress and egress, the traffic lights and berming. ' Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Russell to amend Ordinance No. 9, 1978 by striking the words "B-P, Planned Business District" in line 6, and on page 2 striking the second paragraph, beginning "B-P, Planned Business 107 February 7, 1978 District" and ending "18.295 acres, more or less." Yeas: t Councilmembers Bloom, Russell, St. Croix, Suinn and Wil- kinson. Nays: None.

THE MOTION CARRIED Collindale South Master Plan Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: This is the conceptual master plan for Harmony First Annexation. Main concerns regarding the master plan for Collindale South involved curb cuts along Harmony Fbad, the need for a preliminary utility plan, and cul-de- sac configuration. These concerns were adequately addressed by the petitioners. Conceptually, staff has no problem with the master plan. Council should refer to Planning Staff reports included under the preceding I item. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Russell to approve the conceptual Collindale South Master Plan. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Russell, St. Croix, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED Amendment of K-Mart Plaza, P.U.D. Not Considered Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation on this item: This proposal was denied by Council January 3, 1978. The applicants were not aware the proposal Mould be considered at that meeting and were not present. For this reason, they have asked that Council reconsider the pro- posal. Council should decide whether or not to reconsider the issue. It is a request for an additional curb cut on South College Avenue at K-Mart Plaza between I World Savings & loan and the McDonald's Restaurant. Administration .recommnded denial of the curb cut in that it is unnecessary and undesirable from a traffic standpoint. February 7, 1978 Recomendation: Council should decide whether or not to reconsider the proposed amendment to K-Mart Plaza, P.U.D. A representative of the property owners requested Council reconsider its previous action and grant the additional curb cut. Council members expressed concern for the increased traffic on College Avenue and concurred in not reconsidering this item; therefore they took no action. ournment Mayor Bloom declared the meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m. ATTEST: 2c,,— C er I 109
