AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: April 21, 2009
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Brian Pederson
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 040, 2009, Declaring Certain City-Acquired Property as Hickory
Street Right-of-Way.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City acquired a 7,673 square foot parcel of real property in 1994 for the purpose of constructing
public road and sidewalk improvements on Hickory Street. Although it was never dedicated as
public right-of-way, it has been used as such since that time. In order to clearly delineate the
boundaries of the public right-of-way for Hickory Street, staff is recommending that the property
be dedicated as public right-of-way.
BACKGROUND
The City acquired a 7,673 square foot parcel of real property in 1994 from L & W Supply
Corporation for the purpose of constructing public road and sidewalk improvements on Hickory
Street. Since the property was purchased in fee simple title,public records do not expressly indicate
the property is intended to be public right-of-way. The lack of such designation of the property as
public right-of-way could potentially raise issues about the proper procedures for granting utility
easements and other uses on the property in the future.
In order to establish a public record that the property is intended for use by the City as right-of-way
and related improvements, including without limitation, vehicular transport, bicycle access,
landscaping, utilities, and such other purposes which may now or in the future be determined
appropriate in City right-of-way,staff recommends Council formally dedicate the property as public
right-of-way.
