EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Platte River Power Authority is constructing a new transmission line in southeast Fort Collins to
support a request from the City for a new substation at Trilby Road and Portner Road. The new
transmission line, referred to as the Harmony-Portner-Boyd 230kV transmission line, will cross a
portion of the Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area. The transmission line will be constructed using
a direct drilling procedure that will not result in any surface disturbance within the permanent
easement. A temporary easement consisting of 0.493 acres will be used to stage and operate the
drilling equipment. Surface disturbance and subsequent restoration activities will occur within the
temporary easement.
September 16, 2008 -2- Item No. 18
BACKGROUND
Platte River Power Authority is constructing a new transmission line in southeast Fort Collins to
support a request from the City for a new substation at Trilby Road and Portner Road. The new
transmission line,referred to as the Harmony-Portner-Boyd 230kV transmission line,will cross the
Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area. The transmission line will be constructed using a direct
drilling procedure that will not result in any surface disturbance with the exception of the equipment
staging area.
The equipment staging area will be in the location of the temporary easement. Two drill entry
locations will be established and routes bored within the permanent easement area at a depth of
approximately 50 feet below the surface and exit the ground on adjacent property owned by the
neighboring home owners association. Two borings spaced 15 feet apart are needed to maintain the
electrical capacity of the underground cable.
Natural Resource Description
The vegetation community is dominated by weeds with some occurrence of smooth brome and
western wheat. Surface disturbance and restoration will be limited to the temporary easement area.
The applicant will restore all areas disturbed as outlined in the City of Fort Collins Natural Area and
Open Lands Easement Policy and the Natural Areas General Resource Protection and Restoration
and using a specified native seed mix.
The Resource Protection Standards (RPS) identifies several key wildlife species and habitats that
are considered for each proposed project. Included on the list are raptor nests,eagle winter roosts,
raptor winter feeding areas, den sites, and prairie dog colonies. Of these key species and habitats,
prairie dogs have been known to utilize the area of the temporary construction easement. While
burrows located within the temporary easement are no longer active, additional surveys will be
conducted prior to any construction activities.
Prior to the initiation of the project, staff will continue to monitor the site and if key species or
habitat is documented, the project will be modified as outlined in the RPS.

CITY OF FORT COLLINS
NATURAL AREAS AND OPEN LANDS
EASEMENT POLICY
Adopted by Resolution 2001—94,July 17,2001
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the policy statement is to clarify the policies and procedures of the City of
Fort Collins with respect to requests for easements or rights-of-way that affect publicly
owned Natural Areas or Open Lands that are managed by the Natural Resources
Department,Community Planning and Environmental Services. The policy does not
apply to requests for easements or rights-of-way on or across other lands owned by the
City of Fort Collins.
APPLICABILITY:
The policy applies to requests for new easements or rights-of-way for a wide variety of
purposes, including without limitation, streets, water,sewer, drainage, flood control,
electric power, and telecommunications facilities. The policy applies to projects of the
City of Fort Collins as well as those proposed by other public entities, for example
special Utility Districts, and private parties. The policy does not apply to trails,parking
lots, interpretive features or other facilities that are proposed as part of the management
of the public natural area.
GENERAL POLICY:
The natural areas and other open lands addressed by these policies were acquired by the
City of Fort Collins with dedicated funds from sales taxes that were approved by the
voters of Fort Collins or Latimer County for the specific purpose of protecting natural
areas and open lands. These lands are part of the fabric of the Fort Collins community,
and are viewed as a type of"community facility"intended to meet specific community
goals.
For natural areas,the goal is to"preserve and protect natural areas within Fort Collins
and the Community Growth Management Area to provide habitat essential to the
conservation ofplants,, animals, and their associated ecosystems and to enrich the lives
of citizens by providing opportunities for education, scientific research, nature
interpretation, art,fishing, wildlife observation, hiking and other activities. "
For other types of open lands, e.g.,agricultural areas, lands are protected to shape the
physical structure of the community: These lands `provide the community with a well-
defined edge, establish community separators, direct growth, and preserve rural
character. "
1
Requests for easements or rights-of-way that affect natural areas or open lands must be
considered within this context. Accordingly,the general policy is to avoid,to the
maximum extent feasible,granting easements or rights-of-way for activities that will
adversely affect the use of the land for meeting the community's goals for natural area
protection or community shaping. Where easements or rights-of-way are permitted by
ordinance of the City Council,the general policy is,to the maximum extent feasible to
minimize the impact on the natural area or the community by limiting the size and
visibility of the area affected,managing construction or other human activities with
respect to their timing, duration,and frequency of occurrence, and restoring affected
areas to a condition that is equal to or better than the condition at the time the easement is
granted.
Because the natural areas and other open lands owned by the City of Fort Collins occur
within an urban context, it is recognized that requests for easements and rights-of-way
will be forthcoming in order to allow for the orderly development of the community in
accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Individual requests will be evaluated
in accordance with both the general policy and with the specific policies listed in
following sections.
SPECIFIC TYPES OF FACILITIES:
Public Streets. New highways,roads,or streets will not be allowed within City-owned
natural areas or open lands,except for those specifically identified in the adopted City of
Fort Collins Master Street Plan or comparable Master Transportation Plan adopted by the
appropriate governing body in cases where the natural area or open land is located
outside of the City of Fort Collins. Widening or other street improvement projects on
existing streets within natural areas or open lands will be allowed, consistent with the
City of Fort Collins Master Street Plan or comparable adopted Master Transportation
Plan. The alignment and design of any highway,road,or street improvement will be
planned to avoid or minimize the effect on the natural area or open land.
Private Streets or Other Private Access. Requests by private parties for private streets
or access easements to cross natural areas or open lands in order to gain access to a
private parcel of land will not be considered unless crossing the natural area is the only
feasible means of providing access to a legal parcel of land.
Overhead Electric Power,Telephone,or Cable Lines. New overhead cable lines will
not be allowed within any city-owned natural area or open land. Replacement of
existing overhead cables with underground cables will generally be encouraged unless
the installation of underground lines will result in adverse impact to the natural area that
is inconsistent with these policies.
Aboveground Structures. New buildings or other structures, including without
limitation,towers,transmitters, receiving stations,tanks, substations, or billboards, will
not be allowed on city-owned natural areas or open lands.
2
Underground Utility Cables or Pipelines. Consistent with standard practice within
Fort Collins, underground utility cables(e.g.,electric,telephone,fiber optic,etc.)and
pipelines (e.g.,gas, water,sewer)will be located within the street and utility right-of-way
adjacent to the natural area or open land. In instances where the existing right-of-way
does not conform to the planned future street right-of-way as depicted on the applicable
adopted Master Transportation Plan,cable or pipeline easements will be located parallel
to the existing roadway and within the area encompassed by the future street and utility
right-of-way.
Some larger utility transmission cables or pipelines are not typically placed beneath
streets due to reliability or safety concerns. In instances where the cable or pipeline
cannot safely be placed within the road right-of-way,it will be located as close as
practicable, and parallel to the road right-of-way.
Drainage Facilities for Private Development. Drainage facilities that serve new
development(such as detention,retention,or water quality ponds)shall be located on
private land within the development and not on city-owned natural areas or open land.
Easements for conveyance facilities will be considered on a case-by-case basis when the
city-owned land is located between the private parcel and the historic receiving channel
or stream. Flow conveyance will utilize existing swales, drainages,to the maximum
extent feasible and be designed to blend into the surrounding terrain and enhance the
natural habitat features or character of the site.
Requests will not be granted for easements by private entities to construct flood control
or drainage structures on natural areas or open lands to create developable land by
removing it from the floodplain. Requests will be considered on a case by case basis for
construction of flood control measures to address existing flood hazards that threaten
public health or safety; in these cases, use of the natural area or open land must be the
only reasonable alternative to address the flood hazard and the structure or measure must
be designed to minimize the impact to the natural area.
Public Flood Control and Drainage Facilities. The City's Natural Areas, Storm
Drainage, and Water Quality programs have a strong record of collaboration in the joint
acquisition of land and in the design of projects that meet multiple community needs. To
the maximum extent feasible,planning for storm drainage,water quality and natural areas
and open land acquisitions shall continue to be coordinated so that lands needed for all of
these uses are purchased jointly. Innovative approaches shall continue to be used so that
flood control and water quality facilities are designed,constructed,and managed to
maintain or enhance natural area protection values while meeting flood control, stream
stability, and water quality needs.Easements or rights-of-way for flood control structures
or facilities will be considered on natural area or open land properties when the facility is
part of the implementation of an adopted basin-wide master plan(e.g., Canal Importation
Master Drainageway Plan,Poudre River Master Drainageway Plan).
3
ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS:
In general,rights of way and easements across City-owned natural areas and open lands
will only be approved if they are the only reasonable alternative, considering
environmental impacts, impacts to the use of the natural area by the community, financial
costs,engineering feasibility, public health and safety and other appropriate factors.
Applications for easements or rights-of-way must identify and evaluate the environmental
impact, engineering feasibility, and the cost of alternatives that do not affect the city-
owned natural area or open land. Depending on the type of proposal,alternatives will
need to consider both alternative locations for the facility as well as alternative designs.
The number of potential alternatives to be considered will depend on the location and
nature of the proposal, but must be sufficient to allow City staff,the Natural Resources
Advisory Board, and City Council to evaluate the cost and environmental impact of the
available alternatives for meeting the intent of the proposal. Applicants should expect to
provide information on the available alternatives at a level of detail to allow independent
review of the conclusions by City staff or outside consultants retained by the City to
assess the easement request.
LAND USE CONSISTENCY:
Applicants for rights of way and easements must demonstrate that any development to be
served by the proposal is consistent with the City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan.
Where the purpose of the easement is to provide utility services to areas outside the land
use jurisdiction of the City of Fort Collins,the applicant must demonstrate consistency
with the adopted Comprehensive Plan of the governing jurisdiction, and with any
applicable growth management policies of the City of Fort Collins. Applications for
easements that facilitate development or growth that is contrary to the policies of the
City of Fort Collins will not be approved.
MASTER PLAN CONSISTENCY:
As a condition of approval,the applicant must demonstrate that the requested easement or
right-of-way is consistent with the adopted utility master plan or service plan for the area
where the easement is requested. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed
project is located and designed appropriately to meet the future needs of the service area
based on the adopted land use plans and/or zoning in the area served. This requirement is
intended to encourage thorough planning,coordination among property owners,and to
avoid multiple requests for easements or premature expansion or modification of the
facility before the end of its normal service life.
COORDINATION WITH OTHER ENTITIES:
The City will generally not grant exclusive easements.As a condition of approval,the
applicant must contact other utility service providers in the project vicinity to determine
if they have current or future plans for additional facilities in the area. To the extent
feasible,the planning, design,and construction of facilities shall be coordinated among
4
utility providers to conserve easement corridors and to avoid repeated construction
activities that may affect the natural area or open land. Applicants must provide copies of
written requests for utility coordination and the responses received from other service
providers.
COMPLIANCE WITH EXISTING EASEMENTS:
Applicants must demonstrate compliance with the requirements of other easements they
possess that affect natural areas or open lands of the City of Fort Collins. Requests for
new or additional easements will not be considered if the applicant has not met the
requirements of existing easement agreements and has failed to correct the situation after
notification by the City.
RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS:
As a condition of approval of any easement or right-of-way,the City of Fort Collins will
impose appropriate measures to assure adequate resource protection for the natural area
or open land. These measures will be determined based on the characteristics of the
proposal and the affected land, but may include,without limitation: field investigations to
determine the presence of sensitive plant or animal species; siting requirements to
minimize the effect on sensitive natural resources; seasonal timing restrictions to avoid
impacts to sensitive species or areas during critical periods of the year;access restrictions
to control times and locations of access to the easement;construction management
measures to ensure that activities are restricted to designated areas,to control erosion,to
limit noise, etc.; restoration requirements to ensure the timely regrading and revegetation
of disturbed areas to a condition consistent with the future management of the area;
mitigation measures to replace resource values lost to the community as a result of the
project; and requirements to minimize the impact to the natural area of ongoing operation
and maintenance of the facility. The City Manager or his designee shall develop and
maintain a general list of resource protection standards that are applicable to natural areas
and open lands. This list may be modified from time to time based on the experience
gained in managing easements,developing knowledge about the resource values of the
City's natural areas and open lands, and improved knowledge about the appropriate
measures needed to protect the natural values of the City's properties.
COMPENSATION:
As a condition of approval of any easement or right of way,the City of Fort Collins will
require compensation for the easement and for the cost of processing and managing the
easement. Compensation for the value of the land and for damages will be based on fair
market value as determined by accepted appraisal techniques. Fees will be assessed for
other costs associated with processing the easement request and approval process,
overseeing construction activities, and managing the easement following construction.
Fees will be based on the estimated actual costs of the service provided.
5
ADVISORY BOARD AND COUNCIL REVIEW:
Granting an easement or right-of-way conveys a property right,and must be approved by
the City Council by ordinance. The Natural Resources Advisory Board will also review
the easement proposal and make a recommendation in its advisory role to the City
Council. City staff will be responsible for working with the applicant on the application
process, reviewing and evaluating the application, and making a recommendation to both
the Natural Resources Advisory Board and the City Council. If an easement is granted
by the City Council,staff will be responsible for overseeing and managing the easement
and ensuring that the conditions of the grant are met.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS AND REVIEW PROCESS:
In addition to this Policy Statement,the City Manager or his designee will establish
procedures for reviewing applications for easements and rights—of--way that affect city-
owned natural areas and open lands. These procedures shall establish the fees,necessary
steps and information requirements for the timely consideration of requests for easements
or rights-of-way. The City Manager or his designee will ensure that easement requests
are presented to City Council for decision in a timely manner.

Platte River Power Authority Underground Utility Easement—Fossil Creek
Wetlands Natural Area
• Dahl: Platte River Power Authority (PAPA)is constructing a new transmission
line in southeast Fort Collins to support a request from the City for a new
substation at Trilby Road and Portner Street. The new transmission line, referred
to as the Harmony-Portner-Boyd 230kV transmission line, will cross the Fossil
Creek Wetlands Natural Area. The transmission line will be constructed using a
direct drilling procedure that will not result in any surface disturbance within the
permanent easement, with the exception of the equipment staging area.
Prior to the initiation of the project, Natural Area staff will continue to monitor
the site and if key species or habitat is documented, the project will be modified
as outlined in the RPS.
No negative financial impact is expected from this action. The applicant will be
required to compensate the City Natural Areas Program $6,160 for the grant of
the non-exclusive easement based on current land values as determined by Real
Estate Services. In addition,the applicant will be required to compensate the City
Natural Areas Program $986 for the grant of the temporary construction
easement.
• Grooms: Where is it starting?
• Dahl: It starts at Prospect and Timberline.
• Grooms: The lines are underground?
• Dahl: All lines are overhead.
• Grooms: The line will go through the Homeowners Association?
• Dahl: We are going across the City's property and curving out toward the street
and the balance of the route is in the asphalt of the street all the way to the
substation.
• Haines: Will all the wires eventually be buried?
• Dahl: The distance from Fort Collins to Loveland to bury the wire would be
costly.
• Yurash: After all the digging is done what will remain above ground next to the
Natural Area.
Dahl, referring to the handout, pointed out that there will be two new poles and the
pole by the street will be removed. The two new poles will be the transmission poles.
• Yurash: What type of protection do you need around the cable coming out of the
ground?
• Dahl: There is a steel shield put around the bottom twenty feet from the ground
UP.
• Yurash: Is it near any trail?
• Dahl: No
• Grooms: You are going through the Natural Areas, because there isn't enough
room on the easement?
• Dahl: There is not enough room on the easement.
• Grooms: What would we do if there were houses where the Natural Areas is?
• Dahl: It is a complex issue. When trying to site these facilities to support the
community, people that own homes or properties do not want it near them.
• Grooms: I don't want it on the Natural Areas either. I'm a steward of the land and
I represent the Natural Areas.
• Dahl: In an effort to provide public services to the community there is always
going to be a conflict.
• Sears: When we own 8-10 thousand acres within the urban growth area of the
City of Fort Collins, which is about 50,000 acres, we are a huge land owner with
many parcels. Fortunately and unfortunately,these Natural Areas are amongst
areas that are still developing or re-developing, and we find ourselves in the path
of these requests.
• Haines: Who pays the 10 million?
• Dahl: All projects that we do are owned by Fort Collins, Loveland and Longmont
at this point. All of our capital projects are financed by Platte River and the
annual financial cost of the project is included in the rates that we charge the four
cities for electricity.
• Haines: What is driving this project?
• Dahl: The City of Fort Collins annexed property about a mile square southwest of
the City limits. There is no access to a substation in that part of the City, so the
City Electric staff would like to add one to the system.
Boyd motioned for the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board to recommend that City
Council approve:
1. The Conveyance of an underground utility easement consisting of 0.616 acres along
the north boundary of Fossil Creek Wetlands to Platte River Power Authority.
2. The conveyance of a temporary construction easement consisting of 0.493 acres
along the north boundary of the Fossil Creek Wetlands to Platte River Power
Authority.
Ting second. It was unanimously approved.
