SUBJECT
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 Airport.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
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.
The area of proposed dedication is .571 acres in size, and the Public Transportation Easement will
encumber an area .354 acres in size. Both dedication and easement are generally located at the
southeast corner of Section 33,Township 6 North,Range 68 West,a portion of the airport property.
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.
