9. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 146, 2001, Authorizing a Declaration of Covenants.
Conditions and Restrictions for a 478.5 Acre Portion of Lone View Farm Open Space
"Ute Farm"and"One Putt"are part of the Long View Farm Open Space between Loveland
and Fort Collins. The properties were purchased in 1997 by Latimer County, the City of
Loveland, and the City of Fort Collins. The property is managed by Larimer County,
pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between the owning entities that was signed in
1997. Larimer County has applied for, and Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund(GOCO)
has awarded,a grant to assist in the purchase of the property. The proceeds of the grant will
be shared by the owning entities. GOCO requires that certain restrictions be agreed to by
landowners in order to protect the conservation values of the property for which a grant has
been awarded.
Ordinance No. 146, 2001,which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on September
18, 2001, authorizes the execution of a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions on the Ute Farm/One Putt property.
10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 147, 2001, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent
Domain Proceedings of Certain Lands for the Glenmoor Detention Pond in the Canal
Importation Basin.
The proposed Glenmoor Detention Pond is a component of the Canal Importation Basin
Master Drainage Plan, recently adopted by City Council (Ordinance No. 121, 2001). The
property lies along the Plum Channel north of West Elizabeth and just to the east of Taft Hill
Road and is approximately 4.92 acres in size. This detention pond will provide needed
volume to slow flood flows and protect downstream properties from flooding. Although
construction of the pond is not the highest priority in the basin,the property was already in
the City's land development process for approval of 40 residential units. In order to ensure
the property would be available to construct the pond,the City entered into negotiations with
the property owner to purchase the land. The property owner does not object to selling the
property to the City, however, the City and the property owner have been unable to reach
agreement on the fair market value of the property. Appraisals by both the City and the
owner have been completed. Both the City and the property owner have agreed eminent
domain proceedings are the next logical step to allow the court to determine fair market
value.
Ordinance No. 147, 2001, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on September 18,
2001.

11. First Readinc of Ordinance No. 150, 2001,Authorizinc the Purchasing Agent to Enter into
an Extension of the Golf Professional Services Agreement at Collindale Golf Course for up
to Five Additional Years.
The existing Agreement with Collindale Golf Course contractual Golf Professional James
H. Greer,PGA,expires on December 31,2001. This five-year Agreement was entered into
on December 10, 1996. As stated in the Agreement, "...This Agreement may be extended
beyond the original five (5) year term if performance is satisfactory and subject to City
Council approval and negotiation of a mutually acceptable extension Agreement". The
performance of Mr. Greer has been very satisfactory during the term, and staff has
negotiated a mutually acceptable extension to the Agreement.A new section has been added
to the Agreement regarding"Behavior/Standards of Personal Conduct",which gives the City
additional authority to discipline and/or terminate the Agreement due to personal behavior
and standards ofpersonal conduct requirements for individuals working for or as contractors,
as defined.
The Golf Board took public input/comments on the proposed extension at its August 15,
2001 meeting, receiving no public opposition and only positive and supportive comments
to extend the Agreement. The Golf Board then voted unanimously to recommend that City
Council extend the Agreement with James H. Greer for up to five additional one-year
renewal periods through December 31, 2006. The City Code requires contracts over five
years in length to be approved by Council.
12. First Reading of Ordinance No. 151, 2001,Amending Chanter 2 of the City Code Relating
to the Functions of the Human Relations Commission.
During the City Council's periodic review of the Human Relations Commission ("HRC")
at its July 24 study session,the HRC noted that its functions relating to human service needs
recommendations and its role in relation to the Citizen Review Board have changed. The
HRC requested that the City Code be changed to reflect these changes.
Because the procedures for the allocation of funds to meet basic human needs in the City
have changed and the HRC is no longer involved in that process, that function has been
removed. The wording of the function concerning the facilitation of the review of citizen
complaints concerning the actions of police officers or community services officers has been
modified to clarify that the members of the HRC can assist citizens who wish to file
complaints.

13. First Reading of Ordinance No. 152, 2001, Authorizing the Conveyance to Legacy Land
Trust of an Undivided Interest in the Sauer Open Space Conservation Easement Authorizing
a Grant Agreement with Great Outdoors Colorado. and Authorizing the Amendment of the
Intergovernmental Agreement with Larimer County and Loveland forthe Sauer Open Space
Sauer Open Space is located between Loveland and Fort Collins west of Taft Hill Road,
abutting the southern portion of Coyote Ridge Natural Area. The property was purchased
in 2000 by the City of Loveland,Larimer County,and the City of Fort Collins. The property
is managed by the City of Loveland.
Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund (GOCO) awarded a $500,000 grant to assist in
purchase of the property. GOCO places certain requirements on landowners in order to
protect the conservation values of the property. These restrictions are reflected in Ordinance
No. 42, 2000, adopted on Second Reading on May 2, 2000, authorizing the conveyance of
a conservation easement to Larimer County. After that Council action was taken, GOCO
determined that the proposed arrangement was not acceptable, and instead required that an
outside party have the power to enforce the easement. Since the conveyance of an interest
in the conservation easement to that party, the Legacy Land Trust, was not included in
Ordinance No. 42, 2000,this Ordinance authorizes that Legacy Land Trust be provided an
interest in the conservation easement.
14. Resolution 2001-122 Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Intergovernmental
Agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation for Funding the Design of

Mountain Avenue, Oak Street and Olive Street.

Funds and State matching funds to pay for 100% of the costs to design crosswalk
improvements at the intersections of U.S. Highway 287 and LaPorte Avenue, Mountain
Avenue, Oak Street and Olive Street in Fort Collins. The crossings will be constructed of
either asphalt or concrete,with stamped and colored enhancement features to improve safety
by increasing visibility of the crossings. Adoption of this Resolution allows the City
Manager to execute a contract with the State for the receipt of funds for completing the
design of crosswalk improvements at the above-mentioned intersections.

ITEMS NEEDING INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION
31. First Reading of Ordinance No. 154,2001,Amending the Zoning of the City of Fort Collins
by Changing the Zoning Classification for That Certain Property Known as the 450 North
College Avenue Rezoning,
The parcel consists of approxima es located east of College Avenue and south of
the Poudre River. The ains the former Light and Power plant that is
occupied by� nergy Conversion laboratory.
Staff has recdititliended adoption on the basis that the request generally complies with the
Comprehensive Plan (City Plan); the City Structure Plan, an element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan;Downtown Plan;Downtown River Corridor Land Use Policy Plan;and
the Downtown River Corridor Implementation Plan. The Planning and Zoning Board
disagreed with staff s position relative to the comprehensive plan,and those referenced City
Plan elements or related documents, finding that the rezoning does not ensure preservation
of the historic elements present on the site. Further, the Board determined that the request
is not warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and including
the subject property.
32. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 149,2001,Authorizing the Conveyance ofNon-exclusive
Easement Interests for the Construction of a Thirty-six Inch Water Line by the Fort Collins-
Loveland Water District on a Portion of the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area.
On August 21,2001,Council denied Fort Collins-Loveland Water District's(the"District")
request for easements to construct a 36"waterline. The District proposed to construct the
waterline across Cathy Fromme Prairie,east of Taft Hill Road,between Harmony Road and
Trilby Road. Since then staff has worked with the District to move the waterline closer to
Taft Hill Road into an area that will be disturbed in the future when the road is widened. The
original proposal had the waterline located 175' east of the centerline of Taft Hill Road for
the entire 2-mile length. The revised proposal locates the waterline 160' east of centerline
for the first 1 1/4 miles and then 80' east of centerline for the last 3/4 mile. The proposed
alignment will lessen the impact to Cathy Fromme Prairie,meet the needs of the District and
allow for the future reconstruction of Taft Hill Road. This easement has been placed in a
location that basically will be disturbed when the roadway is reconstructed,thus minimizing
the impact on the natural area.
