AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 28
SUBJECT
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 084, 2013 Authorizing the Conveyance of Four Easements, a Temporary
Construction Easement and a Revocable Permit on City Right-of-Way and City-Owned Property to Linden Bridges LLC
for the Encompass-River District Block One Mixed Use Development.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Encompass – River District Block One Mixed Use Development is a mixed use development at 418 Linden Street
consisting of office space, residential space and a restaurant. The property is owned by Linden Bridges LLC. This
Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 4, 2013, authorizes the conveyance of several easements
that are required for this project for improvements in the right-of-way, bank stabilization and River enhancement,
drainage and landscape areas. At Council direction on First Reading, two alternatives for fees for the other proposed
easements are provided.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Due to questions and concerns raised by Council at the June 4 meeting regarding the easements for the work along
the Poudre River, additional information is being provided.
The current condition of the City-owned property does not meet City’s vision for the Poudre River. The River bank is
nearly vertical with a slope of 2:1; the landscaping is all non-native and is in poor condition. In addition there is quite
a bit of old concrete lining the banks. In this condition, the City’s property is not providing a high value habitat.
Attachment 2 is a photo showing the existing conditions.
The improvements planned by the Developer and approved by the City will provide many benefits to the City. The
proposed bank is laid back, with proposed slopes that range from a 2:1 to a 4:1 ratio, which is superior to the current
near vertical slope. All the dumped concrete will be removed. All the non-native vegetation will be replaced with native
landscaping. Planning staff diligently worked with the Developer to ensure that the landscaping along the river bank
and in the buffer area will provide a continuous shrub and tree cover with a sense of enclosure for pedestrians traveling
along the proposed pathway. In the finished state, this area will exceed the vision of the City, as established by the
Poudre River Enhancement Plan, which is an addendum to the Poudre Master Drainage Plan. Details of these
improvements are provided in Attachment 3.
Along with constructing these new improvements, the Developer will be permanently responsible for all maintenance,
with the exception of the scour maintenance of the Linden Street Bridge.
Compensation for Easements
Staff recommends that the Developer pay $13,449 for the encroachment easements, or the approved policy amount,
whichever is less. This amount is not due until the policy is adopted or December 31, 2013.
At Council direction, two alternatives for fees for the other proposed easements are provided.
• Alternative A
Since the value of the enhanced improvements being provided by the Developer exceed the monetary value of the
easements, the easement of $17,675 is waived.
• Alternative B
The Developer will pay the City the total value of the other Easements on City-owned Property, which is $17,675.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 28
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 084, 2013 Authorizing the Conveyance of Four Easements, a Temporary Construction
Easement and a Revocable Permit on City Right-of-Way and City-Owned Property to Linden Bridges LLC for the
Encompass-River District Block One Mixed Use Development.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Encompass – River District Block One Mixed Use Development (“Encompass”) is a mixed use development at 418
Linden Street consisting of office space, residential space and a restaurant. The property is owned by Linden Bridges
LLC (“LB LLC”). Several easements are required for this project. These easement interests are needed for
improvements in the right-of-way, bank stabilization and river enhancement, drainage and landscape areas.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Encompass is a mixed use development at 418 Linden consisting of one building with two floors of office space, two
floors of apartments (12 units) and a restaurant. The first floor of this building has a walk-way to the rear of the lot.
The O’Neil family is developing the property. Their software company, Encompass Technologies will occupy the
second floor. The property is held in the name of Linden Bridges LLC.
Encompass looked at plans to relocate to a larger space and instead chose to develop a new office as part of a mixed-
use development as a long-term investment in downtown Fort Collins. The site at 418 Linden provides a great
opportunity for Encompass to create a vibrant mixed-use development that connects downtown Fort Collins to the
Cache la Poudre River.
This project embodies the character and vision of the City Plan, the Downtown Strategic Plan, the 2001 Poudre River
Master Plan, and the R-D-R zone district for high quality redevelopment in downtown with river interface that is
envisioned for the Downtown River Redevelopment District.
Easements Requested by Encompass:
The properties affected by these requests include the property between the development site and the Poudre River.
The City owns the top of the bank, which was acquired 30 years ago for a recreational trail, the river bank and the land
under the river. In the end, the trail was constructed on the other side of the River and the City will not utilize this site
as a trail in the future. The City property has not been maintained for years. All easement requests are shown on the
Easement Exhibit, Attachment 2.
Permanent Non-Exclusive Encroachment Easement (shown in green on Easement Exhibit):
This easement would be made up of several easement areas located in the right of way. Since permanent
improvements are being constructed in the right-of-way, it is appropriate to grant a permanent easement instead of
a revocable permit. Encompass will have a permanent right to use these improvements in perpetuity. The City cannot
cancel or terminate this easement; only Encompass could request to have this easement vacated. If the City
determined it needed the land under the improvements, it would need to enter into negotiations with the owner to
purchase this easement interest. In the Easement Agreement, Encompass will be required to carry property and
liability insurance and will need to have the City added as additional insured.
There is a significant change in grade along Linden Street. This creates the need for an upper and lower sidewalk
similar to properties downtown. Thus some of the permanent features requiring easements are a ramp, stairs and a
planter box. In addition, Encompass has requested an outdoor deck along Linden Street for the restaurant. The
restaurant will also have two decks on their property with a river view. Having the deck along Linden Street is a key
urban design element.

June 4, 2013 -2- ITEM 28
Permanent Non-Exclusive Construction, Access, and Maintenance Easement (shown in yellow on Easement
Exhibit):
This easement abuts the development site and includes a strip of land from the top of the river bank, to the water’s
edge. The river bank needs to be stabilized and this project plans include reconstruction approximately 160 feet of
the river bank to meet the design criteria for a 100 year flood event. Included with the bank stabilization are two
decorative retaining walls.
Additional improvements are being completed by Encompass along the bank as per the City’s Poudre River
Enhancement Plan. This work is a benefit to both the development and the City by providing additional stabilization
of the banks and improved scour protection for the Linden Street bridge. Encompass will complete all the construction.
When the work is complete and approved by Stormwater Utilities, the City will repay Encompass for river enhancement
work that benefits the City from a combination of Stormwater Funds and Bridge Engineering Funds.
As per the Land Use Code, the project is required to provide a continuous buffer and a walking path along the top of
the bank. It is planned to build the buffer and path on the development site and the City-owned property. The
easement grants Encompass access for the path and its users.
Encompass will maintain all improvements located in this easement area, with the exception of the bridge
protection. After acceptance of the work by the City, the City will maintain the bridge protection. The City will not
perform maintenance on the trail in the easement area. The City’s public trail is on the other side of the River.
Permanent Non-Exclusive Drainage Easement (shown in yellow and outlined in red on Easement Exhibit);
Encompass is requesting a permanent 20-foot wide drainage easement to carry their development flows, as well
as the flows from the property to the south, from their water quality pond, in an eighteen-inch pipe under the City’s
property to the Poudre River. This easement location is in part of the Permanent Construction, Access and
Maintenance Easement, but we requested a separate legal description for this use.
Temporary Construction Easement (shown on Temporary Easement Exhibit):
The above easement gives Encompass the right to do their bank stabilization work; however, they need to be able
to access the bank from the Poudre River. In order to complete work in the River, a Floodplain Use Permit is
required. Encompass has met with the Floodplain Administrator on site and an access area has been identified.
The preferred access point goes through the Encompass site and goes through a break in trees on the City
property to access the River. This area is shown on the Temporary Easement Exhibit, Attachment 3. There will
be very minimal disturbance in the river bed. The banks will only be disturbed in the areas of the Construction,
Access and Maintenance Easement. All disturbed areas along construction access from top of bank to the River
shall be revegetated per approved landscape plans.
The area of the Temporary Construction Easement extends upriver under the bridge and adjacent to the Northside
Aztlan Community Center site. Encompass will construct a temporary upstream and downstream coffer dam and
pump in the Temporary Construction Easement area. Downstream there is an area where the river is separated
by a stretch of land. The temporary coffer dam will divert the River to the eastern side of the land and they will
also install a pump in low point discharge on other side of island.
The duration of the requested Temporary Construction Easement will start when our Easement Agreement is
signed and will continue to December 31, 2014. The work is planned to be in intervals and this is not a
consecutive time period. While the Temporary Construction Easement does give them permission to enter our
property, they will also need a current Floodplain Use Permit to access the Temporary Construction Easement
area. At the meeting held in May with Stormwater staff, it was determined that work in the River cannot
commence until the end of September of 2013 due to the high river conditions this year.
Permanent Non-Exclusive Landscape Easement (shown in orange on the Easement Exhibit):
Encompass has requested a Non-Exclusive Permanent Landscape Easement to landscape a 2,206 square-foot
area adjacent to their property to improve the view for their project. The strip of land is southeast of the
Construction, Access, and Maintenance Easement area and goes to the current top of bank. This area is currently
not maintained and does not contain much vegetation. Encompass submitted a landscape plan during the
approval process of the development. This landscape plan was approved and determined to meet the criteria of
the Land Use Code 4.17 – River Landscape Buffers.

June 4, 2013 -3- ITEM 28
Revocable Permit (shown in purple on the Easement Exhibit):
Encompass has requested the right to come into the large purple shaded area on the Easement Exhibit to trim the
existing trees. The trees are not well maintained and contain numerous dead branches. Encompass wants to trim
these trees to improve the view of the river to users of the development. The requested Revocable Permit is for
twenty (20) years unless revoked sooner, and will allow trimming of trees, but not tree removal.
Along with the Revocable Permit, Encompass must meet with the Forestry Department to agree on which trees
can be trimmed. Once Encompass gets the official permission from Forestry, the tree company doing the trimming
will need to obtain a permit from Forestry to do the actual trimming. In addition, since this is in a floodplain,
Encompass will be required to obtain a Floodplain Use Permit for each time they do any trimming activities.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
Encroachment Easements. These easements are located in the right of way. Currently the City does not have an
adequate policy in place on how to process or value permanent easements in the public right of way.
Encroachment Permits are charged $10/year and permanent easements on City-owned properties are
compensated at fair market value. Staff will be bringing an Ordinance to Council in the next few months with a
recommendation on how to process and value easements in the right of way. Until a policy is established,
compensation will be based on fair market value.
Staff has set a value for the encroachment easements requested. Values on Linden Street have increased
dramatically over the last two years. The price per square foot assigned for these easements is an average of the
last two properties sold. That value is $19.50 per square foot.
The encroachment easements for the stairs with handrails and the ramp will typically be used not only for
occupants or customers of Encompass, but could also be used by the general public. For this reason, the
easement percentage of value is 50% and the easement value for these areas is $5,099.00.
The easement percentage of value for the encroachment easement for the outdoor patio deck is 75%. That is
because the general public will not have any use in this area unless they are customers of the restaurant. The
easement value for the patio deck is $8,350.00, or $13,449.00 for both areas. Developer will be charged
$13,449.00 for the Encroachment Easement; however, if the City Council, on or before December 31, 2013,
adopts a policy for granting of easements in the City’s rights of way, including charges therefor, Encompass will
instead pay compensation for the Encroachment Easement based on the requirements of such policy, but not to
exceed $13,449.00. Compensation for the Encroachment Easement is not due until the new policy is adopted or
December 31, 2013.
Other Easements: The City’s practice is to charge for easements on estimated market value. Market values for
properties are estimated on a wide range of criteria including, the zoning, topography, physical constraints and
overall use of the property. After considering the above criteria and consulting with area appraisers, staff set the
market value for the City parcels at $5,000 per acre. It is difficult to set a value for properties within floodplains
because there are not many comparable sales. These properties are usually purchased by government entities for
preservation. The appraisers compared these properties to highly restricted conservation easement properties.
The values recommended by the appraisers range from $3,500 to $5,000/acre. The exception is in the
Construction, Access and Maintenance Easement. Approximately half of its area is in the FEMA Moderate Risk
Floodplain. Generally there is not a deduction for the developable value because it is relatively inexpensive to
cure. This small area would not be developable on its own; however, since this area is being used to enhance the
development of the adjacent property, the value of this area would be about 50% of developable market value, or
$10 per square foot.
Using this data, staff has determined a value of $17,675.00 for the Construction, Access, Maintenance Easement
and the Drainage Easement, the Landscape Easement, the Temporary Construction Easement, and the
Revocable Permit. It is staff’s recommendation that we do not charge Encompass for these easements because
the enhanced riverbank improvements, landscaping improvements and tree trimming provide benefits to the City
that exceed the value of the easements.

WHEREAS, the Developer has proposed a mixed-use development to be constructed on the
Developer’s Property, which would consist of one building with two floors of office space, two
floors of apartments, and a restaurant (the “Development”); and
WHEREAS, to facilitate the Development, the Developer has requested four permanent, non-
exclusive easements on the City Property, as follows:
• an encroachment easement in the City Right-of-Way for a ramp, stairs, a
planter box, a deck, and upstairs balconies as described on Exhibit “B”,
attached and incorporated herein by reference (the “Encroachment
Easement”);
• a construction, access and maintenance easement on the River Parcel as
