While grading of the site for the Horticulture Center project was underway,it was discovered
that a fiber optic line owned by Colorado State University had been installed on the property
prior to conveyance of the property to the City. CSU removed the fiber optic line at that
time, and City staff has been in discussions with CSU staff since that time regarding the
relocation of that fiber optic line to meet CSU's needs.
CSU recently contacted the City to request permission to locate a new duct bank, in which
the fiber optic line and future fiber optic line would be placed, along the eastern edge of the
Horticulture Center property, within the area that has been identified as public utility
easement. CSU presently has a contractor engaged to perform work in the vicinity and can
save significant costs if allowed to proceed promptly with the installation. In addition,
because of the work schedule for the Horticulture Center Project, City staff has determined
that delays in installation could interfere with the City's Project. In order to authorize the
installation of the duct bank in the public utility easement area, City staff is requesting that
the Council approve this Resolution authorizing a revocable permit so that the work can
proceed expeditiously.
9. Adjournment.
