RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. FINANCIAL IMPACT This transaction is an even exchange of properties between the City of Fort Collins and Public Service Company. However, since the property being exchanged is part of the City utility system, the Timberline Project will compensate the Utilities Department $25,500. This compensation is based on the appraised value. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Timberline Road Street Oversizing Project requires the acquisition of 6,237 square feet of the Public Service Company ("Public Service") meter site located on Timberline Road which is surrounded by the substation site parcel that is part of the City utility system. This conveyance grants the City the necessary property interests for the ultimate design of Timberline Road. Instead of purchasing the needed property along with the improvements on site, Matt Baker, the project manager, has proposed a reconfiguration of the land owned by Public Service. The improvements will be able to stay where currently located and some fixtures will be relocated to the north of the building. Staff is proposing a land exchange between the Utilities Department and Public Service, with each conveying the other 6,237 square feet of land. Conveying this land to Public Service will provide them the land necessary to continue the operation of the site without relocating. If Public Service had relocated, the City would need to purchase its building and improvements. The exchange is a more cost effective approach because Street Oversizing will compensate Utilities for the value of vacant land only. The compensation, as set by the appraiser for this project, is $25,500, or$4 per square foot. Staff from Real Estate Services and Street Oversizing has met with all affected parties. The Utilities Department and Public Service have agreed to this exchange. February 7, 2006 -2- Item No. 23 ATTACHMENTS 1. Attachment 1 -Draft survey of the planned exchange. 2.
