The CityAttorney advised the Council that he had changed his opinion in reference to the second proposal made by Bajada, Inc., in their letter of June 24, 1968. He stated that he felt that if the Council did not make some arrangements by which the developers could abide by committments he had made, and be forced to go to court before any action of approval could be taken upon the plat. He said he felt that an agreement to become part of such plat and appear thereon, could be approved as to language or the wording thereof. The following statement was presented and read at length: Bajada Inc. agrees to make the improvements on Drake Road (or South Taft Hill) shown on this plat when required in due course by the City to the extent of its legal liability therefor as now existing, unless it promptly brings an action in the District Court of Larimer County and it is finally determined by the Court that the City does not have the existing properly exercised and valid rights and powers at this time to require such improvements at the expense of Bajada, Inc. as a condition of approving this plat. The showing of improvements in Drake Road (or South Taft Hill) and this agreement shall not in any way be lased or construed as evidencing an agreement on the part of Bajada, Inc. to make such improvements so far as such suit is concerned, or right to plat such area, and are made under compulsion solely because the City will not approve this plat otherwise." After some discussion between the Council and the City Attorney in reference to this statement which has been just presented, Councilman Kruchten stated that he felt that the objective of approving this statement should be brought out and in his opinion, these objectives were that the Council mt inhibit the developer to go to court, if he so desired, and neither do they want to relinguish their right of approval at such time that Bajada, Inc agrees to make such improvements. Motion was made by Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilman Kruchten, that the wording of the statement as presented of the proposal be approved to be used on the plat when it is presented. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Carson, Troxell, Kruchten and Bennett. Absent: Councilman Kissock, excused.Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.
