Hill and Hill
April 3, 1969
az_l
City of Fort Collins
Fort Collins. Colorado
Attention: City Manager Tom Coffey
Re: Fort Collins -Loveland Water District --Greenwalt 5th Annexation --and
Annexations Generally
Gentlemen:
The annexation by the City of property in the Fort Collins -Loveland Water
District and in the East Larimer County Water District, causes conflicts betiw een Dis-
tricts and the City, which should be avoided as far as possible.
By our letter of March 17, 1969, we called the City's attention to oneof these
involving the right by the Fort Collins -Loveland Water.District to purchase 60 units of
Northern Colorado Caservancy District water. Thisreter may be water which the City is
intending to acquire in connection with the Greenwalt 5th Annexation.
As we pointed out in our earlier letter, the District has the first right to
buy this water and has exercised its right.
Also, the rules and regulations of the Districts provide as follows:
"14. It shall be unlawful for any person to lay a water line within the Dis-
trict without first having made formal application to the manager for approval and com-
pliance with the regulations of the Board.
"15. All water line extensions within the District shall be made by The Board
or under the supervision of the Board.
"16. No person shall uncover, make any connection with, or opening into, use,
alter, or disturb any waterline, without first obtaining a written permit from the Manager.
We are calling this matter to your attention again in case it should have any
bearing on the City's final action on the Greenwalt Annexation, including the matter of the
right to buy the Water and the utility plans required by the City in connection with the
annexation.
As you can see by the District rules, plans for water lines must be submitted
to the District for approval and compliance with the regulations of the District Board
before construction or installation.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Alden T. Hill

Reference subject bids which were tabled by the Council on 27 March pending
further information as to why the low bid of Western States Machinery Company did not meet
specifications.
Western States by letter of 19 March, accompanying their bid, took exception
to six items of our bid specifications. Copy of their letter is attached herewith.
M ost,important of the items not meeting specifications are as follows:
1. Item 3 of our specifications requested 32, to 35' sheave height with a 10
foot extension called for in item 8 giving a total of 45 foot with boom
extended. The model bid by Western States has a 31'9" sheave height with
an 8 foot extension giving a total heighth of 39'9"•
2. Our item 11 called for a winch capacity of 12,000 pounds compared to the
10,000 capacity bid by Western States.

April 2, 1969
The Commissioners of the
County of Larimer
Larimer County Court House
Fort Collins, Colorado
Gentlemen:
The Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board has requested me to convey to you
their deep concern of the future development of land along Highway 287, between Loveland
and Fort Collins. We believe that you have exhibited an equal concern by your actions
in considering requests for rezoning in this area and by the support and assitance you hav
given us in reserving right-of-way for the widening of the highway facility. We believe
that such techniques have served both the City and County well duringthis period of growth
We are now entering a period of growth in this area which, from all indications,
will be unparalleled in th- history of Northern Colorado. We believe this calls for an
even more concerted effort towards the cooperative planning of the Loveland -Fort Collins
corridor involving the thre e jurisdictions concerned: Larimer County, Loveland, and
Fort Collins.
We would like to suggest that effective immediately, the three respective juris-
dictions undertake a jrint study and planning program to develop, as an initial step, a
comprehensive development plan for the Highway 287 corridor between Loveland and Fort
Collins. We believe that this..:plan should, as a minimum, address itself to the questions
to land use, traffic control and access, and zoning. To this end, and in order to insure
that the plan be able to optimize both.the private and public interes.t., we would propose
that a moratorium be declared on all zoning cases involving.high.density .residential,
commercial and industmial development, effective immediately.in the area between Horse -
tooth Road on the north and a point similarly situated on the south as agreeable to Lovelan .
We look forward to your resp:fl;nse to this proposal and hope that by working
together, we cam.arrive at a workable and effective plan for the development of this
important area.
Very truly yours;.
