Ordinance Adopted as Amended on Second
Reading Amending the Sign Code
Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendation
on this item:
"At the last Council meeting Ordinance No. 17, 1977, was presented
to the City Council. This ordinance contained several minor
changes to the zoning ordinance which the staff recommended based
on experience working with the Ordinance. It also deleted the
requirement for indirect illumination of signs in the R-H and
M-M districts. The Council desired not to allow internal illumin-
ation, and the City Attorney suggested an amendment which he
thought would restore the indirect illumination requirement.,
Further review of the ordinance after the Council meeting indicated
that the suggested change was not correct. In order to accomplish
the desired result Section 6 should be restored to its original
wording and Section 3 of the amendment should be deleted.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the following
action be to en with relation to this Ordinance:
1) Amend the Ordinance as presented on second reading by deleting
Section 3 of the Ordinance and by changing Section 6 of the
Ordinance to read as follows:
"Section 6. That Section 118-97G of the Code of the City
of Fort Collins be, and the samehereby is, amended to read
as follows:
312
V,
a
"G. Every electric sign shall have affixed thereon an
approved Underwriters Laboratory label and all
wiring connected to such sign shall comply with all
provisionsof the Code of the City of Fort Collins
relating to electrical installations."
2) Adopt the Ordinance on second reading as amended."
Zoning Officer, Maria LeValley, requested clarification of the
internal illumination prohibition in the R-H zone. City Manager
Brunton stated the administration will bring back a report on
the requests for internal illumination at a.later date.
Councilman Suinn made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom to
amend the Ordinance as recommended by the Administration and by
renumbering the sections. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling,
Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Councilwoman Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom

Ordinance Adopted on Second Reading Amending
the Zoning Ordinance in Connection with Landscaping
Requirements in the R-H, High Density Residential
B-L Limited Business and H-B Highway Business District
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Ordinance No. 18, 1977, was adopted on first reading at the
February 15, 1977, meeting of the City Council. The Ordinance
was amended in Section 4-F, Landscape Requirements,, (1), to change
subparts 1 through 9 inclusive to read 1 through 11 inclusive.
This Ordinance provides for site and landscape plan review for
commercial uses in B-L, H-B, and R-H zones. It also provides
that landscape requirements be tied to the occupancy permit
rather than to the building permit. This gives more flexibility
317
and less cost to -the developer. If the landscape work is not
completed by the time thebuilding is ready for occupancy, a
cash deposit or landscape bond would be required before receiving
the final certificate of occupancy. The work naturally would
have to be done within a reasonable length of time."

to adopt Ordinance No. 18, 1977 on second reading. Yeas: Council -

Ordinance Adopted on Second Reading
Zoning the Suitts First Annexation
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This matter and a companion ordinance relating to the zoning of
the Suitts Second Annexation have been on the Council agenda for
several weeks and have been tabled because of negotiations con-
cerning the possible purchase of additional open space in the -
Annexation and the need for dedication of the area adjoining the
River for the trails program along the Poudre River. The First
Annexation is proposed to be zoned in the I-P zone and this is
acceptable'to the owner and was recommended by the Planning and
Zoning Board and City Planning staff. The owner has requested
that the Second Annexation be in the I-G zone. As Council knows,
the staff is now working on amendments to the I-G zone and it is _
our feeling that the I-G zone would be acceptable for the Second
Annexation from the City's standpoint after the zone is changed
to require performance standards. In view of this, the Admini-
stration recommends that the Second Annexation be placed in the
T, Transition, zone in the expectation that the property will
be rezoned to the I-G zone after the contemplated changes for
the I-G zone are enacted. The owner will dedicate the land for
the trails system at this time. We have not yet been able to
negotiate a set agreement for purchasing additional open space
but do not feel that this should hold up the zoning action.
Recommendation: :The Administration recommends that Ordinance
No. 1, 1977,-Te tabled to the March 15, 1977 date with the
understanding that action on the ordinance zoning the First
Annexation to the I-P zone will be taken.at that time."
City Attorney March stated that since this memorandum and recom-
mendation had been made, the Administration has had further
discussion with the petitioner. Attorney Hasler;, representing
Mr. Suitts, has submitted a letter agreeing to*dedicating the

The corollary item in Ordinance No. 1, 1977 is for zoning the
annexation; the recommendation will st'ay'the same, and the
administration does recommend that they be directed to bring
back an ordinance placing the property in the "T" Transition
Zone and that is with the understanding that the staff recommen-
dation will be that once the ',performance standards are built
into the I-G zone, that this property be placed in that zone.
In connection with this, City Attorney March stated the admini-
stration has negotiated with Mr. Suitts for the purchase of a
portion of the property as open space. Mr. Suitts has extended
an option for three months, for purchase of the property, at a
price of $1,800.00.

Agreement of Sale and Purchase of
Property on Mathews Street
Following is th e•City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The City has been negotiating to obtain this piece of property
owned by Lorraine A. Quinn located on Lot 8, Block 133, in Fort
Collins at the southwest corner of Mathews and Olive.
The City previously obtained property formerly owned by
Mike Donaldson.in this area together with receiving an agreement
with the DMA Plaza for use of their parking lot east of the
alley between Mathews and Remington.
City Council unofficially approved the $27,000 purchase price
on a time basis for the Quinn property. The City Attorney
previously gave his opinion that the method of payment (issuance
of bonds secured by sales tax revenue) is allowed under the
City Charter. It is similar in principle to many of our other
land transactions where we purchase property on a time basis.
This parking lot will partially meet the requirements for the
newly constructed library in the block to the northeast of this
property."
City Attorney March stated this concept had been presented before;
this is now in the form of a signed contract, the bond that is:
to be issued to pay for this property will be payable only out,
of sales tax revenue. If this agreement is approved, an ordinance
authorizing the issuance of the bond will be presented.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves
to approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager and
City Clerk to sign the agreement on behalf of the City. Yeas:
Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Suinn and Wilkinson.

Agreement with Neighbor to Neighbor,.Inc., Approved
As Amended
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"At the February 15, 1977, meeting the City Council reviewed the
proposal to dispose of two surplus houses now located on North
Meldrum. These houses need to be moved or demolished in connec-
tion with the new City Hall addition.
The Council authorized Neighbor to Neighbor, Inc., to use the
house at 222 North Meldrum Street. The house will be moved to
732 Alta Vista Street on a lot already owned by Neighbor to
Nei hbor. The house will be leased to them for an annual rental
of , 1.
Neighbor to Neighbor will help the City in its Community Develop-
ment Rehabilitation Program in several ways. They will provide
part of the house to be used as temporary quarters for relocated
families whose housing is being rehabilitated. They will also
provide recreation programs in conjunction with the mini or vest-
pocket park now planned to be built adjacent to this house.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved the
partial cost of moving and improving this building as part of the
Rehabilitation Program. This only relates to that part of the
building used for temporary housing. No money is available for
the purchase of this house. Therefore, the Administration has
recommended and the Council approved transferring $2,500 from
Revenue Sharing surplus funds to the Seven -Year Capital Program
Fund, City Hall Account.
The City would move the house through the Community Development _
Housing Rehabilitation Program. Neighbor to Neighbor will
reimbursethe City for 50% of the cost of moving. Neighbor to
Neighbor will be responsible for all improvements to the property
necessary to comply with the building requirements for use as
a recreation and admininstrative center. This shall include but
not be limited to the following:
1. Additional bathroom facility.
2. Reinforcement of floor joist system.
3. Ingress and egress for handicapped persons.
4. Other repairs as shown in attachment "A" for the recreation
room and office.
Through the Community Development Housing Rehabilitation grant the
City -will pay the remaining one-half of the moving costs and
additional remodeling costs in connection with the facilities
to be used as housing for relocated persons."
329
City Attorney March stated there is a blank in paragraph 7 on
the last page, and he had been concerned.that Neighbor to Neighbor,
Inc. might not be in existence forever, therefore, he felt there
should be some vehicle to assure the administration that the City has
control over it. This agreement provides that if Neighbor to
Neighbor., Inc. discontinues its programs the City would have the
right to buy the property back. There is no dollar amount put
in and this dollar amount will not be determined until their costs
are known.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves
to approve the agreement with Neighbor to Neighbor, Inc., with
the dollar amount to be inserted at a later date when the costs
are known.
Councilman Suinn made a motion to amend the agreement by adding
on page 4, in item 6, at the end of the first sentence, the
following words: "and to provide such furnishings and equipment
as is necessary for such a center"; and at the end of paragraph 6,
the following sentence be added: "Neighbor agrees to provide
an annual accounting to the City of the services provided."
Councilwoman Gray stated she would accept those amendments as
part of her motion with the permission of the seconder to the
motion; Councilwoman Reeves agreed.
The motion before the Council then is: To amend the agreement
by adding on page 4 in item 6, at the end of the first sentence,
the following words: "and to provide such furnishings and equip-
ment as is necessary for such a center", and at the end of para-
graph 6, the following sentence be added: "Neighbor agrees to
provide an annual accounting to the City of the services provided
with the dollar amount to be inserted at a later date when the
costs are known.

Alta Vista Flood Plain Variance Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item.and the
memorandum from the City Engineer:
330
11
"We are having a problem in connection with the relocation of the
house at 220 North Meldrum to 128 Second Street. The new location
is in the flood fringe under the Flood Hazard Ordinance. Compli-
ance with ordinance requirements would ,require that the house
be elevated 4-2 feet above the existing sidewalk. This can be
accomplished. The ordinance would also require filling the site
to a height of 4-k feet above the present sidewalk with the fill
to extend 15 feet out from each side of the building. The size
of the site does not allow this.
In order to accomplish the relocation, a variance has been requested
which would reduce the amount of fill from 4-k feet to 3 feet
and which would reduce the distance the fill must extend from
the building from the requirement of 15 feet to 4 feet on the
north side and 10 feet on the south side. Such a variance is
permitted under 52-5 and 52-6 of the Code. The attached memo
from Don Parsons represents the recommendation of the Engineering
Services Department which is for approval of the variance."
Following is the memorandum (from.the' C;ity:.Engineer
"Jim Woods of the Human Resources Department of the City of Fort
Collins has requested a variance to the Flood Plain Ordinance to
allow the installation of a home at 128 Second Street in Bucking-
ham. He would like to move one of the older houses which the
City owns on Meldrum Street to the Second Street site. Most of
Buckingham is in the flood fringe area of the flood plain. On
this particular site the floor elevation must be four and a half
feet above the existing sidewalk, and the adjacent ground within
fifteen feet of the building must be filled to that elevation.
The lot is only 50 feet wide and the proposed building 24 feet -
wide. The side yards as proposed would be 10 feet on the north
side and 16 feet on the south side. Other buildings in the
neighborhood are at varying levels from right on -the ground to "
as much as four feet above the existing ground.
Our recommendation for this site is to elevate the floor four and
a half feet above the existing sidewalk in accordance with the
Flood Plain Ordinance, but to vary the requirements for fill
around the building because of the lack of room between the
building and the side lot lines. We recommend filling three feet
rather than the required fifteen feet from the building in the
front.and rear yards, but must be reduced to four feet on the
north'side yard and ten feet on the south side yard in order to
provide room to slope down to the existing ground at the lot
lines. This proposal will provide room for a driveway on the
south side of the building."
Councilman Suinn made a motion; seconded by Councilman Bowling
to approve the variance at 128 Second Street. Yeas: Council -
members Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell, 'Suinn-1and Wilkinson.
Nays: None.

Sale of Property at 220 North Meldrum Street,Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"On several occasions we talked with City Council about the
many problems in regard to our Housing Rehabilitation Program.
One of the major problems with our grant and/or loan programs
is to adequately handle the home that is beyond reasonable
repair. Recently we asked the Council if we could have a
"demonstration grant" to provide for demolishing and relocating
one of our existing surplus houses. Initially we planned to
purchase and donate this house through Revenue Sharing.
However, we all felt uneasy about this arrangement.
Jim Woods recently received a loan for $4,000 from the First
National Bank at 8-�,-%. This money would be used to pay the
City the $2,500 cost of the building and the remaining money
will be used to pay off and consolidate the other outstanding
debts.
The Agreement provides for the City to spend through the Community
Development Program up to $10,000 to move and rehabilitate the
building. Any money above $10,000 needed to complete the project
would be loaned at 3% interest through our conventional loan
program which has been established. We have received approval
from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the
State Department of.Housing in regard to this project."

Manager and City Clerk to sign the agreement on behalf of the

Resolution Adopted Applying for Comprehensive
Planning Assistance (701) Funds
Following is -`the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"We recently were informed that there is a possibility that we
can receive some 7.01 Comprehensive Planning Assistance Funds
through the Larimer-Weld Council of Governments.
The money would be used for a housing plan. This is different
than the Housing Assistance Plan that is being prepared in
connection with our Community Development Entitlement application.
It is, however, consistent with our overall needs of the City.
This would be a 2/3 Federal and 1/3 local match. Our 1/3 match
of $6,500 would and could be "in kind" contribution as staff
assistance. As yet we are not completely assured we can get this
332
money, but it is necessary for us to get this Resolution to
the Larimer-Weld COG as soon as possible."
Planning Director, Les Kaplan, spoke to the need for the housing
plan.

Engineering Agreement with Cornell,
Howland, Hayes, and Merryfield Approved
Following is a.portion of the City Manager's memorandum on this
item:
"At the present time the City of Fort Collins is working on .
increasing the size of the outlet at Soldier Canyon. This work
is being done through the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy
District with the Bureau of Reclamation doing the actual work.
There -,are other parties included in the project. However, the
City of Fort Collins is the primary user of the extended plant
capacity. We have reported on this.matter to the City Council
on several occasions previously.
In connection with this project there is need to start the
preliminary studies on the evaluation of alternate raw water
transmission pipeline in size, capacity, flow, and materials.
338
P:i
We would also like to study the feasibility of any hydro-
electric power generated from the raw water,flow supply.
Cornell, Howland, Hayes, and Merryfield were our .engineers
on the Soldier Canyon Water Treatment Plant No. 2 expansion.
They were selected by a committee consisting of Dugan Wilkinson,
Norm Evans, Ev Richardson, Chuck Liquin, and me. We have all
been very pleased with their work. The preliminary study part
of this project would cost $7,500, which is less than the
amount where Council approval is necessary. However, in all
probability this firm will be the engineers doing the complete
design and inspection of the project. Therefore, it is important
that we receive Council approval before they start.
Besides the Agreement, enclosed is a memo from Roger E. Krempel
on the need for the new water pipeline at Soldier Canyon, a
progress report on the Soldier Canyon outlet, and a sketch of
the proposed project."

Sole Source Purchase of Excavator
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item and
the memorandum from Director of Engineering Services, Roy A. Bingman:
"The City of Fort Collins has an urgent need for an excavator.
We have money budgeted in the Seven -Year Capital Fund - Storm
Drainage, for this equipment. This equipment would be used on
a periodic basis for the next several years in connection with our
Spring Creek storm drainage program. We also could use the
equipment on many other projects such as Spring Creek interceptor
sanitary sewer line.
Enclosed is a memo from Roy A. Bingman, Engineering Services:
Director, discussing the possible purchase of a 1971 Link Belt
l2 Cubic Yard Excavator Model LS - 5000. We can purchase this
used excavator".for $31,500. A new excavator would cost between
$125,000 and $130,000. Frank Fisch, our Street Superintendent,
has examined and operated this equipment and found it in good'
condition. The memo also explains what it would cost us to
lease a similar piece of equipment."
Following is the memorandum from Roy A. Bingman:
"In connection with the construction of the Spring Creek sanitary
sewer line from Welch Street to Stover Street by the Streets
Division of the Department, Frank Fisch has obtained prices on
leasing an excavator.
The costs for available equipment on a lease basis are as follows:
Case Power and Equipment
$3850/mo. 6 month minimum $23,100.00
H. W. Moore
$4500/mo. 6 month minimum $27,000.00
340
We have checked on the availability of used equipment for purchase.
The Case Power and Equipment Company has a 1971 Link Belt lk
cubic yard excavator available for purchase for $31,500.
The rationale for purchase of an excavator rather than lease
is that the first six months' lease cost is about three-quarters
of the purchase price of the piece of equipment; the work on the
Spring Creek sanitary sewer will be a 3 or 4 year project, involving
the installation of a new line from Welch Street on the east to
Shields Street on the west; the yearly lease expense will be in
the range of $25,000.00 or more. We have also previously discussed
the purchase of an excavator for the channelization work along
Spring Creek for the storm drainage program.
on the basis of using the excavator for the sanitary sewer installa-
tion along Spring Creek alone, we_anticipate a minimum savings
of $43,500.00 over a three year period ($75,000 lease expense,
less $31,500 purchase price). In addition, the machine is then
available for the channelization work on Spring Creek.
The machine has been checked by the Street Department personnel
and found to be in good condition.
Based on the indicated savings, I recommend a sole source purchase
of the excavator at $31,500 from funds available through the
storm drainage portion of the Capital Program. The machine would
be charged to the sanitary sewer installation project at an
equitable rate, and would be used for the Spring Creek channeliza-
tion work beginning in the Fall of 1977 or Spring of 1978, depending
upon the scheduling of the sewer work."
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by -Councilman Bloom
that Council authorize the sole source purchase of a used Link
Belt 12 cubic yard excavator from Case Power and Equipment for

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Assessing
Costs in Street Improvement District No. 69
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"At the January; 18, 1977, meeting the City Council adopted
a resolution accepting improvements in this District. These
improvements in District No. 69 (Lemay Avenue, Prospect Street,
and Riverside Drive) have been completed. A resolution provided
for the public hearing on the proposed assessment roll. Enclosed
is another copy of the January 13, 1977, memo from City Engineer
Don Parsons with regard to the cost of this project. After the
hearing, the Council should adopt the aforementioned ordinance
and assessment roll __as submitted or amended as based on the
public hearing.
City Attorney March stated this is the hearing date which has -.been
scheduled and notice duly given on this ordinance. Mayor Wilkinson
called for anyone wishing to make comment to step forward.
Mr. Al Thompson, owner at 1015 and 1025 Riverside, stated he
had an agreement with the City around 1965, that if he would
install the curb and gutter he would not be re -assessed for this
improvement.
Director of Engineering Services, Roy A. Bingman, presented ;the
following memorandum on this remonstrance: M
"Mr. Al Thompson, the owner of property on Riverside Drive in the
improvement district, has requested that he not be assessed for
the paving reconstruction adjacent to his property. The back-
ground for his request is the following:
According to Mr. Thompson, sometime around 1963 he concluded an
agreement with the City and the County for the improvement of
Riverside Drive in front of his property. The terms .of the agree-
ment`were generally that in consideration of his dedicating the
right-of-way for the street, the City would construct the street
if he would have the curb and gutter installed. The County
apparently built the opposite half of the street at the same time.
Mr. Thompson also questions why the street section in front of
his property was replaced under the recent improvement district.
344
The reasoning for replacing the asphalt at this property was
based upon the crown of the street and the grades on the
opposite side of the street. The existing asphalt was approxi-
mately seven inches lower than the final center grade. It would
have been necessary to cover the existing asphalt with a new
asphalt layer to fit it into the project. Instead, it proved
less expensive to remove the existing asphalt and replace it.
The question here seems to be one of whether the City could be
presumed to have accepted this portion of Riverside Drive as
having met the City standards of the time. On the basis that the
full width of paving was installed across the frontage of his
property and the fact that this pavement was, in good condition;
we recommend that Mr. Thompson be given credit for the asphalt
pavement in the amount of $1829.88."
City Attorney March stated the City Clerk had also received a
letter from the Union Pacific Corporation complaining about
an assessment against their property in the amount of $3,949.14;
when. -the City has originally installed Riverside Drive beyond
Lemay, the City has obtained an agreement with the Union Pacific,:.
in 1965, whereby they gave the City permission to go across their.
ground and one term of that provision was as follows:
"Section 5. No special assessments for constructing or --
maintaining the highway located on the crossing area shall
be made by the City against the adjacent railroad right-of-
way of the Railroad Company."
There being no further remonstrances, City Attorney March stated
the staff would recommend that the Council delete from Mr. Thompson'
assessment the amount relating to the asphalt payment in the
amount of $1,829.88', and that they delete the assessment against -.
the Union Pacific in the amount of $3,949.14.
Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom
to adopt the staff's recommendation. Yeas: Councilm_embers
Bloom, Bowling, Reeves, Russell, Suinn.and Wilkinson. _Nays: _Ncne.
(Councilwoman Gray out of room.)
Mayor Wilkinson then declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves
to amend page 2 of the ordinance by changing the $494,134.64 to
$499;913.66 and by changing the assessments shown on page 1 of 1
under the section of the assessment roll dealing with Riverside/
Mulberry to Lemay so that the property of Alfred D. Thompson, Jr.
or Helen S. Thompson listed on that page is -charged for pavement
and curb and gutter $1,529.10 and a total assessment after all
adjustments $1,047.23; and by changing page 8 of 8 of that part
of the assessment roll relating to Riverside/Lemay to Prospect
by deleting the assessment against the Union Pacific.Railroad
345
Company in the amount of $3,949.14; and by changing the totals
on the assessment roll to correspond with those changes.

Resolution Adopted Setting Forth Findings
of Facts and Conclusions Regarding :the
Horsetooth-South Mesa Annexation and
Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Annexing
the Horsetooth-South Mesa Annexation to the
City of Fort Collins
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"At its January 18, 1977, meeting, the City Council adopted a
Resolution initiating annexation proceedings for. -the Horsetooth-
South Mesa Annexation. This Annexation consists of 89.2 acres
of land located immediately west of College Avenue and north
of Horsetooth Road. This land has been surrounded for more than
three years on two-thirds of the contiguous property. Involuntary
annexation is consistent with the City's overall policy. Since
this property is not completely surrounded, we have to have an
official public hearing prior to the passage of the annexation
ordinance. The Resolution provides for a public hearing at
5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March.l, 1977."
Mr. George Holter, 2224 Moffet, stated he wanted to discuss the
zoning and not the annexation so he would not comment until the
hearing on the 15th of March.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman Russell
to adopt the resolution. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling,
Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.

Resolution Adopted Setting Forth Findings of
Facts and Conclusions Regarding the Brune
Annexation; and Ordinance Adopted on First Reading
Annexing the Brune Annexation
Following:;is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"At the January 18, 1977, meeting the City Council adopted a
resolution initiating annexation proceedings for the Brune
Annexation. This Annexation consists of 14.45 acres located on
the north side of Horsetooth Road immediately east of and
contiguous to the Strachan Fourth Annexation, which was annexed
to the city on second reading at the January 4, 1977, meeting.
At the December 21, 1976, meeting the Council adopted Ordinance
No. 101, 1976, annexing the Strachan Fourth Annexation on first
reading. This 7.1-acre tract was part of a larger tract which
was eligible for involuntary annexation. The owner of the.;,
Strachan Fourth Annexation voluntarily petitioned for annexation
The Council accepted the voluntary annexation by ordinance but
requested the Administration to take the necessary legal steps.
to involuntarily annex to. the City the remaining property.
The attorney for the Brune Annexation has requested a continuance
of this matter. It is necessary that we convene the public hearing
at 5:30 p.m. on March 1, 1977. The major question is one of
zoning. This zoning issue has been discussed previously with the
City Attorney. The Administration is recommending that we proceed
with the annexation since this is to.a large degree automatic
and part of our overall consistent policy. We could hold off
on both matters, but it would be preferable to only hold off on
the zoning matter. An undue amount of red tape would result in
delaying what has in the past been an automatic involuntary
annexation of property."
Attorney Russell S. Pugh, appearing on behalf of the Brune
Brothers, stated the Brunes'had requested that he convey to the
Council the fact that they no longer oppose the annexation and
have had an opportunity to study the "T" Transition Ordinance
and they feel it might be an answer to some differences of opinion
as to the zoning of the property.
Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves
to adopt the resolution. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling

property owner on a building in this area so he would withdraw
from consideration or voting on this item.

"The Riverside Subdivision, Third Filing; is located on the
southwest side of Riverside Drive. In December, 1976, this area

City's Goals and Objectives Statement;
Revised County Land Use Plan
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"At its February 22, 1977, meeting the Planning and Zoning Board
approved the final draft of the Goals and Objectives statement
and referred it to the City Council for final review and adoption.
In general this is an excellent document that has had a great
deal of citizen input. There is still need for more Council and
staff input into the document before final adoption.
Recently, the Larimer County Planning Commission adopted its
revised County Land Use Policy Plan. We understand that this
Plan is at the printer now and copies should be available in the
next several days. As soon as copies are available, we will send
thecri•to you. Since this County Policy Plan has direct bearing
on our City's Goals and Objectives statement, it is important
that the City Council review both of these at the same time.
We are sending you a copy of the draft of the final changes that
were incorporated in the Land Use Plan. Under separate cover we
are sending you a copy of the 1977 Goals and Objectives statement."
