EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City is the owner of the property described as Block 33 in downtown Fort Collins. In July
2005, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 077, 2005 authorizing the sale of portions of
Block 33 to Penny Flats, LLC ("Developer") as part of a plan to redevelop the block. The
Developer plans to purchase the Block 33 property in three tracts: Tract A - Lot 1-4; Tract B -
Lots 5-8, and Tract C - lots 13-16. The Developer anticipates closing on Tract A by August
2006.
The residence at 304 North Howes is located in Tract C, which is expected to be the last parcel
purchased, and has been rented out by the City for the last five years.
The new lease term will be for one year, with the City having the option to renew for an
additional term of one year, or until the Developer purchases the lot containing the residence,
whichever comes first.
