RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. FINANCIAL IMPACT The total amount of consideration to be paid to the City for the easements is $2000. This will include the cost of the easement, processing, and administration fees. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Greeley, along with the North Weld County Water District and East Latimer County Water Districts, (the "Districts") are in the process of acquiring the necessary easements for their waterline transmission projects("GWET"and"NEWT")which are scheduled to begin construction in January 2009. The City of Fort Collins Engineering Department owns a parcel of land at 1000 North College Avenue on which the City of Greeley and the Districts have requested easements for their projects. The City property was purchased for the future intersection of the realigned East Vine Drive and North College Avenue as shown on the Master Street Plan. In addition to the $2000 compensation, the City of Greeley has also agreed to demolish the existing building, as requested by City Staff, and reseed the ground after construction is complete. BACKGROUND The Greeley Waterline Enhancement Transmission Project (GWET) involves the installation of a 60-inch diameter pipeline and is designed to transport water from its Bellvue water treatment plant located northwest of Fort Collins to the City of Greeley and surrounding towns. The North Weld County Water District and East Larimer County Water District Waterline Transmission Project (NEWT) is designed to meet the water needs of the growing population in Northern Colorado, including the City of Fort Collins. It involves the installation of a large diameter pipeline (between 42 and 60 inches) from the Soldier Canyon Filter Plant near Horsetooth Reservoir to the two Districts. August 19, 2008 -2- Item No. 22 The City Engineering Department owns the parcel of land located at 1000 North College Avenue. This parcel was purchased in 2007 to be used for the future intersection of North College Avenue and the realigned East Vine Drive, as shown on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. The City of Greeley has requested a .066 acre easement which will encumber the north nineteen feet of the parcel for its waterline. The Districts have requested a.086 acre parcel that will encumber the south 25 feet of the parcel for their waterline. The location of these waterlines was shown on the final route design for the GWET project, which was approved by the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board on June 16, 2005. The City of Greeley and the Districts have agreed to pay the City a fee of$1000 for each of the easements. The City of Greeley has also agreed to demolish the existing building, as requested by City staff, and will reseed the ground after construction is complete. City staff has requested the demolition of the building since it will save the City this cost when the future intersection is constructed. Engineering Department staff has reviewed and agreed to the request for the conveyance of the easements. ATTACHMENTS 1. Location Map 2. Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes, June 16, 2005.

The mofinn was ann�n..ed a � Project: Greeley Waterline Enhancement Transmission Project— Site Plan Advisory Review, # 21-05 Project Description: Request to construct the Fort Collins component of a 60-inch diameter water transmission line to provide additional water transmission capacity from the Belivue Water Treatment Plant to the City of Greeley's treated water distribution system. Recommendation: Approval Hearinq Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence: Member Torgerson conflicted out on this item, Anne Aspen, City Planner gave the Staff Presentation recommending approval. This is a proposal for a 60-inch diameter pipeline that is entirely underground and will run from the Belivue Water Treatment to Greeley s water treatment distribution system. About nine miles of that is within the city of Fort Collins. Staff has been asked to do a site plan advisory review. Staff has not found any fatal flaws in terms of location, character and extent and staff is recommending approval. Tom Boyle, Boyle Engineering stated that the map being shown is the overall project map from the viewpoint of the city of Greeley. It is actually a 30 mile pipeline that will run from their treatment plant north of Bellvue all the way down In through the city of Greeley. At this point they have constructed about two and a half miles in Windsor and they are currently under construction for about seven miles between Windsor and Timnath. The piece in Fort Collins is what they are studying now and is what is before the Board right now. Mr. Boyle showed a schematic drawing that showed the process they have gone through in order to find the preferred route they are at today. Mr. Boyle reported that last night they had their public hearing with Larimer County and received approval of the location and extent on the project. They also have their wetland delineation agreement with the Corp of Engineers. From that they intend to r Planning and Zoning Board Minutes June 16, 2005 Page 7 integrate the comments that they have gained through the submittal process and move into final design and easement negotiations and ultimately construction of the project. Mr. Boyle explained the extensive public outreach they did to notify people of this project. He also showed a slide of all the different agencies and departments they have coordinated with in Fort Collins and Larimer County. Mr. Boyle reviewed the different routes they reviewed. Bruce Meighen, EDAW spoke about the land use and environmental impacts associated with this project. He walked the Board through the preferred route and pointed out some of the coordination with future development and mitigation measures taken. PUBLIC INPUT None. Member Stockover moved to approve the Greeley Enhancement Transmission Project (G WET), Site Plan Advisory Review, #21-05, based on the facts and findings of staff. Member Schmidt seconded the motion. Member Schmidt was impressed with all the outreach that they have done in trying to touch base with as many people as possible and she hoped that all the cooperation in working together continues as they move through the project. The motion was approved 5-1 with Member Torgerson abstaining due to a conflict of interest. Other Business None. The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m. These meeting minutes were approved by the Planning and Zoning Board January 19, 2006.
