for Ziegler Road adjacent to the school property. Staff worked with the Poudre R-1 School
District in an effort to coordinate the completion of Ziegler between Trilby Road and Kechter
Road as well as the connection of Trilby between Timberline Road and Kechter. The
improvements will be to an important segment of roadway which will provide primary access
to the new Kinard Junior High School projected to open in the fall of 2006. This project is
funded entirely through developer contributions and the construction will be managed by the
City Street Oversizing Program staff.
Ordinance No. 061, 2005, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 7, 2005.
9. Second Readin2 of Ordinance No 062 2005 Approving the Terms of the City's Lease of
Building 15 Old Town Square Fort Collins. Colorado.
In order for this property to become tax exempt,state law requires that the Council approve
the terms of the lease by this Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading
on June 7, 2005.
Since February 1996, the City has been leasing space in Old Town Square for the Police
Services District One office. Police Services has leased the present Old Town Square
location since January 1,2000,which term ended and then renewed for one year on January
1, 2004. The present lease term commenced January 1,2005 and will expire December 31,
2009. Lease payments under the new lease will include base rent,common area maintenance
("CAM")expenses,insurance,utilities and taxes (should they apply). Base rent for the first
year shall be$11.00 per square foot based on 2,075 square feet. The second and third year
base rents shall escalate to $12.00 per square foot. The fourth year will escalate to $13.00
per square foot, and the fifth year to $14.00. This escalation was based upon a negotiated
amount in line with market rents. CAM, insurance and utilities are based on the City's pro
rata share. For the first year the estimated prorated monthly charges amount to $1.90 per
square foot for CAM, $.28 per square foot for insurance, and $2.13 per square foot for
utilities.
10. Second Readies of Ordinance No 063 2005 Authorizing a Deed of Easement for the
Pleasant Valley Pipeline.
In April of 2001,the City of Fort Collins purchased certain real property from the estate of
Robert Udall to be used as the Reservoir Ridge Natural Area. The City acquired the property
along with any existing easements of record. Prior to the City obtaining title to the property,
Robert Udall had granted an easement to Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District
(NCWCD)for the Pleasant Valley Pipeline,which is used by Fort Collins Utilities to convey
water. In March of 2005,NCWCD determined that the legal description used for the original
easement was incorrect (it referenced an incorrect Range), making the original easement
defective. Because the City is the current owner of record the City has been asked to approve
a Deed of Easement correcting the legal description error. Once approved, NCWCD will
record the document and provide a copy for City records.
Ordinance No. 063, 2005, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 7, 2005.
11. Second Reading of Ordinance No 064 2005 Authorizing the Dedication of a Parcel of Land
and a Permanent Public Transportation Easement to the City of Loveland on Jointly Owned
City and City of Loveland Property at the Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Aimort.
The City of Loveland is seeking to construct a roundabout at the intersection of Crossroads
Boulevard and Rocky Mountain Avenue in order to facilitate airport area development and
improvements.
Staff has determined that cooperating with Loveland in completing the planned
improvements will be of general benefit to the Airport. In addition,due to Federal Aviation
Administration ("FAA") funding for the Airport, it is anticipated that the City would be
required to pay to the FAA any compensation required from Loveland for the conveyances.
Consequently, staff is recommending that no compensation be required in this instance.
Ordinance No. 064, 2005, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 7, 2005.
12. Items Relating to the Kingdom Hall Annexation and Zoning.
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 065, 2005, Annexing Property Known as the
Kingdom Hall Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No.066,2005,Amending the Zoning Map of the City
of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the
Kingdom Hall Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado.
This is a 100% voluntary annexation and zoning of a property approximately 3.87 acres in
size. The site is 2104 Kechter Road and located at the northeast corner of South Timberline
Road and Kechter Road. Contiguity with the existing municipal boundary is gained along
the entire west boundary which abuts Timberline Road the Willow Springs subdivision. The
requested zoning is U-E,Urban Estate. This zoning complies with the Structure Plan Map.
Ordinance Nos. 065 and 066, 2005,were unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 7,
2005.
13. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 067, 2005, Accepting the Abandoned Portion of State
Highway 68 (Harmony Road) from Mile Post 0.00 to Mile Post 4.468 as part of the City's
Street System.
The Colorado Department of Transportation(CDOT)and City of Fort Collins Transportation
Services have been discussing the transfer of ownership of Harmony Road from CDOT to
the City of Fort Collins for many years. This 4.5 mile section of road is developing into an
urban arterial. CDOT made proposals for transfer of ownership of Harmony Road in the
past, but the City resisted because of the additional costs involved.
In the most recent discussions CDOT offered funds in a one-time payment to the City to fund
upgrades and offset the cost of maintenance cost over the next 20 years. CDOT and the
City's Transportation staff worked together to develop estimates for the 20 year maintenance.
CDOT will retain maintenance responsibility for the portion of Highway 68 between the west
frontage road and I-25, including the frontage road intersection. The City will accept
responsibility for the portion west of the frontage road. CDOT is offering a one-time
payment of$13,700,000 to the City to take ownership on this section of Harmony Road.
There is some urgency to this matter because part of these funds need to be committed by
CDOT within its current fiscal year(before July 31, 2005).
Ordinance No. 067, 2005, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 7, 2005.

by the proposed work. In order for NCWA to perform this audit, the City needs to grant a

to collect the telephone exchange access facility charge and wireless communications access
charge.
