Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Relating
to the Gross Weight of Vehicles
The following is the City Manager's memorandum to the City
Council on this item:
"The City Council has had several requests concerning the
through truck traffic on many city streets. Not only is

streets not designed for heavy truck traffic.
Ordinance No. 39, 1976 provides for a limitation of the gross
weight of any vehicle or combination of vehicles having three
or more axles with more than 46,000 pounds. The limitation of
this ordinance does not apply to federal or state highways or I
to vehicles making deliveries of cargo within the city limits
of Fort Collins."
Traffic Engineer Joe Rice spoke to the Council concerning
the development of a Fort Collins truck route that would
take the heavy truck traffic off the city streets.

Resolution Adopted Authorizing the City Manager to
Request the NCWCD to iMake a Study of the Feasibility
of Enlarging the Existing Outlet in Soldier Canyon
Dam of Horsetooth Reservoir
The following is the City Manager's memorandum to the Council
on this subject:
"At the present time the City of Fort Collins receives its
Horsetooth water through a tunnel at Soldier Canyon. We have
been discussing for some time the possibility of expanding our
treatment facilities at this location or working towards an 2.
additional outlet further.south.through,a.new tunnel and additional
treatment facilities.
The City of Fort Collins was partially instrumental in creating
the Horsetooth Water Service Commission. The Bureau of Reclama-
tion and M & I Engineering were retained to make some preliminary
studies. Roger Krempel, our Water $ Sewer Utilities Director,
has been our representative on this Commission. Enclosed is
a memorandum from Mr. Krempel on this subject. As indicated, the
cost for the tunnel, treatment and additional transmission
facilities. is extremely expensive. The delivery price of water
at SS¢ per thousand gallons is also high.
It is now necessary for the Commission to make some basic decisions
concerning proceeding with this project. Their next meeting
will be on Monday, June 14th. Prior to that time we would like
to meet with the Water Board and City Council to discuss our
' recommendations and to firm up a decision on this project.
We will meet with the Water Board on Friday afternoon, May 28,
1976. If they have additional recommendations or thoughts on
this matter, these will be presented at the City Council meeting.
311
Recommendation: Providing the Water Board does not provide
any conflicting or additional comments or recommendations, the '
Administration recommends that the City Council take the follow-
ing course of action.
1. Advise the Horsetooth l'iater Service Commission that the City
would not participate in a new outlet from the Horsetooth
Reservoir at Spring Canyon or a regional water treatment
plant, but would like to continue to participate with the
Commission in the study of regional water resource concerns.
2. Recommend to the City Council that the City proceed to
expedite a project to increase the outlet capacity at
Soldier Canyon and by resolution, authorize the City Manager
to request.such a project from the Northern Colorado
Conservancy District. An expenditure up to $6,000 will be
required for the Bureau of Reclamation to review the feasi-
bility of such a project and prepare necessary documenta-
tion for inclusion in the 1978 budget.
3. Work together with all entities interested in participating
in a project to increase the capacity of the Soldier Canyon
Outlet."
Roger Krempel, Water and Sewer Utilities Director, reviewed the
activities of the Horsetooth Water Service Commission to date. '

rizing the City Manager to request the NCWCD to make a study
of the feasibility of enlarging the existing outlet in Soldier
Canyon Dam at Horsetooth Reservoir. Yeas: Councilmembers

on Claude Parker Property (Appeal No. 628)
City Attorney Art March, Jr., -reviewed the appeal made by
Mr. Claude Parker to the.Zoning Board of Appeals and the
action finally taken.by`the Board.
The following is the City Manager's memorandum to the City
Council on this matter.
"Mr. Vic DeCicco, 1924 West Lake, appeared before the May
18, 1976, City Council meeting requesting the Council to
' consider reviewing the decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals
in connection with Appeal No. 628. At its May 11, 1976--
meeting the Zoning Board of Appeals approved the reduced
side -yard requirement from seven feet to four feet and reduced
the rear -yard requirement from fifteen feet to twelve feet
to allow for a full-size garage. The property is located
321
at 1928 West Lake. This matter was previously tabled at
the March 9 and April 13 meetings of the Zoning Board of Appeals. '
The City Council requested that a review hearing be held on
this matter at the June 1, 1976 meeting.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City
Council lave a hearing on this matter in accordance with the
procedures established by the City Attorney. At the hearing
the City Council should decide whether or not to uphold
the decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals."
The following is an excerpt from the minutes of the Zoning
Board of appeals relating to Appeal No. 628, from the meeting
of May lli 1976:
"Boardmember Lowell made a motion, seconded by Boardmember
Wonch to grant the side yard variance as requested and allow
a variance in the rear yard of up to 6' of the utility easement.
The Chairman put the motion which was unanimously adopted."
Mr. Vic DeCicco, 1924 West Lake Street, spoke in opposition
to this decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals, stating that
he was opposed to the proposed garage being placed closer
to his adjoining property line.
Mr. Robert Kainer, 1917 West Lake Street, presented the
'
following petition to Council in opposition to the granting
of this variance:
We, the. undersigned property owners in the 1900
block of Palest Lake. Street, Fort Collins, wish the.
City Council to know of our objections to the
proposed garage to be built in the rear of 1928 W. Lake
St. by rdr. Claude Parker.
We object; to the excessive noise he makes with
his motorcycles which he proposes to house in said
garage. We also do not want to encourage random
building in this area that could cause a decrease '
in property values.

second letter is the reply from Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brack,
the applicants for the variance.
May 19, 1976 .
City Council
City of Fort Collins
300 La Porte Avenue
Fort Collins, Colorado 80521
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council;
We are writing to protest, in most strenuous terms, the decision
of the Zoning Board of Appeals pertaining to the Variance requested
by Henry and Dorothy Brack that was granted on April 13, 1976, concerning
the use of 121 West Lake Street as a parking lot. The following items I
relate to our disagreement with this action and indicate our reasons
for presenting these arguments.
324
1. We hereby want to go on record as objecting to the approval of
121 West Lake Street for the purpose of parking. We do not object
to the use of 1415 South College Avenue as outlined in paragraph 8
of the Brack's letter dated March 9, 1976, however, we do object to the
use of said property as a beauty salon, which is a transaction now in
the process of being negotiated. Further, we feel.that any use of 1415
South College Avenue should be based on the physical ability of that
property to accomodate a particular business or other enterprise and
not tied,to the'use of,a,completely''unrelated.prbperty (121 West Lake)
to make that property saleable and usable.
2. We feel that this variance does not support the PUD Zoning Concept
that has been designated for this area, because of the separation of
activity associated with such a parking lot situated within and surrounded
by.residences. The traffic that would be generated on Lake Street by
automobiles using this lot would aggravate an already intolerable amount
of congestion on Lake Street, caused by traffic to and from the
Colorado State University Campus.
3. We -would like to point out to the .Council that 121 West Lake Street
is too far away from 1415 South College"Avenue to be useful and
convenient for .employees, customers and visitors as a parking area. Any
convenient route between the two properties would involve unlawful
trespass of the interconnecting property. s
' 4. We want to go on record as stating that we feel the Planned
Business Zone is proper for this area, and commercial development
should fall within the guidelines of such zoning. It will provide
for proper and orderly development of these properties and not
the helter-skelter commercializing that this variance will allow.
5. We would like to point out to the.Council'that'the Bracks do not
plan to remain in the area if they can sell their property for a
good price. We are permanent residents and property owners in the
neighborhood and do not plan to sell within the near future. The
Bracks have requested this variance for the sole purpose of making
their property easier to sell and at a higher price, and all at the
expense of the surrounding neighborhood. These vested financial
interests do not make an argument for proper planning or represent
the best interests of the community at large. We feel that the
Council should put the interests of the City above the -interests of
profit-oriented.individuals.
6. Again, we in no way intend this protest to restrict the ability
of Henry and Dorothy Brack to sell 1415 South College Avenue as per
the terms of the Conditional Variance that was granted them on April
13, 1976. However, we would not support any uses for that property
other than those outlined in paragraph 8 of the Bracks March 9, 1976
letter. We are, as previously mentioned, vigorously protesting the
' parking lot concept for la West Lake. We would also object,-.-_
however, to any usage that is "more intense" than that
which currently exists at 1415 S. College Avenue.

City Council
City of Fort Collins, Colorado
300 La Porte Avenue
Fort Collins, Colo. 80521
Ladies and Gentlemen: In re: Granted VARIANCE
On APPEAL #632;
1415 S. College Ave.
and APPEAL #633
121 W. Lake
This letter is in response to a protest lodged with the City of
Fort Collins, Colorado above subject.
The petitioners for the granted variance cannot understand the
protest for the following reasons:
326
1. The petitioners initial request at City public hearing was
made in March 1976. There were no protests at said meeting, per-
haps because the entire matter was tabled due to vagueness of the
variance --request. It is my recollection that at above meeting,
the,City Attorney suggested that -we,present. at the next regularly
scheduled meeting a specific request for each of the sites 1415 S.
College Avenue and 121 W. Lake.
2.On-April 13, 1976 the above Appeals were again heard by the
Zoning Board of Appeals. Both' of"the,,herein variances were granted.
I stress that at this meeting none of signers -,of letter of protest
attached either made; -a verbal protest no did.they write a protest
.-.letter. All-of„the .adjacent owners including the protestors were
notified in ample time to either appear in person or write their
objections. The only person who spoke as a citizen at the April 13,
1976 meeting was Harold Miller, owner of Poudre Valley Construction.
' Poudre Valley Construction is the developer of the 1300 Block S.
College Avenue which is adjacent to the property subject of this
letter. Mr Miller's comments to Zoning Board of Appeals were all
in favor of variances as requested #632•and #633.
I now direct this letter to the specific objections as cited by
John Clarke, Joe Vausant and others, such letter dated May 19, 1976.
1. The variances as granted are not tied one to the other. 1415
S. College is for use as a "Hair Styling Salon."
The total physical ability of the property is quite ample to
support the proposed business without causing any hardship real
or imagined against the area or adjacent owners.
2. The variance 1133 is not tied to 1632., however under the pre-
sent code said parking variance is quite legal and represents a
sincere effort on the part of the (racks to provide off-street
parking in an area where owners are not providing ample parking
for the parking problems they are partially creating.
327
3. I respectfully point out that the parking variance as granted '
is well within the guidelines of the City Code and any assumption
that unlawful trespass from 121 W. Lake to any other area in the
vicinity is speculation. The only remote possibility of trespass
is on a property at 117 W. Lake. The owners of 117 W. Lake were
contacted by the protestors and said owners declined to sign the
protest. 117 W. Lake is adjacent to the granted variance #633
11121 W. Lake."
4. We have owned and lived at 141S S. College Avenue for 22 years.
The changes in the environment at 1415 S. College have indeed been
significant. The BP Zoning in the 1400 Block of S. College has
been in effect since October 1965. The present BP Zoning in the
1400 Block S. College Avenue has been regressive in nature probably
because of the large number of land owners in a very small area. As
a matter of fact, it is, impossible to meet BP Zoning between W. Lake
and W. Prospect with College Avenue on the east and the alley on the ,
west. This is not because the land owners are unwilling to .sell,
there is just not adequate land even though the lots are 180 feet
deep.
S. The protest letter you have been presented with is in gross
error regarding the future plans of the Bracks. We are presently
and have been for some time negotiating for other property in the
immediate area with intent of constructing a building. Two of the
signers in your protest letter were informed of our plans prior to
their complaint to you. We regret this mis-information to you has
made this particular specific reply necessary.
6. The protest letter you have in your hands is signed by 6 indi-
viduals, 3 of which are residents and 3 of which are property
owners. To my knowledge 3 of the owners have never lived in the
block. '
328
As a matter of record there are 17 separate dwelling units in the
1400 block S. College Ave. Of the 17 units in the entire block, only:--
3 resident owners are protesting and 3 non-resident owners are protesting.
This type of ownership, coupled with.the present existing Zoning has over
the past 11 years manifested itself in general obsolesence in the area.
Assuming the variances are granted on a specific basis, a most
beneficial and,.meaningful.occurence will have taken place.
1. A tax base change will in all probability occur.
2. The individual properties will no doubt receive a. face-lifting
in paint, general landscaping and -other general repair. `
It is our sincere belief that if in its present deliberation, the
City Council does in fact concurr with its Zoning Board of Appeals that
a general up -grading in the 1400 Block South College will occur.
Re ctfully s ted
Henry B. $ Dorothy M. Brack
HB/lr
Mr. Don Mourning, Attorney::representing Mr. Brack, spoke
in support of the request.
Mr. John Clarke spoke in rebuttal to Mr. Brack's letter
stating that the letter was in error in at least one place;
in paragraph 1, Mr. Clarke did submit a letter of protest
and the area neighbors were present at the meeting. In
paragraph 2, at the April meeting Mr. Clarke felt his protest
would be brought forward from the March meeting to the April
meeting since it was a'tabled meeting.
329
Mr. Henry Brack next retracted his statement that there had
been no protests filed in regard to these appeals. He t
also clarified the proposed types of uses and the need for
a zoning change and the granting of the requested variances.
Director of Planning Les Kaplan spoke to the zoning of the
area and the requirements currently in force covering
P. U. D.'s.
Councilwoman Reeves made a motion seconded by Councilwoman
Gray that the variance for the uses as stated at 1415 South•
College be upheld and that the variance for 121 West Lake
be denied. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray,
Reeves, Russell, and Suinn. Nays: Councilman Wilkinson.
Vance First Annexation Referred Back to
City Attorney for Annexation Ordinance
Preparation; Zoning Question Referred to
Staff for Further Studv
Les Kaplan, Director of Planning, spoke to the Vance Annexa-
tion and the staff recommendation for the general zoning plan.
(Complete report in Central Files)
Bill Wyatt, attorney representing the petitioners, addressed
the Council regarding the desires of the petitioners. The
first request was for zoning to allow the establishment of
a veterinarian hospital near the northwest corner of the
annexation.
Dr. Tom Johnston, veterinarian, spoke to the Council regarding
the vet hospital and the proposed plans. He petitioned the
area and stated that the problem he encountered was that the
objection was to the C-commercial zoning needed for this
hospital.
Garth Rogers, attorney representing the Parkwood Homeowners'
Association, voiced their opposition to commercial and high
density areas. Petitions were presented in opposition to the
proposed development.
Mr. Wyatt next spoke to the kind of development his client
would like to pursue at this particular location. (A
detailed description is in the Planning and Zoning Board
minutes from the May 10, 1976 meeting.)
Kenneth Wolfe, attorney representing the Lake Sherwood
Homeowners' Association, presented petitions opposing the
high rise type structures and th& commercial zoning for
the v.et hospital. ,
Mr. Pete Peterson, 1301 Rollingwood Lane, President of
the Parkwood Homeowners' Association, stated that the main
330
1
I
objection of the Parkwood residents to the proposed develop-
ment is the density. Another objection is that there is no
apparent need for additional commercial zoning since there
is a planned business zoning- .section on the west side of
Lemay, just across the street from the proposed development.
He also stated that there were several residents who wished
to retract their names from Dr. Johnston's petition in order
to have -their names on the opposing petition.
Ms. Elaine Hartman, 1713 Yucca Court, Vice -President of the
Lake Sherwood Homeowners' Association, spoke in opposition
to the development, specifically stating that the only access
to the Lake Sherwood Subdivision is Drake Road and that high
density development will add to the automobile congestion
atDrakeand Lemay. -
Councilman Bloom proposed to Council that they proceed with
the annexation and turn the zoning --question back to the
Planning and Zoning Board and .eliminate the commercial zoning
completely from any further coning plans for this area. The
following charge was issued to the Planning and Zoning Board:
"The prescribing of a composite of complementary zones which .
>are compatible with the surrounding area and which fulfill
the general land use needs within the City."
Councilman Bloom made a motion seconded by Councilman Bowling
to refer the matter of annexation to the City Attorney
to prepare the necessary ordinance to.annex.the area as
an area that has .been totally surrounded for a period of
three years and.refer the question of zoning to Planning
and.Zoning. The motion was later withdrawn.
Councilman Bloom made a motion seconded by Councilwoman Reeves
to authorize the City Attorney to draw up the annexation
ordinance for consideration. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom,
Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays:
None.
Councilman Bowling made a motion seconded by Councilman Suinn
to refer the zoning question back to staff to meet with all
interested parties and report back. Yeas: Councilmembers
Bloom, Bowling,..Gray, Reeves,,Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson.
Nays: :None: (The consensus of the Council was that a
report would be made to the Council within 90 days.)
Cottonwood P.U.D. Preliminary Plan
Referred Back to the Administration
Director of Planning Les Kaplan spoke to the proposed
plan.
The Cottonwood P.U.D. is areplat of the former College Greens
331
Subdivision, and is located on the northeast corner of Stover
Street and East Drake Road. There would be a total of 312
units on the 52.2-acre site with single-family lots on the
north two-thirds of the property and apartment buildings and
commercial uses on the south one-third.
Maurice Deines, developer, spoke to the Council as to how
he proposes to build this development and the arrangement
of buildings. The commercial area will not be constructed
until the rest of the development is complete. The proposed
day care center will be built in the early stages of the
development.
Mr. Gene Mitchell, attorney representing HCI, another
developer of properties at Lemay and Drake, spoke in opposi-
tion to the proposed plan for Cottonwood P.U.D., especially
the commercial zoning.
Mr. Ron Fulkrod, Grounds Manager for Woodward Governor
Company, addressed the Council stating their opposition to
the two story buildings to be built in Phase I of the plan.
He also spoke to the location of an entrance into the
development on the east side being quite close to the west
driveway of Woodward Governor.
General consensus of Council was that this is a good plan I
but there is some hesitancy about the placement of the
commercial zoning.
Councilman Bowling made a motion seconded by Councilman
Bloom to approve the preliminary plat without the commercial
zoning but to include the day care center: Yeas:
Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, and Russell. Nays: Council -
members Gray, Reeves, Suinn and Wilkinson. Motion defeated.
Councilman Suinn made a motion seconded by Councilman
Bowling to refer the P.U.D. proposal back to staff for further
negotiations given the input of the Council and the audience
in this matter. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray,
Reeves, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: Councilmember Russell.
