Lindsay Kuntz FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL First Reading of Ordinance No. 021,2010,Authorizing the Conveyance of Three Non-Exclusive Utility Easements on City Property to Qwest Corporation. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1995 and 2004,the City of Fort Collins conveyed various easements on City property known as Avery Park to Qwest Corporation("Qwest")for installation of utility improvements. Qwest recently discovered the utility improvements were erroneously installed outside the granted easement area. Qwest is requesting the City convey new easements to reflect the actual location of the installed equipment. Qwest has also expressed interest in acquiring anew easement along the boundary of the City's property for additional utility improvements already installed by Qwest. In exchange, Qwest will terminate the existing easements. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Easements granted to Qwest in 1995 included a 100 square-foot pocket easement and a five-foot wide linear easement on Avery Park near Taft Hill Road and Clearview Avenue. A subsequent easement granted to Qwest in 2004 included another86 square-foot pocket easement to install DSL equipment at this same location. Qwest recently discovered the utility improvements were subsequently installed outside the encumbered easement areas. To correct the error,Qwest is requesting the City convey new easements based on the actual location of the utility improvements. In addition to this request, Qwest also wishes to acquire a new ten-foot wide linear easement running parallel to the City's property boundary for additional utility improvements. As part of a new easement deed and agreement,the City and Qwest would agree to terminate the old easements. FINANCIAL IMPACT Qwest has agreed to pay the City of Fort Collins $1,000 to process this request. This includes the cost of the easement conveyance and termination, processing, and administration fees. SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS Conveyance of the new easement areas is a continuing effort to provide the citizens of Fort Collins with quality utility services. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. ATTACHMENTS 1. Location Sketch 2.
