11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 094, 2003, Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriated
Amounts to be Used to Construct Interim Roadway Improvements on County Road 11 and
Douglas Road.
The Northeast Area Overlay Project was intended to improve roads in the Mountain Vista
Sub Area. Several different developments,as well as currently undeveloped parcels of land,
are included in the project area. The objective of the City is to collect the developers'portion
of the cost of the improvements in advance of the work, combining the individual
developments into one cohesive project. The project is funded by"contributions in aid"from
local developments, as well as the Street Oversizing Program. These "contributions in aid"
are cash payments from the developers which meet the developers'responsibility under the
Land Use Code to pay the cost of constructing the local street portion of the street
improvements adjacent to their developments.
This project is being completed in phases as the revenues are collected from developers.
Phase 1 from International Boulevard to County Road 52 was completed in the summer of
2000. Increased development in the area indicates Phase 2 of the project is needed.
Phase 2 of this project overlays, widens and repairs County Road 9 and County Road 11,
from International to Douglas Road, as well as Douglas Road, from County Road 11 to
County Road 13. This overlay project will be an interim improvement project and will
provide two travel lanes and two bike lanes,allowing new development in the area to begin
construction. This Ordinance will transfer funds deposited with the City from the
developments for construction of Phase 2 of the overlay project. County Road 11 from
County Road 52 to Douglas Road: and Douglas Road from County Road 11 to County Road
13 will be widened and overlaid with this project.
12. First Reading of Ordinance No. 095, 2003, Authorizing the Appropriation of Funds for
Expenditures for Capital Improvements and Operating Expenses at the Fort Collins-Loveland
Airport.
The Airport's budget for 2003 did not include any carry-over capital projects or new capital
projects due to the change in management at the Airport. This Ordinance appropriates
$40,060 for completion of the FAA sponsored aircraft ramp area reconstruction project;
$63,080 for design costs of the FAA sponsored snow removal building addition; and
$277,800 for estimated costs to prepare the FAA sponsored Airport Master Plan Update

the Swift Addition to Fossil Lake P.U.D. Annexation.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 096, 2003, Annexing Property Known as Swift

C. First Reading of Ordinance No.097,2003,Amending the Zoning Map of the City of
Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Swift
Addition to Fossil Lake P.U.D. Annexation.
This is a request for a 100% voluntary annexation and zoning of approximately 55 acres of
privately owned property known as the Fossil Lake P.U.D. — Swift Addition, which is a
County-approved development in the Fossil Creek Reservoir Planning Area. The
recommended zoning is a combination of the LMN—Low-Density Mixed Use Neighborhood
Zoning District, and the UE—Urban Estate Zoning District.
This property is eligible for annexation according to CRS, requiring 1/6 contiguity to the
existing city limits. This annexation application complies with this standard since the
property has 1042 feet of its total boundary of approximately 6107 feet contiguous to the
existing city limits. This exceeds the minimum 1018 feet required to achieve 1/6 contiguity.
This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Fossil Lake Annexation No. 1
and the Fossil Lake Annexation No. 2.
14. First Reading of Ordinance No. 098, 2003, Authorizing the Transfer of a 151-acre Portion
of the Resource Recovery Farm from the Wastewater Utility to the Natural Areas Program
in Exchange for a Total Payment Amount of$1,890,306.
In 1982,the City developed the Resource Recovery Farm("RR Farm")at Prospect Road and
I-25 as a beneficial reuse site for wastewater biosolids. The City land applied biosolids on
the site through the year 2000. As the City has grown, the site has become less functional
for this type of use. In 1993,the biosolids program began its move north to Meadow Springs
Ranch. With the move now complete,the Utilities is no longer using the RR Farm land for
biosolids application.
In 2000,the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas program purchased 174-acres of the RR Farm
along with 3.6 shares of the Lake Canal water for the Running Deer Natural Area. In
discussion at the City Council study session regarding the draft I-25 Corridor Plan on August
27, 2002, there was general support for the City's Natural Areas program to purchase the
City of Fort Collins ®
151-acre portion of the RR Farm from Utilities. This 151-acre transfer to the Natural Areas
program would include the 2.4 shares of Lake Canal water associated with this portion of the
RR Farm.
15. Resolution 2003-081 Authorizing the Execution of a Grant Agreement with the State of
Colorado for Funding of the Airport Master Plan Update at the Fort Collins-Loveland
Municipal Airport.
Last year the Airport submitted a Grant Proposal to the Colorado Aeronautics Board for
financial assistance to help pay for the Master Plan Update Study. The amount of$7,555 is
being given to the two cities as a result of that request. The State wants the funds committed
before the new grant cycle begins to ensure the funds will be accepted and not available to
other airports. Other grant funds from the FAA will be forthcoming when negotiations with
the Master Plan consultant have been completed. Funding from the FAA will be 90%of the
eligible scope items.
16. Resolution 2003-082 Authorizingthe e Airport Manager to Execute a Lease Agreement at the
Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal AiMort with the State of Colorado.
The Colorado State Forest Service has used the Airport for the past several years to operate
a small air tanker during summer months to assist with fighting forest fires. The pilot and
ground crew need a waiting area and small office for communications and staging area. The
terminal building has a small office area on the backside of the building suitable for this
purpose and is close to where the aircraft is staged on the ramp area. This room will be used
through the fire season,which typically runs through the end of September. Use of the room
will assist the Forest Service with its firefighting efforts.

ITEMS NEEDING INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION
20. Consideration of the Appeal of the April 24, 2003, Determination of the Administrative
Hearing Officer to Approve the Bella Vista, PDP.
On April 10,2003,an administrative public hearing was conducted to receive presentations
and testimony on the Bella Vista,Project Development Plan(PDP),a mixed-use(residential
and commercial)project on 3.0 acres. There would be a total of 81 residential dwelling units
in the proposed three buildings and 16,000 square feet of non-residential uses on the lower
two floors of the building right at the intersection of East Horsetooth Road and Stanford
Road. On April 24, 2003, the Administrative Hearing Officer approved the Bella Vista,
PDP.
The property is zoned MMN - Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (as of the
effective date of March 28, 1997 for the new Land Use Code). The property is located at the
northeast comer of East Horsetooth Road and Stanford Road,east of South College Avenue,
and west of South Lemay Avenue.
On May 7, 2003, a Notice of Appeal was received by the City Clerk's office regarding the
decision of the Administrative Hearing Officer.
21. Resolution 2003-083 Accepting the Advisory Opinion and Recommendation No. 2003-1 of
the Ethics Review Board.
Section 2-569(e) of the City Code provides that all opinions and recommendations of the
City Council Ethics Review Board be submitted to the full Council for review and approval.
The Ethics Review Board met on June 23, 2003, to render an opinion on whether
Councilmember Kastein would have a conflict of interest in participating in Council's
consideration of(1) a possible amendment to the City's Harmony Corridor Plan (the "Plan)
to allow for a life style center;and(2)the possible review of a decision of the City's Planning
and Zoning Board regarding a particular life style center on the site of the Plan amendment.
The question arises because of Councilmember Kastein's employment at LSI Logic, which
has entered into a contract to sell the site to the developer of the life style center. The
meeting of the Board resulted in the issuance of Opinion No. 2003-1.
