Consent Calendar
The Consent Calendar is intended to allow the City Council to spend its time and energy on the
important items on a lengthy agenda. Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Anyone
may request an item on this calendar to be "pulled" off the Consent Calendar and considered
separately. Agenda items pulled from the Consent Calendar will be considered separately under
Pulled Consent Items. The Consent Calendar consists of:
● Ordinances on First Reading that are routine;
● Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine;
● Those of no perceived controversy;
● Routine administrative actions.
1. Consideration and Approval of the Minutes of the April 1 and April 15, 2014 Regular Council
Meetings and the April 22, 2014 Adjourned Meeting.
The purpose of this item is to approve the minutes from the April 1 and 15, 2014 Regular Council
Meetings and the April 22, 2014 Adjourned Meeting.
2. Items Relating to the Kechter Farm Annexation and Zoning.
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 005, 2014, Annexing Property Known as the Kechter Farm
Annexation to the City of Fort Collins.
City of Fort Collins Page 3
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 006, 2014, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort
Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Kechter Farm
Annexation to the City of Fort Collins.
These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 7, 2014, annex and zone
88.21 acres located north of Fossil Creek Reservoir, approximately 1,320 feet south of Kechter
Road, 2,640 feet east of South Timberline Road, just west of Ziegler Road, and southwest of Kinard
Middle School. The property is located within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. In accordance
with the Intergovernmental Agreement with Larimer County, adopted in 1999, properties within the
Fossil Creek Reservoir Area receive their land use approvals in the County and are annexed into the
City prior to construction.
3. Second Reading Ordinance No. 053, 2014, Vacating a Portion of Plum Street Right-of-Way as
Dedicated on the Dechairo Subdivision Plat.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 1, 2014, vacates a portion of Plum
Street right-of-way that is no longer necessary or desirable to retain for public street purposes. The
property owner adjacent to this portion of right-of-way is requesting the vacation. This location is the
future site of the Scott Plaza development project, which was approved at the Planning and Zoning
Board Public Hearing on January 9, 2014.
4. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 060, 2014, Amending the Definition of "Publicly" Contained in
Section 12-141 of the City Code Pertaining to the Cultivation of Marijuana.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 15, 2014, amends the definition of
"publicly" in Section 12-141 of the City Code as it relates to the cultivation of marijuana so as to
conform the definition to that which appears in Section 17-190 relating to offenses involving
marijuana. This will correct a mistake in the drafting of Ordinance Nos. 038 and 039, 2014, adopted
by Council on Second Reading on March 18, 2014.
5. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 061, 2014, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Deed Conveying
12,391 Square Feet of City-Owned Property to Dillon Companies, Inc.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 15, 2014, authorizes the
conveyance of a portion of a 1-acre tract of property that was originally acquired from BNSF Railway
Company for MAX Bus Rapid Transit (“MAX”) project purposes to Dillon Companies, Inc. The
property is no longer needed by the Project or the City as a result of an alternative design that has
been developed.
6. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 062, 2014, Vacating a Portion of Street Right-of-Way Dedicated
to the City in 1974 as Part of the Kmart Development.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 15, 2014, vacates a portion of
dedicated street right-of-way that has not been constructed as a street and is no longer needed for
public street purposes. The location of this street right of way is located at the rear of the building at
2505 South College Avenue and east of the railroad tracks. The property owners of 2505 South
College Avenue have requested this vacation.
7. First Reading of Ordinance No. 064, 2014, Authorizing the Transfer of $2,000 000 in Existing
Capital Appropriations from the Northwest Trunk Sewer Expansion Wastewater Capital Project to a
New Capital Project for the Construction of a Sewer Interceptor on North Shields Street.
The purpose of this item is to transfer funds previously appropriated for a northwest trunk sewer
extension to be used for the construction of a similar project on North Shields Street. The proposed
project will serve a similar purpose of environmental stewardship by removing a significant number of
properties from individual septic systems and leach fields.
City of Fort Collins Page 4
Larimer County is currently planning on the reconstruction of Shields Street north of the Poudre
River in 2015 to coincide with the bridge replacement project. Staff has met with the County
Engineering department and will be able to coordinate the two projects to minimize the length of time
the area would be impacted by construction, if the two projects were to be done independently.
8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 065, 2014, Amending Chapter 15, Article XIV of the City Code
Regarding Outdoor Vendors.
The purpose of this item is to amend Chapter 15 of the City Code regarding Outdoor Vendors with
two minor amendments to further support the outdoor vending community. In July 2012, City Council
adopted new outdoor vendor regulations based on a comprehensive study completed by staff. Since
the inception of the new regulations, staff has been monitoring the activity and working with the
mobile vending community to address opportunities for improvement to the Code. Staff is
recommending two updates to address the opportunities.
9. First Reading of Ordinance No. 066, 2014, Amending Chapter 2, Article II, Division 3 of the City
Code Pertaining to Appeals Procedure.
The purpose of this item is to further clarify and incorporate process improvements relating to the
procedure for the hearing of appeals by City Council. Staff contacted attorneys who expressed
concerns about the current process and provided them with copies of the proposed changes. No
suggested changes were received. Staff also met with the Board of Realtors legislative committee to
review the proposed changes. Comments from the committee were focused more on the ease in
which an appeal can be filed rather than the specific changes proposed in this Ordinance.
10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 067, 2014, Making Certain Amendments to Chapter 26 of the City
Code Pertaining to Electric Rates, Fees and Charges Associated with the Provision of Net-Metered
Service.
The purpose of this item is to allow for certain operational efficiencies to be realized by Utilities for
the residential net-metering program without negatively impacting the financial benefits of the
program for participants. The current accounting process for net-metering customers is manually-
intensive. With the deployment of the advanced metering infrastructure for all residential customers,
it is now possible to provide these customers with monthly information on their energy production
and to implement an automated monthly settlement process rather than the current annually settled
process. In order to ensure that no additional financial burden is placed on existing net-metering
customers, it is necessary to make the current implicit credit for distribution facilities charges explicit
in the City Code through the current rate Ordinance being presented.
11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 068, 2014, Clarifying Ordinance No. 028, 2014, Relating to
Wastewater Rates.
The purpose of this item is to clarify the City Council’s intent in adopting Ordinance No. 028, 2014, in
order to ensure there is no confusion regarding the correct wastewater rates for 2014. Ordinance
No. 150, 2013 established new wastewater rates for all customers to be effective January 1, 2014.
These rates were implemented as intended for all bills on or after January 1, 2014. Ordinance No.
028 added language to certain sections of the City Code regarding how wastewater rates are
charged during construction of multi-family residential developments. Because there is potential for
confusion and misrepresentation of the City Council’s intent from the way Ordinance No. 028, 2014,
as finally published, represented Section 26-280 of the City Code, this Ordinance is intended to
clarify the City Council’s intent and ensure correct codification of the 2014 wastewater rates.
12. Items Related to Common Private Service Lines for Water and Wastewater Service.
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 069, 2014, Amending Article III of Chapter 26 of the City Code to
Allow Common Private Service Lines for Water Service in Certain Circumstances.
City of Fort Collins Page 5
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 070, 2014, Amending Article IV of Chapter 26 of the City Code to
Allow Common Private Service Lines for Wastewater Service in Certain Circumstances.
The purpose of this item is to amend Chapter 26 of the City Code to revise the requirements for how
separate water and sewer services are provided to individual properties.
The City Code currently requires each individual single family dwelling to connect directly to a City
water or sewer main. Current high density development practices can create situations of multiple
long service lines underground congesting the provided easements through the entire green space
of a property and impacting the ability to plant trees or install other surface features. Ordinance No.
069, 2014, would allow for a “Common Private Water Service Line” that is owned and maintained by
a homeowner’s association, or other legal entity, and serve up to 6 individual properties. Ordinance
No. 070, 2014, would allow for a “Common Private Wastewater Service Line” that is owned and
maintained by a homeowner’s association, or other legal entity, and serve up to 6 individual
properties.
13. First Reading of Ordinance No. 071, 2014, Vacating Portions of Ziegler Road as Dedicated in Book
R at Page 118 of the Larimer County Records.
The purpose of this item is to vacate the portions of Ziegler Road right-of-way that are no longer
necessary or desirable to retain for public street purposes. The portions to be vacated are those
portions that were dedicated in 1882 and not rededicated with the Fossil Lake PUD First Filing plat
and are portions of right-of-way that are not needed for the existing street system.
14. First Reading of Ordinance No. 072, 2014 Vacating Right-of-Way as Dedicated on the Final Plats of
Waterfield P.U.D. First Filing and Waterfield P.U.D. Second Filing.
The purpose of this item is to vacate portions of right-of-way within Waterfield PUD First and Second
Filings that are no longer necessary or desirable to retain for street purposes. These locations are
being replatted as Waterfield Third Filing and proposing new rights-of-way to be dedicated, which
was approved through an Administrative Hearing on February 11, 2014.

3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 043, 2014, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue
in the General Fund and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriated Amounts Between
Accounts and Projects for the Multi-Jurisdictional Northern Colorado Drug Task Force.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 18, 2014, appropriates
federal grant monies received from the Office of National Drug Control Policy ($95,853)
and the Department of Justice ($57,722) to fund a portion of the investigation of illegal
narcotics activities in Larimer County by the Northern Colorado Drug Task Force. These
grant awards will be used to offset operating expenses for each participating agency.
In addition, because of the significant decrease in federal funds available for drug
enforcement, the Northern Colorado Drug Task Force is transferring $236,160 from its
forfeiture reserve account to its 2014 operating budget to cover unfunded expenses. The
majority of the forfeiture reserve account is made up of assets seized from people engaged in
illegal drug activities.
4. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2014, Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to Enter
into an Agreement for the Financing by Lease-Purchase of Vehicles and Equipment and
Appropriating the Amount Needed for Such Purchases.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 18, 2014, authorizes the
lease-purchase of vehicles and equipment for the cost of $2,941,469. Payments at the 2.4%
interest rate will not exceed $313,029.11 in 2014. Money for 2014 lease-purchase payments
is included in the 2014 budget. The effect of the debt position on the City’s financial rating
will be to raise the total City debt to 2.38%. A competitive process was used to select
Pinnacle Public Finance for this lease. A 2014 Finance Department analysis of current and
historical equipment lease financing arrangements showed that lease-purchase is in the best
interest of the City given the normal spread between lease rate and reinvestment rate.
5. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 046, 2014, Adding a New Section to the City Code
Dealing with the Selection of Special Counsel for the City and Establishing a Procedure for

7. First Reading of Ordinance No. 050, 2014, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the
General Fund for Waste Reduction and Diversion Projects to be Approved Through the
Waste Innovation Program.
The purpose of this item is to shift $18,794 accumulated during 2013 in the Waste
Innovation Fund account into the City’s General Fund account for approved projects to
develop new organizational processes to enable departments to divert more waste material
from landfill disposal.
8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 051, 2014, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves for Lapsed
Expenditures Authorized in 2013.
City Council authorized expenditures in 2013 for various purposes. Not all of the authorized
expenditures were spent or could be encumbered in 2013 because:
• there was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 2013 and therefore, there was no
known vendor or binding contract as required to expend or encumber some of the monies
• the project for which the dollars were originally appropriated by Council could not be
completed during 2013 and re-appropriation of those dollars is necessary for completion
of the project in 2014
• to carry on programs, services, and facility improvements in 2014 with unspent dollars
previously appropriated in 2013.
In the above circumstances, the unexpended and/or unencumbered monies lapsed into
individual fund balances at the end of 2013 and reflect no change in Council policies.
Monies re-appropriated for each City fund by this Ordinance are as follows:
General Fund $ 898,805
Data & Communications Fund $ 300,000
Keep Fort Collins Great Fund $ 440,912
Light & Power Fund $ 230,183

11. Resolution 2014-028 Directing the City Manager to Convene an Ad Hoc Advisory
Committee to Develop a Climate Action Plan for Achieving a Community-wide Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Reduction Goal of 80% with Respect to 2005 Levels by 2030.
The purpose of this item is to seek City Council clarification that the upcoming Climate
Action Plan update should strive for the goal to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas
emissions 80% with respect to 2005 levels by 2030; that it should describe steps the
community could take to meet that goal, and further describe steps the community could
take to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050; and to authorize the City Manager to appoint an
ad hoc advisory committee to oversee development of the plan.
In 2008, City Council adopted goals to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions 20%
below 2005 by 2020, and 80% by 2050. Economic opportunities and technological
advancements have emerged since 2008 that present new opportunities for Fort Collins
reduce emissions more rapidly while increasing reinvestment back into the community,
reducing environmental impacts, and ultimately saving money for the community. Recent
input suggests community interest in more aggressive goals and supporting information
about benefits and costs. This action sets the stage for the 2014 climate action planning
process by clarifying end point goals for 2030 and 2050, and defining a role for an ad hoc
advisory committee, with the goal to bring a draft plan back for City Council consideration
by the end of 2014.
12. Routine Deed.
The purpose of this item is to accept the dedication of right-of-way on Timberline from
Poudre School District. The City of Fort Collins is planning a road project to improve the

“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to vacate Scott Avenue right-of-way that is no longer necessary or

Plaza development project, which was approved at the Planning and Zoning Board Public
Hearing on January 9, 2014.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 1962, a 25-foot wide strip of land south of Plum Street between Shields Street and City Park
Avenue was dedicated to the City (Book 1174, Page 543), by the adjacent property owner (1201
Plum Street) at no expense to the City, for street right-of-way purposes. The owner of the
properties at 813 Scott Avenue, 1201 West Plum Street and 1205 West Plum Street has requested
that the City vacate this 25 foot by 335 foot strip of land that is adjacent to the properties. The
applicant has requested this vacation because they wish to redevelop their property that is
adjacent to Scott Avenue. Scott Avenue is not paved and only provides access to the existing
residential units at 813 Scott Avenue and 1201 Plum Street. The existing residential units on 813
Scott Avenue and 1201 Plum Street will be removed as part of the Scott Plaza development
proposal. With the vacation of right-of-way, easements for access, emergency access, drainage
and utilities would be retained, preserving rights to utilize the vacated portion for these
purposes.
The Campus West Planning Study Report (December 2001) identifies that a pedestrian or
vehicular connection should be provided at this location that, in the future, should extend to
Elizabeth Street. Through the development review process it has been determined that a
pedestrian connection will provide the desired connectivity that is outlined in the study and will
be accommodated by the Scott Plaza development plan and retention of the area as an access
easement. At such time that the property to the south redevelops (1220 West Elizabeth Street)
the pedestrian connection that is being provided with the Scott Plaza project will be continued
south to Elizabeth Street.
A memorandum requesting input about the vacation of Scott Avenue was sent to the utility
providers, potentially impacted City departments and adjacent property owners. The
neighboring property owner at 1113 West Plum Street has expressed opposition to the Scott
Avenue right-of-way vacation request. The original right-of-way dedication documents from
1962 have been reviewed and the City believes that the land will return to the property owner
that is requesting the vacation.
Vacations of public right-of-way are governed by City Code Section 23-115, which provides for
an application and review process prior to submission to the City Council for formal
consideration. The process includes review by potentially affected utility agencies, City staff,
emergency service providers, and affected property owners in the vicinity of the right-of-way
proposed to be vacated. This review process was followed in conjunction with review of the
Scott Plaza Project Development Plan, and based on comments received; the Planning
Development and Transportation Director recommends that the vacation be approved.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
There are no financial impacts to the vacation of this portion right-of-way.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
There are no environmental impacts to the vacation of this portion of right of way.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
A memorandum requesting input was sent to the utility providers, potentially impacted City
departments and adjacent property owners and feedback was received.”
Tyler Sigmund, Civil Engineer, stated staff members are available to answer questions.
Carl Wangsvick, Fort Collins resident, opposed the construction of large student housing
complexes with insufficient parking, particularly in the Campus West area. He cited safety
concerns and parking issues for residents.
Fred Kirsch, Fort Collins resident, asked if there is any type of outreach to CSU students
discouraging them from bringing cars to campus.
Councilmember Troxell requested staff describe the right-of-way vacation and its relation to
Item No. 10, First Reading of Ordinance No. 053, 2014, Vacating a Portion of Plum Street
Right-of-Way as Dedicated on the Dechairo Subdivision Plat. Sigmund replied the two items are
related as the property owner requesting the vacations has submitted a project development plan
for both properties. The vacation on Plum Street will clean up some additional right-of-way that
was dedicated along Plum Street that is no longer needed. The request to vacate Scott Avenue is
a full vacation of Scott Avenue, which is currently a dirt 25-foot right-of-way. The proposal is to
make Scott Avenue an enhanced pedestrian corridor; therefore, it will remain as a public access
easement.
Councilmember Troxell asked about a Campus West plan and drawings provided to Council.
Sigmund replied the plan was completed in 2001, but was never adopted by Council. The
signage drawing referenced by Councilmember Troxell is part of the development proposal, not
part of the plan. Clark Mapes, Planning Department, discussed the planning study completed in
2001 and stated it was never adopted as property owners in the Campus West area were not
supportive of an initiative by the City.
Councilmember Troxell asked about the development of a Campus West plan along with the
development of The District. Mapes replied The District fits within the referenced 2001 study;
however, there is no adopted plan for Campus West.
Councilmember Troxell asked if the vacation and proposed development are in the best interest
of the community. Mapes replied in the affirmative and stated staff has found this pedestrian
corridor to be an acceptable way to get the needed connection between housing on Plum Street
and the services on Elizabeth Street.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Campana, to adopt
Ordinance No. 052, 2014, on First Reading.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if Second Reading of this Ordinance could be delayed in order to
allow additional neighborhood outreach regarding the right-of-way vacation. Sigmund replied
notices were sent to affected adjacent property owners and feedback was received from the
property owner to the east opposing the vacation.

Councilmember Cunniff asked if Second Reading could be delayed an additional two weeks.
Sigmund replied the developer is waiting to proceed with the Project Development Plan;
however, Council has the authority to make that change.
Councilmember Cunniff made a motion to amend, seconded by Councilmember Overbeck, to
delay Second Reading of the Ordinance by two weeks.
Councilmember Campana noted citizens will have the opportunity to provide input at Second
Reading and stated neighborhood meetings do not occur for right-of-way vacations.
Councilmember Troxell stated he would not support the amendment but encouraged any
requested information be provided prior to Second Reading.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak stated citizen concerns were surrounding parking rather than the vacation.
The vote on the motion to amend was as follows: Yeas: Overbeck, Poppaw and Cunniff. Nays:
Horak, Weitkunat, Troxell and Campana.

Resolution 2014-028
Directing the City Manager to Nominate for Council Appointment
an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee to Develop a Climate Action Plan for Achieving a
Community-wide Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Goal
of 80% with Respect to 2005 Levels by 2030, Adopted
The following is the staff memorandum for this item.
“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to seek City Council clarification that the upcoming Climate Action

2050, and defining a role for an ad hoc advisory committee, with the goal to bring a draft plan
back for City Council consideration by the end of 2014.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Fort Collins has a long and thoughtful history of community planning, including taking steps to
reduce our carbon footprint and implementing actions to improve our resiliency against a
changing climate. Community support for reducing greenhouse gas goals has been significant
since the Climate Action Plan (CAP) was first adopted in 1999 and then updated in 2008. In
2012, the community reduced greenhouse gas emissions while population rose and a key
measure of economic growth - sales and use tax revenue - increased.
The Climate Action Plan and corresponding Energy Policy continue to support several
community values and strategic outcomes including Economic Health, Community Livability,
Environmental Health, Safe Community, and Transportation. The Energy Policy sets a solid
foundation for successful, nationally recognized energy efficiency programs and increased
renewables. The ClimateWise voluntary business assistance program, born out of the original
Climate Action Plan, now assists over 300 local businesses in reducing emissions while saving
money. Energy Policy programs provided $20M annual benefits in 2012 and ClimateWise
partners saved $14 million in 2012 alone, and over $73 million since the program began in
2000.
Important community activities such as the Mason MAX corridor, economic clusters (clean
energy, water, and local food), and the new Road to Zero Waste Plan serve many community
priorities while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Air quality benefits also accrue from
actions that reduce fossil fuel emissions and resource consumption.
Need to Update Climate Action Plan
There are several reasons why Fort Collins should update its Climate Action Plan, including the
opportunity to capitalize on new technological and economic opportunities that have emerged
since 2008, and the increasing urgency to reduce our carbon footprint and become more
resilient in the face of climate disruption. Fort Collins has an opportunity to sustain and
advance its leadership position by developing and implementing an updated CAP that leverages
existing achievements and opportunities. In doing so, Fort Collins could embark on a
transformative path of reinvestment in community-based energy systems, put itself at the national
forefront of innovation, stimulate local economic health, reduce outflows of money from the
community, improve security, and reduce risk.
On February 11, 2014, the City Council held a work session to discuss alternative community
greenhouse gas goals. There was strong support for the upcoming climate action planning to
work towards a steeper rate of greenhouse gas reduction, with a special emphasis on
accomplishing reduction now and in the near-term, through upcoming budget cycles. The
importance of partnerships was emphasized, especially with Platte River Power Authority and its
owner cities, as well as with university and academic institutions, and the private sector.
Attachment 3 summarizes that discussion.
Overall, two primary themes have emerged from recent public outreach on community
greenhouse gas goals. There is interest in more aggressive community GHG goals, and there is
Packet Pg. 24
Attachment1.1: April 1, 2014 (Minutes - 4/1, 4/15 and 4/122)
April 1, 2014
138
interest in seeing more details about the anticipated benefits and costs of meeting these goals.
The upcoming Climate Action Plan process is intended to address both of these themes by
developing a draft plan to meet more aggressive goals and assessing the associated costs and
benefits, and gathering public input throughout this process.
CAP Update Planning Goals
The proposed resolution requests that the Climate Action Plan be updated to describe steps the
community could take to accelerate our goal to achieve community-wide greenhouse gas
emissions reduction of 80% below 2005 levels by 2030. That end point represents the result of
an analysis prepared by the Rocky Mountain Institute to evaluate how fast Fort Collins could
achieve an 80% reduction below 2005. Their report
(<http://www.rmi.org/PDF_fort_collins_energy_climate_goals>) investigates opportunities in
three sectors: buildings, electricity supply, and transportation. The report draws on best
practices, technology trends, and plausibly achievable goals for customer adoption. The
analysis is based on existing technologies and proven adoption rates, but assumes maximum
proven adoption rates in all sectors, sustained over time.
The report suggests that Fort Collins can achieve 80% reduction below 2005 by 2030 while:
Reducing building energy use 31% through efficiency,
Achieving carbon neutral electricity by 2030,
Reducing transportation emissions by 48%,
Achieving $165 million net present value savings by 2030, and
Achieving $1.8 billion net present value savings by 2050.
The RMI report provides a good starting point for an update to the Climate Action Plan.
Additionally, community stakeholders have expressed interest in seeing Fort Collins aspire to a
vision of becoming carbon neutral. (See Attachment 1 describing Council advisory board
recommendations.) The 2009 Fort Collins Energy Policy also describes a 2050 vision for
becoming carbon neutral:
To ensure for the Fort Collins community a highly reliable, competitive, carbon
neutral electricity supply, managed in a sustainable, innovative, responsible
and efficient manner.
To that end, the CAP update will include a list of steps the community could take to achieve
carbon neutrality (a 100% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions) by 2050. The list of
additional strategies to get from 2030 to 2050 will not undergo a comprehensive quantitative
analysis but will identity opportunities that the community should be planning for to achieve
carbon neutrality.
Community Involvement in CAP Update
Community support will be essential to achieve future community greenhouse gas goals. Staff
proposes to convene an ad hoc advisory committee of stakeholders, including residents and
business entities, to participate in the 2014 Climate Action Plan update to:
Packet Pg. 25
Attachment1.1: April 1, 2014 (Minutes - 4/1, 4/15 and 4/122)
April 1, 2014
139
Ensure various perspectives are heard and that the draft CAP reflects the desires of the
community,
Tap into the expertise and innovation in the community, and
Build critical partnerships and support for CAP implementation, including
recommendations for on-going public engagement to implement the plan.
An Advisory Committee of key stakeholders will be convened to provide input to the update of the
Climate Action Plan. Participants will be sought from the sectors listed below.
Citizen Sector (Council advisory board representatives)
Will seek representatives from among Air Quality Advisory Board, Economic Advisory
Commission, Energy Board, Natural Resources Advisory Board, Parking Board, and
Transportation Board.
Business, Environmental, and Social Sectors
Will include representatives to be drawn from groups such as ClimateWise Steering
Committee, Chamber of Commerce, Fort Collins Sustainability Group, Board of
Realtors, Energy and/or Water Cluster representatives, Home Builders of Northern
Colorado, Northern Colorado Renewable Energy Society, Communities for Sustainable
Energy, Sierra Club, faith-based communities, Community Foundation, Poudre Valley
Health Systems, Vida Sana, etc.
Major Stakeholders
Will include at least one representative each from Colorado State University, Poudre
School District, and Larimer County.
Subject Matter/Technical Experts
Will include subject matter experts to represent the issues of climate change science,
water resources, public health, and utility providers (including a representative from
PRPA). Technical experts may be formed into a separate sub-committee.
An engagement and implementation committee may also be developed to focus on public
engagement strategies to implement the plan, with special emphasis placed on key stakeholders
and potential funders, reaching students and faith-based communities, and leveraging the work
of non-profits.
Additional public outreach to develop and vet the plan will include forums, presentations to
Boards and community groups, and a Web site to provide information and obtain comments.
CAP Update Technical Assistance
Consulting expertise has been retained to support technical work associated with the plan
update. Analyses will include:
An updated greenhouse gas emissions forecast;
Best practice research, including new areas such as net zero cities, food, etc.;
Packet Pg. 26
Attachment1.1: April 1, 2014 (Minutes - 4/1, 4/15 and 4/122)
April 1, 2014
140
Development of potential emission reduction strategies and generation of various
scenarios for the emissions trajectory through 2030, which may include sector specific
and interim targets;
Evaluation of first-cost, ongoing costs/savings, return on investment, and other
appropriate metrics; and where possible, other leading-edge benefit calculation
methodologies;
Analysis of who pays and who saves, cost impact scenarios, and financial model
scenarios;
Integration with climate adaption strategies; and
Triple bottom line analysis of strategies to aid in strategy prioritization and mitigation of
negative impacts.
Next Steps
The CAP update will occur during 2014 in close coordination with Platte River Power
Authority's resource planning process. Additionally, sector specific strategies and targets within
the CAP will align with and be informed by other initiatives being coordinated within Fort
Collins, such as the Energy Policy and Road to Zero Waste.
Following public outreach and adherence to a relatively aggressive schedule, a draft CAP will
be prepared for Council consideration by the end of 2014. The draft CAP will be created in an
accessible, visually pleasing format that is graphics-rich and text- light.
The proposed schedule is below.

greenhouse gas reduction, including broad potential environmental impacts.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
City staff visited 5 boards at least twice in late 2013 and early 2014 to introduce the topic and
then seek feedback on potential future greenhouse gas goals. Relevant Board memos are
presented in Attachment 1 and summarized below.
Energy Board (2/7/13) - recommendation to review community GHG goals and
supporting plans, with the intent of moving towards more aggressive goals
Natural Resources Advisory Board (1/16/14) - recommendation for 40% below 2005 by
2020 and aspire to carbon neutral by 2050
Air Quality Advisory Board (1/31/14) - recommendation for reduction of 80% below
2005 by 2030 and aspiring to carbon neutral by 2050
Energy Board (2/6/14) - recommendation that the City adopt more aggressive GHG
goals, and adopt specific, achievable and measurable interim goals through 2030
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Public outreach was conducted on possible future greenhouse gas goals, including a public
forum on October 2013 that 65 people attended, board and commissions dialogue, and a Web
site input opportunity.
Two primary themes emerged from recent outreach; an interest in more aggressive community
GHG goals, and an interest in the details about the anticipated benefits and costs. The upcoming
Climate Action Plan process will address both of these themes by developing a draft plan to meet
more aggressive goals and assessing the associated costs and benefits, and gathering public
input throughout this process.”
Councilmember Cunniff stated he wanted to clean up some language regarding some of the
interim language and goals and the approval process for the ad hoc committee.
Kevin Cross, Fort Collins Sustainability Group, supported the Resolution and the formation of
the ad hoc committee.
Hunter Buffington, Fort Collins Sustainability Group, supported the Resolution and encouraged
the engagement of a broad group of individuals in this process.

Councilmember Cunniff made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Poppaw, to adopt
Resolution 2014-028, with the following modifications: the City Manager is directed to nominate
an ad hoc advisory committee for Council approval, the incorporation of the City’s existing 2020
goals, and deletion of the phrase “after the year 2030.”
Councilmember Cunniff discussed his proposed changes.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak suggested a friendly amendment to include language regarding specific
and measureable steps that project the benefits and cost for the community. Councilmembers
Cunniff and Poppaw accepted the friendly amendment to the motion.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak supported the proposed changes and commended the Fort Collins
Sustainability Group for its assistance in crafting the Resolution.
Councilmember Troxell asked if the modification suggests Councilmembers are involved with
the interviewing process for committee members. Councilmember Cunniff replied the suggested
language would direct the City Manager to provide nominations for Council approval, not
involve Councilmembers in the interview process.
Bruce Hendee, Chief Sustainability Officer, stated staff would like the Climate Action Plan to be
up and running as quickly as possible.
Mayor Weitkunat noted the importance of a diverse group of individuals being placed on the
committee.

Councilmember Cunniff asked if Timnath has provided justification to the Stormwater Authority
for its use of Urban Renewal Authority funds. Deputy City Attorney Daggett replied she does
not have extensive information regarding the Timnath Development Authority; however, the tie
in is that these improvements are public improvements that enhance the ability for development
of the areas in the Development Authority.
Councilmember Overbeck asked if eminent domain can be executed in this agreement. Deputy
City Attorney Daggett replied there is not an intent that eminent domain would be used for the
covered improvements. Ken Sampley, Stormwater Floodplain Program Manager replied there is
no discussion about the use of eminent domain with regard to this IGA amendment.

“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Ordinance, adopted on First Reading on March 18, 2014 by a vote of 4-2 (Nays: Cunniff,

development. The Ordinance adopts a fee schedule and ratifies past collections and certain
actions that were inconsistent with the City Code. The Ordinance also amends Section 7.5-85(d)
of the City Code pertaining to the remittance and expenditure of the fee.”
Councilmember Campana withdrew from the discussion of this item due to a conflict of interest.
Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant, stated the majority of funds for this fee come from Fort
Collins and stated public finance is misunderstood by City staff.
Councilmember Troxell made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Horak, to adopt Ordinance
No. 048, 2014, on Second Reading.
Mayor Weitkunat noted the regional road impact fee pays for regionally significant roads within
the Fort Collins Growth Management Area, which provide a direct benefit to residents of Fort
Collins.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he would not support this item, given concerns regarding the
process and IGA being allowed to expire. He requested an action plan addressing these issues.

Ordinance No. 054, 2014,
Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General
Fund for Municipal Court Reorganization, Adopted on First Reading
The following is the staff presentation for this item.
“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to authorize and appropriate funding for a relatively minor
reorganization of the Municipal Court department. The Court requests $55,400 from the General
Fund Reserves to cover the prorated cost of a net 1.45 increase in classified/unclassified FTE.
This cost relates to three changes which are not included in the approved 2014 budget:
converting an existing 0.50 FTE Bailiff position from hourly to classified status, increasing an
existing 0.30 FTE classified Deputy Court Clerk II position to a 0.50 FTE, and adding a 0.75
FTE classified position of Court Security Officer. The changes are needed due to case load
changes and security concerns. The cost of the changes is anticipated to be covered by a recent
increase in the amount of the court cost assessed in appropriate cases. The changes were
included in the Municipal Court reorganization plan which was recently approved by the City
Manager’s Office.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Municipal Court adjudicates traffic, misdemeanor, and civil infraction complaints. In 2013,
the Municipal Court processed approximately 33,000 cases to completion: 17,000 general cases
and 16,000 camera radar/red light cases. Currently, the Municipal Court organization includes
the following personnel who handle the general case load:
Position Classified/
Unclass. FTE
Hourly FTE Total
Municipal Court Judge 0.80 0.80
Court Administrator 1.00 1.00
Deputy Court Clerk II 1.30 1.30
Deputy Court Clerk I 2.50 0.50 3.00
Bailiff 0.50 0.50
Total 5.60 1.00 6.60
Packet Pg. 31
Attachment1.1: April 1, 2014 (Minutes - 4/1, 4/15 and 4/122)
April 1, 2014
145
Additionally, the Court has 1.0 FTE of contractual and hourly Court Clerks who handle the
Camera Radar/Red Light cases as well as an hourly Associate Judge and two Referees who are
used as needed.
The 2013-2014 approved Municipal Court budget includes funding for a security service
contract providing an armed security officer to monitor the courtroom, clerks’ office, front
lobby, hallways, prosecutors’ offices, and the defendants’ waiting areas.
Proposed Changes and Justification: The Municipal Court requests a net 1.45 increase in
classified/unclassified FTE. The following three changes are proposed for the Municipal Court
organizational structure:
1. Convert an existing 0.50 FTE Bailiff position from hourly to classified status.
In addition to acting as Bailiff for all Court proceedings, the Bailiff provides clerical
support for the Deputy Court Clerks. This allows the Clerks to focus on providing
customer service to citizens appearing in the office or making inquiries by phone or mail.
The Municipal Court case load has increased significantly over the past several years,
creating the need to increase the hours worked by the Bailiff. The Bailiff now consistently
works between forty (40) and fifty (50) hours per pay period. As the population of the
City increases, the Court anticipates that the case load will either maintain its current
level or increase; therefore the workload for this position will continue or increase, as
well. In order to maintain fairness and equity with other positions in the office, it is time
to change this position from an hourly status (no benefits) to a classified 0.50 FTE status.
2. Increase an existing 0.30 FTE classified Deputy Court Clerk II position to 0.50 FTE.
In December 2012, Municipal Court staffing changed following the retirement of the
Municipal Court Supervisor. While no net change in FTE occurred at that time, it
resulted in a classified Deputy Court Clerk II position of only 0.30 FTE. Unfortunately, a
position of that size can only be filled by an hourly employee. Current workload has
created the need to increase that position to 0.50 FTE to help with some of the complex
case processing and financial work which must be done daily. Without additional
support, the Court Administrator will have less time to devote to staff development, work
on statistical reports, and initiating innovative processes.
3. Add a 0.75 FTE classified Court Security Officer position.
The Municipal Court has completed two security assessments within the past three years,
both of which identified a number of concerns and suggested changes. One of the
suggestions was to have a security officer present. Since February 2013, the Court has
contracted with Vets Securing America for a POST-certified security officer during
arraignment sessions. Due to the reduction in incidents and some additional security
concerns during non-arraignment time-frames, we have expanded the use of this service
to include hearings, trials, and jury trials. In order to ensure consistency in personnel,
training, and services provided, we now recommend the creation of a classified position
of Court Security Officer. Fort Collins Police Services has agreed to provide a limited
commission and work with the Court on training requirements for this Security Officer.

April 1, 2014
146
Budget: The increased personnel expenses related to this reorganization are not currently
funded in the Court’s 2014 budget. The costs involved would be as follows:
The incremental cost of changing the status of the Bailiff position from hourly to classified
is approximately $13,308 per year.
The incremental cost of increasing the Deputy Court Clerk II classified position from 0.30
to 0.50 FTE is approximately $15,484 per year.
The proposed salary for the classified 0.75 FTE Court Security Officer is equivalent to that
of a Natural Areas Trail Ranger, Park Ranger, and Transit Services Officer. The Court
would also need approximately $3,100 additional funds for purchasing uniforms and safety
equipment for the Officer. Currently, the Court has a small budget for security services:
$11,750 for 2014; with that offset, the incremental cost of the change described in this
Ordinance is $45,065.
The Court is requesting that its departmental budget for 2014 be increased by a pro-rated total
of $55,400 (relating to an effective date of April 2014).
Should the funding for the aforementioned changes be approved, the Municipal Court’s
organizational structure (for the general caseload) will be as follows:
Position Classified/
Unclassified
FTE
Hourly FTE Total
Municipal Court Judge 0.80 0.80
Court Administrator 1.00 1.00
Deputy Court Clerk II 1.50 1.50
Deputy Court Clerk I 2.50 0.50 3.00
Bailiff 0.50 0.50
Court Security Officer 0.75 0.75
Total 7.05 0.50 7.55

Items Relating to the Fort Collins Municipal Court, Adopted on First Reading
The following is the staff memorandum for this item.
“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 055, 2014, Amending Section 19-4 of the City Code
Regarding the Failure to Pay Fine or Penalty.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 056, 2014, Amending Section 19-62 of the City Code
Pertaining to the Handling of Civil Infractions and Misdemeanor Offenses.
The purpose of this item is to codify certain changes in the judicial process to improve fairness
and efficiency. Ordinance No. 055, 2014, amends the City Code to remove the specific dollar
amount of credit a prisoner receives for jail served on failure to pay cases and, instead, specifies
that said amount will be listed in the Schedule of Fines established by the Municipal Judge. This
allows the Municipal Judge to periodically adjust that amount as appropriate. Ordinance No.
056, 2014, amends the City Code to indicate that if an incident gives rise to charges which would
normally be filed as a civil infraction and a misdemeanor, the charges are to be handled
together as a misdemeanor case. This avoids the time and confusion of having two separate
tickets filed with the Court, with separate procedures and costs relating to each.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 055, 2014, Amending Section 19-4 of the City Code
Regarding the Failure to Pay Fine or Penalty.
This item amends the City Code to remove the specific dollar amount of credit a prisoner
receives for jail served on failure to pay cases. This amount had been listed in the Code as $6.00
per day and had not been adjusted for years. Out of fairness, the Judge has been giving
defendants credit for more than that amount; $50 credit for each day of jail served has been
given for the last several years. In order to provide flexibility in adjusting this credited amount
as appropriate, the proposed ordinance removes the dollar amount and, instead, specifies that
said amount will be listed in the Schedule of Fines established by the Municipal Judge.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 056, 2014, Amending Section 19-62 of the City Code
Pertaining to the Handling of Civil Infractions and Misdemeanor Offenses.
This item amends the City Code to indicate that if an incident gives rise to two (or more) charges
which would normally be filed separately as a civil infraction and a misdemeanor, the charges
are to be handled together as a misdemeanor case. This changes the current practice of
enforcement officers having to issue two separate tickets in cases such as those involving an
Animal at Large charge, as well as a Dangerous Animal charge. In those cases, defendants are
currently faced with the potential of paying two sets of costs and having separate hearings if they
choose. The current practice has also increased the time spent by the Court to administer and
hear these cases. This change will streamline the process for all involved and avoid the
confusion which often arises from having two separate tickets relating to the same incident. The
proposed change is consistent with how traffic cases are handled under City Code Section 19-45.

FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There is no financial impact from the first item. As to the second item, there is a minimal impact
since there are very few cases that will be affected. For those few cases, enforcement officers will
only have to issue one ticket instead of two, defendants who plead or are found guilty will pay
costs on one case instead of two, and the Court will have one trial on contested cases instead of
potentially a referee hearing as well as a trial relating to the same incident.”
Municipal Judge Lane discussed the necessity for the proposed Ordinances.
Councilmember Poppaw asked if records regarding socio-economic status are kept, in terms of
fines paid versus jail time served. Judge Lane replied there are no specific statistics on that
topic; however, the Court attempts to avoid sending individuals to jail for municipal infractions
and allows petitions for fine waivers and community service in lieu of fines.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Poppaw, to adopt
Ordinance No. 055, 2014, on First Reading. Yeas: Poppaw, Cunniff, Horak, Weitkunat,

Councilmember Cunniff asked about the penalties for civil infractions. Judge Lane replied civil
infractions are only penalized by fines.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if the fines are comparable to those for misdemeanors. Judge
Lane replied the first offense for a civil infraction is $100, the second offense is $300, and the
third offense becomes a misdemeanor.

C. First Reading of Ordinance No. 059, 2014, Amending Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code
Pertaining to New Construction as it Affects Historic and Cultural Resources.
The purpose of this item is to present to Council the proposed changes to Chapter 2 and Chapter
14 of the City Code and Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code resulting from the 2012-2013
Historic Preservation Process and Codes Improvements Study.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 2012 and 2013, per Council’s direction, historic preservation staff undertook a
comprehensive evaluation of the City’s Historic Preservation Program to enhance its
transparency, predictability, and effectiveness. Phase 1 of this review resulted in two substantive
changes to the City Code, adopted in August 2012:
An appeal process for determinations of eligibility, and for the determination of the effect
of proposed work on this eligibility; and
More specificity to Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) member requirements,
ensuring compliance with Certified Local Government (CLG) standards.
Council directed that Phase 2 look more comprehensively at the various components that make
up the Historic Preservation Program. Based upon direction received at Council’s August 26,
2013 Work Session (Attachment 1), staff is bringing forward revisions to both the City Code and
Land Use Code (LUC) for Council’s consideration.
Code revisions, (Ordinance No. 057, 2014; Ordinance No. 058, 2014; and Ordinance No. 059,
2014), to improve transparency and predictability include:
A complete re-organization of Chapter 14, “Landmark Preservation,” and the addition
of explanations and references, enhancing the clarity and understanding of the Code,
grouping all eligibility information together and all landmark designation information
together. Previously, information was scatted throughout the Chapter;The inclusion of a
building’s context as a consideration in determining eligibility. Previously, each
property was looked at individually regardless of the surrounding character of the
property;
Having determinations remain valid for five years, rather than the current one year
period;
Adding a requirement that a minimum of three residents of the city must sign to submit an
application for a non-consensual landmark designation. Currently, one resident can
submit;
Change LUC Section 3.4.7(F), “New Construction,” to better clarify the area to be
considered when evaluating the compatibility of new structures, when a project involves
irregular shaped parcels or land that has not been platted in a standard grid pattern;
Requiring applicants to provide a Plan of Protection, showing how the applicant will
ensure that no damage will occur to any historic resources on or adjacent to the site;
Requiring repair, rather than demolition, of properties undergoing review under either
“Landmark Preservation” or “Historic and Cultural Resources,” and which are
declared dangerous by the Chief Building Officer. If a property is found to be an

150
imminent threat by the Chief Building Officer, then an owner will have the option of
repair or demolition;
Providing penalties for actions that violate the protection mechanisms of the landmark
Preservation Code.
Code revisions to improve effectiveness and shorten review times include:
Adding the ability for the Community Development and Neighborhood Services (CDNS)
Director to be able to approve minor alterations on landmark properties
administratively, so that permit approval may be granted within days rather than weeks;
Adding the ability for the LPC Design Review Subcommittee, established by Council
under Ordinance No. 002, 2011, to provide recommendations to the CDNS Director on
plans it has reviewed and approved. The Director could then approve the plans
administratively, without the necessity of the Subcommittee recommendation going before
the full LPC for approval;
Adding the ability for the LPC to review development projects affecting individually
eligible and designated historic properties, and to provide a recommendation to the
Decision Maker. This action would provide important information to the Decision Maker
on projects subject to both historic preservation and development Code requirements.
The change would also bring the City into compliance with federal CLG requirements,
which recognizes the LPC as the City’s qualified historic review board;
Changing the LUC review process to add non-binding determinations of eligibility,
enabling potential historic resources to be identified without undue cost or delay to
development applications. This is the process currently used; however, these
determinations are not identified in the Code as non-binding, which has the potential to
cause problems.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
These Code changes provide greater predictability to the Historic Preservation Code processes,
and provide for alternative review processes to facilitate project review, saving staff and the
public both time and cost.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its March 12, 2014 regular meeting, the Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously (9-
0) recommended approval of the Code revisions to City Codes Chapter 2, “Landmark
Preservation Commission,” and Chapter 14, “Landmark Preservation” (Attachment 2).
At its March 13, 2014 regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously (7-0)
recommended approval of the Code revisions to Land Use Code Section 3.4.7, “Historic and
Cultural Resources” (Attachment 3).

proposed Code changes and detailed those changes.
Bill Whitley, 618 West Mountain Avenue, supported the revisions.
Bill Jenkins, 710 Mathews Street, supported the revisions and discussed the demolition of the
historic Button House.
Joseph Simpson, Fort Collins resident, supported an increase in transparency with regard to the
historic preservation process.
Barbara Leibler, 710 Mathews Street, supported the revisions.
Gina Janett, 730 West Oak Street, supported the revisions and suggested a deadline for required
repairs be included. She also noted there are financial incentives available for such repairs.
Clint Skutchan, Fort Collins Board of Realtors, commended staff for work on this item and

necessary for non-consensual petitions for historic designation.
Myrne Watrous, 723 West Olive, supported the revisions and the addition of a deadline for
required repairs.
Councilmember Overbeck asked if Fort Collins’ historic preservation regulations meet or exceed
State requirements. McWilliams replied Fort Collins’ codes meet or exceed the State and
National regulations in almost all cases.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if the deadline for repairs could be included. Laurie Kadrich,
Director of Community Development and Neighborhood Services, replied the issue of repair has
come up largely due to the Button House demolition and stated options regarding a timeline for
repairs could be explored prior to Second Reading. She supported a further public outreach
process and an additional ordinance regarding the repair issue.

Councilmember Cunniff asked if offenses toward historic properties would fall under
misdemeanor offense status, absent any other penalty declarations. Kadrich replied in the
affirmative.
Councilmember Cunniff suggested the inclusion of additional specificity regarding the penalties
prior to Second Reading. Deputy City Attorney Eckman replied the penalty is set by the Court
and the City could choose whether or not to issue citations for each day of non-compliance.
Councilmember Cunniff expressed concern regarding the City’s ability to penalize offenses in
line with the extent of damage. City Attorney Roy detailed the extent of the consequences the
City can require through the Court.
Deputy City Attorney Eckman stated this Ordinance addresses concerns related to structures
such as the Button House with the plan of protection requirement.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if some type of bond or revocable fee which would accrue to the
City in the case that significant damage or destruction of the structure occurred could be
included. Deputy City Attorney Eckman replied in the affirmative.
Mayor Weitkunat asked about the repair requirement for dangerous structures. Kadrich replied
the Chief Building Official has the authority to declare a building or a structure dangerous;
within that definition, an imminent threat could be declared, in which case the building must be
demolished or immediate action must occur. A building declared dangerous could be secured so
as to preserve public safety and could then be repaired and/or demolished. She suggested this
issue be included in further public outreach in order to determine its applicability to historic
structures. The Landmark Preservation Code has regulations specific to locally designated
structures that require repair.
Councilmember Campana suggested time of repair language could potentially be included in the
plan of protection. He asked how often non-consensual designations occur. Kadrich replied
there have been two requests in the last couple years by an individual; in both of those cases, the
Landmark Preservation Commission has not passed a recommendation on to Council for
landmark consideration. McWilliams replied there was only one non-consensual building
designated in Fort Collins, the old post office building.
Councilmember Campana suggested more than three individuals be required for non-consensual
designations.
Councilmember Overbeck supported the recommendation for three individuals being required
for non-consensual designations. He agreed language regarding time of repair should be
included prior to Second Reading.
Councilmember Troxell asked if any of the new recommendations provide for better
coordination among City departments in terms of review and process. McWilliams replied
several internal process changes have been made in terms of program administration to enhance
cooperation between various departments; however, they are not necessarily reflected in the
Codes because they are more process-oriented rather than legislative-oriented.

Councilmember Troxell asked if peer review validation will be required in terms of deeming
structures as historic. McWilliams replied a system is in place in which professional historic
preservation surveyors from outside Fort Collins are asked to provide input when the validity of
eligibility is in question.
Mayor Weitkunat clarified the landmark designation process initiation could come from the
Landmark Preservation Commission, property owner, or three or more residents of the City.
Councilmember Cunniff noted three individuals would not be deciding on landmark designation,
rather they would be filing a request for consideration of designation.
Councilmember Campana suggested the designation process be reviewed. McWilliams replied
the process begins with an application identifying a property the filer feels is significant to the
community, the Landmark Preservation Commission reviews the application and determines
whether or not the application is valid; if so, staff is directed to collect historical information and
begin the public outreach process, and a second meeting with the Commission is held. The
Commission will make a finding as to whether or not the property is eligible and will make a
finding as to why the property is significant enough that it should be brought forward for
consideration, even without the owner’s consent. Additional public outreach occurs following
the second hearing, then a third hearing is held and the Commission then adopts a Resolution
with its final recommendation.
Councilmember Campana asked about the process for a potentially historic structure submitting
an application for a remodel. McWilliams replied that property would fall under the
demolition/alteration historic review process, which involves an assessment of the building’s
eligibility, which can be appealed. If the property is found to be individually eligible, the
property owner then goes through the development review process. She noted there is no forced
designation in Fort Collins.
Councilmember Campana made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Overbeck, to adopt
Ordinance No. 057, 2014, on First Reading.
Mayor Weitkunat requested the inclusion of a larger number of individuals being required for
non-consensual designation.
Councilmember Cunniff requested information regarding other cities’ processes. McWilliams
replied some communities require only one individual, while others require up to fifty.
Councilmember Cunniff suggested that staff bring forward an optional number for that provision
prior to Second Reading.
Councilmembers Campana and Overbeck retracted the original motion.
Councilmember Campana made a motion, seconded by Mayor Weitkunat, to adopt Ordinance
No. 057, 2014, on First Reading, amending Section 14.2.1 from three residents to ten.
Councilmember Cunniff made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Overbeck, to amend the
motion to require three residents for non-consensual designations.

Resolution 2014-029
Appointing an Ad Hoc City Council Committee to Select and
Recommend a Name for a 31-Acre Natural Area, Adopted
The following is the staff memorandum for this item.
“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appoint an ad hoc Council committee to develop a naming
recommendation for the 31-acre property recently conveyed from Woodward Governor to the
City’s Natural Areas Department (NAD).
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Naming of new properties is governed by City Code Section 23-141 and 23-142 (Attachment 2).
There are two separate naming approaches described in those provisions. The first describes
the process when a personal name is under consideration. The second describes the process
when a personal name is not under consideration.

Attachment1.1: April 1, 2014 (Minutes - 4/1, 4/15 and 4/122)

1) If the property is to be named for a person or entities, the name must be approved by
Council resolution and after review by an ad hoc committee “formed for the purpose of
selecting and recommending a name for such property…” The ad hoc committee “may
be initiated by request of the City Manager or the Mayor or by majority vote of the City
Council.” In this case the Mayor initiated the request for an ad hoc committee.
a. If a personal name is to be considered, a resolution adopting the name shall
“include a description of the donation or other significant service or benefit to the
community… that is the basis for the designation of the name approved.”
b. If using a personal name the person(s) shall have been determined “to have
provided significant service or direct benefit to the community that has endured,
or will endure, over many years.”
c. If a donation is the basis for the personal name under consideration, the donation
generally “should be no less than seventy-five percent…of the value of the
property…”
2) If a personal name is not under consideration, the City Manager is authorized to
“establish administrative rules and procedures for the selection…” As a matter of
practice (and in accordance with an NAD administratively adopted policy) NAD staff
typically has solicited names from the public and chosen a name for its sites.
Prior to bringing forward a name to the City Manager or City Council for this particular
property, on January 15 Natural Areas staff recommended the name Coy Hoffman Natural Area
to the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board. The Board was opposed to this name for a
variety of reasons (Attachment 3).
At the Board’s February 12 meeting, the Board passed a motion to advise Council of its
opposition to the Coy Hoffman Natural Area. The motion also recommended that staff develop a
name in keeping with the site’s natural characteristics or Native American history.
In addition to Coy Hoffman Natural Area, staff proposed Swift Current as an alternative to Coy
Hoffman. The name is in keeping with the practice of naming Natural Area sites after the
natural characteristics of the site. Some Native American tribes called the river minnie luzahan,
which translates to “swift current.”
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At the time of this Agenda Item Summary, the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board had
not taken a position on the ad hoc Council committee. The Board, however, did pass a motion at
its February 12th meeting, expressing its opposition to Coy Hoffman Natural Area. The motion
also suggested that staff develop a name in keeping with the site’s natural characteristics or
Native American history (Attachment 4).
PUBLIC OUTREACH
In addition to its work with the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board, Natural Areas staff
conducted public outreach to solicit site names. Several citizens recommended names associated
with the pioneer history of the site; Swift Current also was suggested.”
John Stokes, Natural Resources Director, discussed the necessity for the ad hoc committee.

Myrne Watrous, 723 West Olive, supported the name Coy Hoffman for the Natural Area and
noted approximately 1/3 of the City’s Natural Areas have been named for families connected to
those areas.
Mayor Weitkunat stated she will serve on the committee and suggested Councilmember
Overbeck consider serving as the property is within his District.
Councilmember Overbeck stated he would be delighted to serve on the committee.
Councilmembers Troxell and Cunniff expressed interest in serving on the committee, as well.
Councilmember Cunniff made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Overbeck, to adopt
Resolution 2014-029, inserting the names Mayor Weitkunat and Councilmembers Troxell,
Overbeck, and Cunniff to serve on the ad hoc committee.
Councilmember Poppaw thanked those willing to serve on the committee.
The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Poppaw, Cunniff, Weitkunat, Overbeck, Troxell
and Campana. Nays: none.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Other Business
Councilmember Cunniff asked that Council entertain further consideration of a resolution
opposing the fast track of the Trans Pacific Partnership. Additional Councilmembers supported
that consideration.
City Attorney Roy noted the title of Resolution 2014-028 will need to be modified to reflect the
changes made by Council.

Regarding the Failure to Pay Fine or Penalty.

Pertaining to the Handling of Civil Infractions and Misdemeanor Offenses.
Ordinance No. 055, 2014, amends the City Code to remove the specific dollar amount of
credit a prisoner receives for jail served on failure to pay cases and, instead, specifies that
said amount will be listed in the Schedule of Fines established by the Municipal Judge. This
allows the Municipal Judge to periodically adjust that amount as appropriate.
Ordinance No. 056, 2014, amends the City Code to indicate that if an incident gives rise to
charges which would normally be filed as a civil infraction and a misdemeanor, the charges
are to be handled together as a misdemeanor case. This avoids the time and confusion of
having two separate tickets filed with the Court, with separate procedures and costs relating
to each. These Ordinances were unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 1, 2014.

At the April 1, 2014 Council meeting, questions were raised by Council concerning the
effect of certain Code changes, principally those related to dangerous condition and
imminent threat. For Second Reading, staff has revised the Code language to make the
intent of these Code provisions clearer.
Section 14-51 and a new Section 14-73 now state that, if the Building Official or another
properly authorized public official or employee determines that a historic structure must be
demolished because it presents an imminent threat to life, health or property, nothing in
Chapter 14 will interfere with carrying out that order. However, if the official or employee
determines that it is reasonable to repair the structure and that repairing it will make it safe,
then the owner of the structure will need to comply with Chapter 14 before work is
undertaken that will affect the exterior of the structure.

Councilmember Overbeck requested additional information regarding demolition by neglect and
timing requirements for fixing issues.
Karen McWilliams, Historic Preservation Planner, replied staff has examined the ability to
incorporate deadlines; however, the types of timelines depend greatly on the type of repairs
needed. Additionally, this topic was never broached during community outreach; therefore, staff
feels the issue has not been appropriately vetted with the community.
Councilmember Overbeck asked about the potential turn-around time for completion of
additional community outreach. Laurie Kadrich, Director of Community Development and
Neighborhood Services, replied the timeframe would likely range from two to six months.
Council requested staff proceed with the community outreach process regarding the topic.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Campana, to adopt
Ordinance No. 057, 2014, on Second Reading.

spraying, given existing proven protocols.

Resolution 2014-032
Amendment to the Foothills Mall Redevelopment Agreement, Postponed to May 6, 2014
The following is the staff memorandum for this item.
“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to amend the Foothills Mall Redevelopment Agreement. The
Developer has asked to amend Section 3.1 – Conditions Precedent to Issuance of District
Bonds of the Agreement, to allow the Metro District Bonds to be issued with 155k square
feet of executed leases vs. the 240k square feet required in the current agreement. The
Developer is also asking for clarification to Section 4.3 – Construction of Residential
Component of Project: Affordable Housing, concerning the period of time the Developer
may be required to make payments to the City if there is a delay in the completion of the
residential units.
Mayor Weitkunat withdrew from the discussion of this item due to a conflict of interest.
City Manager Atteberry discussed the importance of this amendment as it will keep the
construction timeline on track and will aid in keeping interest rates stable. Additionally, he
discussed the increased sales tax revenue which will be generated by the proposed project.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak asked if copies of the first amendment to the redevelopment
reimbursement agreement are available. City Manager Atteberry confirmed those copies are
available just outside Council Chambers.
Mike Beckstead, Chief Financial Officer, detailed the proposed amendment and its benefits to
the City. He stated this amendment will not change the financial risk to the City nor will it affect
the City’s credit rating.
Robby Swint, Walton Street Capital, commended the work done on the project thus far and
stated this amendment is critical to the project and will allow the opening to remain for the fall of
2015.
Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant, stated the redevelopment agreement contains many sub-
agreements which will need to be executed. He questioned whether or not the City’s best
interests are being met with this amendment.

Don Provost, Alberta Development Partners, discussed the complexity of the mall project and
stated this amendment would allow the fall of 2015 opening.
Mike Pruznick, Fort Collins resident, opposed the amendment stating the risk is too high for the
City.
Jonathan Carnahan, Fort Collins resident, discussed the financial risks of the agreement to the
City.
Ray Martinez, 4121 Stoneridge Court, stated there are great expectations for the mall
redevelopment and encouraged forward progress of the project.
Carolyn White, land use counsel for the developer, requested approval of the amendment.
Councilmember Overbeck asked about the bond market process completed by the developer.
Sam Sharp, D.A. Davidson and Company, replied the bond market responded favorably to the
decrease in square footage of executed leases.
Councilmember Overbeck asked if the PIF can be transferred if the mall is sold to another
developer. Beckstead replied that is a recorded item on the deed associated with the property,
which would therefore allow it to be transferred. Carrie Daggett, Deputy City Attorney, replied
the covenant is recorded against the property and runs with the land.
Councilmember Overbeck asked about the consequences should this amendment not be
approved. Mr. Swint replied that question is difficult to answer but noted leases are terminable
should the delivery date not be met.
Councilmember Overbeck asked what makes this mall proposal better than another. Mr. Swint
replied the developer has invested $200 million and years of time to ensure this proposal will
deliver a mall with a sense of place.
Councilmember Troxell made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Campana, to adopt
Resolution 2014-032.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if the terms are the same as those approved in May 2013.
Beckstead replied they are the same terms.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if the City requested the May 2013 agreement not go into effect.
Beckstead replied in the negative.
Councilmember Cunniff commented on political risk versus financial risk.
Councilmember Cunniff commented that the political calculation being made is that the Metro
District is strongly related to, if not part of, the City. He commented on the sales and tenant
situation at Centerra.
Councilmember Cunniff asked how many mall projects are being undertaken nationwide.
Beckstead replied he has heard two to four large mall projects are currently under construction.

Councilmember Cunniff argued central retail areas such as malls are no longer sought by
consumers given the rise of internet sales.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak asked Mr. Swint why Walton Holdings feels differently and is willing to
be an equity partner for this project. Mr. Swint replied there was an overbuilding of outdoor
mall concepts in the mid-2000s. He spoke about the sense of place concept for the Foothills
Mall plan and commented on the benefits of a brick and mortar shopping experience and noted
retailers are committing to leases.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak asked why Walton Holdings feels this particular mall is a good
investment. Mr. Swint replied that Fort Collins has good demographics and a regional draw.
Councilmember Campana noted the time spent dealing with amendments has slowed the pace of
leasing and commented on the additional risk being taken by the developer. He supported the
amendment.
Councilmember Cunniff discussed the change in shopping patterns and stated his concern about
committing the City and Metro District to this project has been further solidified. He opposed
the amendment as it increases risk.
Councilmember Overbeck opposed the amendment stating the risks outweigh the rewards. He
discussed shopping pattern changes and retail closures.
Councilmember Troxell stated this redevelopment will be catalytic for Midtown and this
amendment has zero risk to the City.
Councilmember Campana discussed new types of retailers and supported the amendment.
Councilmember Poppaw stated she supported the first mall deal and the January amendment;
however, the complexity of the deal could have been discussed then and the possibility of
additional changes should have been mentioned. She opposed the amendment.
Mayor Pro Tem discussed the advantages of the Foothills property over Centerra and noted the
bond market was receptive to the changes. He stated this is a quality of life issue for Fort Collins
and this change is less risky.
Councilmember Campana made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Troxell, to postpone
Resolution 2014-032 to April 22, 2014.
Councilmember Cunniff stated part of his concern has been related to the speed at which this
information has been coming forward and supported the possibility of postponement.
Councilmember Overbeck opposed the postponement and stated he would like the City of Fort
Collins to get back to delivering high quality services in a fiscally responsible manner.
Councilmember Poppaw suggested postponing the item to, May 6, 2014. Councilmembers
Campana and Troxell agreed with the date change.

Councilmember Cunniff asked that various boards and commissions have the opportunity to
review the amendment prior to May 6.
City Manager Atteberry asked what boards Council would like to have consider the issue, other
than the Economic Advisory Commission.
Councilmember Overbeck suggested the Affordable Housing Board and Commission on
Disability.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak suggested all boards and commissions be given an opportunity to meet
and discuss the topic.
City Attorney Roy suggested the inclusion of such language in the motion. Councilmembers
Campana and Troxell accepted the language.
The vote on the motion to postpone was as follows: Yeas: Cunniff, Horak, Troxell, Campana
and Poppaw. Nays: Overbeck.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Other Business
Councilmember Troxell requested Council direct the City Manager to work with the City
Attorney in putting together an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) framework between the City
and Colorado State University with regard to the community impacts and costs of the proposed
on-campus stadium, with a deadline of July 1, 2014 to have the IGA in place.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak suggested a timeline for having an IGA in place should first be instituted.
Councilmember Troxell expressed concern there is no conversation occurring relating to the
costs for infrastructure.
Mayor Weitkunat stated the July 1
st
deadline may be difficult to meet.
City Manager Atteberry supported Councilmember Troxell’s idea; however, he noted the
mitigation conversation has yet to take shape and stated the development of an IGA is typically a
negotiation.
Councilmember Troxell stated the IGA needs to be in place by July 1
st
if the stadium is planned
to be operational by fall 2016.
Councilmember Cunniff agreed some type of deadline is necessary.
Councilmember Overbeck supported the formation of at least an outline of an IGA from the
City’s perspective.
Councilmember Poppaw supported Councilmember Troxell’s proposal.

SUBJECT
Items Relating to the Kechter Farm Annexation and Zoning.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Resolution 2014-001 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the Kechter Farm
Crossing Annexation.
B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 005, 2014, Annexing Property Known as the Kechter
Farm Annexation to the City of Fort Collins.
C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 006, 2014, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort
Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Kechter Farm Annexation to
the City of Fort Collins.
This is a request to annex and zone 88.21 acres located north of Fossil Creek Reservoir, approximately
1,320 feet south of Kechter Road, 2,640 feet east of South Timberline Road, just west of Ziegler Road,
and southwest of Kinard Middle School. The property is located within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area
Plan. In accordance with the Intergovernmental Agreement with Larimer County, adopted in 1999,
properties within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area receive their land use approvals in the County and are
annexed into the City prior to construction.
Kechter Farm has a General Development Plan (comparable to the City’s Overall Development Plan) that
encompasses 286 acres. The first phase of the project is 88.21 acres and is currently in the County’s
development review process. Within the first phase, there is a 2.85 acre commercial area, 1.45 acre
recreation center with a neighborhood park, and the remaining land is dedicated to residential
development. The requested zoning for this annexation is LMN - Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood
and UE - Urban Estate.
This annexation request is in conformance with the State of Colorado Revised Statutes as they relate to
annexations, the City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan, and the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins
Intergovernmental Agreements. The annexation of this property will create an enclave, which will affect
approximately 180 acres of land to the north and west of the subject annexation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and the Ordinances on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County regarding
the Cooperative Planning Area adjacent to Fossil Creek Reservoir (adopted on August 31, 1999) and the
IGA between the City and County regarding Cooperation on Managing Urban Development (adopted on
June 24, 2008) stipulate the following:

Attachment2.1: First Reading Agenda Item Summary, January 7, 2014 (w/o attachments) (SR 005 006 Kechter Farm Annexation)
Agenda Item 13
Item # 13 Page 2
“The County may accept development applications for lands located within any area that is part of
a “receiving area” established through an adopted subarea plan for any Larimer County
Transferable Density Units Program. At such time as the County requires a landowner in a
receiving area to request annexation to the City, the City will process the annexation petition such
that the annexation, if approved by the City, will be completed within thirty-five (35) days following
the County’s approval of the final plat” (Section 5B).
Thus, this IGA stipulates that the properties in this area are annexed after the development review
process. The City does have an opportunity to comment on projects, and City staff has reviewed and
commented on the Kechter Farm project through the County’s development review process. This process
of County plan review followed by annexation was also undertaken with the Westchase, Kechter
Crossing, Fossil Lake neighborhoods. The IGAs referenced are available online at
<http://www.fcgov.com/advanceplanning/pdf/iga-doc.pdf>.
Kechter Farm is located within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan and contains 286 acres (see
Attachment 5). The parcel contains land that is both within the sending area (area to be conserved) and
receiving area (area to be developed). In 2012, the Board of County Commissioners approved the
project’s General Development Plan which permanently protected over 116 of the 286 acres on the
parcel, making the conservation of this land the last major piece of the Fossil Creek Reservoir
conservation effort outlined in the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. This annexation is for 88.21 of the
170 acres that is designated for land development in the Kechter Farm General Development Plan.
Kechter Farm has 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits through Kinard Middle School to the northeast
(annexed in May of 2007), Fossil Lake Third Annexation to the east (March 2002), Westchase Second
Annexation (December 2001), and the Poudre School District and Timbers PUD Annexation (July 2002),
thus satisfying the requirement that no less than one-sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the
existing City boundary.
The annexation of this first phase of the Kechter Farm GDP will create an enclave to the north and west
of the subject property (Attachment 4). According to State Statutes, the creation of an enclave allows the
municipality to annex the enclave areas after it has been an enclave for three years without a petition.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: LMN in the City of Fort Collins; Homestead Subdivision
E: LMN in the City of Fort Collins; Kinard Middle School
Fossil Lake PUD
S: FA1 - Farming in Larimer County; Fossil Creek Reservoir
W: UE in the City of Fort Collins; Westchase PUD
LMN in the City of Fort Collins; Westchase PUD
Mail Creek Crossing
Timbers Development
Staff is recommending that this property be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. A
map amendment will be necessary as this property is not already in the District. The “Residential
Neighborhood Sign District” was established for the purpose of regulating signs for nonresidential uses in
certain geographical areas of the City which may be particularly affected by such signs because of their
predominantly residential use and character.
Findings:
1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer
County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort
Collins Growth Management Area.
2. The requested placement into the Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood and Urban Estate

District is consistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan Map and the Fossil Creek
Reservoir Area Plan Map.
3. The property meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for a voluntary
annexation to the City of Fort Collins.
4. On December 3, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution 2013-097 that accepted the
annexation petition and determined that the petition was in compliance with State law. The
Resolution also initiated the annexation process for the property by establishing the date, time
and place when a public hearing would be held regarding the readings of the Ordinances
annexing and zoning the area.
5. The requested LMN, Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood and UE, Urban Estate Zoning
Districts are in conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
6. The annexation and zoning request is in conformance with the City of Fort Collins Land Use
Code.
It should be noted that due to an Intergovernmental Agreement between Larimer County and the City of
Fort Collins for the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Land Use Framework Plan, this annexation is contingent
upon completing development as described in the General Development Plan. If changes to the General
Development Plan are such that they warrant a major amendment to the Plan, the zoning with conditions
would no longer be applicable and the property would be considered zoned Urban Estate and Low
Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood pursuant to the Fort Collins Land Use Code.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACT
No direct financial impacts result from the proposed annexation and zoning.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The health, safety and well-being of the community and its citizens will not be adversely impacted by the
proposed annexation and zoning of the property. The annexation request is in conformance with the
State of Colorado Revised Statutes as they relate to annexations and the City of Fort Collins
Comprehensive Plan & Land Use Code.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its December 12, 2013 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board conducted a public hearing regarding
the annexation and zoning request and voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the annexation. The Board
voted 5-0 to recommend that the property be placed in the Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood and
Urban Estate Zone Districts and in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. The minutes from the
December 12, 2013 Planning and Zoning Board Hearing are attached.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The public notification of the annexation and zoning request occurred two weeks prior to the item going
before the Planning and Zoning Board at their scheduled public hearing on December 12, 2013. A letter
of notification of the public hearing was mailed to all Affected Property Owners within 1000 feet of the
property 14 days prior to the hearing. The Land Use Code does not require a neighborhood meeting for
annexation and initial zonings. A meeting was not held for this annexation and zoning request, due to the
fact that the development project was reviewed and approved in the County and a neighborhood meeting
was conducted as part of the County review.
There was significant public outreach during the land use approval process for the General Development

aforesaid zoning is conditioned upon compliance with that certain Intergovernmental Agreement
Regarding Cooperation on Managing Urban Development, originally adopted May 1, 1980, and
amended November, 2000 (“IGA”), and the Larimer County Land Use Code Supplementary
Regulations, Section 15.2.2 et seq, and the General Development Plan (“GDP”) and Planned
Development zoning approved by Larimer County on December 10, 2012. Accordingly, this
zoning will only be applicable if and to the extent that the development contemplated by the
GDP is actually constructed in accordance with the GDP. If it is not so constructed, and if such
deviation from the GDP is substantial enough to require a Major Amendment under the
provisions of the Land Use Code, then this conditional zoning will no longer be applicable, and
the property will be required to be processed through such applications under the Land Use Code
as would be required if the property were zoned U-E and L-M-N without conditions.
Furthermore, the portion of the property within the L-M-N zone district designated as
“Commercial” (in the northeastern corner of the property) shall, in any event, be required to
obtain approval by the City of a Project Development Plan pursuant to the Land Use Code.
Section 4. That the Sign District Map adopted pursuant to Section 3.8.7(E) of the
Land Use Code of the City of Fort Collins is hereby changed and amended by showing that the
above-described property is included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District.
Section 5. That the City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to amend said
Zoning Map in accordance with this Ordinance.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 053, 2014, Vacating a Portion of Plum Street Right-of-Way as Dedicated on
the Dechairo Subdivision Plat.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to vacate a portion of Plum Street right-of-way that is no longer necessary or
desirable to retain for public street purposes. The property owner adjacent to this portion of right-of-way is
requesting the vacation. This location is the future site of the Scott Plaza development project, which was

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 2007 additional right-of-way was dedicated to the City along Plum Street on the Dechairo Subdivision plat.
With the Scott Plaza development plan, the applicant has proposed a mixed use development project at this
location and it has been determined that the additional right-of-way is no longer needed for public street
purposes.
The applicant has ownership of the adjacent land. All public and private utilities were notified of the proposed
vacation and they report no objections to the vacation request.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACT
There are no financial impacts to the vacation of this portion of right of way.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
There are no environmental impacts to the vacation of this portion of right of way.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
A memorandum requesting input was sent to the utility providers and potentially impacted City departments.
The adjacent property owner and the person requesting the vacation are one in the same and thus no letters
were sent to adjacent property owners.

of the City Code Pertaining to the Cultivation of Marijuana.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to amend the definition of "publicly" in Section 12-141 of the City Code as it relates
to the cultivation of marijuana so as to conform the definition to that which appears in Section 17-190 relating

2014, adopted by Council on Second Reading on March 18, 2014.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
On March 18, 2014, Council adopted on second reading a series of ordinances relating to retail/recreational
marijuana. Two of those ordinances -- Ordinance No. 038, 2014, establishing regulations for the consumption
and possession of marijuana and prohibiting the transfer or display of marijuana on City-owned property, and
Ordinance No. 039, 2014, establishing regulations for the cultivation of marijuana -- contain a definition of
"publicly" which should have been identical to one another. However, the phrase "including any place to which
the public or a substantial number of the public have access without restriction" inadvertently appeared in
Ordinance No. 039, 2014, while other wording was omitted.
This Ordinance amends the definition of "publicly" in Section 12-141 of the City Code (adopted via Ordinance No.
039, 2014) to make the definition consistent with the definition contained in Section 17-190 of the City Code
(adopted via Ordinance No. 038. 2014).

OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AMENDING THE DEFINITION OF “PUBLICLY” CONTAINED IN

PERTAINING TO THE CULTIVATION OF MARIJUANA
WHEREAS, on March 18, 2014, the City Council passed and adopted on final reading
Ordinance No. 038, 2014 establishing regulations for the consumption and possession of
marijuana within the City and prohibiting the transfer or display of marijuana on city-owned

WHEREAS, the definition of “publicly” appeared in both ordinances, and those
definitions should have been identical to one another, but are not; and
WHEREAS, City staff recommends that the definition of “publicly” in Ordinance No.
039, 2014, be amended to make the two definitions identical; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that these proposed amendments to the
City Code are in the best interests of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS that the definition of “Publicly” contained in Section 12-141 of the Code of the
City of Fort Collins is hereby amended to read as follows:
Publicly shall mean occurring on any publicly owned property, or on any non-residential
property that is open to the general public, including, but not limited to, roadways, transportation
facilities, offices, retail stores, restaurants, places of amusement, parks, playgrounds, and the
common areas of public buildings and facilities.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 061, 2014, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Deed Conveying 12,391
Square Feet of City-Owned Property to Dillon Companies, Inc.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this Ordinance is to obtain authorization from City Council to convey to Dillon Companies, Inc.
a portion of a 1-acre tract of property that was originally acquired from BNSF Railway Company for MAX Bus
Rapid Transit (“MAX”) project purposes, but is no longer needed by the Project or the City as a result of a an
alternative design that has been developed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
To accommodate the MAX station located at Drake Road, the City acquired approximately 1-acre of unused
railroad property from BNSF Railway Company. The City intended to develop station improvements on the
southern portion of this parcel (at Drake Road) and develop MAX exclusive use parking on the remainder.
Given the narrow configuration of the acquired railroad property, supplemental acquisitions were necessary
from the adjacent property owner, Dillon Companies, Inc., (Dillon) to develop the exclusive use parking.
Further, additional acquisitions were needed for other project needs including shared parking.
In the course of negotiating with Dillon, a concern was expressed regarding potential impacts to Dillon’s
planned future redevelopment of the site. In response, both parties agreed to look at design/alignment
alternatives that would address Dillon’s concerns and uphold MAX project objectives.
The concluded design resulted in a win-win for both the City and Dillon. The new design resolves Dillon’s
redevelopment concerns, and provides the City with exclusive and shared parking that functions in a greatly
improved manner and is more proximate to the station. Additionally, the new design provides the same
number of exclusive use parking spots and two additional shared parking spots (the new design does not
require a separate drive aisle and allows for a more efficient parking configuration).
In short, the alternative design shifts the exclusive parking south, off of existing City owned property and
locates it on Dillon property that is immediately adjacent to the MAX station. Similarly, the shared parking is
also shifted south, and would be located across the drive isle from the exclusive parking (also on Dillon owned
property). Please refer to Attachment 2, showing the acquisitions needed for the original proposed alignment
versus those that are required by the earlier alternative.
MAX Project Staff and Dillon are in agreement on price and terms with regard to the real estate transactions
that is necessary for the design alternative and is presently working to conclude a purchase agreement that
includes those terms. A key aspect of the negotiated alternative is for the City to convey the unused portion of
the 1-acre parcel previously acquired from BNSF Railway Company to Dillon in exchange for Dillon conveying

to the City a parcel of property immediately adjacent to the station.
Authorization to convey the City Property allows the City to reach a voluntary agreement with Dillon and avoid
the prospects of having to pursue the necessary property interests via eminent domain, likely be more costly
for the City.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
The City originally acquired the railroad property in 2012 at a purchase price of approximately $7.50/sq ft. The
proposed conveyance is based on a rate of $8.40/sq ft.
Authorization to convey the aforementioned City Property allows the City to reach a voluntary agreement with
the property owner and avoid the prospects of having to pursue the necessary property interests via eminent
domain, likely be more costly for the City.

negotiations with the City regarding the development of the MAX station located on the Dillon
property at the approximate crossing of the MAX system at Drake Road; and

would allow MAX customers to park at a location much closer to the bus stop than if the one-
acre tract acquired from BNSF Railway Company was used for that purpose; and
WHEREAS, Dillon is supportive of locating the parking near the bus stop in exchange
for the City’s conveyance to Dillon of the 12,391 square foot parcel along the west side of the

SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 064, 2014, Authorizing the Transfer of $2,000 000 in Existing Capital
Appropriations from the Northwest Trunk Sewer Expansion Wastewater Capital Project to a New Capital
Project for the Construction of a Sewer Interceptor on North Shields Street.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to transfer funds previously appropriated for a northwest trunk sewer extension to
be used for the construction of a similar project on North Shields Street. The proposed project will serve a
similar purpose of environmental stewardship by removing a significant number of properties from individual
septic systems and leach fields.
Larimer County is currently planning on the reconstruction of Shields Street north of the Poudre River in 2015
to coincide with the bridge replacement project. Staff has met with the County Engineering department and
will be able to coordinate the two projects to minimize the length of time the area would be impacted by
construction, if the two projects were to be done independently.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of this Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Some areas north of Fort Collins within the Growth Management Area (GMA) and within the City’s accepted
wastewater service territory currently do not have access to any sewer service lines.
The Northwest Trunk Sewer Expansion project was proposed in the early 1990s to add additional sewer
capacity from Taft Hill Road to the northwest for the area around the Town of Laporte. Later studies showed
that the amount of inflow and infiltration was less than previously assumed and some of the proposed
development was not going to happen. Existing sewer capacity has been sufficient over the years and the
funds were never reallocated to needed projects until now.
The Larimer County Health Department has determined that many of the properties along North US 287 have
failing Individual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS - commonly known as septic systems). These properties
are both residential and commercial such as Jax Farm & Ranch or the implement dealer. The County Health
Department is working to create a local improvement district in that area to fund and construct a local sewer
collection system that could then be connected to the City’s collection system and improve the entire area.
The construction of a sewer interceptor line extension along Shields Street north to US 287 will provide that
sanitary sewer service connection to the area and allow the elimination of many ISTS and greatly improve the
environmental health of a large area in the Poudre River Basin.
Packet Pg. 101
Agenda Item 7
Item # 7 Page 2
All final connections will remain the responsibility of the benefitting properties and Sewer Plant Investment
Fees will be required at time of connection.
Larimer County is preparing to reconstruct Shields Street from the new Poudre River Bridge north to Willox
Street in 2015. The County Roads department has recognized the importance of this project to its residents
and agreed to coordinate its construction and road closures to accommodate this project, provided the City
does not create significant delays to the schedule to contracts already in place.
This project is a great example of multi-agency cooperation to the benefit of the larger Fort Collins and Larimer
County community.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
These funds were currently appropriated for a similar project that was later determined to not be necessary. It
is anticipated that this project will not have any impact on future rates or budgets.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The project will significantly improve the groundwater quality in the area. This groundwater has a direct
connection to the Poudre River and therefore will have a positive impact on that as well.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its April 17, 2014 meeting, the Water Board expressed unanimous support for the re-appropriation of funds
and for the proposed project.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Public outreach will begin this summer with the preliminary design and be coordinated with the County’s road
reconstruction project.
The Larimer County Health department has already begun stakeholder discussion to determine the extent of
the need and the public support.

Budget Re-appropriation to Fund North Shields Sewer Interceptor Construction
(Attachments available upon request).
Mr. Haukaas presented information on this item. The purpose of this item is to re-appropriate
funds previously approved for a northwest trunk sewer extension to be used for the construction
of a similar project on North Shields Street.
Background
Mr. Haukaas presented a map showing the Sewer District Service Areas. Unserved areas north of
the City include the area along US 287 near Jax, a neighborhood to the south of US 287, and the
area along Shields Street north of the Poudre River. Every property is on an individual septic
system. The Larimer County Health Department approached Utilities about providing sewer
service to these areas. They are working with the properties to create an Improvement District.
The most feasible connection is on the Northwest Trunk near Shields Street.
There is no Utility obligation; however, this area has recently been accepted into the service
territory. Staff feels there will be an environmental benefit in removing the septic systems from
the Poudre River watershed where possible. Existing capital funds could be redirected. A
conceptual project in the 1990’s to address future development and inflow and infiltration issues
to expand capacity northwest to Laporte did not happen. Further study showed this project was
not necessary and $2 million was appropriated but has been unused since.
Proposed Re-appropriation
Use the $2 million sitting in reserves to construct a new Sewer Interceptor from the south
side of the Poudre River north to US 287.
There will be Plant Investment Fees (PIF) from the development.
Larimer County Support and Coordination
Larimer County is planning to replace the Shields Street Bridge in January 2015.
Shields Street from the new bridge to Willox Lane will be reconstructed in Spring 2015.
Larimer County is very supportive and willing to coordinate the projects.
Staff will request City Council approval for the re-appropriation in May.
Highlights from the discussion:
A board member inquired if grant money is available through the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). Mr. Haukaas stated state grant money is available. Larimer
County is pursuing these resources.
A board member inquired about the timing of the project. Mr. Haukaas stated the project
will be voted on during the Fall 2014 regular election.
A board member inquired about the land use code regarding new developments and the
sewer system. Mr. Haukaas stated new developments will be required to connect to the
sewer system once it is in place.
A board member inquired if there is a good relationship between the Larimer County
Health Department and the residents living in the area. Mr. Haukaas feels there is a good
relationship between these two parties.
A board member inquired as to how much of the $2 million staff expects to spend. Mr.
Haukaas stated rough estimates are at $1.8 – $2 million.

A board member inquired how often the septic systems are tested. Mr. Haukaas does not
know this exact number.
A board member inquired if any new developments are planned in the area. Staff is not
aware of any new developments; however, there is the possibility of new developments in
the future.
A board member inquired about a provision in the code that required the City to require a
property owner to connect to the sewer system even if their septic system was functioning
properly. Mr. Haukaas stated a property owner may be required by code to connect to the
sewer system if such a public sewer is within 400 feet of the property line (reference City
Code Section 26-236).
A board member inquired about the cost for connecting to a sewer system. Mr. Haukaas
stated this depends on the particular property, and if it is single service.
A board member inquired about water service in the area. Mr. Haukaas stated there are
several water providers in the area.
A board member inquired how wastewater rates will be calculated for the area. Mr.
Haukaas stated there is a provision for properties on a well. Also, the water service
providers have metered service.
A board member asked for clarification on the re-appropriation of $2 million. Is this only
to address the potential water quality issues on the Poudre River and the associated
environmental impacts? Specifically, will there be payback on this investment? Mr.
Haukaas stated there will be payback because every connection will have to pay a PIF.
Also, the investment costs can be recouped.
A board member inquired about the types of properties in the area. Mr. Haukaas stated
the area is a mix of residential and commercial properties.
Chairperson Malers invited a comment from an audience member. The individual
inquired about sewer connections for properties along the Northwest Trunk if their septic
system fails. Are these properties required to connect to the sewer system? Mr. Haukaas
stated these properties would have to weigh the costs of connecting versus upgrading
their septic system since they would pay a PIF and the cost to connect. Mr. Haukaas
stated community outreach is being planned for the area to address these types of
questions. The audience member also inquired about the unused funds. Does staff feel
there will be pushback from Laporte property owners regarding this since the money was
allocated for a specific purpose? Mr. Haukaas stated new technologies have allowed
other fixes and the existing sewer capacity has been sufficient.
A board member inquired about other uses for the $2 million. Mr. Haukaas stated the
funds can be used to accelerate other improvements in the system; however, the funds
can only be allocated for wastewater improvements.
Discussion on the motion: There was no discussion on the motion.
Vote on the motion: It passed unanimously.
Board Member Ortman moved that the Water Board recommend that City Council
approve re-appropriation of funds from the existing capital budget for the construction
of a Sewer Interceptor on North Shields Street. Board Member McKinley seconded the
motion.

City Council
STAFF
Jessica Ping-Small, Revenue and Project Manager
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 065, 2014, Amending Chapter 15, Article XIV of the City Code Regarding
Outdoor Vendors.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to amend Chapter 15 of the City Code regarding Outdoor Vendors with two minor
amendments to further support the outdoor vending community. In July 2012, City Council adopted new
outdoor vendor regulations based on a comprehensive study completed by staff. Since the inception of the
new regulations, staff has been monitoring the activity and working with the mobile vending community to
address opportunities for improvement to the Code. Staff is recommending two updates to address the
opportunities.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In early 2012, staff completed a comprehensive study of the existing Outdoor Vendor regulations including
extensive public outreach and review of peer city regulations. The outcome of the study was the adoption of
new regulations by City Council in July of 2012. The changes that were adopted addressed the following
primary themes in Chapter 15 of the Municipal Code and Article 3-5 of the Land Use Code:
City Code
Ability for vendors to operate in multiple locations and within public streets
More efficient licensing time frames - semi-annual and annual license options
Operating requirements
Clear definition of outdoor vendor types.
Land Use Code
Location, type, signage and operation regulations
Accessory use added to all non-neighborhood zoning districts
New general definition for outdoor vendors.
Since the inception of the new regulations, staff has worked closely with the outdoor vending community to
ensure compliance and ongoing success. Overall the new regulations have been received very positively. Staff
has received fewer than 5 complaints over the course of two years and there are currently over 25 outdoor
vendors licensed to do business in the City of Fort Collins.
Packet Pg. 107
Agenda Item 8
Item # 8 Page 2
During the course of the past two years, staff has received feedback from the vendor community regarding
possible adjustments to the regulations to further improve the opportunities to vend citywide. The feedback
centered on two specific areas:
Current City Code limit of 4 mobile food trucks and 4 push carts (total of 8 vendors) during special
vending events on private commercial property
Current City Code limit of 1 vendor on private commercial property at a time
Additionally, vendors have also communicated a desire to hold large round-up or rally type of events on a
regular basis. Two options currently exist to accommodate these events: Special Event Permit issued by
Police Services and Parks Permit issued by the Parks Department.
Staff held two stakeholder meetings in March 2014 to solicit additional feedback and review possible solutions
to the current limitations. Based on the stakeholder meetings and additional research, staff is proposing to
address the concerns in two phases:
Phase 1
Time frame - Now:
Amend Chapter 15 of the City Code to remove the limitation of 4 mobile food trucks and 4 push carts
during Special Vending events and allow 8 outdoor vendors of any type.
o This amendment supports the vendors request to have 8 mobile food trucks at one time during
Special Vending events on private commercial property.
o Staff supports this change and does not consider it an encroachment on of the definition of
Accessory Use in the Land Use Code.
Amend Chapter 15 of the City Code to allow 2 vendors on private commercial property at a time.
o This amendment supports the desire of vendors and private commercial property owners to
have more than one food option and/or complimentary options such as a hot food truck and a
cold food or dessert truck.
o Staff supports this change and does not consider it an encroachment on of the definition of
Accessory Use in the Land Use Code.
Staff is working with the vendors to organize some large onetime events in Community Parks
throughout the city - no Code change required.
Phase 2
Time frame - Next 12 months:
Consider amending the Land Use Code to include “Outdoor Vendors” as a land use type similar to
Farmers’ Markets. The Planning Division has added this item to its list of possible amendments for
2015.
Continue to research possible opportunities for vendors to hold large events on a regular basis.
Potential solutions include:
o Additional amendments to the City and Land Use Code
o Utilization of City property in the downtown area
Packet Pg. 108
Agenda Item 8
Item # 8 Page 3
Staff is proposing the phased approach because it provides immediate low impact solutions to accommodate
the 2014 summer season and provides additional time to research the long term opportunities and impacts of
expanding the City Code and Land Use Code.
Summary
Staff is recommending City Council adopt the ordinance to amend Chapter 15 of the City Code to allow:
Remove the Special Vending limitation of 4 mobile food trucks and 4 push carts and allow 8
vendors of any type as defined in Chapter 15 of the City Code.
Two vendors on private commercial property at one time - Code currently only allows one vendor.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Staff held stakeholder meetings on March 25 and 31 to solicit additional feedback and review possible
solutions to the current limitations. The stakeholder meetings were very well attended and included the
majority of the licensed mobile vendors, members of the Downtown Development Authority and
representatives from private industry including local breweries.
Additional outreach will be conducted as part of Phase 2 of the review.

ORDINANCE NO. 065, 2014
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AMENDING CHAPTER 15, ARTICLE XIV OF THE
CODE OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS REGARDING
OUTDOOR VENDORS
WHEREAS, on July 17, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 058, 2012,
making numerous amendments to Article XIV of Chapter 15 of the City Code, to update and

“Outdoor Vendors Code”); and
WHEREAS, the 2012 amendments were made to address the growing trend and demand
in Fort Collins for mobile food trucks and other outdoor vendors; and
WHEREAS, since these amendments were adopted, City staff has worked closely with
the outdoor vending community to ensure compliance with the Outdoor Vendors Code and the

four outdoor vendors of any single vendor type, such as mobile food truck vendors or pushcart
vendors, can make up the maximum of eight outdoor vendors allowed for a temporary event
conducted under a special vending license; and
WHEREAS, removing this limitation would allow any combination of outdoor vendors
not exceeding a maximum of eight to serve a licensed event; and
WHEREAS, the second amendment would increase from one to two the number of
outdoor vendors that can operate at one time on a parcel of land when not operating under a
special vending license or under a license for special events; and

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 6, 2014
City Council
STAFF
Laurie Kadrich, Community Development & Neighborhood Services Mgr
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 066, 2014, Amending Chapter 2, Article II, Division 3 of the City Code
Pertaining to Appeals Procedure.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to further clarify and incorporate process improvements relating to the procedure for
the hearing of appeals by City Council. Staff contacted members of the public who expressed concerns about
the current process and provided them with copies of the proposed changes. No suggested changes were
received. Staff also met with the Board of Realtors legislative committee to review the proposed changes.
Comments from the committee were focused more on the ease in which an appeal can be filed rather than the
specific changes proposed in this Ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
During 2011, an extensive update and public outreach process was conducted regarding the procedures for
hearing appeals to the City Council. During 2012-13, staff and Council processed a number of appeals using
the 2011 amended appeal process. In checking with others affected by the new process, staff is
recommending changes to further clarify portions of the Ordinance and incorporate process improvements.
None of these changes pertain to any section of the appeal process that previously caused concern for the
public during the 2011 update.
Summary of the changes proposed:
Clarify the definition of new evidence. This change would clarify that outlining or underlining certain
portions of writings or graphics presented to the original decision maker does not constitute new
evidence.
Clarify when a person or association is a party-in-interest. This would clarify that a “party-in-interest”
includes any organization that appeared before the original decision maker.
Clarify that “location, character, and extent” reviews conducted by the Planning and Zoning Board are
not appealable to the City Council. There are restrictive time frames on when a final decision needs to
be made on these reviews, usually within 30-60 days after plans have been submitted. Also, the
Board’s recommendation for approval or denial can be overturned by the governing body’s board with
a 2/3rds majority vote. Therefore, even if the Planning and Zoning Board’s determination was
appealed to the Council, the application could still go forward if a decision was not final within the

Agenda Item 9
Item # 9 Page 2
Allow additional grounds for failure to conduct a fair hearing .This change would enable an appellant to
assert that he/she was denied a fair hearing because the decision maker had a bias against the
appellant by reason of a conflict of interest or other close business, personal or social relationship that
interfered with the decision maker’s independence of judgment.
Remove sections of the City Code that require the City Attorney to review notices of appeal for any
obvious defects in form or substance. This review has become problematic from a timing standpoint
because it requires adding time for the review and any re-submittal. Since the City Attorney cannot
provide legal advice to the appellant, and since there are no circumstances under which staff could
deny an appeal, the review is of limited value.
Allow for an administrative remand for rehearing. This change directly relates to an appeal that was
filed in which the City did not have a verbatim transcript of the hearing. There was no mechanism for
anyone to remand the hearing back to the Planning and Zoning Board other than to proceed forward
with an appeal. This recommendation would allow for the automatic re-hearing if a verbatim transcript
of the proceedings does not exist and cannot be produced.
Failure to receive notice. This change would clarify that failing to receive notice does not invalidate the
appeal process. This is consistent with other similar notice requirements and was raised as a concern
during a previous appeal. Making this change would provide clarity to any party-in-interest on this
point.
Allow for new evidence to be submitted under certain conditions by staff members or by any party-in-
interest opposed to the appeal. When a notice of appeal alleges that the decision maker considered
false or misleading evidence or that the decision maker was biased, and the appellant offers new
evidence on that subject, staff and the other parties-in-interest should also be permitted to provide
information to the Council to respond to the appellant’s written material. They are unable to do so
under the current code unless a Councilmember asks for that information. This recommended change
would allow for the Council to have written materials ahead of a hearing from all sides of an appeal on
this kind of issue rather than waiting until the hearing. This change also expands the exception to new
evidence to allow for the submission of new evidence in support of an allegation of bias.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Staff contacted members of the public who expressed concerns about the current process and provided them
with copies of the proposed changes. No suggested changes were received. Staff also met with the Board of
Realtors legislative committee to review the proposed changes. Comments from the committee were focused
more on the ease in which an appeal can be filed rather than the specific changes proposed in this Ordinance.

argument on the merits of an appeal shall include, but not be limited to, the complexity of
the issues raised in the notice of appeal, the length of the record on appeal, the potential
impact that the determination of the appeal may have on the community at large and the
number of parties-in-interest who wish to address the Council with regard to the merits of
the appeal.
(c) Prior to hearing the presentation of argument on the merits of the appeal, the

introduced into the appeal hearing may, at any time during the hearing, interrupt the
proceedings and object to the Council's consideration of such evidence. If such an
objection is made, Tthe Mayor shall rule on such the objection, after consultation with the
City Attorney if necessary, and the evidence shall either be received and considered by
the Council or disregarded by the Council in accordance with the ruling of the Mayor;
provided, however, that the Mayor's ruling on this or any other procedural issue raised
during the course of the hearing may be overridden by a majority of the Council. The
failure of a party-in-interest to make such an objection shall constitute a waiver of the

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 6, 2014
City Council
STAFF
Lance Smith, Strategic Financial Planning Manager
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 067, 2014, Making Certain Amendments to Chapter 26 of the City Code
Pertaining to Electric Rates, Fees and Charges Associated with the Provision of Net-Metered Service.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to allow for certain operational efficiencies to be realized by Utilities for the
residential net-metering program without negatively impacting the financial benefits of the program for
participants. The current accounting process for net-metering customers is manually-intensive. With the
deployment of the advanced metering infrastructure for all residential customers, it is now possible to provide
these customers with monthly information on their energy production and to implement an automated monthly
settlement process rather than the current annually settled process. In order to ensure that no additional
financial burden is placed on existing net-metering customers, it is necessary to make the current implicit credit
for distribution facilities charges explicit in the City Code through the current rate Ordinance being presented.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Currently each month, the meter readings for net-metering customers, also called customer-generators who
operate solar energy collection equipment on their properties, are manually reviewed to determine if the
amount of energy produced by these customers exceeds the amount of energy from the distribution system
consumed by these customers. If the amount of energy produced exceeds the amount of energy consumed
from the distribution system in a given month, the amount appearing on the customer’s monthly bill is set to
zero and the net energy production is tracked in a spreadsheet as a credit to be applied toward the next
month’s bill.
In addition to this monthly manual review and adjustment to the customer bill, there is an annual settlement
process which is also manually performed. The annual settlement results in a credit appearing on the net-
metering customer’s next bill after it is manually entered into the billing system. This is administratively
burdensome and inefficient, and it is beneficial to the Utility to eliminate these manual processes, if possible.
With the ability from the advanced metering infrastructure to track net energy consumption and net energy
production on a 15-minute interval basis, it is now possible to eliminate the annual settlement and the monthly
manual processes associated with net-metering; corrections can now be automatically made monthly instead.
All programmatic changes required to the billing software to accommodate this automation have already been
completed and tested.
Net-metering customers will see more timely credit for their net energy production with the proposed change.
They will also receive information on their monthly utility bill about their net energy production. As described
above, the Utility also benefits from this change through the elimination of several manual processes. As such,
this change results in no negative financial impact to the net-metering customers.
Packet Pg. 125
Agenda Item 10
Item # 10 Page 2
However, because there are some limitations as to how the billing system could be modified, it is not possible
to precisely replicate the annual settlement process through a monthly process. In particular, it is not possible
to have negative values entered into the billing system as would be the case for net energy production that is
greater than net energy consumption. Nor is it possible to meter separately the actual energy production and
actual energy consumption with a single meter. Although in any given moment the net-metering customer is
either producing more energy than they are consuming or consuming more energy than they are producing,
the data extracted from the meter are done so on a 15-minute interval basis. The net energy consumed and
net energy produced during each 15-minute interval are tracked separately.
The result of tracking the net energy consumed and produced is that, in order to not adversely impact the net-
metering customers financially, it is necessary to make explicit the distribution facilities charge credit for these
customer-generators, which is currently being given implicitly through the monthly carryover process.
The distribution facilities charge in an incremental fee paid by all electric utilities customers to compensate the
Utility for ongoing system facilities expenses. The amount of this charge is currently credited back to net
metering customers to recognize the lack of impact they have made on the City’s electric system by generating
their own power.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
A small incremental benefit would be seen by net-metering customers through this Ordinance. This issue may
need to be revisited in the future as more and more net-metering customers connect to the system and erode
the distribution facilities revenue to the Utility.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its April 3, 2014 meeting, the Energy Board unanimously recommended adoption of this Ordinance.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Notice of the proposed electric rate changes was published in the Coloradoan on April 13, 2014, a mailing was
sent to all city electric customers residing outside of the city limits in accordance with state requirements, and
was posted to the City Clerk’s website under public notices.

Rooftop Solar Net Metering Rate Ordinance
(Attachment available upon request)
Strategic Financial Planning Manager Lance Smith provided information on a proposed change to City
Code related to the management of net metering. With the deployment of advanced metering
infrastructure to all residential customers, it is now possible to implement an automated monthly
settlement process for customer-generators. In order to ensure that no additional financial burden is
placed on existing net-metering customers, it is necessary to make the credit for distribution facilities
charges explicit in the City Code. This change will also reduce the administrative burden of manual
reviews involved with net metering and provides a more timely credit to the customer-generator. The
customer-generator will see a financial credit on the monthly bill which will be applied to other Utility
charges.
Mr. Smith provided a “right sized” example, i.e. the customer has installed the appropriate amount of
photovoltaic production to meet their annual energy consumption (generally). In any given month, the
customer may produce excess energy or consume additional energy from the distribution system. With
AMI, Utilities can now monitor both excess energy and additional consumption on the distribution
system. On a monthly basis, excess energy is “banked” in a spreadsheet.
Board discussion:
A board member asked for clarification: The buyer of the electricity is paying for the distribution
facilities charge. Mr. Smith confirmed that it could not be separated before in the system.

If rates change, does staff have to go back to Council? Yes. Going forward, it becomes part of what
will be updated on the annual rate ordinance.
With consideration of time-of-use rates, could this change again? Yes, in terms of how much we credit
to the customer-generator and how we credit the funds. Our philosophy that we wouldn’t increase the
charge to the customer-generator will remain consistent.
Would a customer be selling and buying at a time-of-use rate? This is something to be discussed, but it
would seem reasonable. Mr. Catanach noted that, as new systems come on board, we’re not paying
customers for our distribution system. The energy is purchased at the retail rate. The intent for
implementing the net metering charges was partially as an incentive, recognizing Council’s values, and
Utilities wanting to help facilitate adoption.
(Scenario: Customer has photovoltaic [solar] on the roof of a single residence). If the City does not
reimburse them for that part of the bill, what does it cost? Mr. Smith noted it would cost about $90
annually. Why would the City not stop reimbursing customer for that fee now? We’re not quite ready
and don’t think Council would support it at this time. We set up the current system and manual
processes based on the meters we had at the time. Now the volume is larger and growing steadily every
year; this is an opportunity to fully automate the process.
How many systems are right-sized? Is there a particular adverse effect if not right-sized? There are
about 15-20 customers who receive nominal checks each year. Yes, there could be an adverse effect,
but we have capped the system size.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 6, 2014
City Council
STAFF
Lance Smith, Strategic Financial Planning Manager
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 068, 2014, Clarifying Ordinance No. 028, 2014, Relating to Wastewater Rates.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to clarify the City Council’s intent in adopting Ordinance No. 028, 2014, in order to
ensure there is no confusion regarding the correct wastewater rates for 2014. Ordinance No. 150, 2013
established new wastewater rates for all customers to be effective January 1, 2014. These rates were
implemented as intended for all bills on or after January 1, 2014. Ordinance No. 028 added language to
certain sections of the City Code regarding how wastewater rates are charged during construction of multi-
family residential developments. Because there is potential for confusion and misrepresentation of the City
Council’s intent from the way Ordinance No. 028, 2014, as finally published, represented Section 26-280 of the
City Code, this Ordinance is intended to clarify the City Council’s intent and ensure correct codification of the
2014 wastewater rates.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of this Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In the fall of 2013, Ordinance No. 150, 2013 was adopted by the City Council reflecting the rate class specific
adjustments resulting from the updated cost of service study and an overall 3% increase in operating revenue
for wastewater services effective January 1, 2014. All customer bills generated on or after that date have
included the 2014 rates as reflected in Ordinance No. 150, 2013.
Ordinance No, 028, 2014, adopted on Second Reading on March 4, 2014 and effective ten days later, added
language to Section 26-280 of the City Code in order to state which of the wastewater charges apply to
wastewater service provided during the construction of multi-family residential developments. The Ordinance
clearly indicated a single sentence to be added to the explanation of the wastewater rate applicable to
customer category “C”, clearly delineated and marked on First Reading of the Ordinance, and the City
Council’s intent in adopting the Ordinance is clear from the Agenda Item Summary and other related
documents and the recitals and other content of the Ordinance. However, the way the Ordinance in its
finalized form represented the remainder of Section 26-280 has created confusion as to the Council’s intent
related to the table of wastewater service charges. That is because Section 26-280 contains the full table of
charges for wastewater service, and that table did not yet reflect the adjustments made effective January 1,
2014 that were enacted in Ordinance No. 150, 2013. This Ordinance has been proposed for adoption in order
to ensure that the correct wastewater rates for 2014 are accurately codified, this Ordinance.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
This Ordinance is necessary to avoid confusion as to 2014 wastewater rates, and ensures that Utility revenues
remain at the level anticipated during budgeting.

Jon Haukaas, Water Engr Field Operations Mgr
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 028, 2014, Amending Chapter 26 of the City Code to Clarify the Application of
Wastewater Rates to Certain Residential Services.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to revise the City Code concerning the classification of wastewater users
and to revise rates for wastewater service charges during the period of construction.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City Code currently states that wastewater service charges are not applicable during the initial
construction period. This provision dates from an earlier practice when water meters were not set
until just before the Certificate of Occupancy (CO) was issued and all water service during the
construction period was billed as a fixed amount on the building permit, regardless of the length of
construction. Ordinance No. 138, 2011 eliminated unmetered construction water rates for all services
greater than 1-inch and initiated a monthly water charge for ¾-inch and 1-inch water services.
Construction sites requiring the larger meters do not receive water service until the meter is set, at
which time it is also appropriate to start billing for wastewater service. However, many of the larger
services are needed for multifamily construction and the characteristics of the wastewater during the
construction period are more like commercial than multifamily until the CO is issued. The multi-family
wastewater rate, which includes a fixed charge for each dwelling unit, would not appropriate during
construction. The Ordinance is intended to resolve these inconsistencies.
The proposed Code changes are as follows:
Delete the Code provision that states wastewater service charges are not applicable during
construction.
Insert a provision that monthly wastewater service rates will commence when the water meter
is installed.
Clarify that wastewater services billed on the flat wastewater rate for single family and duplex
customers with a well or cistern in lieu of metered water service will commence when the
certificate of occupancy is issued.
State that Wastewater user Category D: Minor Residential User applies to multifamily buildings
during the construction period prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy.

Agenda Item 8
Item # 8 Page 2
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACT
Wastewater charges will be charged earlier in during the construction process to more accurately
reflect the level of service provided. The proposed changes do not significantly impact Wastewater
revenues.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
This change should not have environmental impacts.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Staff discussed this issue with the Water Board Chair. It was agreed that this is an operational issue
that does not rise to the Policy level for the Water Board to review.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
All charges are explained to the owners and contractors when permits are issued.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 6, 2014
City Council
STAFF
Jon Haukaas, Water Engr Field Operations Mgr
Roger Buffington, Water Utility Development Review Manager
SUBJECT
Items Related to Common Private Service Lines for Water and Wastewater Service.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 069, 2014, Amending Article III of Chapter 26 of the City Code to Allow
Common Private Service Lines for Water Service in Certain Circumstances.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 070, 2014, Amending Article IV of Chapter 26 of the City Code to Allow
Common Private Service Lines for Wastewater Service in Certain Circumstances.
The purpose of this item is to amend Chapter 26 of the City Code to revise the requirements for how separate
water and sewer services are provided to individual properties.
The City Code currently requires each individual single family dwelling to connect directly to a City water or
sewer main. Current high density development practices can create situations of multiple long service lines
underground congesting the provided easements through the entire green space of a property and impacting
the ability to plant trees or install other surface features. Ordinance No. 069, 2014, would allow for a “Common
Private Water Service Line” that is owned and maintained by a homeowner’s association, or other legal entity,
and serve up to 6 individual properties. Ordinance No. 070, 2014, would allow for a “Common Private
Wastewater Service Line” that is owned and maintained by a homeowner’s association, or other legal entity,
and serve up to 6 individual properties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City Code presently requires that each building have separate water and sewer services. For
developments with higher densities such as townhome or condominium buildings in which each unit is owned
by a separate entity, this requirement creates extremely congested “utility corridors”.
The extension of a City-owned service line is an option, but would require an easement dedication to the City
and could add a significant of difficult to access infrastructure to the City system.
It is not uncommon in current national development practices for a common legal entity, such as a home
owner’s association, to take on the responsibility for commonly owned infrastructure that benefits its members.
Therefore, the preferred alternative requested by most developers in recent years is to modify Chapter 26 of
the City Code to include the following exception for water and sewer service:
Packet Pg. 151
Agenda Item 12
Item # 12 Page 2
Notwithstanding the provisions requiring individual service lines for each building, the Utilities
Executive Director may, after review and approval of the related plans and specifications,
authorize the service of more than one (1) property by a single service line, provided that each of
the following requirements is met:
1. The properties are single-family attached dwellings on separate platted lots as defined in
the Land Use Code.
2. The combined water use of the properties shall not exceed the capacity of the common
private service line.
3. No more than six (6) single-family attached dwellings shall be connected to a common
private service line.
4. The common private service line shall include a separate branch line to each single-family
attached property that includes a curb stop meeting the requirements in the City
Development Construction Standards. These private service curb stops must be exterior
to the dwellings, within a utility easement and readily accessible and operable by City
personnel. The private service curb stop shall be the City’s control point for that single-
family attached dwelling.
5. The common private service line beyond the City curb stop and all branch service lines
including the private service curb stops shall be owned and maintained by a legal entity
representing all of owners of the properties served by the common private service line,
such as a homeowner’s association.
6. A written declaration of covenants in a form satisfactory to Utilities shall be recorded
against the title to each and every property served by a common private service line
imposing responsibility for operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the common
private service line and establishing the right of the City to recover any costs incurred by
the City in the event of a failure by the responsible parties to carry out those obligations.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
The proposed changes to the City Code would provide an option for water and sewer service to high density
individually owned properties. The City would still development fees, such as plant investment fees,
commensurate with the service provided. In addition, this option would reduce the amount of small individual
service infrastructure required for the development.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
This revision to the City Code would help maintain the longevity of the street improvements in the
neighborhoods as well as reducing the constraints on vegetation plantings by shrinking the area taken up by
multiple underground utilities.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its April 17, 2014 meeting, the Water Board expressed unanimous support for the change.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
During the past several years, the Water Utility has received a number of requests and input from developers,
property owners, and contractors through the Conceptual Review process and other contacts requesting
alternative development construction standards that address this issue. This proposal is in response to this
public request and interest.

Code Change to Allow Private Common Service Lines for Water and Wastewater
(Attachments available upon request).
Water Engineering and Field Services Operations Manager Jon Haukaas presented information
on this item. Staff recommends amending Chapter 26 of the City Code to revise the requirements
for how separate water and sewer services are provided to individual properties. The current
code requires individual service lines for each building. The proposed change would allow for a
“Common Private Service Line” that would be owned and maintained by a Homeowner’s
Association (HOA) and could serve up to 6 individual properties.
Mr. Haukaas showed diagrams for the different options:
Multiple service lines as currently defined in the City Code
Extension of City-Owned Mains
“Common Private Service Lines” owned and maintained by a common legal entity such
as a HOA
Proposed Code Language
Change the conditions under which the Executive Director may authorize multiple services:
City separation valve at the right of way line
Limit of 6 single family attached dwellings
Separate shut off valves outside (curb stops)
The common private service line beyond the City curb stop and all branch service lines
including the private service curb stops shall be owned and maintained by the HOA.
Staff supports this proposed code change, especially with the increase of higher-density
developments in Fort Collins.
Highlights from the discussion:
A board member inquired if staff has considered line diameter and length and the impact
of residual chlorine. Mr. Haukaas stated this can be designed for based on the number of
service lines required.
A board member inquired about the conversion of an apartment building to condos and
the potential change to the infrastructure. Mr. Haukaas referred to City Code Section 26-
94 requiring individual service lines for each building. No subsequent division of
ownership shall be permitted until separate service lines have been installed to each
building.
A board member inquired about the typical number of service lines in Fort Collins. Mr.
Haukaas stated this is typically driven by the lot size.
A board member inquired about the possibility of using this approach for detached
dwellings. Mr. Haukaas stated this would require additional land-use controls.
A board member inquired about the advantage of increasing the number from 6 to 8
individual properties. Mr. Haukaas stated staff feels 6 is a manageable number.
A board member inquired how HOAs deal with failures. Mr. Haukaas stated HOA
management has to make decisions regarding this in each particular situation. Annual
HOA dues can cover this type of event, or a special assessment may be required.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 6, 2014
City Council
STAFF
Sheri Langenberger, Development Review Manager
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 071, 2014, Vacating Portions of Ziegler Road as Dedicated in Book R at Page
118 of the Larimer County records.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to vacate the portions of Ziegler Road right-of-way that are no longer necessary or
desirable to retain for public street purposes. The portions to be vacated are those portions that were
dedicated in 1882 and not rededicated with the Fossil Lake PUD First Filing plat and are portions of right-of-
way that are not needed for the existing street system.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 1882, a 60-foot right-of-way for Ziegler Road was dedicated to Larimer County (thirty feet on each side of
the section line). In 1999, when the Fossil Lake PUD First Filing plat, which platted the land along the east
side of the section line, was approved by the County and filed, this plat did not show the existing Ziegler Road
right-of-way and only platted the right-of-way for Ziegler Road that was needed, based on the street layout
approved with that project. The area of this subdivision, including the Ziegler Road right-of-way proposed for
vacation, was annexed into the City in March 2002.
The discrepancy between the right-of-way dedicated in 1882 and the right-of-way dedicated in 1999 was
recently brought to the City’s attention. Because the right-of-way dedicated in 1882 still fully exists, there are
several outlots and parcels that have right-of-way crossing them. The east side of Ziegler Road adjacent to
this subdivision has been constructed (existing curb, gutter, parkway and sidewalk), and the City does not see
this changing. Therefore the additional right-of-way behind the existing sidewalk is not needed. Due to the
existence of Fossil Lake Reservoir, and the approved development plans in the area, Ziegler Road will not
extend south of Rock Park Drive so this existing right-of-way is not needed.
Utility and Drainage easements as identified on the plat will be retained as identified in the Ordinance across
all the outlots and parcels, except across Tract B, which is owned by the City.
Vacating public right-of-way is governed by City Code Section 23-115, which provides for an application and
review process prior to submission to the City Council for formal consideration. The process includes
notification and review of the request by potentially affected utility agencies, City staff, emergency service
providers, and affected property owners adjacent to the proposed right-of-way vacation. This review process
was followed.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
There are no financial impacts due to the vacation of this portion of right-of-way.
Packet Pg. 163
Agenda Item 13
Item # 13 Page 2
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
There will be no change to the land if these portions of right-of-way are vacated so there is no environmental
impact.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
A memorandum requesting input was sent to the utility providers, potentially impacted City departments and
adjacent property owners and feedback was received.

ORDINANCE NO. 071, 2014
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
VACATING PORTIONS OF ZIEGLER ROAD AS DEDICATED
IN BOOK R AT PAGE 118 OF THE LARIMER COUNTY RECORDS
WHEREAS, Book R, Page 118 of the Larimer County Records contains a dedication to
the public of right-of-way for Ziegler Road; and
WHEREAS, portions of that right-of-way are no longer necessary or desirable to retain
for street purposes and City staff is recommending that said portions be vacated; and
WHEREAS, City agencies, private utility companies, and affected property owners have
been contacted and have reported no objection to the proposed vacation, provided that a utility
easement and drainage easement is reserved by the City; and
WHEREAS, the rights of the residents of the City will not be prejudiced or injured by the
vacation of said street right-of-way.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS that those certain portions of the Ziegler Road street right-of-way described on
Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, are hereby vacated,
abated and abolished, reserving utility and drainage easements unto the City as more particularly
described on Exhibit “B”, provided however, that this vacation shall not take effect until this
Ordinance is recorded with the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder.
Introduced, considered favorably on first reading, and ordered published this 6th day of
May, A.D. 2014, and to be presented for final passage on the 20th day of May, A.D. 2014.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 6, 2014
City Council
STAFF
Andrew Gingerich, Civil Engineer
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 072, 2014 Vacating Right-of-Way as Dedicated on the Final Plats of Waterfield
P.U.D. First Filing and Waterfield P.U.D. Second Filing.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to vacate portions of right-of-way within Waterfield PUD First and Second Filings
that are no longer necessary or desirable to retain for street purposes. These locations are being replatted as
Waterfield Third Filing and proposing new rights-of-way to be dedicated, which was approved through an
Administrative Hearing on February 11, 2014.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 1999, the Final Plat of Waterfield PUD First Filing, located northwest of Vine Drive and Timberline Road,
platted lots for single family residential, a tract for Multi-family (Bull Run Apartments), and dedicated additional
right-of-way for Vine Drive and Timberline Road, as well as internal streets Merganser Drive, Garganey Drive,
Bufflehead Court, Black Scoter Court and Goslyn Court. Public Improvements for Waterfield PUD First Filing
were not completed, and the project has expired.
In 2000, the Final Plat for Waterfield PUD Second Filing, located northwest of Vine Drive and Merganser Drive,
platted lots for single family residential, tracts for public parks, a future school site, and dedicated additional
right-of-way for Vine Drive, as well as internal streets County Road 11 (Turnberry Road), Conifer Street,
Garganey Street, Mandarin Drive, Mandarin Court, Cape Teal Drive, Rosybill Drive, Shearwater Drive,
Muscovy Drive and Aleutian Drive. Public Improvements for Waterfield PUD Second Filing were not
completed, and the project has expired.
A proposed subdivision, Waterfield Third Filing intends to replat portions of Waterfield PUD First Filing, and all
of Waterfield PUD Second Filing, which was approved through Administrative Hearing on February 11, 2014.
Between the expiration of the existing filings, and the proposed third filing, the City adopted the Master Street
Plan that showed the new alignment of “New Vine Drive,” which bisects proposed Waterfield Third Filing. This
has caused the realignment of existing rights-of-way to meet the needs of the newly proposed streets.
Additionally, the Master Street Plan has removed County Road 11 (Turnberry Drive), downgraded existing
Vine Drive, and realigned portions of Timberline Road adjacent to the project, which has allowed for portions of
these rights-of-way to be vacated.
Portions of the rights-of-way to be vacated will be retained as utility easements, as explained on the attached
ordinance and shown on the exhibits.

meeting with their attorney, City staff, and the applicant that requested the vacation. The applicant is the only
other adjacent property owner.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 6, 2014
City Council
STAFF
Darin Atteberry, City Manager
Mike Beckstead, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT
Resolution 2014-032 Approving an Amendment to the Redevelopment and Reimbursement Agreement with
the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority, Walton Foothills Holdings VI, L.L.C. and the Foothills Metropolitan
District Regarding the Redevelopment of Foothills Mall.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to amend the Foothills Mall Redevelopment Agreement. The Developer has asked
to amend Section 3.1 - Conditions Precedent to Issuance of District Bonds of the Agreement to allow the Metro
District Bonds to be issued with 155k square feet of executed leases vs. the 240k square feet required in the
current agreement. The Developer is also asking for clarification to Section 4.3 - Construction of Residential
Component of Project: Affordable Housing concerning the period of time the Developer may be required to
make payments to the City if there is a delay in the completion of the residential units and Section 3.2(c) (now
Section 3.2(g)) - Provisions to be Included in District Bond Documents concerning the order in which the
Reserve and the Supplemental Reserve would be utilized.
Six additional refinements to the Agreement are recapped below to address concerns raised by Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution;
1. Staff recommends approving the modifications and structure of bond fund releases in Section 3.1.
2. Staff recommends approving the requested clarification to Section 4.3 and 3.2(c).
3. Staff recommends approving the four additional refinements to the Agreement
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Attachment 1 is the Agenda Item Summary from April 15th, concerning the details behind the modifications
requested for Sections 3.1 and 4.3.
Amendment to Section 3.2
The current redevelopment agreement details two unique reserve accounts that will be established as part of
the Metro District bond offering. The first, “Reserve”, is typical to bond transactions where 10% of the bond
proceeds are set aside in a reserve account. The Reserve is funded directly from bond proceeds and is
funded at the time the bonds close. The second, “Supplemental Reserve”, has been added as a credit
enhancement. The Supplemental Reserve is funded from revenues from the project and is built up over the
first few years of the project. Specifically, each year, if the combined pledged revenues exceed the bond
payment requirement, the excess is put into a Supplemental Reserve account by the Bond Trustee until the
Packet Pg. 202
Agenda Item 15
Item # 15 Page 2
Supplemental Reserve is fully funded at 10% of the initial bond value. The two reserves will each hold $7.2M
assuming a $72M bond offering for a combined total of $14.4M of reserves.
Section 3.2(c) - Provisions to be included in District Bond Documents within the original agreement (Section
3.2(g) in the proposed modification document) specifies that in the event there are insufficient revenues from
all sources to support the debt payments, the Reserve would be used first and the Supplemental Reserve
would be used second. Use of the Reserve to support debt payments would trigger various regulatory filings
on the part of the District and put the bonds in default.
The Supplemental Reserve was intended to be a credit enhancement to the bond offering and was designed to
provide a buffer to the Reserve in the event of insufficient revenues. As such, the Supplemental Reserve
should be used first to avoid default and regulatory filings associated with using the Reserve first. Using the
Reserve first negates the credit enhancement feature the Supplemental Reserve was designed to provide.
There is no anticipated adverse financial impact to the City with this clarification.
Additional Refinements
To further refine the agreement and address several concerns raised by Council, five additional modifications
have been discussed and agreed upon with the Developer since the April 15th Council discussion. These
changes are included in the attached proposed modifications.
1. Section 3.1(c) has been modified to require 120,000 vs. 90,000 square feet of tenants new to Fort Collins
except that the City Manager shall have the authority to deem this requirement has been met if the square
footage of tenants new to Fort Collins is between 90,000 and 120,000 square feet and the City Manager
has determined that it is in the best interest of the City to do so.
2. Section 3.2(c) has been added that requires a certificate of completion on the core and shell of the new
Sears building before the release of the fourth tranche funds.
3. Section 3.2(e) has been added that stipulates the Developer will not be reimbursed from bond proceeds for
expenditures to date on public improvements until the Developer has achieved at least 255,000 square
feet of executed leased space.
4. Section 4.1(a) has been modified to allow the City Manager or City Attorney to inspect and review
executed leases subject to confidentiality provisions contained in the individual leases. Developer will use
reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of retailers where such consent is required.
5. Sections 25.5 & 26 have been modified to clarify that the City Manager, in consultation with legal counsel,
has the authority to amend the agreement provided there is no change or adverse impact to the City’s
financial interests or substantial change to the scope or general character of the project.
6. Sections 4.7 & 5.1 have been modified to strengthen the agreement to ensure the PIF covenant remains in
place and the mill levy cap and debt limits defined in the Metro District Service Plan can be enforced.
Other minor revisions have also been made. All revisions are highlighted on Attachment 3.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Council directed staff to meet with boards and commissions to gather input and feedback on the proposed
changes to the agreement. The following meetings have occurred:
Staff met with the Economic Advisory Commission on April 17th and again on April 28th
An all board and commission meeting was held at the Lincoln Center on April 24th. 16 people were in
attendance (including 1 citizen not associated with a board), representing 12 different boards. Feedback
was provided by 14 of the 16. In summary, 12 were supportive of the Mall project, with 1 not supportive
and 1 neutral. 10 were supportive of the proposed changes to the agreement and 4 were not supportive of
the proposed changes. A recap of the feedback from the board and commission meeting is included in

Resolution 2014-032 Approving an Amendment to the Redevelopment and Reimbursement Agreement with

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to amend the Foothills Mall Redevelopment Agreement. The Developer has asked
to amend Section 3.1 – Conditions Precedent to Issuance of District Bonds of the Agreement, to allow the
Metro District Bonds to be issued with 155k square feet of executed leases vs. the 240k square feet required in

Residential Component of Project: Affordable Housing, concerning the period of time the Developer may be
required to make payments to the City if there is a delay in the completion of the residential units.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Amendment to Section 3.1(c)
Section 3.1 - Conditions Precedent to Issuance of District Bonds was included in the agreement to provide the
City assurance that prior to the City granting authorization to the District to issue the bonds that the project
financing is in place and all project approvals have been received. Section 3.1 details 7 conditions that must
be met by the Developer prior to the issuance of the District Bonds. The seven conditions are summarized
below:
a. District Financing Plan approved by the City Manager.
b. Provide evidence that the Developer has obtained all equity and private financing necessary to
construct the non-residential components of the Project.
c. Obtain 240k square feet of executed leased space with 120k square feet of tenants new to Fort
Collins at an average sales per square foot of $375.
d. Add-On PIF imposed in accordance with Section 4.7.
e. Obtain all Development Approvals for the Project.
f. Satisfactory opinion by District’s bond counsel.
g. No event of default shall have occurred.
The Developer has indicated they are prepared to meet 6 of these conditions and are requesting a modification
to 3.1(c), concerning the square footage of lease space required before issuance. The Developer currently
has approximately 90k square feet of leases executed and anticipates having approximately 195k square feet
leased by May 2014. A combination of factors has negatively impacted the current volume of executed leases:
Packet Pg. 205
Attachment15.1: Copy of Agenda Item Summary, April 15, 2014 (Foothills Mall-Amendment)
Agenda Item 17
Item # 17 Page 2
1. The delay from an anticipated 2014 opening to a 2015 opening.
2. Timing uncertainty of the 2015 opening until the Redevelopment Agreement was signed in
January of 2014.
3. A leasing strategy that focuses on critical retailers first, who once signed, will attract other quality
retailers.
4. Retailers are currently focused on leases for 2014 openings and will focus on leases to support
2015 openings later in this year.
The Developer has requested an amendment to the agreement that would allow for the issuance of District
bonds with 155k square feet leased including 90k square feet of tenants new to Fort Collins. However, only
$23M of the $53M of bond proceeds would be released to the project. The remaining $30M of bond proceeds
would be held in escrow by the Bond Trustee and would only be released in tranches to the project as
additional leases are executed by the developer.

4 310k 150k 53 2 129% 60%
Table A details the additional square feet of executed leases required by the developer to receive additional
funding. As each 50k of additional leases are executed, combined with a corresponding increase in leases
associated with tenants new to Fort Collins, funding will be released by the Bond Trustee in increments of
$10M. In comparison to the original agreement, the Developer must now obtain 310k square feet of executed
leases (60% of the total Mall) before all funds are made available (vs. 240k square feet (47% of the total Mall)
in the original agreement). The amount of leased space to tenants new to Fort Collins has also increased from
120k to 150k. In addition, a portion of each tranche released would be assigned to the Underpass and
Foothills Activity Center portion of the project.
Waiting until the developer has obtained the required 240k square feet of leased space prior to the issuance of
the bonds could have multiple adverse effects on the project:
1. The equity partner and the construction financier require all funding be closed simultaneously. A delay
in the issuance of the District Bonds will delay the closing on the construction financing.
2. A delay in the close of the project financing opens the possibility of rising interest rates adding
significant cost to the project.
3. Construction timing is critical, a delay of several weeks in closing all financing will delay construction
start-up which in turn will delay the opening in 2015.
4. A delay in the 2015 mall opening will void current executed leases which specify a 2015 opening.
5. A delay in the 2015 mall opening will put at risk other interested retailers given the projects timing
uncertainty. Some of these retailers may elect to locate elsewhere within the northern Colorado region
and be lost to the Mall project indefinitely.

Attachment15.1: Copy of Agenda Item Summary, April 15, 2014 (Foothills Mall-Amendment)
Agenda Item 17
Item # 17 Page 3
The Developer’s Equity Partner has agreed to provide additional security and financing to support the project
and maintain the current timeline. Current equity investment in the project is approximately $57M and will
most likely increase by the time all financing is closed. This is 40% to 50% higher than their original intentions.
In addition, the Equity Partner has agreed to provide 100% recourse vs. the normal 50% recourse on the
$100M plus construction loan. Both actions demonstrate confidence in the project.
Risks and Implications Associated with the Amendment to Section 3.1(c):
Risks and implications associated with the amendment vary by party associated with the agreement. Risks
revolve around what can be described as “Start-Up Risk”. Start-Up Risk can be defined as the bonds are
issued but something catastrophic occurs that prevents the mall from being completed and fully leased out.
City Risk/Implications – In the event the bonds are issued and the mall is not completed, there is no financial
obligation on the part of the City beyond the pledge of Sales Tax Increment from sales at the Mall. Issuing the
bonds with 155k vs. 240k square feet of leased space does not increase financial risk to the City. The
structure of financing was intentionally set up to issue the bonds via the Metro District, avoid creating a debt
obligation on the part of the City and allow the City to avoid the Start-Up Risk.
Interest Rate Risk – Current macro-economic indicators point to a rising interest rate environment in the near
term. A delay in the issuance of the bonds in a rising rate environment could have a significant impact on the
financing cost of the project. A 1% increase in interest rates on the bonds (all else held constant) would
require an additional $17M of Sales Tax Increment from the URA to meet the bond payments. The Developer
would also potentially experience additional financing costs associated with the construction loan.
Developer Risk/Implications – The Developer will not have a financial gain with the proposed amendment.
The benefit to the Developer is the project would proceed on the current planned timeline without the adverse
impact of the effects of a delay described above.
Metro District Risk/Implications - The risk to the District is related to Start-Up Risk and when such an event
occurred relative to the square footage of executed leases.
If an event occurred after 240k square feet of leases are executed, in the current agreement, all $72M of
bonds would be issued and outstanding. In the amended agreement, only $33M of the bond proceeds would
have been disbursed and the remaining $20M of proceeds would be available for an extraordinary redemption
of outstanding bonds, thereby reducing the future obligations of the District. If the event occurred prior to the
Developer achieving 255k square feet of executed leases, the amended agreement would be beneficial to the
District. If such an event occurred after 310k square feet of executed leases were obtained, there is no
difference between the two alternatives.
If an event occurred after 155k square feet of leases were executed but before 240k square feet of leases
were executed, in the current agreement, no bonds would have been issued. In the amended agreement,
$23M to $33M of the bond proceeds would have been disbursed and the remaining $20M to $30M of proceeds
would be available for an extraordinary redemption of the outstanding bonds. There is risk in the amended
agreement during the time it takes the Developer to move from 155k to 240k square feet of leased space.
Again, there is no financial risk to the City in this case. This risk can be evaluated based on two factors –
probability and severity. The probability of an event occurring during the 4-6 months it will take the Developer
to acquire the 240k square feet of leases vs. the 155k square feet of leases is very low. The severity could be
high. Approximately $41M of bonds would be outstanding plus additional capitalized interest would be
incurred if $30M of proceeds were used for an early redemption. The Start-Up Risk exists with the current
agreement and with the amended agreement, the difference relates to whether an event would occur during
the next 4-6 months that would ultimately cause the Bonds to not be issued.
Because (1) there is no added risk to the City, (2) the risk to the District is not significantly different between
authorizing bonds with 240k of leased space vs. authorizing bonds with 155k of lease space and putting funds
in escrow that can only be fully released once 310k of space is leased,( 3) the risk of delay to the construction

timeline would most likely adversely impact the projects lease opportunities and completion dates, and 4)
potential higher interest rates with a late 2014 issuance would require additional sales tax increment to cover
bond payments, staff recommends making the requested modifications to the agreement.
Amendment to Section 4.3
Section 4.3 – Construction of Residential Component of Project: Affordable Housing. of the agreement was
intended to provide a partial offset to lost residential property tax increment in the event the developer does not
meet the construction completion dates described in section 4.3. The 50% payments of the lost property tax
revenue by the developer was intended to only be in effect until the residential units are completed and
property tax revenue begins to flow to the URA and then to the Metro District.
The current wording in the agreement has been questioned by the District bond council, who interpret the
current wording to require the developer to continue making the 50% payments after the residential units are
complete if the original construction completion dates in the agreement are not met.
Staff concurs this was not the intent of this section and agree clarification is needed to indicate the 50%
payment is only required if the construction completion dates within the agreement are not met and only until
the residential units are complete and tax revenue is realized by the Metro District.
The Council Finance Committee will review this on Friday, April 11. Draft minutes from that meeting will be
provided in the read-before packet on Tuesday, April 15.

Public private partnerships are important. City Council approved the
project. The private sector partner has demonstrated substantial
justification and need for the requested amendment. Staff supports
the requested amendment and demonstrates little or no risk to the
City. The proposed amendment actually benefits the City by requiring
more square feet leased to retailers new to the City. Plus, funds are
released in tranches. The project is located on the Max and is critical to
multiple City objectives.

Section 4.3 Clarification
Clarification Requested is Consistent with the Original Intent
• Intent of the original Section 4.3 was to require the Developer to
pay 50% of the lost property tax increment in the event the
residential units were delayed.
• But only until such time as the residential units are built and
property tax increment is being paid.
• Clarification added to Section 4.3:
“Said payment shall be made in each fiscal year until either: 1) the
pledge of any authority pledged revenue has ceased; or 2) property
taxes are due from the residential component of the Project for 446
units that have been assessed as 100% complete.”

to answer with any degree of certainty
• Factors include
• Without additional leasing, signed leases would become void

bond proceeds and the construction loan

(f) After the debt service requirements on the District Bonds have been paid

rebate funds for the District Bonds, any excess Pledged Revenues shall be applied by the
District Bond Trustee as follows:
(i) To the extent required by the underwriter of the District Bonds
based on market conditions, the District Bond Documents may establish a
supplemental reserve fund (the “Supplemental Reserve Fund”) and provide that
any excess Pledged Revenue shall be deposited into the Supplemental Reserve
Fund to be maintained in an amount that is not more than 10% of the original
aggregate principal amount of the District Bonds. The District Bond Trustee shall
keep a record of the sources of the Pledged Revenue that are used to fund and
maintain the Supplemental Reserve Fund, if any.
(ii) After the Supplemental Reserve Fund, if any, has been fully
funded, any excess Pledged Revenues shall be applied by the District Bond
Trustee as follows:
(A) The District, the City and the Authority hereby
agree pursuant to Section 31-25-107(11) C.R.S. that any such
excess Sales Tax Increment Revenues shall be released from the
lien of the District Bond Documents and remitted by the District
Bond Trustee to the City. The District Bond Documents shall
provide that the City is a third-party beneficiary under the District
Bond Documents with respect to this provision relating to the
requirement of remitting any excess Sales Tax Increment Revenues
to the City as set forth above.
(B) Any excess Add-On PIF Revenues shall be applied
by the District Bond Trustee to prepay principal on the District
Bonds upon payment of all scheduled debt service for the year in

Packet Pg. 262
Attachment1: Exhibit A (Foothills Mall Agreement Revision RESO)
6
the District Bonds, excess Add-On PIF Revenues shall be remitted
to the District for deposit in the Foothills Mall Fund.
(C) Any excess Pledged Property Tax Increment
Revenues shall be released from the lien of the District Bond
Documents and remitted to the Authority.
(D) Any excess Pledged District Specific Ownership
Taxes and District Debt Service Mill Levy Revenues shall be
applied by the District Bond Trustee to debt service payments on
the District Bonds in the following year.
(g) Except as may be expressly agreed to the contrary in writing by the
District, the City Manager on behalf of the City, and the Authority Executive Director on
behalf of the Authority, the District Bond Documents shall provide that moneys on
deposit in the Supplemental Reserve Fund shall be applied solely to pay the debt service
requirements on the District Bonds in the event of an insufficiency of Pledged Revenues
to make such payments, provided, however, that all moneys on deposit in the reserve
fund for the District Bonds must first have been applied to the payment of the debt
service requirements on the District Bonds prior to applying any funds on deposit in the
Supplemental Reserve Fund to such payment. Upon termination of the Supplemental
Reserve Fund, the moneys on deposit in the Supplemental Reserve Fund shall be remitted
by the District Bond Trustee based on the source of Pledged Revenues used to fund and
maintain the Supplemental Reserve Fund in accordance with the provisions set forth in
subparagraph (d)(ii) above, except as may otherwise be provided in the District Bond
Documents with the consent of the District, the City Manager on behalf of the City and
the Authority Executive Director on behalf of the Authority, notwithstanding the terms of
subparagraph (d)(ii), above.
(h) The District Bond Documents shall provide that the net proceeds of the
Bonds shall be deposited in the Project Fund and requisitioned by the District to pay
Eligible Costs as set forth in Exhibit D hereof, with such requisitions to be made
substantially in accordance with Exhibit E hereof. The District Bond Documents shall
provide that any requisition remitted to the District Bond Trustee shall simultaneously be
remitted to the City Manager, or the City Manager’s designee. In the event that the City
provides written notice to the Developer and the District that it disputes that all or any
portion of the requisition qualifies as an Eligible Cost or otherwise fails to comply with
the requisition requirements in Exhibit E, then the City, the Developer and the District
agree to act in good faith to attempt to resolve any such dispute.
(i) Without the prior written consent of the City Manager, the District Bonds
shall mature no later than 25 years after the date of issuance thereof, and shall not contain

to impose such Add-On PIF on such retail sales occurring on any such Property, subject
to the consent of the owners of such Property. Except as provided herein, all property
under the Developer’s control as of the Effective Date shall be made subject to the Add-
On PIF, and any property within the Project acquired by the Developer subsequent to the
Effective Date shall become subject to this requirement. This requirement shall not apply

through the PIF Covenant. The PIF Covenant shall provide that during the term that the
Add-On PIF is to be imposed and collected under this Agreement, the PIF Covenant may
not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in any manner inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement without the City’s prior written consent. The PIF Covenant shall
be reviewed by the City Attorney to determine that the PIF Covenant satisfies the
applicable requirements of this Agreement. The City Attorney shall have twenty-one
(21) days after its submittal to the City to review and provide comments in writing to the
Developer with regard to the same. In the event the City Attorney’s written approval or
disapproval is not provided to the Developer within such period, the PIF Covenant shall
be deemed approved by the City. Upon approval and in connection with the closing of
the construction loan referenced in Section 3.1(b)(2), the Developer shall record the PIF
Covenant with the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder to encumber the Property as
provided in this section and the PIF Covenant so recorded shall be prior to all liens,

SUBJECT
Items Relating to the West Nile Virus Management Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 063, 2014, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General Fund to
Fund Enhancements to the Fort Collins West Nile Virus Management Program for the 2014 Season.
B. Discussion of West Nile Virus Management Plan Options.
Ordinance No. 063, 2014, unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 15, 2014, appropriates funds to
execute the city’s West Nile Virus Management Program. Additional funds, amounting to $75,100, are
appropriated to enhance the public outreach program, increase the city’s larval control boundary and allow for
a more flexible larval control season.
Staff also seeks Council input as to which options it prefers to consider adding to the West Nile Virus
Management Plan. Options include Technical Advisory Committee recommendations for an opt-out program,
implementation of zones, updates to the operational guidelines, and the Advisory Panel process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading.
Staff recommends approval of options that would remove the use of human cases as a threshold for action in
the operational guidelines but maintain the vector index threshold at the current level of 0.75; adopt a four (4)
zone adulticide application approach; implement an opt-out for impacted businesses with education and
maintain the pesticide sensitivity registry opt-out; and TAC recommended improvements to the Advisory Panel
with the option to allow "current or former" City administrative board or commission member participation.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Background
West Nile Virus has been in Colorado since 2002 and the threat of disease transmission is now an annual
concern. West Nile Virus is a disease transmitted to humans by Culex mosquitoes, which are the vector
(source of transmission). West Nile Virus (WNV) infected mosquitoes infect birds, which can then be bitten by
many uninfected mosquitoes, greatly amplifying vector abundance. Most people infected with WNV will have
no symptoms. About 1 in 5 (20-25 percent) people who are infected will develop a fever with other symptoms.
Less than 1 percent of people who are infected will develop a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or
meningitis (inflammation of the brain or surrounding tissues). (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Division of Vector-Borne Diseases (CDC DVBD) information)
Packet Pg. 273
Agenda Item 16
Item # 16 Page 2
Fort Collins utilizes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-recommended Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) approach to address WNV. IPM consists of a comprehensive series of evaluations,
decisions and controls to pest management with the goal of providing the safest, most effective, most
economical, and sustained remedy. IPM reduces the risk from pests while also reducing the risk from the
overuse or inappropriate use of hazardous chemical pest-control products. Every year the City convenes a
WNV Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to review the previous season’s activities and recommend
modifications to the WNV Management Program Policy. This plan, do, check, act (PDCA) cycle instills
continuous improvement in the WNV Management Program.
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Information
Since the arrival of WNV in Fort Collins in 2003, the City has used community expertise to inform its WNV
Management Program. In 2007, the TAC was formed at the direction of the City Manager. Volunteers are
appointed by the City Manager and provide feedback on the WNV Management Program. The current program
design - program response guidelines, three-member Advisory Panel and other policies have been developed
through the TAC evaluation process. Each year the TAC convenes to review and consider modifications to the
program.
In the winter of 2013, the TAC membership expanded to ten members, to include Meghan Williams, co-owner
of Spring Kite Farms, and Dana Kunze, founder of the No Spray Fort Collins Facebook site. These new
members added additional important perspectives representing urban agriculture, beekeepers, and citizens
with pesticide sensitivities. Other TAC members include Lars Eisen, Boris Kondratieff, Dr. Adrienne LeBailly,
Eric Levine, Greg McMaster, Chester G. Moore, Roger Nasci and Elizabeth Pruessner. While not representing
their employers on the TAC, members include internationally recognized experts on vector-borne diseases,
entomology and public health issues.
The TAC has held eight (8) regular public meetings since December 2013. Each meeting has been two hours,
included a public comment period and had publicly available agendas and minutes. Discussion has included a
review of the 2013 program response guidelines, the issue of adulticide applications and the City’s draft
program manual.
TAC members recommended improvements to the West Nile Management Program including additional public
communication, increasing the larval control boundary, additional funding to allow for a weather-based larval
control program, leveraging existing resources for source reduction, and engaging governmental entities
through a Vector Control District.

TAC members discussed several issues related to the program response guidelines - the document which
establishes thresholds for specific actions in City mosquito control operations. The program response
Agenda Item 16
Item # 16 Page 4
significantly after a person is bitten by an infected mosquito. Given the disease-prevention purpose of the
program, this means an outbreak could occur at least two weeks before the City could take action. Human
case thresholds lag more than other information - the vector index is calculated weekly and so it is a better
estimation of virus risk to residents.
A great deal of TAC discussion focused on Levels III and IV of the administrative program response
guidelines- the peak season and emergency level responses - where an operational response might include an
adulticide application. At Level III, the framework includes the use of human cases as a threshold. The Level III
program response guideline language requires:
More than one human case being reported per week in Fort Collins - OR -
More than one positive human blood donor reported for the season.
-AND-
Culex mosquito populations increasing and at or above historical average by 1 standard deviation for
that time period- OR -
Mosquito infection rates of > 3.0 per thousand (0.3 percent) and increasing - OR -
Vector index > 0.75 and increasing
Additionally, the TAC reviewed the use of blood donor cases - the program response guidelines specify the
use of one transmission identified by a blood donor per season as a threshold. TAC members noted that this
indicator does not reflect community virus amplitude or local activity mainly because of the frequency of blood
drives in Fort Collins during the WNV season. Additionally, a different test is used for donated blood than is
used to diagnose WNV and the test is only effective a short time after infection. Some TAC members favor
eliminating this indicator or having a weighted ranking for use in decision-making.
Raise vector index (VI) threshold
The vector index (VI) is a measure calculated to estimate the average number of WNV-infected mosquitoes
collected per trap night (i.e., summation of the average number Culex mosquitoes collected per trap night and
the proportion infected for each species). Fort Collins uses a 0.75 vector index in its current program response
guidelines to determine the threshold when a WNV outbreak may be occurring. The vector index had been 0.5
from 2007 to 2012 but, as part of the annual program evaluation (PDCA), a decision was made to raise the
index in 2013 to 0.75. The decision to raise the index threshold increases community risk of virus transmission
by requiring a higher abundance of infected mosquitoes before a pesticide intervention. The TAC discussed
raising the vector index even further - to 1.0.
Lowering the vector index (VI) threshold)
Lowering the vector index from 0.75 to 0.5 was recommended by the Larimer County Health Department
Director. Lowering this threshold would make it easier to use adulticide when it would be most effective to
reduce the risk of disease transmission to humans. The 0.50 vector index was used as the threshold in the
Fort Collins program from 2007 to 2012. Some TAC members expressed concern that lowering the threshold
would result in more adulticide applications in Fort Collins.
Staff recommendation
Staff recommends removing from the program response guidelines a requirement for the use of human cases
as a threshold and to maintain the vector index at 0.75. This recommendation is consistent with the
Management Policy to execute a program that reduces the incidence of City residents contracting WNV.
Removing human cases will make the City’s response to a disease outbreak faster and, in concert with the
Packet Pg. 276
Agenda Item 16
Item # 16 Page 5
zone approach, could mean that a response would swiftly target the specific area(s) where WNV-infected
mosquitoes are high.

TAC members were unable to reach a consensus on a recommendation for an opt-out program. While many
states have passed laws preventing anyone from excluding themselves from a pesticide application a simple
headlines search shows that there is a growing national movement of people seeking to opt-out of community-
wide pesticide spraying.
Voluntary opt-out
The concept for a voluntary program came from a TAC member who cited that private property is sprayed with
a pesticide without providing citizens the option as to whether they wished to participate. As suggested by that
TAC member, in order to participate in the voluntary program a resident would have a backyard consultation
with City staff about source reduction actions that could be taken, complete additional education either through
a group class or through video education, and receive a one-year opt-out from adulticide applications. Other
TAC members expressed concern that while the education would be helpful in preventing backyard larval
sites, the voluntary opt-out from adulticide applications will create untreated harborage for infected mosquitoes
that can extend significantly beyond the boundaries of the “opted-out” property, decreasing the effectiveness of
spraying and putting neighbors at risk of contracting WNV without their consent. Allowing a voluntary opt-out
creates an impact to neighbors – the City’s current policy is to provide a 300-500 foot buffer for pesticide
sensitive households – that could range from 10 neighboring homes in less dense areas and up to 100 homes
in densely populated areas. TAC discussion also questioned whether an opt-out program would actually result
in no pesticide impacting a residents’ property given the aerosolized pesticide and weather patterns that
disperse the adulticide. This option would require hiring one more technician to perform inspection and
education throughout the annual season.
Packet Pg. 277
Agenda Item 16
Item # 16 Page 6
Business opt-out
The TAC representative for urban agriculture described concerns of food producers - that covering even small
farms to protect them from being sprayed with a pesticide is not feasible. Fort Collins has twenty-six (26)
registered community supported agriculture (CSA) farms producing fruit, vegetables and herbs for sale at
Farmers Market, wholesale and farm stand. TAC members also described a similar challenge in covering bee
hives used both for personal use and for sale. Bees are susceptible to the pesticide sprayed in an adulticide
application but the City attempts to minimize impacts to bees by spraying after dusk when most bees are back
in the hive. Still, TAC members expressed concern that best management practices for beekeepers to protect
their hives do not exist. Staff has committed to working with CSU and others to develop a suite of best
management practices for beekeepers. Staff is also aware that some research laboratories at CSU may be
impacted by spraying near campus buildings. One option for an opt-out is for registered businesses -
agriculture, beekeepers, and research facilities - to prevent interference with those businesses. This option
would also require each business to participate in source reduction and personal protection education.
Businesses would need to demonstrate a direct, long-term financial hardship from the pesticide application in
order to participate in the opt-out - the intent of the opt-out is to provide relief from financial losses. While
additional work would be needed to develop the exact parameters of this opt-out, the intent is to address
concerns about impacting scientific research and anecdotal evidence that consumers are less willing to
purchase produce when they know that a farm has been subject to a pesticide application. This option would
also require an additional technician to perform inspection and education throughout the annual season. Some
TAC members questioned whether the commercial interests of a business outweigh increasing disease
transmission risks to entire neighborhoods of the city.
Pesticide Sensitivity Registry opt-out
The current program allows only those registered on the state’s pesticide sensitivity registry to opt-out of an
adulticide application. To be placed on the state’s registry a certificate must be signed by a physician licensed
to practice medicine in the State of Colorado stating that you have a medical condition that makes you
sensitive to pesticides. Fort Collins has about 15 homes listed on the pesticide sensitivity registry. Those
homes are, depending on weather conditions, provided a 300 to 500 foot buffer where spraying is terminated.
Staff works with Colorado Mosquito Control (CMC), the City’s contractor, to ensure that these pesticide
sensitive residents are protected.
TAC members discussed evidence, depending on density, that providing this opt-out to one home can exclude
from 10 to 100 other homes from an adulticide application. Further, there is concern that those excluded from
the pesticide application are unaware of their exclusion because the name and residence of those on the
pesticide sensitivity registry is confidential. Some TAC members advocated for a notification to all properties
excluded from an adulticide application; this may prove operationally not feasible.
No opt-out
While the City allows applicants to the state’s program to opt-out this is not a legal requirement. The registry
maintained by the Colorado Department of Agriculture does not pertain to mosquito spraying, or any pesticide
applications other than those made to control pests of lawns, trees and shrubs. The state registry does not
prevent application of pesticides but only requires that commercial applicators (like lawn care companies)
notify people on the registry 24 hours before an application is made to abutting property (immediately adjacent
property that touches yours) so that you can leave for a period of time or make other preparations for the
application.
TAC members discussed the concept of eliminating any opt-out since Fort Collins is unique in offering a
pesticide sensitivity registry opt-out. The argument for no opt-out has to do with efficacy of the adulticide
application. A complete adulticide application of the spray area ensures that more adult mosquitoes carrying
WNV are killed, reducing the likelihood of disease transmission. With an opt-out it is possible for more
mosquitoes to avoid the pesticide.
Packet Pg. 278
Agenda Item 16
Item # 16 Page 7
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends maintaining the use of an opt-out for residents on the pesticide sensitivity registry and to
add an opt-out for specific businesses that may experience financial loss from adulticide applications. The
intent of these opt-outs is to cover those individuals with a medically-identified reason to avoid exposure and to
limit business impact to farmers, commercial beekeepers, and some research laboratories. This
recommendation follows with the Management Policy direction to “limit adverse human health impacts.”
MOTION OPTIONS
Residential and Business Opt-Outs
1. The motion language to propose Council action based on the staff recommendation for a pesticide-
sensitive registry opt-out is item 1.a.i. on the Sample Motions (Attachment 8);
2. The motion language to propose Council action based on the staff recommendation for a business
hardship opt-out is item 1.a.ii. on the Sample Motions attachment;
3. The motion language to propose Council action to provide a voluntary opt-out with condition of specific
education is item 1.a.iii. on the Sample Motions attachment.
Treatment Zones
Staff Recommendation Option 1 Option 2 Option 3
Zones Implement four zones in 2014 No zones, entire
City is one “zone”
Three to four
zones
Seven zones
TAC members discussed the use of zones in implementing the City’s WNV Management Program. Generally,
the TAC supports the concept of using zones. Breaking the City into smaller areas using topographic and
historical program data could create a more effective WNV Management Program. Historical information
indicates that mosquito activity is usually highest beginning in the southeast of Fort Collins and along the
eastern border - near I-25. A zone approach could allow for additional public information, larval control, source
reduction efforts, and adulticide intervention in these areas.
In developing the zone approach the TAC reached out to a Colorado State University (CSU) statistician who
may be able to assist TAC members in designing the optimal number and size of zones to ensure that the
zones are small but still have enough of traps within each zone to be statistically confident in the vector index
calculation. The City would be able to affect the number and size of zones based on the number of traps in the
field - more traps in the data network could result in more, smaller zones. Each zone would be subject to the
same program response guideline thresholds before an adulticide application would be recommended to break
the transmission cycle.
A potential downside for using zones is that some areas of town could be subject to more frequent annual
adulticide applications whereas other areas might never be sprayed. Some TAC members have expressed
that spraying a smaller area more often is not a preferable alternative to spraying the larger area less often.
Other TAC members have expressed that it makes sense to do control in a timely manner where the risk of
WNV is highest, possibly decreasing the need to spray larger areas.
One Zone (entire city)
This option does not implement zones for 2014. The reason this option is being offered is that the TAC has not
yet received information from the CSU statistician about the appropriate zone configuration. Adopting one zone
could mean citywide adulticide applications if necessary in 2014. Applying the program citywide is less
responsive to the vector index and mosquito trap data and limits the ability to provide a targeted response to
hot spots. This option could result in a larger area to be subject to a pesticide application.
Packet Pg. 279
Agenda Item 16
Item # 16 Page 8
Three to Four Zones
The initial recommendation from the CSU statistician - without analyzing the program details - was for three to
four zones. While the statistician has not delivered a detailed recommendation, this option divides the City into
three to four zones based on historical data. Adopting zones would apply to all aspects of the program, not just
a pesticide application, allowing targeted communication and larval control in areas where the data network
demonstrates higher human health risks. The three to four zones would reduce the area subject to an
adulticide application, focus the program on areas with a high vector index number, and allow for prompt
response to an increased disease transmission risk.
Seven Zones
The Larimer County Health Department presented the TAC with 2013 data in seven zones. This was
suggested to make it easier to calculate vector indexes for defined areas. The zones are smaller geographic
areas (approximately 9,000 to 45,000 people) and using this strategy could mean the City would be applying
adulticide primarily where the infected mosquito populations are highest. There are parts of Fort Collins that
may be sprayed more often due to the presence of more infected mosquitoes in those areas, while other zones
would be only sprayed during outbreak scenarios because their vector index historically has been low.
Flexible Zones
The concept of “flexible zones” was discussed by the TAC with several members in support. Flexible zones
could move each week to ensure the highest risk areas are appropriately treated. This option would work best
after consultation with the CSU statistician to determine the appropriate number of traps necessary to calculate
a statistically valid vector index. Some work will have to be done to determine the right size - both how large a
zone could get and what parameters for changing the area considered. This approach was used in 2004,
2007, and 2012 but calculating the vector index for varying zones was challenging since the calculation may
use different trap locations each time. Finally, the flexible zones could be challenging to communicate with
residents - rather than residing in a set zone, each spray operation a resident might have to search for their
address and whether it is going to be in the adulticide application area. Flexible zones would be an option to
explore for future implementation but are not a staff recommendation for the 2014 season.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends adopting a zone strategy in 2014 while a more formal review of the use of zones continues.
Zones allow a more targeted application of City’s program and specifically the program response guideline
thresholds. Staff proposes four zones - using College Avenue and Drake to divide the City into quadrants.
Historical data demonstrates that some areas of Fort Collins have higher activity than others - these areas
might be subject to an adulticide application more often. The use of a four (4) zone approach reduces the size
of the zones and therefore the area subject to an adulticide application.

suggestion to create seven (7) treatment zones is item 1.b.ii. on the Sample Motions attachment.

The WNV Management Program and Policy stipulate the use of a three-member Advisory Panel in weekly
review of in-season data and in evaluating the Larimer County Health Department's recommendations for an
adulticide application. The City Manager’s practice has been to appoint the Panel members from the Natural
Resources Advisory Board, Air Quality Advisory Board and the Fort Collins medical community. Eliminating the
Advisory Panel completely would require a City Council action to amend the existing West Nile Virus
Management Policy.
TAC members achieved consensus recommendations about the Advisory Panel as follows:
Staff should develop a brief Advisory Panel Manual to clarify roles and responsibilities
Advisory Panel information should be transparent
Panel members should participate in the TAC meetings
Transparency was a very important issue to the TAC; members recommended ensuring weekly virus activity
provided to the Panel, the adulticide recommendations from the Larimer County Health Director and the Panel
recommendations to the City Manager be published on the City’s website.
Term Limits
Service on City boards and commissions is generally term limited to two terms, under the City’s Boards and
Commissions Manual, which effectively imposes a term limit on two of the three Advisory Panel members
under the City Manager’s present practice of appointing to City board members to the Advisory Panel. This
same term limit has not been applied to the representative of the medical community, through this
interpretation is not yet written into the WNV Management Plan or Policy. TAC members discussed whether a
term limit on the Advisory Panel is a good thing. Generally, institutional knowledge of the program is helpful in
reviewing the data and making a recommendation to the City Manager. Rather than establishing a uniform
term limit, the TAC discussed altering the Policy as applied and documenting in the WNV Management Policy
that “current or former” members of the two boards may participate, irrespective of prior or ongoing terms of
service with those other administrative bodies.
Panel Make-up
In addition to the consensus suggestions, the TAC discussed how to foster a succession plan for the Advisory
Panel. This concept was raised in conjunction with the term limits topic. A suggestion was made that the Panel
should consist of two members of the boards and two medical community members enlarging the Advisory
Panel - but that only one “vote” would be offered to each cohort pair. This might be a method to develop some
depth in understanding for future members of the Advisory Panel.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends adopting the consensus items from the TAC regarding the Advisory Panel and choosing to
engage experienced Advisory Panel members by lifting de facto term limits on Boardmember participation and
adopting qualification language to allow “current or former” board or commission members in order to allow
informed and experienced Advisory Panel members the option to continue their service without formal term
limits. This will enable the Air Quality Advisory Board and the Natural Resources Advisory Board to have an
opportunity for consultation with their Advisory Panel representative, while broadening the potential Panel pool.

Additional Topics
Bees
TAC members recommended development of best management practices for beekeepers so they can protect
hives from pesticide applications. Several TAC members keep bees and conversation on this topic indicated
that knowledge and experience on hive protection varies. Given the presence of CSU expertise as well as
Agriculture Extension and other resources, staff was asked to help convene development of best practices and
to ensure publication of these recommendations.
Program Evaluation
TAC members recommended the City invest in an unbiased third-party expert to review the City's existing
program and recommend enhancements. This recommendation was for an audit to include having a person
work on optimal zone sizes, review the chemicals used in adulticide, evaluate the larval control program,
develop a weighted program response guideline (the California model) and to evaluate detailed options for an
opt-out program. This recommendation could come forward as a BFO enhancement offer.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Manager position
TAC members expressed support for funding an IPM Manager position. An offer was submitted through
Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) for a position with responsibilities to include working with various departments
to holistically reduce pesticide and herbicide use throughout the City. That offer is anticipated to come from
Environmental Services and address more than just WNV management. This offer will have to advance
through BFO before a staff person could be employed.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
Adoption of Ordinance No. 063, 2014 will appropriate $75,100 for program enhancements. Adoption of certain
WNV Management Program options may incur additional expenses by requiring additional staff to perform
certain activities.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Applying a pesticide in some or all of Fort Collins represents an environmental impact. This budget
appropriation is anticipated to reduce the likelihood of needing an adulticide as well as larvacide application in
the City. The larval control product used is deemed to have a low environmental impact but it does reduce the
abundance of mosquito larvae which has a cascading impact on species which feed upon larvae and adult
mosquitos.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Staff has presented the 2014 season recommendations to the Parks and Recreation Board, Air Quality
Advisory Board and to the Natural Resources Advisory Board for comment.

SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 063, 2014, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General Fund to Fund
Enhancements to the Fort Collins West Nile Virus Management Program for the 2014 Season.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appropriate funds to execute the City's West Nile Virus Management Program.
Additional funds are sought to enhance the public outreach program, to increase the City's larval control
boundary and to allow for a more flexible larval control season. In total, funds requested add $75,100 to the
program budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
This budget appropriation would fund public education and outreach materials as well as larval management
for the City's West Nile Virus Management Program. The additional funds support education and mitigation
efforts aimed at reducing the likelihood for a pesticide application. Fort Collins' West Nile Virus Management
Program uses an integrated pest management (IPM) approach which prioritizes steps that reduce the use of
pesticides. The City's program emphasizes education and public information, source reduction on public and
private property, and larval management ahead of a pesticide application.
This appropriation reflects consensus items from the City's West Nile Virus Technical Advisor Committee
(TAC) which has met from December through April, discussing ways to improve the operation of the City's
program. In addition to the two areas of budget appropriation, the 2014 season will also include additional
source reduction measures in cooperation with City staff groups - backyard inspections, planning and zoning,
and Utilities - and with County and CSU Extension staff.
The education and outreach appropriation is $17,500 and will enhance the current program. The budget
enhancements will allow the City to promote its message, develop additional outreach tools and to extend
when outreach could occur. It is hoped that this approach will help improve community members'
understanding of the risks associated with West Nile virus and the personal protection steps individuals can
take. Staff also expects to develop a video series explaining elements of the City's program and to maintain a
program manual to further explain the City's program.
Larval management is a proven mosquito management approach. The City contracts with Colorado Mosquito
Control (CMC) to conduct West Nile virus management, including larval and adult mosquito control. The
current larval program is conducted both within City limits and a boundary extending about one (1) mile to the

east outside of Fort Collins. The current season for larval management is limited by the program budget to
June 1 to August 31. This budget appropriation will extend the boundary of larval management outside of Fort
Collins' borders from one mile to approximately two to three miles. The appropriation would also fund a more
flexible larval management season by allowing extension to April through September. Extending the season
provides flexibility to address weather and other observed or anticipated mosquito season conditions. The
amount requested in this appropriation for larval control is $23,500 and $34,100 to extend the season.
Staff expects to bring additional enhancements to improve the efficacy of the City's West Nile Virus
Management Program to Council at the May 6 regular Council meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Applying a pesticide in some or all of Fort Collins represents an environmental impact. This budget
appropriation is anticipated to reduce the likelihood of an adulticide application. The larval control product used
is deemed to have a low environmental impact but it does reduce the abundance of mosquito larvae which has
a cascading impact on species which feed upon larvae and adult mosquitos.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Staff has presented the 2014 season recommendations to the Parks and Recreation Board, Air Quality
Advisory Board and to the Natural Resources Advisory Board for comment.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The recommended budget enhancements are the consensus recommendations of the West Nile Virus
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC is a group of citizens that have volunteered their time and
expertise to review the City's program. TAC members include representatives of the Air Quality Advisory
Board, Natural Resources Advisory Board, CSU scientists, a representative from urban agriculture, a
representative of the pesticide sensitive registry, and the Larimer County Public Health Director. The TAC held
seven (7) public meetings from December to April, discussing the West Nile Virus Program Response
Guidelines and the issue of adulticide applications.

WNV Advisory Committee
2008
Rational:
In 2003 the City began employing a contractor to supply services aimed at mitigating the risk of
WNV. In three of the years since then the County Health Department has made a
recommendation to utilize adulticides to reduce the WNV risk. The decision on whether or not
to adulticide is the responsibility of the City Manager.
Any recommendation by the County to adulticide is preceded by a detailed analysis of a number
of factors; the recommendation is usually communicated to the City via email. The current
process has caught many people off guard and causes concern and a variety of questions.
A three-person WNV Advisory Committee, appointed by the City Manager from existing Boards
and Commissions members and a member of the medical community would be tasked with
staying abreast of unfolding information about mosquito activity, West Nile virus infections, and
the many issues that come into play as the season progresses. This effort is coupled with
expanded public outreach activities on the part of City and County staff. In the event that a
recommendation of adulticiding is potentially forthcoming from the County, a series of updates
will be scheduled to ensure all relevant information is promptly distributed. In the event that
adulticiding is recommended by the County, the City Manager and the Advisory Committee will
be prepared.
The intent of the Advisory Committee is not to debate the merits of adulticiding or its’ potential
human health effects during an outbreak, but rather to stay aware of the situation, air any
questions or concerns, and act as an information conduit between the City Manager and
members’ respective Boards.
Advisors makeup and role:
1. One representative each from
- Air Quality Advisory Board
- Natural Resources Advisory Board
- Local medical community.
2. Act as local citizen advisors to City Manager during the WNV season
3. Board Liaisons are people with technical expertise who can give timely advice when needed,
including emergency situations where adulticiding may be recommended by the Health
Department
4. Stay well-informed, abreast of most recent data
5. Act as liaison with respective Board
6. Not decision makers, nor do they have veto power; decisions lie with City Manager
Process:
1. Liaisons will be included in informational emails from the Health Department and City staff
group. Also expected to access relevant online data sites, e.g. Colorado Mosquito Control
dashboard.
2. One meeting held early in season with City Manager; discuss and agree on communication
protocols.
3. Advisors stay in touch with City Manager as season progresses, share perspectives
4. Should adulticiding be recommended by Health Department, advisors will immediately
(within 24 hours) inform the City Manager of any concerns and/or suggestions.

Executive Summary
West Nile virus (WNV) is a serious health threat to the
residents of Fort Collins. The virus is spread to
humans when they are bitten by a mosquito that is
infected with the virus. Since the virus is now endemic
to the area it requires diligence in staying abreast of
the intensity of the virus to prevent long-term effects
on the residents. The City of Fort Collins employs an
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach in
responding to the threat of WNV in the community.
IPM is the recommended strategy for mitigating the
risk of human exposure to WNV by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
(epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/ipm.htm) and the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
(cdc.gov/westnile/resources/pdfs/wnvguidelines.pdf)
IPM is a common-sense approach that is based on
setting thresholds for action based on levels of risk,
and on using a variety of evidence-based interventions
to maintain risks at low levels.
A key strategy used throughout the history of the
program is leveraging local partnerships with
individuals and organizations. Initially working with
the Larimer County Department of Health and the
Environment was a key first step in developing a
comprehensive approach to a response of WNV in the
community. The proximity of the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) Fort Collins branch, whose specialty is
insect-transmitted diseases, and Colorado State
University (CSU) provides access to individuals who
volunteer as private citizens, but are also national and
international experts in the field of managing
mosquito-transmitted diseases. In 2007, at the City
Manager’s direction a Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) formed to assist with policy development and
review of the WNV Management Program. This
brought together many of these content experts and
concerned citizens to vet the process. The TAC
expanded in 2013 with the addition of two individuals
who represent the urban farming community and No
Spray Fort Collins Facebook page.

Goals and
Objectives
The goal of the WNV Management Program is to
reduce the risk of human WNV infection while
limiting adverse human health and environmental
impacts. This goal recognizes there are trade-offs
between program efforts to prevent human infection
and adverse human health and environmental impacts,
as well as the need to balance other human health risks
and societal programs.
Several mosquito species in the area bite humans but
cannot transmit WNV. The city’s mosquito
management program is limited only to trying to
control those mosquito species (Culex) that transmit
WNV disease. The City does not provide management
for nuisance mosquitoes. The objective is to provide
control of the Culex species of mosquitoes in the most
cost effective and efficient manner in order to reduce
the threat of WNV transmission in the community.
Preventing human cases of West Nile virus disease is
the shared responsibility of government agencies and
the individuals those agencies serve. The City of Fort
Collins is responsible for:
1. Developing, implementing, and evaluating a
comprehensive WNV Management Plan based
on established principles of Integrated Pest
Management.
2. Coordinating intra-agency (within City
departments) and interagency resources and
efforts to maximize the efficacy of the City’s
Plan.
3. Providing an annual report on the mosquito
control strategies implemented by both the
City and its mosquito control contractor
during the previous mosquito season.
4. Operating with transparency to the public and
providing opportunities for public comment
regarding the City’s WNV Management Plan.
Fort Collins residents are responsible for:
1. Taking personal protection measures (The 4
Ds, described on pg. 8) to avoid contracting
WNV Disease.
2. Reporting areas of standing water that may
serve as mosquito breeding sites.
3. Participating in the public process regarding
the City’s WNV Management Plan.

Integrated Pest
Management
The major principals of IPM are as follows:
1. Set Action Thresholds: Determine a point at
which pest populations or environmental
conditions will trigger control efforts.
2. Monitor and Identify Pests: Identify which
pest species are present in a given
environment and monitor pest populations to
determine when an action threshold has been
reached.
3. Prevention: Manage site conditions to
minimize the likelihood of a given pest
becoming a threat.
4. Control: Initiate control efforts if action
thresholds are reached. An integrated pest
management approach dictates that the safest
and most environmentally-friendly
management strategies are used first and
stronger, more invasive strategies are used
only if initial efforts are unable to control the
pest below levels deemed acceptable.
This strategy incorporates many tools for reducing the
risk of WNV in the community. The tools available at
this time are:
personal protection
education
communication strategies
source reduction
mapping
site inspections
larviciding
monitoring
trapping
testing
adult mosquito spraying

Background
WNV is a virus transmitted by infected mosquitoes.
The virus can cause symptoms ranging from flu-like
conditions to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)
or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain
and spinal cord), resulting in long-term effects up to
and including death. The virus was first discovered in
Uganda in 1937, but it did not appear in the United
States until 1999. In 2002, the virus was first detected
in Colorado, with 380 equine cases and 13 human
cases reported along the Front Range. In 2003 West
Nile virus hit the Fort Collins area and northeastern
Colorado particularly hard. That year, Larimer County
had 546 reported cases and 10 deaths, while Colorado
led the nation with 2,947 cases and 66 WNV-related
deaths (CDPHE 2010).
Even though there are 65 species of mosquitoes that
can carry WNV in the United States, there are three
varieties that drive the transmission of the virus to
humans. In Fort Collins two of the three species occur
and can be common. These are the Culex tarsalis and
Culex pipiens.
Prior to 2003, the City of Fort Collins did not provide
mosquito control for residents. The WNV program
philosophy is to reduce the risk of human disease from
WNV, and there is no intention to provide control of
nuisance mosquitoes not associated with WNV
transmission. Mosquitoes are an important part of the
food chain for many insects and animals and by
limiting control efforts to the species of concern the
impact on the environment will be minimized. This
strategy also helps reduce the cost and potential
negative impacts of pesticides on the environment and
the community. WNV will appear annually in Fort
Collins during the mosquito season.

History of City of
Fort Collins WNV
Program
2003
Although West Nile virus was detected in this area in
horses and birds in 2002, the first human cases of West
Nile virus in Fort Collins were reported in 2003.
Anticipating a possible human outbreak, the City
contracted with Colorado Mosquito Control in 2003 to
do an extensive adult mosquito trapping and
surveillance system to monitor Culex mosquitoes
throughout the city. Unfortunately, testing of the
trapped mosquitoes could not be done in real time, but
the CDC offered to test all Fort Collins and Loveland
mosquitoes trapped that summer, after the season was
over, as part of their WNV research. As the number of
reported human cases began to rise rapidly, the City
responded under Council direction to mitigate its
spread through control of the mosquitoes that carried
it. Council passed an emergency declaration,
Resolution 2003-097. The emergency program in 2003
was composed of stormwater catch basin larviciding
citywide and adult mosquito spraying of about a
quarter of the city to reduce WNV-infected
mosquitoes.
The mission of the Fort Collins West Nile Virus
program at its inception was, and still is, to reduce the
human impact of West Nile Virus while balancing
costs and social and environmental impacts. Since
2003, the City has invested in outreach efforts to
educate residents on the importance of personal
protection.
In early 2004 the CDC released their analysis of the
city’s mosquito infection rates compared to the human
case onsets, as well as a limited analysis of the sprayed
vs. unsprayed areas of the city to examine the
effectiveness of the adult mosquito control efforts.
2004
In 2004, WNV program guidelines were put into place
via resolution 2004-082. This resolution focused on
the relationship among the City, Board of Health and
the WNV program response plan.
During this year there was also an ad hoc group of
concerned residents and representatives from the Air
Quality Advisory Board and the Natural Resources
Advisory Board that convened to provide feedback on
the WNV response.
2005 & 2006
Both years were relatively quiet for WNV activity.
There were mosquitoes that tested positive in both
years, but the monitoring system supported by the City
showed that the virus did not amplify as in the
previous two years.
2007
WNV was more active in 2007, causing another
human outbreak and leading to citywide spraying for
adult mosquitoes. As in previous years, some residents
were concerned about the impact of spraying on
human and environmental health. At the conclusion of

City Council charged the TAC with developing policy
recommendations for a WNV mitigation policy. The
committee’s recommendations were the foundation for
comprehensive program guidelines for an Integrated
Pest Management approach to preventing human cases
of West Nile virus disease.
On July 1, 2008, the TAC’s policy recommendations
were enacted by City Council.
Resolution 2008-062 became the WNV management
policy, which still guides the program today. The
resolution included program response guidelines for
integrated pest management, including thresholds and
actions.
One main program element is for the TAC to meet
regularly during the winter and spring months to
review the program response guidelines and make
recommendations to Council for continuous program
improvement. Regardless of the West Nile Virus
prevalence in any particular season, the TAC convenes
every year to review the data. The committee
examines what parts of the season were most active,
forecasts the next season, and explores new research
and techniques. In the spring, the TAC studies weather
patterns, arranges schedules and plans for the season.
During the off-season, the committee reviews other
parts of the program, such as public outreach and
larviciding.
Another group created by the WNV management
policy is the WNV Advisory Panel. The panel
consists of three members representing the medical
community, the Air Quality Advisory Board and the
Natural Resources Advisory Board. They commit to
stay current with all information shared during the
season and to act as a conduit for this information to
be disseminated to their groups. If the County
Department of Health Director makes a
recommendation to spray adulticides, the panel
members provide feedback to the City Manager
regarding their agreement or disagreement with the
recommendation, including its justification.
In 2008, the CDC provided its last year of free testing
of adult mosquitos for WNV, which forced the
program to plan for an alternative vendor to provide
this service.
2009, 2010, 2011
These three years had relatively low virus activity.
There was no adulticiding for three consecutive years,
although a significant number of severe WNV human
cases occurred in late-season 2009. The TAC did
conduct end-of-season reviews each year.
In 2009, due to the CDC elimination of testing
services, CSU was selected to test for WNV infection
in trapped mosquitoes.
DRAFT WEST NILE PROGRAM MANUAL 7
eliminated along with backyard and stormwater
inspections to address the reduction.
2012
2012 was the first year in which adulticide was used
by the City since the adoption of the 2008 WNV
management policy. Late in the summer of 2012
thresholds were reached and a recommendation to
adulticide came from the Larimer County Department
of Health and Environment. The application was
completed in two nights to approximately half of the
city.
Fulfilling the goal of continuous improvement, the
TAC’s end-of-season review in 2012 resulted in
several recommendations: enhance communication
with CSU and PSD, conduct more targeted outreach,
increase the level of the risk index (one of the triggers
for adulticiding), and reinstate backyard and
stormwater drain inspections. The risk index was
raised from 0.5 to 0.75 to increase the threshold that
must be met to trigger the need for adulticiding. (Due
to confusion around the risk index, this point needed to
be clarified so that the program response guidelines
were consistent.) The definition of the risk index is
included in the appendix.
The City also expanded the mosquito trapping network
in 2012. Five gravid traps were added, making for a
total of 10 in the city. That addition, along with Fort
Collins’ 43 light traps, makes the City’s trapping
network among the most comprehensive in the
country. (Please see the Mosquito Trap Description in
the appendix.)
2013
In 2013, the monitoring system indicated that the
prevalence of WNV was high enough to trigger
citywide adulticiding. The City sprayed on two nights
to reduce the abundance of infected mosquitoes in
order to reduce the risk of transmission to people and
to break the transmission cycle. After spraying was
completed the risk index decreased from 0.85 to 0.29.
PARTNERS: COLORADO MOSQUITO

COUNTY, CSU
Partnerships are a large component of Fort Collins’
WNV management program. However, with the
exception of the City and the County, the views
represented by members of the TAC Committee are
their own and do not represent their respective
organizations.
The Larimer County Department of Health and
Environment is a very close partner in the
administration of the City’s WNV management
program. A representative from the department sits on
the TAC, provides advice on response protocol and
options, and is the conduit to state health department.
When the City must do control measures and outreach,
it coordinates with the County and shares information
to assist with decision making.
The CDC’s Division of Vector-Borne Diseases
happens to be located in Fort Collins and has provided

decision making.
The City has a contract with Colorado Mosquito
Control (CMC) to provide larval site mapping and
inspections, larviciding, and adult mosquito trapping
and surveillance. When needed, CMC also provides
adult mosquito spraying. In 2014, CMC was acquired
by Advanced Pest Control of Colorado and a copy of
the current contract is in the appendix.

Personal
Protection
Personal protection to avoid being bitten by
mosquitoes is one of the most effective ways to
prevent exposure to WNV. Individuals who believe
they have WNV disease symptoms should see a doctor
as soon as possible – if you don’t get bit you don’t get
WNV!
Using the 4 Ds to prevent WNV is a strategy the City
of Fort Collins employs.
Drain – Source reduction (removal of larval habitat) is
an effective way to reduce the areas where mosquitoes
can breed. Any shallow water left unattended for more
than a few days becomes a potential development site
for larval mosquitoes.

several choices of repellents available from local retail
stores. Visit their webpage at

Dress – Long sleeves and pants may deter mosquitoes
from biting. If the material is light and tight the
mosquitoes can bite right through. Appropriate
clothing, together with use of a repellent, helps to
reduce the risk of mosquito bites.

Educational &
Community Outreach
Communication and education play an important role
in the prevention of WNV. The City of Fort Collins is
cooperating with Larimer County and other regional
entities to conduct a multi-faceted public education
campaign. The purpose of these outreach efforts is to
encourage the following actions by the public and by
City staff:
Take personal protection measures to reduce the risk
of exposure to WNV, including limiting time spent
outdoors from dusk to dawn, wearing appropriate
clothing, and using effective insect repellent.
Reduce mosquito breeding sites by eliminating
standing water.
A variety of communication tools and outreach
methods will be employed to deliver this message:

Program Guidelines
As part of the TAC recommendations the Program
Response Guidelines were created. This is the
operational document that drives the response to the
threat of WNV in the community. There are four
response levels outlined in the guidelines, with triggers
and associated responses to those triggers. Based on
the IPM practice, the most environmentally friendly
measures are used early and often. When necessary, as
the risk increases, emergency response tools are used
to control the amplification of the virus. Please see the
attached Program Response Guidelines.
One of the main surveillance indicators used by the
City to monitor levels of WNV risk is the Vector
Index. This index uses information gathered through
the mosquito monitoring and testing system to
estimate the average number of infected mosquitoes
collected per trap night in the area. By using data
from several years of the City’s surveillance
program and WNV human case reports, the Vector
Index provides an estimate of the risk of a WNV
outbreak and allows the City to take action before
an outbreak occurs.
The sections of the Program Guidelines are
summarized:
OFF SEASON
This time of the year is when the TAC reviews the
previous season’s data and develops strategies for
the next year’s program. The continuous
improvement model would define this as the Check
and Act segments.
LEVEL 1 (EARLY SEASON)
This time of the season has low WNV activity.
While it will be present, it has not been amplified by
the mosquito-bird-mosquito transmission cycle to a
level of more serious risk. The main activities
during this period are: public outreach, larval site
inspections, larval site treatments, source reduction,
inter-agency communication, and adult mosquito
trapping and WNV testing. This period begins in
June and could continue through the entire season
depending on the amplification of the virus in the
natural mosquito-bird-mosquito cycle.
LEVEL 2 (PEAK SEASON WITH
LOW VIRUS ACTIVITY)
During this period, when virus activity is generally
low, preparation and larval management efforts are
increased. Focusing again on enhanced outreach
and control efforts, the program aims to prevent the
amplification of the virus by controlling mosquitoes
in the larval habitats in an effort to keep adult
mosquito abundance low. Human cases may occur
during periods of low virus activity, but cases are
rare and due to the fact that risk of infection cannot
be completely eliminated. During this period,
mosquito abundance and infection rates may be
increasing during this period, but the Vector Index
remains at a lower level, below the threshold for
more active intervention. Level 2 can begin as early
DRAFT WEST NILE PROGRAM MANUAL 13
LEVEL 3 (PEAK SEASON WITH
INCREASING VIRUS ACTIVITY)
There are several triggers that are closely monitored
and evaluated in this level. When the number of
infected mosquitoes has risen to this level, response
actions are intensified. Public outreach is critical to
inform people of the elevated risk of infection and
disease, and to allow individuals to take
preventative measures against exposure to
mosquitoes carrying the virus. All regular control
efforts are continued to attempt to reduce the
production of new mosquitoes and limit the
amplification of the virus. Typically during this
time, the summer temperatures reach their peak and
larvae develop more rapidly, which makes
controlling the larvae a challenge. Inter-agency
communications intensify and it is usually during
this period that evaluation of the surveillance
information will lead the Health Department to issue
a recommendation for adulticiding operations. Per
the City’s policy, this triggers a 24-hour feedback
period for the WNV Advisory Panel, after which the
City Manager will issue the decision for an
application. If adulticiding is initiated, the
notification system is put into motion and route
planning begins while taking into account a
comprehensive list of activities that might conflict
with the application. Typically this level is not seen
until early July and can persist through August, and
in some years into early September.
LEVEL 4 (PEAK SEASON -
EMERGENCY LEVEL)
Similar to Level 3, response actions intensify in
frequency and magnitude. Triggers are monitored,
public outreach is increased, and operations move at
the highest speed possible. If the Health
Department issues an adulticiding recommendation,
the same review process is initiated as in Level 3. In
the event of an application of adulticides the same
procedures are followed as in Level 3. This level is
typically not reached until the end of July and may
persist into September.

WNV ADVISORY PANEL
In 2008, the Advisory Panel was established with
the adoption of the WNV Management Policy
(2008-062). This panel is comprised of three
individuals from three separate groups (Larimer
County medical community, Natural Resources
Advisory Board, Air Quality Advisory Board). The
group was formed to monitor the WNV activity
throughout the season, provide information back to
their constituents and, when appropriate, provide
feedback on all adulticiding recommendations
received from the County Health Department. A
comprehensive description is found in the attached
appendices.

DRAFT WEST NILE PROGRAM MANUAL 15
Larval Management
Larval management is one of the cornerstones of the
mitigation program. Site inspections and treatments
are very effective mosquito control methods. Currently
the larval treatment season runs from June 1 –Aug. 31
each year. Ten years of data show that this is the most
active portion of the year for mosquitoes in Fort
Collins. Technicians are trained to identify larvae of
local WNV mosquito vectors and apply the
appropriate products to control them. The first
consideration for any site is the option of source
reduction to remove the larval habitat.
To date, there are 950 known active larval mosquito
habitats and 457 mandatory sites (weekly or twice per
week inspections based on seasonal potential) included
in the inspection and larviciding programs for the City
of Fort Collins. There were 135 backyard sites
included in the 2013 backyard public inspection
program. An additional 17 new larval sites were added
to the active larval inspection program and 13 new
backyard sites werefound in the service area for Fort
Collins in 2013. Since the inception of the program,
151 sites have been eliminated or physically modified
and no longer have the potential to produce mosquito
larvae; 294 sites have been mapped and listed as not
active due to their low potential to produce mosquito
larvae.
Source reduction is achieved by eliminating mosquito
breeding sites by draining standing water where
possible. There are many areas in town where source
reduction has been achieved successfully. Working
with the Stormwater Utility to maintain and improve
stormwater detention areas so they flow and/or absorb
as quickly as possible is an example of source
reduction. In other wetland areas source reduction is
not feasible as it would have a negative impact on
desirable wetland habitat. Each site is evaluated on an
individual basis so the treatment is appropriate for
each area.
Another option for larval management is the use of
mosquito eating fish. The City’s contractor provides
fathead minnows to residences with ornamental ponds
at no cost to the individual. Each site must be
evaluated to assure the minnows will survive and
provide mosquito larval control.
Technician examining a mosquito dipper for
larvae.
When the use of a larvicide is required to control the
larva there are several factors that are taken into
account so the appropriate product is used. The
general philosophy is to use the product that will be as
targeted and effective as possible while having the
least impact to the environment and human health.
The following is the list of products currently used in
the program:
Vectobac - Bacillus thuringiensis var. Israeli (Bti)
this bacterial product is the preferred larvicide used in
the program. The efficacy, targeted effects and the
reduced environmental impacts make this product an
16 DRAFT WEST NILE PROGRAM MANUAL
through several broods of mosquitoes. Unfortunately it
is cost prohibitive at three times the cost of Bti.
Altosid-Methoprene is a synthetic copy of a juvenile
growth hormone in mosquitoes. This keeps the
mosquito larva from maturing into an adult. One
positive result from this product is that the larva is still
available as a food source for other organisms present
that feed on larva.
Bonide is a light mineral oil that is only used when
pupa is found in the larval site. Once the larva reaches
the pupa stage it will no longer feed, which eliminates
the use of Bti or Bs products. This product is non-
selective in nature as it will eliminate all air-breathing
insects in the water until it dissipates. Typically this
product is used on newly discovered sites or is an
indicator that the reproductive cycles of the
mosquitoes are increasing.
Please refer to appendix for the Material Safety Data
Sheets and labels for each product.
The contractor performs quality control inspections in
the field from June through the first week of July. In
2013, there were a total of 46 sites inspected, with
correct estimation of acreage, product selection and
application rate, thoroughness of inspection and time
spent inspecting occurring at 82.2 percent of the sites.
In 2013, the larviciding program eliminated an
estimated 7 billion mosquito larvae preventing
emergence of biting adults.

Adult Mosquito
Management
SURVEILLANCE
Adult mosquito monitoring (also called surveillance)
is the foundation of a mosquito management program.
The surveillance program tracks the abundance and
locations of Culex mosquitoes and infection levels
when combined with a testing regime for WNV. It
serves as an early warning system of increased risk of
West Nile virus infections. A network of fixed traps
has been placed throughout the city and is used to
develop a base of information that allows
temporal and spatial evaluation of changes in the
mosquito population. Mosquito trapping provides
an estimate of the number and species of
mosquitoes present within a geographical area.
The subsequent testing of Culex vector
mosquitoes for WNV allows for monitoring WNV
infection rates and calculation of the Vector
Index. Knowing where WNV-infected mosquitoes
occur helps to identify areas of high risk, assess
the need for and timing of intervention strategies,
and monitor the effectiveness of prevention and
control measures. There are 43 light traps and 10
gravid traps (see appendix) currently in operation from
June through August each year. Traps are located in a
grid pattern throughout the city (Appendix-Map of
Traps). These traps are set out one night per week
during the season to collect adult mosquitoes. The
light and gravid traps are designed to catch the greatest
number and diversity of mosquitos possible. After
collecting the traps, the mosquitoes are separated by
species, and the two Culex species are sent in separate
batches from each trap (called mosquito “pools”) for
analysis by CSU. This is one of the most extensive
municipal trapping networks in the country. The data
produced is essential in the decision-making process.
TESTING
The second step of the adult mosquito surveillance
program involves testing the submitted pools of
mosquitoes for West Nile virus infection. In 2013,
1,082 pools comprised of 26,113 Culex mosquitoes
were tested for WNV infection. When WNV is found
in the submitted pools the Vector Index is then
calculated (if all mosquito pools are negative for
WNV, then the Vector Index is zero). The Vector
Index estimates the average number of WNV-
infected Culex vector mosquitoes collected per trap
night for a given area. It is monitored on a weekly
basis throughout the season.
In the years when the WNV activity is high a
recommendation to provide adult mosquito control
may come from the Larimer County public health
director, based in large part on the indicators of risk
derived from mosquito trapping and testing.
ADULT MOSQUITO CONTROL
The final element of adult mosquito management is
using pesticide spraying to control adult mosquitoes,
(also called “adulticiding”). Spraying to reduce the
18 DRAFT WEST NILE PROGRAM MANUAL
appendix) It must be noted that the labels and safety
data sheets included in the appendix are designed for
use by the applicators and do not reflect the level of
exposure that a citizen would encounter when these
products are applied.
The intent of the WNV Mitigation Program is to
prevent adulticide applications by first performing
other activities to control mosquitoes and thus prevent
the abundance of WNV-infected mosquitoes (Vector
Index) from reaching the point where emergency
adulticiding is the only remaining option to protect
human health. The program has been successful
without the use of adulticides in half the years since
the WNV appeared in the area. Citywide adult
mosquito spraying for WNV was done only in 2007
and 2013. Smaller sections of the city were sprayed in
2003, 2004, and 2012.
Once a recommendation is received by the City, a 24-
hour feedback period begins for the WNV Advisory
Panel (Appendix-Advisory Panel Guidelines). Once
the panel provides feedback, the decision rests with the
City Manager whether to initiate control operations.
The following flow chart depicts the process following
a recommendation from the County.
Every application of adulticide is done on a two-night
cycle three to five nights apart. This is required due to
the life cycle of the mosquito in combination with the
extremely low levels of pesticide applied in the control
application.
The permethrin-based product used in adulticiding is
applied at a rate of 0.0035 pounds/acre. This is half
the rate or strength recommended by the
manufacturer’s label. The label also allows for up to
22 separate applications per season, which is
substantially higher than has ever been initiated by the
current program. Typically, when adulticiding has
been initiated in Fort Collins, there have been no more
than two cycles (four nights) of application performed
in one season.

INDIVIDUAL PRECAUTIONS
For those concerned about pesticide exposure,
residents can stay indoors and keep doors and
windows closed for 30-60 minutes after spraying
occurs as well as bring pets indoors. A comprehensive
list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) is available
at fcgov.com/westnile/faq.php#4.
PESTICIDE SENSITIVE REGISTRY
The program makes accommodations for individuals
on the Pesticide Sensitive Registry (PSR). The PSR is
maintained by the Colorado Department of Agriculture
and requires the endorsement of a Colorado licensed
physician to verify the evidence of chemical sensitivity
in an individual. The Department of Agriculture
specifically exempts the use of the registry for
mosquito control. The City of Fort Collins WNV
Management Policy uses this registry to provide an
enhanced level of protection for individuals that have
proven their sensitivity to pesticides.
In 2004, the WNV response program allowed an opt-
out option during spraying, but it was extremely
challenging to operate, could not guarantee that spray
did not drift onto opt-out properties, and likely
inhibited the effectiveness of the spraying program, so
it was eliminated.

Continuous
Improvement
Per the City’s WNV Management Policy the TAC
meets on a regular basis to ensure efficacy of the
program. Following the precepts of continuous
improvement the steps to Plan, Do, Check and Act are
initiated to assist with efficacy assurance. In years
where adulticides have not been used, the review is
fairly simple with a post- and pre-season meeting
scheduled. In years when adulticides have been
utilized the review is more robust and thorough.
Currently, the Best Management Practice protocols
suggested by the states of California, Washington and
Florida, and the Xerces Society for Invertebrate
Conservation (xerces.org) are being reviewed. The
intent is to incorporate and potentially adopt new ideas
and/or procedures to enhance the current program.
The greatest danger is complacency when the virus
does not amplify during consecutive seasons. Since
the virus is now endemic to the area it requires
diligence in staying abreast of the intensity of the virus
to prevent long-term effects on the residents.

Approving an Amendment to the Redevelopment And Reimbursement Agreement with the

Regarding the Redevelopment of Foothills Mall, Postponed to May 6, 2014
The following is the staff memorandum for this item.
“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to amend the Foothills Mall Redevelopment Agreement. The
Developer has asked to amend Section 3.1 - Conditions Precedent to Issuance of District Bonds of
the Agreement, to allow the Metro District Bonds to be issued with 155k square feet of executed
leases vs. the 240k square feet required in the current agreement. The Developer is also asking
for clarification to Section 4.3 - Construction of Residential Component of Project: Affordable
Housing, concerning the period of time the Developer may be required to make payments to the
City if there is a delay in the completion of the residential units.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Amendment to Section 3.1(c)
Section 3.1 - Conditions Precedent to Issuance of District Bonds was included in the agreement to
provide the City assurance that prior to the City granting authorization to the District to issue the
bonds that the project financing is in place and all project approvals have been received. Section
3.1 details 7 conditions that must be met by the Developer prior to the issuance of the District
Bonds. The seven conditions are summarized below:
a. District Financing Plan approved by the City Manager.
b. Provide evidence that the Developer has obtained all equity and private financing
necessary to construct the non-residential components of the Project.
c. Obtain 240k square feet of executed leased space with 120k square feet of tenants new
to Fort Collins at an average sales per square foot of $375.
d. Add-On PIF imposed in accordance with Section 4.7.
e. Obtain all Development Approvals for the Project.
f. Satisfactory opinion by District’s bond counsel.
g. No event of default shall have occurred.
The Developer has indicated they are prepared to meet 6 of these conditions and are requesting a
modification to 3.1(c), concerning the square footage of lease space required before issuance.
The Developer currently has approximately 90k square feet of leases executed and anticipates
having approximately 195k square feet leased by May 2014. A combination of factors has
negatively impacted the current volume of executed leases:
Packet Pg. 5
Attachment1.1: April 15, 2014 (URA Minutes - 0415)
April 15, 2014
292
1. The delay from an anticipated 2014 opening to a 2015 opening.
2. Timing uncertainty of the 2015 opening until the Redevelopment Agreement was
signed in January of 2014.
3. A leasing strategy that focuses on critical retailers first, who once signed, will attract
other quality retailers.
4. Retailers are currently focused on leases for 2014 openings and will focus on leases to
support 2015 openings later in this year.
The Developer has requested an amendment to the agreement that would allow for the issuance of
District bonds with 155k square feet leased including 90k square feet of tenants new to Fort
Collins. However, only $23M of the $53M of bond proceeds would be released to the project.
The remaining $30M of bond proceeds would be held in escrow by the Bond Trustee and would
only be released in tranches to the project as additional leases are executed by the developer.

Table A details the additional square feet of executed leases required by the developer to receive
additional funding. As each 50k of additional leases are executed, combined with a corresponding
increase in leases associated with tenants new to Fort Collins, funding will be released by the
Bond Trustee in increments of $10M. In comparison to the original agreement, the Developer
must now obtain 310k square feet of executed leases (60% of the total Mall) before all funds are
April 15, 2014

issuance of the bonds could have multiple adverse effects on the project:
1. The equity partner and the construction financier require all funding be closed
simultaneously. A delay in the issuance of the District Bonds will delay the closing on the
construction financing.
2. A delay in the close of the project financing opens the possibility of rising interest rates
adding significant cost to the project.
3. Construction timing is critical, a delay of several weeks in closing all financing will delay
construction start-up which in turn will delay the opening in 2015.
4. A delay in the 2015 mall opening will void current executed leases which specify a 2015
opening.
5. A delay in the 2015 mall opening will put at risk other interested retailers given the
projects timing uncertainty. Some of these retailers may elect to locate elsewhere within
the northern Colorado region and be lost to the Mall project indefinitely.
The Developer’s Equity Partner, has agreed to provide additional security and financing to
support the project and maintain the current timeline. Current equity investment in the project is
approximately $57M and will most likely increase by the time all financing is closed. This is 40%
to 50% higher than their original intentions. In addition, the Equity Partner has agreed to
provide 100% recourse vs. the normal 50% recourse on the $100M plus construction loan. Both
actions demonstrate confidence in the project.
Risks and Implications Associated with the Amendment to Section 3.1(c):
Risks and implications associated with the amendment vary by party associated with the
agreement. Risks revolve around what can be described as “Start-Up Risk”. Start-Up Risk can
be defined as the bonds are issued but something catastrophic occurs that prevents the mall from
being completed and fully leased out.
City Risk/Implications - In the event the bonds are issued and the mall is not completed, there is
no financial obligation on the part of the City beyond the pledge of Sales Tax Increment from sales
at the Mall. Issuing the bonds with 155k vs. 240k square feet of leased space does not increase
financial risk to the City. The structure of financing was intentionally set up to issue the bonds via
the Metro District, avoid creating a debt obligation on the part of the City and allow the City to
avoid the Start-Up Risk.
Interest Rate Risk - Current macro-economic indicators point to a rising interest rate environment
in the near term. A delay in the issuance of the bonds in a rising rate environment could have a
significant impact on the financing cost of the project. A 1% increase in interest rates on the
bonds (all else held constant) would require an additional $17M of Sales Tax Increment from the
URA to meet the bond payments. The Developer would also potentially experience additional
financing costs associated with the construction loan.
Developer Risk/Implications - The Developer will not have a financial gain with the proposed
amendment. The benefit to the Developer is the project would proceed on the current planned
timeline without the adverse impact of the effects of a delay described above.
Packet Pg. 7
Attachment1.1: April 15, 2014 (URA Minutes - 0415)
April 15, 2014
294
Metro District Risk/Implications - The risk to the District is related to Start-Up Risk and when
such an event occurred relative to the square footage of executed leases.
If an event occurred after 240k square feet of leases are executed, in the current agreement, all
$72M of bonds would be issued and outstanding. In the amended agreement, only $33M of the
bond proceeds would have been disbursed and the remaining $20M of proceeds would be
available for an extraordinary redemption of outstanding bonds, thereby reducing the future
obligations of the District. If the event occurred prior to the Developer achieving 255k square
feet of executed leases, the amended agreement would be beneficial to the District. If such an
event occurred after 310k square feet of executed leases were obtained, there is no difference
between the two alternatives.
If an event occurred after 155k square feet of leases were executed but before 240k square feet of
leases were executed, in the current agreement, no bonds would have been issued. In the
amended agreement, $23M to $33M of the bond proceeds would have been disbursed and the
remaining $20M to $30M of proceeds would be available for an extraordinary redemption of the
outstanding bonds. There is risk in the amended agreement during the time it takes the Developer
to move from 155k to 240k square feet of leased space. Again, there is no financial risk to the City
in this case. This risk can be evaluated based on two factors - probability and severity. The
probability of an event occurring during the 4-6 months it will take the Developer to acquire the
240k square feet of leases vs. the 155k square feet of leases is very low. The severity could be
high. Approximately $41M of bonds would be outstanding plus additional capitalized interest
would be incurred if $30M of proceeds were used for an early redemption. The Start-Up Risk
exists with the current agreement and with the amended agreement, the difference relates to
whether an event would occur during the next 4-6 months that would ultimately cause the Bonds to
not be issued.
Because (1) there is no added risk to the City, (2) the risk to the District is not significantly
different between authorizing bonds with 240k of leased space vs. authorizing bonds with 155k of
lease space and putting funds in escrow that can only be fully released once 310k of space is
leased,( 3) the risk of delay to the construction timeline would most likely adversely impact the
projects lease opportunities and completion dates, and 4) potential higher interest rates with a late
2014 issuance would require additional sales tax increment to cover bond payments, staff
recommends making the requested modifications to the agreement.
Amendment to Section 4.3
Section 4.3 - Construction of Residential Component of Project: Affordable Housing. of the
agreement was intended to provide a partial offset to lost residential property tax increment in the
event the developer does not meet the construction completion dates described in section 4.3. The
50% payments of the lost property tax revenue by the developer was intended to only be in effect
until the residential units are completed and property tax revenue begins to flow to the URA and
then to the Metro District.
The current wording in the agreement has been questioned by the District bond council, who
interpret the current wording to require the developer to continue making the 50% payments after

the residential units are complete if the original construction completion dates in the agreement
are not met.
Staff concurs this was not the intent of this section and agree clarification is needed to indicate the
50% payment is only required if the construction completion dates within the agreement are not
met and only until the residential units are complete and tax revenue is realized by the Metro
District.
The Council Finance Committee will review this item on Friday, April 11. Draft minutes from
that meeting will be provided in the read-before packet on Tuesday, April 15.”
Chair Weitkunat withdrew from the discussion of this item due to a conflict of interest.
Boardmember Campana made a motion, seconded by Boardmember Troxell, to postpone
Resolution No. 070 to the May 6, 2014 meeting.
Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant, stated monies that would otherwise be available to future
Councils are being directed to the repayment of the bonds in this deal and are therefore
unconstitutional.
Mike Pruznick, Fort Collins resident, requested that any type of meeting with boards and
commissions chairs is properly noticed and includes public comment and requested additional

SUBJECT
Resolution No. 070 Approving An Amendment To The Redevelopment And Reimbursement Agreement With
The City , Walton Foothills Holdings VI, L.L.C., And The Foothills Metropolitan District Regarding The
Redevelopment of Foothills Mall.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to amend the Foothills Mall Redevelopment Agreement. The Developer has asked
to amend Section 3.1 - Conditions Precedent to Issuance of District Bonds of the Agreement to allow the Metro
District Bonds to be issued with 155k square feet of executed leases vs. the 240k square feet required in the
current agreement. The Developer is also asking for clarification to Section 4.3 - Construction of Residential
Component of Project: Affordable Housing concerning the period of time the Developer may be required to
make payments to the City if there is a delay in the completion of the residential units and Section 3.2(c) (now
Section 3.2(g)) - Provisions to be Included in District Bond Documents concerning the order in which the
Reserve and the Supplemental Reserve would be utilized.
Six additional refinements to the Agreement are recapped below to address concerns raised by the URA
Board.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution;
1. Staff recommends approving the modifications and structure of bond fund releases in Section 3.1.
2. Staff recommends approving the requested clarification to Section 4.3 and 3.2(c).
3. Staff recommends approving the six additional refinements to the Agreement
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Attachment 1 is the Agenda Item Summary from April 15th concerning the details behind the modifications
requested for Sections 3.1 and 4.3.
Amendment to Section 3.2
The current redevelopment agreement details two unique reserve accounts that will be established as part of
the Metro District bond offering. The first, “Reserve”, is typical to bond transactions where 10% of the bond
proceeds are set aside in a reserve account. The Reserve is funded directly from bond proceeds and is
funded at the time the bonds close. The second, “Supplemental Reserve”, has been added as a credit
enhancement. The Supplemental Reserve is funded from revenues from the project and is built up over the
Packet Pg. 11
Agenda Item 2
Item # 2 Page 2
first few years of the project. Specifically, each year, if the combined pledged revenues exceed the bond
payment requirement, the excess is put into a Supplemental Reserve account by the Bond Trustee until the
Supplemental Reserve is fully funded at 10% of the initial bond value. The two reserves will each hold $7.2M
assuming a $72M bond offering for a combined total of $14.4M of reserves.
Section 3.2(c) - Provisions to be included in District Bond Documents within the original agreement (Section
3.2(g) in the proposed modification document) specifies that in the event there are insufficient revenues from
all sources to support the debt payments, the Reserve would be used first and the Supplemental Reserve
would be used second. Use of the Reserve to support debt payments would trigger various regulatory filings
on the part of the District and put the bonds in default.
The Supplemental Reserve was intended to be a credit enhancement to the bond offering and was designed to
provide a buffer to the Reserve in the event of insufficient revenues. As such, the Supplemental Reserve
should be used first to avoid default and regulatory filings associated with using the Reserve first. Using the
Reserve first negates the credit enhancement feature the Supplemental Reserve was designed to provide.
Thereis no anticipated adverse financial impact to the City with this clarification.
Additional Refinements
To further refine the agreement and address several concerns raised by the URA Board, five additional
modifications have been discussed and agreed upon with the Developer since the April 15th URA Board
discussion. These changes are included in the attached proposed modifications:
1. Section 3.1(c) has been modified to require 120,000 vs. 90,000 square feet of tenants new to Fort
Collins except that the City Manager shall have the authority to deem this requirement has been met if
the square footage of tenants new to Fort Collins is between 90,000 and 120,000 square feet and the
City Manager has determined that it is in the best interest of the City to do so.
2. Section 3.2(c) has been added that requires a certificate of completion on the core and shell of the
new Sears building before the release of the fourth tranche funds.
3. Section 3.2(e) has been added that stipulates the Developer will not be reimbursed from bond
proceeds for expenditures to date on public improvements until the Developer has achieved at least
255,000 square feet of executed leased space.
4. Section 4.1(a) has been modified to allow the City Manager or City Attorney to inspect and review
executed leases subject to confidentiality provisions contained in the individual leases. Developer will
use reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of retailers where such consent is required.
5. Sections 25.5 & 26 have been modified to clarify that the City Manager, in consultation with legal
counsel, has the authority to amend the agreement provided there is no change or adverse impact to
the City’s financial interests or substantial change to the scope or general character of the project.
6. Sections 4.7 & 5.1 have been modified to strengthen the agreement to ensure the PIF covenant
remains in place and the mill levy cap and debt limits defined in the Metro District Service Plan can be
enforced.
Other minor revisions have also been made. All revisions are highlighted on Attachment 3.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
City Council directed staff to meet with boards and commissions to gather input and feedback on the proposed
changes to the agreement. The following meetings have occurred:
Staff met with the Economic Advisory Commission on April 17th and again on April 28th

SUBJECT
Resolution 2014-032 Approving an Amendment to the Redevelopment and Reimbursement Agreement with
the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority, Walton Foothills Holdings VI, L.L.C. and the Foothills Metropolitan
District Regarding the Redevelopment of Foothills Mall.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to amend the Foothills Mall Redevelopment Agreement. The Developer has asked
to amend Section 3.1 – Conditions Precedent to Issuance of District Bonds of the Agreement, to allow the
Metro District Bonds to be issued with 155k square feet of executed leases vs. the 240k square feet required in
the current agreement. The Developer is also asking for clarification to Section 4.3 – Construction of
Residential Component of Project: Affordable Housing, concerning the period of time the Developer may be
required to make payments to the City if there is a delay in the completion of the residential units.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Amendment to Section 3.1(c)
Section 3.1 - Conditions Precedent to Issuance of District Bonds was included in the agreement to provide the
City assurance that prior to the City granting authorization to the District to issue the bonds that the project
financing is in place and all project approvals have been received. Section 3.1 details 7 conditions that must
be met by the Developer prior to the issuance of the District Bonds. The seven conditions are summarized
below:
a. District Financing Plan approved by the City Manager.
b. Provide evidence that the Developer has obtained all equity and private financing necessary to
construct the non-residential components of the Project.
c. Obtain 240k square feet of executed leased space with 120k square feet of tenants new to Fort
Collins at an average sales per square foot of $375.
d. Add-On PIF imposed in accordance with Section 4.7.
e. Obtain all Development Approvals for the Project.
f. Satisfactory opinion by District’s bond counsel.
g. No event of default shall have occurred.
The Developer has indicated they are prepared to meet 6 of these conditions and are requesting a modification
to 3.1(c), concerning the square footage of lease space required before issuance. The Developer currently
has approximately 90k square feet of leases executed and anticipates having approximately 195k square feet
leased by May 2014. A combination of factors has negatively impacted the current volume of executed leases:
ATTACHMENT 1
Packet Pg. 14
Attachment2.1: Copy of Agenda Item Summary, April 15, 2014 (URA-Foothills Mall Amendment)
Agenda Item 17
Item # 17 Page 2
1. The delay from an anticipated 2014 opening to a 2015 opening.
2. Timing uncertainty of the 2015 opening until the Redevelopment Agreement was signed in
January of 2014.
3. A leasing strategy that focuses on critical retailers first, who once signed, will attract other quality
retailers.
4. Retailers are currently focused on leases for 2014 openings and will focus on leases to support
2015 openings later in this year.
The Developer has requested an amendment to the agreement that would allow for the issuance of District
bonds with 155k square feet leased including 90k square feet of tenants new to Fort Collins. However, only
$23M of the $53M of bond proceeds would be released to the project. The remaining $30M of bond proceeds
would be held in escrow by the Bond Trustee and would only be released in tranches to the project as
additional leases are executed by the developer.

4 310k 150k 53 2 129% 60%
Table A details the additional square feet of executed leases required by the developer to receive additional
funding. As each 50k of additional leases are executed, combined with a corresponding increase in leases
associated with tenants new to Fort Collins, funding will be released by the Bond Trustee in increments of
$10M. In comparison to the original agreement, the Developer must now obtain 310k square feet of executed
leases (60% of the total Mall) before all funds are made available (vs. 240k square feet (47% of the total Mall)
in the original agreement). The amount of leased space to tenants new to Fort Collins has also increased from
120k to 150k. In addition, a portion of each tranche released would be assigned to the Underpass and
Foothills Activity Center portion of the project.
Waiting until the developer has obtained the required 240k square feet of leased space prior to the issuance of
the bonds could have multiple adverse effects on the project:
1. The equity partner and the construction financier require all funding be closed simultaneously. A delay
in the issuance of the District Bonds will delay the closing on the construction financing.
2. A delay in the close of the project financing opens the possibility of rising interest rates adding
significant cost to the project.
3. Construction timing is critical, a delay of several weeks in closing all financing will delay construction
start-up which in turn will delay the opening in 2015.
4. A delay in the 2015 mall opening will void current executed leases which specify a 2015 opening.
5. A delay in the 2015 mall opening will put at risk other interested retailers given the projects timing
uncertainty. Some of these retailers may elect to locate elsewhere within the northern Colorado region
and be lost to the Mall project indefinitely.

Attachment2.1: Copy of Agenda Item Summary, April 15, 2014 (URA-Foothills Mall Amendment)
Agenda Item 17
Item # 17 Page 3
The Developer’s Equity Partner has agreed to provide additional security and financing to support the project
and maintain the current timeline. Current equity investment in the project is approximately $57M and will
most likely increase by the time all financing is closed. This is 40% to 50% higher than their original intentions.
In addition, the Equity Partner has agreed to provide 100% recourse vs. the normal 50% recourse on the
$100M plus construction loan. Both actions demonstrate confidence in the project.
Risks and Implications Associated with the Amendment to Section 3.1(c):
Risks and implications associated with the amendment vary by party associated with the agreement. Risks
revolve around what can be described as “Start-Up Risk”. Start-Up Risk can be defined as the bonds are
issued but something catastrophic occurs that prevents the mall from being completed and fully leased out.
City Risk/Implications – In the event the bonds are issued and the mall is not completed, there is no financial
obligation on the part of the City beyond the pledge of Sales Tax Increment from sales at the Mall. Issuing the
bonds with 155k vs. 240k square feet of leased space does not increase financial risk to the City. The
structure of financing was intentionally set up to issue the bonds via the Metro District, avoid creating a debt
obligation on the part of the City and allow the City to avoid the Start-Up Risk.
Interest Rate Risk – Current macro-economic indicators point to a rising interest rate environment in the near
term. A delay in the issuance of the bonds in a rising rate environment could have a significant impact on the
financing cost of the project. A 1% increase in interest rates on the bonds (all else held constant) would
require an additional $17M of Sales Tax Increment from the URA to meet the bond payments. The Developer
would also potentially experience additional financing costs associated with the construction loan.
Developer Risk/Implications – The Developer will not have a financial gain with the proposed amendment.
The benefit to the Developer is the project would proceed on the current planned timeline without the adverse
impact of the effects of a delay described above.
Metro District Risk/Implications - The risk to the District is related to Start-Up Risk and when such an event
occurred relative to the square footage of executed leases.
If an event occurred after 240k square feet of leases are executed, in the current agreement, all $72M of
bonds would be issued and outstanding. In the amended agreement, only $33M of the bond proceeds would
have been disbursed and the remaining $20M of proceeds would be available for an extraordinary redemption
of outstanding bonds, thereby reducing the future obligations of the District. If the event occurred prior to the
Developer achieving 255k square feet of executed leases, the amended agreement would be beneficial to the
District. If such an event occurred after 310k square feet of executed leases were obtained, there is no
difference between the two alternatives.
If an event occurred after 155k square feet of leases were executed but before 240k square feet of leases
were executed, in the current agreement, no bonds would have been issued. In the amended agreement,
$23M to $33M of the bond proceeds would have been disbursed and the remaining $20M to $30M of proceeds
would be available for an extraordinary redemption of the outstanding bonds. There is risk in the amended
agreement during the time it takes the Developer to move from 155k to 240k square feet of leased space.
Again, there is no financial risk to the City in this case. This risk can be evaluated based on two factors –
probability and severity. The probability of an event occurring during the 4-6 months it will take the Developer
to acquire the 240k square feet of leases vs. the 155k square feet of leases is very low. The severity could be
high. Approximately $41M of bonds would be outstanding plus additional capitalized interest would be
incurred if $30M of proceeds were used for an early redemption. The Start-Up Risk exists with the current
agreement and with the amended agreement, the difference relates to whether an event would occur during
the next 4-6 months that would ultimately cause the Bonds to not be issued.
Because (1) there is no added risk to the City, (2) the risk to the District is not significantly different between
authorizing bonds with 240k of leased space vs. authorizing bonds with 155k of lease space and putting funds
in escrow that can only be fully released once 310k of space is leased,( 3) the risk of delay to the construction

Item # 17 Page 4
timeline would most likely adversely impact the projects lease opportunities and completion dates, and 4)
potential higher interest rates with a late 2014 issuance would require additional sales tax increment to cover
bond payments, staff recommends making the requested modifications to the agreement.
Amendment to Section 4.3
Section 4.3 – Construction of Residential Component of Project: Affordable Housing. of the agreement was
intended to provide a partial offset to lost residential property tax increment in the event the developer does not
meet the construction completion dates described in section 4.3. The 50% payments of the lost property tax
revenue by the developer was intended to only be in effect until the residential units are completed and
property tax revenue begins to flow to the URA and then to the Metro District.
The current wording in the agreement has been questioned by the District bond council, who interpret the
current wording to require the developer to continue making the 50% payments after the residential units are
complete if the original construction completion dates in the agreement are not met.
Staff concurs this was not the intent of this section and agree clarification is needed to indicate the 50%
payment is only required if the construction completion dates within the agreement are not met and only until
the residential units are complete and tax revenue is realized by the Metro District.
The Council Finance Committee will review this on Friday, April 11. Draft minutes from that meeting will be
provided in the read-before packet on Tuesday, April 15.

(c) The Developer shall have obtained executed lease agreements, excluding
the existing department store located on Larimer County Parcel Number 9725391002,
totaling at least 240,000155,000 square footage of the retail area of the Project with
tenants that, in the aggregate, have an average sales per square foot of at least $375 based
on average national sales performance, and, except as hereinafter provided, of which at
least 90,000120,000 square feet shall be leased to Tenants New to Fort Collins, except
that the City Manager shall have the authority to deem this requirement has been

(f) After the debt service requirements on the District Bonds have been paid
or provided for in each Fiscal Year, and after all payments have been made to replenish
the reserve fund for the District Bonds and to make any payments into any required
rebate funds for the District Bonds, any excess Pledged Revenues shall be applied by the
District Bond Trustee as follows:
(i) To the extent required by the underwriter of the District Bonds
based on market conditions, the District Bond Documents may establish a
supplemental reserve fund (the “Supplemental Reserve Fund”) and provide that
any excess Pledged Revenue shall be deposited into the Supplemental Reserve
Fund to be maintained in an amount that is not more than 10% of the original
aggregate principal amount of the District Bonds. The District Bond Trustee shall
keep a record of the sources of the Pledged Revenue that are used to fund and
maintain the Supplemental Reserve Fund, if any.
(ii) After the Supplemental Reserve Fund, if any, has been fully
funded, any excess Pledged Revenues shall be applied by the District Bond
Trustee as follows:
(A) The District, the City and the Authority hereby
agree pursuant to Section 31-25-107(11) C.R.S. that any such
excess Sales Tax Increment Revenues shall be released from the
lien of the District Bond Documents and remitted by the District
Bond Trustee to the City. The District Bond Documents shall
provide that the City is a third-party beneficiary under the District
Bond Documents with respect to this provision relating to the
requirement of remitting any excess Sales Tax Increment Revenues
to the City as set forth above.
(B) Any excess Add-On PIF Revenues shall be applied
by the District Bond Trustee to prepay principal on the District
Bonds upon payment of all scheduled debt service for the year in
which said Add-On PIF Revenues were collected. In the event that
Add-On PIF Revenues are used to fund or maintain the
Supplemental Reserve Fund and are released after full payment of
Packet Pg. 262
Attachment1: Exhibit A (Foothills Mall Agreement Revision RESO)
6
the District Bonds, excess Add-On PIF Revenues shall be remitted
to the District for deposit in the Foothills Mall Fund.
(C) Any excess Pledged Property Tax Increment
Revenues shall be released from the lien of the District Bond
Documents and remitted to the Authority.
(D) Any excess Pledged District Specific Ownership
Taxes and District Debt Service Mill Levy Revenues shall be
applied by the District Bond Trustee to debt service payments on
the District Bonds in the following year.
(g) Except as may be expressly agreed to the contrary in writing by the
District, the City Manager on behalf of the City, and the Authority Executive Director on
behalf of the Authority, the District Bond Documents shall provide that moneys on
deposit in the Supplemental Reserve Fund shall be applied solely to pay the debt service
requirements on the District Bonds in the event of an insufficiency of Pledged Revenues
to make such payments, provided, however, that all moneys on deposit in the reserve
fund for the District Bonds must first have been applied to the payment of the debt
service requirements on the District Bonds prior to applying any funds on deposit in the
Supplemental Reserve Fund to such payment. Upon termination of the Supplemental
Reserve Fund, the moneys on deposit in the Supplemental Reserve Fund shall be remitted
by the District Bond Trustee based on the source of Pledged Revenues used to fund and
maintain the Supplemental Reserve Fund in accordance with the provisions set forth in
subparagraph (d)(ii) above, except as may otherwise be provided in the District Bond
Documents with the consent of the District, the City Manager on behalf of the City and
the Authority Executive Director on behalf of the Authority, notwithstanding the terms of
subparagraph (d)(ii), above.
(h) The District Bond Documents shall provide that the net proceeds of the
Bonds shall be deposited in the Project Fund and requisitioned by the District to pay
Eligible Costs as set forth in Exhibit D hereof, with such requisitions to be made
substantially in accordance with Exhibit E hereof. The District Bond Documents shall
provide that any requisition remitted to the District Bond Trustee shall simultaneously be
remitted to the City Manager, or the City Manager’s designee. In the event that the City
provides written notice to the Developer and the District that it disputes that all or any
portion of the requisition qualifies as an Eligible Cost or otherwise fails to comply with
the requisition requirements in Exhibit E, then the City, the Developer and the District
agree to act in good faith to attempt to resolve any such dispute.
(i) Without the prior written consent of the City Manager, the District Bonds
shall mature no later than 25 years after the date of issuance thereof, and shall not contain
Packet Pg. 263
Attachment1: Exhibit A (Foothills Mall Agreement Revision RESO)

The City acknowledges that Developer has identified or may identify certain information

judicial declaration preventing disclosure. The Developer shall reimburse the City for
any attorneys’ fees or costs incurred by the City or that the City is ordered to pay in
connection with such proceedings.

maintain the confidentiality of such information to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as set forth in Section 4.1(a), above. Subject to confidentiality
provisions contained in individual leases with which Developer must comply, and to the
above provisions regarding confidentiality of proprietary business information,

delegates) to inspect those portions of executed leases or other documents reasonably
necessary in order to verify the information set forth in the certifications referenced in

efforts to obtain consent from the retailers who are parties to such leases, where such
consent is required, in order to make such information available to the City.

Agreement, provided, however, that if Construction of the residential components of the Project
is not Completed as set forth above, then beginning with the 2020 Fiscal Year, the Developer
shall be obligated to pay in such Fiscal Year and each Fiscal Year thereafter, regardless of
whether the Developer is the owner of the Property on which the residential component of the
Project is to be constructed, an amount equal to 50% of the difference between the Pledged

Attachment1: Exhibit A (Foothills Mall Agreement Revision RESO)

extent that any Pledged Sales Tax Increment Revenues are applied in such fiscal year to the
payment of the debt service requirements on the District Bonds; and (ii) to the extent that such
payment is not due and owing to the City in any fiscal year, the balance of any such amount to be
paid by the Developer in such fiscal year shall be applied toward principal on the District Bonds.

Project. Any affordable housing impact fee that may be adopted as part of such requirements
shall be paid by the Developer when due for the Project, except that for any portion of the
Project developed prior to the imposition of the fee, such fee shall be paid no later than sixty
days after adoption.

impose the Add-On PIF on retail sales occurring on the Property that are subject to the
City’s Sales Tax, provided, however, that in connection with any property that is not
owned by the Developer as of the Effective Date, the Developer shall use its best efforts
to impose such Add-On PIF on such retail sales occurring on any such Property, subject
to the consent of the owners of such Property. Except as provided herein, all property
under the Developer’s control as of the Effective Date shall be made subject to the Add-
On PIF, and any property within the Project acquired by the Developer subsequent to the
Effective Date shall become subject to this requirement. This requirement shall not apply
to those portions of the Property or later acquired property governed by existing leases,
until the expiration or termination of said existing leases, provided that Developer shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consent from the retailers who are parties
to such leases to become subject to the same. The Add-On PIF shall be imposed only for
so long as the District Bonds are outstanding. So long as the District Bonds are
outstanding, the Developer covenants to cause all Add-On PIF Revenues to be remitted to
the District Bond Trustee and such Add-On PIF Revenues shall be pledged to the
payment of the District Bonds. To the extent that the Add-On PIF is imposed prior to the

Revenues to be held in a trust account and remitted to the District Bond Trustee upon the
initial issuance of the District Bonds. The Developer agrees that it shall be responsible

for enforcing the placard requirements and for the implementation of the Add-On PIF
with the retailers in the Project.
(b) The Add-On PIF shall be imposed and collected as required by this section
through the PIF Covenant. The PIF Covenant shall provide that during the term that the
Add-On PIF is to be imposed and collected under this Agreement, the PIF Covenant may
not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in any manner inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement without the City’s prior written consent. The PIF Covenant shall
be reviewed by the City Attorney to determine that the PIF Covenant satisfies the
applicable requirements of this Agreement. The City Attorney shall have twenty-one
(21) days after its submittal to the City to review and provide comments in writing to the
Developer with regard to the same. In the event the City Attorney’s written approval or
disapproval is not provided to the Developer within such period, the PIF Covenant shall
be deemed approved by the City. Upon approval and in connection with the closing of
the construction loan referenced in Section 3.1(b)(2), the Developer shall record the PIF
Covenant with the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder to encumber the Property as
provided in this section and the PIF Covenant so recorded shall be prior to all liens,
except liens for property taxes.

read as follows:
4.8 Access to Property. Developer will make arrangements for representatives of the

to the Property and the Project at reasonable times during regular business hours and with prior
notice as necessary for the purpose of carrying out or determining compliance with the
Agreement, the Urban Renewal Plan, or any City code or ordinance, including, without
limitation, inspection of any work being conducted. No compensation will be payable for such
access. The City and the Authority, as applicable, agree to restore the Property and any
component of the Project to its condition prior to any tests or inspections made by the City and

Authority, as applicable, accessing the Property pursuant to their respective rights under this
Agreement, to the extent permitted by law and, in the case of the City, subject to annual
appropriation of funds by the City Council, in its sole discretion.

9. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 5.1. Section 5.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to
read as follows:
5.1 Compliance with Service Plan and Applicable Law. At all times the District will
comply with the requirements of the Service Plan as it may be amended from time to time. The
District further agrees that it will not make any material modification to the Service Plan without
first obtaining the City Council’s approval of that modification, as required in CRS Section 32-1-
207. For purposes of this Agreement, a “material modification” shall include, without limitation,
any increase in the “Maximum Debt Authorization,” “Maximum Debt Maturity Term” or in the
“Maximum Debt Service Mill Levy,” as these terms are defined in the Service Plan. The
District’s failure to obtain the City Council’s approval shall be deemed an Event of Default
under Sections 18 and 19 hereof. To the extent authorized by its Service Plan, the District may
design, construct, finance, own, acquire, maintain, and operate Eligible Improvements in
accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, standards, policies, and specifications of the
State of Colorado, the City, and any other entity with jurisdiction. The City and the District

adverse effect on the City’s or Authority’s financial interests under this Agreement, or
result in a significant change to the scope or general character of the Project from that
defined in this Agreement.
11. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 26. Section 26 of the Agreement is hereby amended to
read as follows:
26. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
At First Reading of Ordinance No. 052, 2014, Vacating Scott Avenue Right-of-Way, there was discussion
regarding public outreach related to the Scott Avenue vacation request and the Scott Plaza Project
Development Plan (PDP). Public outreach for the Scott Plaza PDP and the Scott Avenue vacation request
were as follows:
A neighborhood meeting was held on August 22, 2013, to discuss the components of the proposed
Scott Plaza PDP.
On December 23, 2014, notice was sent regarding the Planning and Zoning Board Public Hearing for
the Scott Plaza PDP. It recently came to staffs attention that the advertising of the January 9, 2014
Planning and Zoning Board Hearing for the Scott Plaza PDP was deficient as the mailing list failed to
include some nearby property owners.
To provide an opportunity for additional public comment, a neighborhood meeting was held on April
28, 2014 to discuss the proposed Scott Avenue right-of-way vacation as it relates to the surrounding
neighborhood context and the Campus West Community Commercial District Planning Study Report
(2001).

The process for vacating public right-of-way is governed by City Code Section 23-115, which provides the
application and review process necessary for formal City Council consideration. The review process includes
public notification and review of the request by potentially affected utility agencies, City staff, emergency
service providers, and affected property owners adjacent to the proposed right-of-way to be vacated. This
review process was followed in conjunction with the review of the Scott Plaza Development Plan. On January
29, 2014, mail notification was sent to the property owners adjacent to Scott Avenue regarding the request to
vacate Scott Avenue.

Tyler Siegmund, Civil Engineer
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 052, 2014, Vacating Scott Avenue Right-of-Way as Dedicated at Book 1174,
Page 543 of the Larimer County Records.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to vacate Scott Avenue right-of-way that is no longer necessary or desirable to
retain for public street purposes. This location will be the future site of the Scott Plaza development project,
which was approved at the Planning and Zoning Board Public Hearing on January 9, 2014.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 1962, a 25-foot wide strip of land south of Plum Street between Shields Street and City Park Avenue was
dedicated to the City (Book 1174, Page 543), by the adjacent property owner (1201 Plum Street) at no
expense to the City, for street right-of-way purposes. The owner of the properties at 813 Scott Avenue, 1201
West Plum Street and 1205 West Plum Street has requested that the City vacate this 25 foot by 335 foot strip
of land that is adjacent to the properties. The applicant has requested this vacation because they wish to
redevelop their property that is adjacent to Scott Avenue. Scott Avenue is not paved and only provides access
to the existing residential units at 813 Scott Avenue and 1201 Plum Street. The existing residential units on
813 Scott Avenue and 1201 Plum Street will be removed as part of the Scott Plaza development proposal.
With the vacation of right-of-way, easements for access, emergency access, drainage and utilities would be
retained, preserving rights to utilize the vacated portion for these purposes.
The Campus West Planning Study Report (December 2001) identifies that a pedestrian or vehicular
connection should be provided at this location that, in the future, should extend to Elizabeth Street. Through
the development review process it has been determined that a pedestrian connection will provide the desired
connectivity that is outlined in the study and will be accommodated by the Scott Plaza development plan and
retention of the area as an access easement. At such time that the property to the south redevelops (1220
West Elizabeth Street) the pedestrian connection that is being provided with the Scott Plaza project will be
continued south to Elizabeth Street.
A memorandum requesting input about the vacation of Scott Avenue was sent to the utility providers,
potentially impacted City departments and adjacent property owners. The neighboring property owner at 1113
West Plum Street has expressed opposition to the Scott Avenue right-of-way vacation request. The original
right-of-way dedication documents from 1962 have been reviewed and the City believes that the land will
return to the property owner that is requesting the vacation.
Vacations of public right-of-way are governed by City Code Section 23-115, which provides for an application
and review process prior to submission to the City Council for formal consideration. The process includes
review by potentially affected utility agencies, City staff, emergency service providers, and affected property

owners in the vicinity of the right-of-way proposed to be vacated. This review process was followed in
conjunction with review of the Scott Plaza Project Development Plan, and based on comments received; the
Planning Development and Transportation Director recommends that the vacation be approved.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACT
There are no financial impacts to the vacation of this portion right-of-way.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
There are no environmental impacts to the vacation of this portion of right of way.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
A memorandum requesting input was sent to the utility providers, potentially impacted City departments and
adjacent property owners and feedback was received.

Mayor Karen Weitkunat
and Members of Fort Collins City Council
City Hall West
300 LaPorte Avenue
Fort Collins, CO 80521
Mayor Karen Weitkunat and Council Members:
This letter is in reference to the proposed Scott Avenue right-of-way vacation request that the
City staff has proposed and the City Council will vote on May 6th. As one of the managing
partners for Taylor Fitzpatrick Capital (TFC), the applicant for the proposed Scott Plaza Project
Development Plan (PDP), I believe it is important to provide you with additional information.
The Scott Plaza PDP approved by the Planning and Zoning Board in January of this year is
located on property owned by TFC and Mike Jensen, a local businessman. TFC, together with
Mr. Jensen have worked on the proposed project conceptually for many years.
The development review process for Scott Plaza started well over a year ago and has included
the following:
Conceptual Review Meeting February 25, 2013
Neighborhood meeting August 22, 2013
Project Development Plan (PDP) was submitted September 11, 2013
Planning and Zoning Board Public Hearing January 9, 2014
Project Development Plan (PDP) was approved on Consent Agenda
Appeal period expired January 23, 2014
Final Development Plans were submitted January 29, 2014
Final Development Plans and Development Agreement are nearly complete
Architectural Plans were submitted for Building Permit April 18, 2014
Approval of the vacation request is necessary for the project to move forward and meet the
proposed construction schedule. Leases were not renewed in the existing rental units in
anticipation of a June construction start. Student housing projects must meet a critical timing for
leasing in Spring with a Fall move-in date. Any further delay would make the current
construction schedule infeasible. So far, TFC has invested nearly $2,000,000.00 in the proposed
project. This money as well as the time invested will be lost if the right-of-way vacation is not
approved.
Equally important, if the project doesn’t move forward the City will lose an opportunity for
needed public improvements in the Campus West neighborhood. Currently the site is in a
blighted condition with unattractive dwellings and a street right-of-way that is not paved,
landscaped or lighted but is used by neighborhood residents as an informal cut-through access to
Packet Pg. 365
Attachment17.3: public comment (SR 052 Scott Avenue Right-of-Way Vacation)
the shops and restaurants on West Elizabeth Street. In addition to providing needed student
housing in close proximity to Campus, our proposed development plan will provide the
following:
Streetscape improvements along Plum Street including detached sidewalks, street trees,
landscaping, plaza space, outdoor seating, café tables, moveable planters and bike
parking.
A retail space or coffee shop at the intersection of Plum Street and the existing Scott
Avenue right-of-way.
Streetscape improvements to the existing Scott Avenue right-of-way include an overhead
gateway feature celebrating the public access easement. Other improvements include
decorative paving, permeable pavers, landscaping, tree grates, street trees, stone bench
seating, bike parking, security lighting, Tivoli lighting and way finding signage. (See
attached graphic representation.)
These improvements will be installed with the project and paid for by TFC with no financial
participation from the City. TFC will also be responsible for long term maintenance of the public
access easement that provides a pedestrian/bike connection to the south. When properties along
West Elizabeth Street redevelop, the City can require extension of the pedestrian/bike connection
to Elizabeth Street. The vision shared by City staff and the developer is to create a safe,
convenient connection to Elizabeth Street that prioritizes alternative modes of travel and mimics
the look and feel of the City’s successful Downtown alleys.
Missing this opportunity would not only be unfair to TFC, but unfortunate for the neighborhood
and the community. My partners and I respectfully request that the City Council approve the
vacation of the right-of-way on second reading so that our project can move forward.
Regards,
Jake Taylor

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 6, 2014
City Council
STAFF
Pete Wray, Senior City Planner
SUBJECT
Consideration of an Appeal of the Planning and Zoning Board's Decision to Approve the Bella Vira, Phase 2,
Major Amendment and Replat.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 21, 2014 an appeal was filed concerning the Planning and Zoning Board Hearing decision regarding
a proposed Major Amendment and Replat to the Bella Vira, Phase 2, Final Plan. The project is located at the
southwest corner of South Overland Trail and West Elizabeth Street. An amendment to the appeal was filed
on March 28, 2014.
The Amended Appeal, received on March 28, asserts that the Planning and Zoning Board failed to conduct a
fair hearing, and properly interpret and apply relevant provisions of the Land use Code.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Bella Vira, Phase 2, Major Amendment and Replat are the subject of this appeal. The original Bella Vira,
Final Plan was approved in 2008. The Major Amendment to Phase 2, submitted on January 2, 2014, proposes
a change of use from multi-family to single-family attached dwellings. The Replat of the existing, approved 25-
unit multi-family plan, creates individual lot lines and utility connections. The Planning and Zoning Board
issued a decision on March 13, 2014 to approve the proposed Major Amendment and Replat, and request for
Modifications of Standard to Sections 3.5.2 (E) (1) (2).
AMENDED APPEAL SUMMARY
The Amended Appeal asserts that the Planning and Zoning Board failed to conduct a fair hearing, in that (a)
the Board exceeded its authority or jurisdiction, (b) substantially ignored its previously established rules of
procedure, (c) considered evidence relative to its findings which was substantially false or grossly misleading,
and (d) improperly failed to receive all relevant evidence offered by the appellant. The Appellant failed to
reference any applicable sections of the Land Use Code within the submitted appeal.
ASSERTIONS OF APPEAL
1. The Appellant asserts that the Planning and Zoning Board failed to properly interpret and apply
relevant provisions of the Land Use Code.
The Appellant states:
1A) Bella Vira has no legally recognizable vested rights at this time.
Packet Pg. 403
Agenda Item 18
Item # 18 Page 2
The Staff Report (page 2 and 3) and contained:
On May 18, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Board approved the Bella Vira, Project Development Plan (PDP) -
#36-05A/B.
On May 13, 2008 the Final Plan was approved. Per Section 2.2.11(D) (3), this Final Plan was granted a term
of vested right for three years.
On March 3, 2011, the term of vested right was extended administratively by the CDNS Director for one
additional year per Section 2.2.11(D) (4).
On March 23, 2012, the term of vested right was extended for the second time administratively by the CDNS
Director for one additional year. Section 2.2.11(D) (4) allows for only two successive administrative
extensions.
On May 16, 2013, the term of vested right was extended for the third time by the Planning and Zoning Board
for one additional year. This extension will require all engineering improvements in accordance with the
approved utility plans must be completed no later than May 16, 2014.
The Staff Report (page 10/11) and contained:
In evaluating the Bella Vira, Filing 2, Major Amendment and Replat, and Modifications of Standard, Staff
makes the following findings of fact:
The request represents a Major Amendment/Replat for a Final Plan that was approved on May 13, 2008. This
Final Plan is valid to May 16, 2014. If the subject Major Amendment is approved, it will supersede the Final
Plan.
The verbatim transcript from the Hearing of the Planning and Zoning Board (page 2) contain:
“the original Project Development Plan was 16 approved in 2006, the Final Plan was approved in 2008, and
Filing 1 is under separate ownership and a separate development agreement. The term of vested rights has
been extended three times, with the last request this last year extended to May 16th of this year.”
Staff is available to answer further questions from Council regarding Final Plan vested rights.
The Appellant states:
1B) No sign had been posted on the property prior to the administrative decision to waive
the requirement for- the neighborhood m·eeting.
1C) No sign had been posted on the property prior to the consideration of a Major
Amendment and replat action taken by the P & Z. Such action is the subject of this
appeal. Improper signage is a failure to properly interpret and apply.
The verbatim transcript from the Hearing of the Planning and Zoning Board (page 9/10) contain:
MR. WRAY: “But there was notice for this request sent out, there were signs posted…so that, I think,
addresses those questions.”
MR. WRAY: “The…as I understand, the sign at the recent location was actually posted on the corner of
Overland and West Elizabeth on the southeast corner where there is a sidewalk. On the west side of Overland
Trail there’s really no sidewalk along that portion, or development at this point. And when we received one of
the calls today, they referenced the sign on that corner.”

Agenda Item 18
Item # 18 Page 3
The Staff Report (page 9/10) contained:
The LUC requires a neighborhood meeting be held for development proposals that are subject to a
Planning and Zoning Board (Type 2) review. Since the proposed Major Amendment and Replat is for
a previously approved FDP, the Director determined as part of the staff review and recommendation
required pursuant to Section 2.2.1 (A) (4) that the development proposal would not have significant
neighborhood impacts. Therefore, a City-sponsored and facilitated neighborhood information meeting
was not held for this project.
The verbatim transcript from the Hearing of the Planning and Zoning Board (pages 2/3) contain:
“There was a neighborhood meeting as part of the original approval of the Project Development Plan in 2006,
and the required neighborhood meeting for this request was waived by the Director, and that decision was
determined based on staff determination that the development proposal would not have a significant…any
significant neighborhood impacts.”
The verbatim transcript from the Hearing of the Planning and Zoning Board (pages 7/8/11) contain:
MR. MINATTA: “Sure. Okay, so…the issue of the neighborhood meetings and notification…the scope and
nature of these requested changes that you guys are reviewing today really do not affect anything that
deviated or modified existing prior approved plan. As I said, we’re replacing these six water sewers…twenty-
five water and sewer services. So everything is the same…the prior approval in 2007 had absolutely no issues
of concern raised the neighborhood meetings nor during the entire review process. We did have a
neighborhood meeting; we had about six folks from The Ponds, they were all very supportive. I still have the
list, I know Pete still probably has notes; if he doesn’t, I have notes from that meeting. So, we were well
received and a lot of the interest has been from people in The Ponds regarding…actually interested in housing
in the new project. We’ve worked closely too with the HOA; we had to negotiate some things with them. Nancy
Eckhart was the president at the time; I know they notified The Ponds association through their minutes and
their meeting notices. We’ve also talked to The Ponds recently…and, part of this thing…they didn’t know it
existed, or whatever, but it’s been a really difficult time, a desperate time for people who’ve invested in these
kinds of projects, and very hard. Thank goodness things are starting to do better, and that’s why this thing has
come to life. The building that’s taking place right now is the single-family portion that Richmond Homes is
building; we don’t have anything to do with that, although we did design and plan it.”
MR. WRAY: “There were some questions on, you know, the neighborhood meetings prior to this request. I
already mentioned the original neighborhood meeting that was part of the original approval in 2006, and the
reasons why the neighborhood meeting for this request was waived. One of the questions was raised, why
wasn’t there a neighborhood meeting with the request to extend vested rights last year? And that really wasn’t
a development proposal, that was an action to extend, again, vested rights of a final development plan, and a
neighborhood meeting is not required for that.”
MR. WRAY: “There was a neighborhood meeting in 2006. This was a Type II review because of the changes
in the western portion of the Filing 1, with the Residential Foothills change…so there was a neighborhood
meeting in 2006. There wasn’t one for this request, it was waived because of the reasons that I stated, by the
decision of the Director.”
The Appellant states:
1D) The intersection being contemplated at Elizabeth and Overland Trail does not comport with
applicable standards. This intersection appears to be poorly thought through and is being
designed around artificial constraints (vault) that decrease its utility and increase safety
problems. Unsafe intersections are a failure to properly interpret and apply.
Packet Pg. 405
Agenda Item 18
Item # 18 Page 4
The verbatim transcript from the Hearing of the Planning and Zoning Board (page 8) contain:
MR. MINATTA: “Concerning the alignment at West Elizabeth and Overland Trail…the alignment between
West Elizabeth, you know as it goes across to the west…to this new extension across Overland Trail, it works
fine, which…whenever streets are extended from developed to undeveloped areas, there are oftentimes
circumstances that do require alignment adjustments; and this one is a minimal condition that was reviewed
and approved by the City engineers and the private design engineers. The…improvements are not part of the
scope of this townhome replat anyway, so…I don’t know, I mean it’s, I know it’s a concern, but it’s not part of
what you’re looking at. Many of the issues…and regarding the turn lane, many of these issues are mitigated
on the basis of scope, the size of this project. So, the results of the traffic study did not show a need for
additional turn lanes because the traffic count for this project is so low...”
MR. WRAY: “I just wanted to add to that, that that was kind of the larger context that you were asking about,
but the approved project development plan in 2006 and the traffic study was based on twenty-five units for
this Filing 2, and this request is not increasing the number of units in any manner, it’s still twenty-five units,
just a different use type and lot configuration.
MEMBER SCHNEIDER: “No, and I just wanted to make sure that there was no significant developments or
changes prior…or since 2006 that would warrant a concern, regardless of the number of units…the impact
study from 2006 to current.”
The Staff Report (pages 8/11) contained:
A Transportation Impact Study was submitted and evaluated by the City’s Traffic Engineering Department for
the originally approved P.D.P. (May 18, 2006). Since the original approval has not lapsed and the proposed
number of dwelling units has not changed with the current Major Amendment, a new and revised Traffic Study
is not required and as such waived by the Traffic Engineer
The Major Amendment and Replat continues to comply with the applicable General Development Standards
of Article Three.
The approved Final Plan and required engineering improvements are part of Phase 1, and not a part of
Phase 2, Major Amendment and Replat. Staff is available to answer any further questions Council may have
regarding approved Final Plan and intersection design.
The Appellant states:
1E) Bella Vira does not have street connections to the North. When the Ponds neighborhood
was constructed, interconnecting streets were constructed to create connectivity.
Insufficient street connections are a failure to properly interpret and apply.
The Record does not include any information or response to lack of street connections to the north of the
property. Staff is available to answer any further questions Council may have regarding approved Final Plan
design, including street connections.
2. The Appellant asserts that the Planning and Zoning Board failed to conduct a fair hearing.
The Appellant states: All facts as described in (1) above are relevant here.
2A) Bella Vira has no legally recognizable vested rights at this time.
See the above information from the Record in response to this allegation.
2B) No sign had been posted on the property prior to the administrative decision to waive the
requirement for the neighborhood meeting.

See the above information from the Record in response to this allegation.
2C) No sign had been posted on the property prior to the consideration of a Major Amendment
and replat action taken by the P & Z.
See the above information from the Record in response to this allegation.
2D) The intersection being contemplated at Elizabeth and Overland Trail does not comport with
applicable standards.
See the above information from the Record in response to this allegation.
The Appellant states: 2b: All facts as described in (1) above are relevant here.
Previously established rules of procedure include observing the Land Use Code. Departing from the
Land Use Code as-described in other sections. Of this complaint in all regards is evidence that P & Z
substantially ignored its previously established rules of procedure.
The Appellant does not reference any specific rules of procedures, or Sections of the Land Use Code. Staff
is not able to offer any information or response from the Record on this allegation.
The Appellant states: 2c: All facts as described in (1) above are relevant here.
The staff report that was prepared prior to the action under appeal provided a timeline for all
administrative and decision maker actions regarding the history of the project. In this report, the
month of May was consistently declared to be the expiration and extension date for each of 4 extensions.
However, the public record shows that the approval of final design plans was acknowledged by
the City and the applicant as having occurred on or before January 8th, 2008. Thus all expirations
and extensions of vested rights can be assumed to have occurred in January or a previous month
in 2007.
The verbatim transcript from the Hearing of the Planning and Zoning Board (page 11) contain:
MS. LANGENBERGER: “The utility plans were signed…the final date on the utility plan was 1/30/08, and the
development agreement was dated, I think, in January of ’08 as well. So it was considered approved in
January of ’08.”
Staff is available to answer any further questions Council may have regarding correct date for Final Plan
approval.
The Appellant states: 2c: All facts as described in (1) above are relevant here.
City staff representatives reported that the intersection of Elizabeth and Overland Trail had been
approved prior to January 2008. This was evidence that the intersection was safe and acceptable for
the design. However, it was apparent in the hearing that city staff representatives were unaware of the
large offset in the cross street intersection. It did appear that what was being proposed for the
intersection was unknown at that time.
The approved Final Plan and required engineering improvements are part of Phase 1, and not a part of
Phase 2, Major Amendment and Replat. Staff is available to answer any further questions Council may have
regarding approved Final Plan and intersection design.
The Appellant states: 2d: All facts as described in (1) above are relevant here.
Granted only 3 minutes of testimony, after less than 8 hours’ notice of the public hearing, the appellant

took a best effort approach to explaining the facts that now form the summaries of allegations included
in this Notice of Appeal. Sufficient information was presented to introduce all allegations included in
this notice.
Staff is available to answer any further questions Council may have regarding the Appellant assertions that the
Planning and Zoning Board failed to conduct a fair hearing, and failed to receive all relevant evidence offered
by the appellant.

On March 3, 2011, the term of vested right was extended administratively by the CDNS
Director for one additional year per Section 2.2.11(D) (4).
On March 23, 2012, the term of vested right was extended for the second time
administratively by the CDNS Director for one additional year. Section 2.2.11(D) (4)
allows for only two successive administrative extensions.
On May 16, 2013, the term of vested right was extended for the third time by the
Planning and Zoning Board for one additional year. This extension will require all
engineering improvements in accordance with the approved utility plans must be
completed no later than May 16, 2014.
The Bella Vira, Filing 2 M.A. includes a replat of the existing approved 25 unit
multifamily plan by creating lot lines, and major amendment for a change of use to
single-family attached. The current multi-family buildings, street, and open space design
will remain unchanged. Changes to the utility plans consist of replacing the 6
water/sewer services allocated to each building, with 25 individual water/sewer services.
The original multi-family plan will require minor updates to the grading and stormwater
design in order to be compliant with the city’s current standards.
The Bella Vira Filing 2 plan has its own development agreement and is owned
separately from the overall original Bella Vira plan that included 60 single family
detached lots. Accordingly, the replat will now consist of only the Filing 2 design.
The portion of the development which contains the approved multi-family dwellings and
which is the subject of the proposed replat is located in the LMN zone. Multi-family in
the LMN is normally subject to a Type 1 Review. However, the original development
was processed as a Type 2 review due to the single-family cluster development for the
single family lots located in the RF zone.
The proposed replat and housing type change from multi-family to attached, single
family requires a Major Amendment. Section 2.2.10(B) (1) of the LUC pertaining to
Major Amendments states that:
"Major amendments to development plans or site specific development plans
approved under this Code shall be reviewed and processed in the same manner
as required for the original development plan for which amendment is sought."
Since the original development and plat were processed as a Type 2, any subsequent
major amendment and/or replat must also be processed as a Type 2, even though the
use single-family attached is allowed in the zone as a Type 1.
The property was annexed as the Minatta Annexation in November, 2005.
Current surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:

3. Compliance with Article 4 – L-M-N Applicable Standards:
A. Division 4.5 - Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN)
The Major Amendment complies with the purpose of the LMN District as it is a project
that provides single-family and multi-family dwellings on a property that is surrounded
by developed properties containing residential and institutional uses. There is existing
single-family and multi-family residential development to the east, and existing single-
family residential development to the west and south. Property to the north is owned by
Colorado State University and is partially developed as part of the Foothills Campus.
A. Section 4.5(B) (2) (a) 3. – Permitted Use
Single-family attached dwelling units are permitted in the L-M-N zone. As noted in a
preceding section, this application is a Major Amendment, and per Section 2.2.10(B), is
allowed to be processed in the same manner as the original approved Final
Development Plan, which is vested to May 16, 2014 based on the last extension
granted. Since the underlying P.D.P. was permitted and processed subject to Planning
and Zoning Board Review, so too is the Major Amendment.
B. Section 4.5(D)(1)(a) – Minimum Density
The minimum required density in the L-M-N zone is 4.00 dwelling units per net acre
except that projects on less than 20 acres shall have a minimum of 3.00 dwelling units
per acre. Filing 2 is zoned L-M-N and includes 25 dwelling units on 3.47 acres
achieving a density of 7.20 dwelling units per net acre, thus complying with the
standard.
C. Section 4.5(D)(1)(b) – Maximum Density
The maximum allowable density in the L-M-N zone is 9.00 dwelling units per gross acre.
Filing 2 is zoned L-M-N and includes 25 dwelling units on 3.91 gross acres achieving a
density of 6.39 dwelling units per gross acre, thus complying with the standard.
D. Section 4.5(E)(1)(a) – Street System Block Size
This standard requires that the local street system provided by the development provide
a network of streets in a manner that result in blocks of developed land no greater than
12 acres in size.
The Major Amendment does not provide for any public streets. The project is served by
one existing public street on the perimeter. The internal drive is private. Filing 2 is 3.91
acres.

E. Section 4.5(E)(2)(c) – Building Height
The maximum height in the L-M-N zone for buildings containing one, two and three-
family dwellings is 2.5 stories. The six buildings in the L-M-N zone are all two stories,
thus complying with the standard.
4. Compliance with Applicable Article Three – General Development
Standards:
The Major Amendment complies with the following applicable standards of the Land
Use Code, except as noted:
A. Section 3.2.1(D)(1)(c) – Landscaping and Tree Protection – Full Tree Stocking
The Landscape Plan complies with the standard in that landscape areas are provided in
adequate numbers, locations, and dimensions to allow full tree stocking along all high
use or high visibility sides of buildings.
B. Section 3.2.1(D)(2)(a) – Landscaping and Tree Protection – Street Trees
Filing 2 does not include a public street. Deciduous shade trees are provided in the
front yard planting areas near sidewalks along the private drive to provide some shade.
C. Section 3.2.1(D)(3) – Minimum Species Diversity
The Landscape Plan complies with the requirement that no one species of tree will
exceed the allowable 33% of the total number of trees (27).
D. Section 3.2.1 (E)(2) – Landscape Area Treatment
The Landscape Plan complies with the requirement that all areas on the site not
covered by buildings, structures, paving or impervious surface include landscape
planting treatments.
E. Section 3.2.1 (F) – Tree Protection and Replacement
The Site and Landscape Plans comply with the requirement to protect existing trees on
site. The area around the existing canal and natural habitat is protected by a buffer
including existing Cottonwood trees.
F. Section 3.2.2(C)(5) – Walkways
Internal walkways within the site are safe and directly connect buildings, to the private
drive sidewalks, and to the public street. Walkways are not circuitous and provide
multiple points of access.

G. Section 3.2.2(C)(6) – Direct On-site Access to Pedestrian and Bicycle Destinations
The internal sidewalk system accommodates both pedestrians and bicycles. All internal
drive walkways connect to the public sidewalks on West Elizabeth Street and Overland
Trail. These sidewalks, in turn, connect to Overland Park and Bauder Elementary
School, which are approximately one-third to half of a mile to the east.
H. Section 3.2.2(K)(1)(a) – Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces
This standard requires a minimum number of parking spaces for attached dwellings
based on the number of bedrooms per unit and the number of units. Based on the mix
of two and three-bedroom units, and the number of units, the minimum required number
of parking spaces is 46. The Major Amendment provides 50 garage spaces thus
exceeding the required minimum. The minimum required number of spaces per
bedroom per unit compared to the number of spaces provided is as follows:
15 Two Bedroom Units x 1.75 spaces = 26 spaces
10 Three Bedroom Units x 2.00 spaces = 20 spaces
Total Required 46
Total Provided 50
I. Section 3.2.4 – Site Lighting
The Lighting Plan indicates that both pole and building mounted light fixtures will feature
fully shielded and down-directional luminaires. In addition, there will be no illumination
exceeding 0.1 (one-tenth) foot-candle as measured 20 feet from the property line.
J. Section 3.4.1 – Natural Habitats and Features
The original Ecological Characterization Study (ECS) was submitted in August 2005 as
part of the previous approved project. A new updated ECS was provided with this
submittal and identifies existing trees along the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal riparian
corridor as habitat to be maintained with a buffer. This buffer will be preserved to
protect the existing riparian habitat along the canal.
K. Section 3.5.1 – Building and Project Compatibility – Architectural Character
This standard requires that new developments adjacent to existing developed areas
shall be compatible with the established architectural character by using a design that is
complementary.

The proposed six buildings are a mix of one and two story structures all with pitched
roofs. Exterior materials include stucco, faux flagstone and brick in various
combinations horizontally across all elevations up to the full height of the first floor as
well as with sections rising to the second floors. The balance of the building exteriors
will feature horizontal cementitious lap siding. The roofs will be asphalt shingles. These
exterior materials are typically found in neighborhoods and exhibit a residential
character.
All buildings are articulated with projecting entry features and multiple rooflines.
Rooflines are varied and feature gabled ends. Mid-structure entrances and breezeways
contribute to the articulation.
L. Section 3.5.2 (E)(1) – Setback from Arterial Streets
This first standard requires a minimum thirty (30) feet building setback to an arterial
street right-of-way (Overland Trail). The second standard requires a minimum (15) feet
setback to other streets (Elizabeth). The plan shows buildings to be located at setbacks
slightly less than the minimum. A request for modifications of the standard to reduce
the required setbacks is described in separate section below.
M. Section 3.5.2(D) – Relationship of Dwellings to Streets and Parking
This standard requires that buildings relate to streets by one of three methods:
Directly connecting to the street by a walkway.
Connecting to the street by a sidewalk no greater than 200 feet in length.
Connecting to a street by a major walkway spine, as specifically defined.
The only changes to the previously approved plan include changing the use from Multi-
family to Single-family attached, and adding individual lot lines for the 25 dwelling units.
All six building entrances face a private drive with sidewalks on either side of the drive
connecting to the public street (Elizabeth). None of the walkways cross an intervening
parking lot or drive aisle, only driveways. The Major Amendment does not deviate any
further from the requirements of this standard, than the approved Final Plan.
N. Section 3.6.4(C) – Transportation Impact Study
A Transportation Impact Study was submitted and evaluated by the City’s Traffic
Engineering Department for the originally approved P.D.P. (May 18, 2006). Since the
original approval has not lapsed and the proposed number of dwelling units has not
changed with the current Major Amendment, a new and revised Traffic Study is not
required and as such waived by the Traffic Engineer

5. Requests for Modifications of Standard:
A. Standard: Section 3.5.2 (E)(1) (2) – Residential Building Setbacks
This first standard requires a minimum 30' building setback from an arterial street
(Overland Trail in this case). The second standard requires a minimum 15' setback
from other streets (Elizabeth Street in this case).
B. Proposal
The plan shows building setbacks from streets less than the minimum standard as
follows:
A reduction of 18 inches to the Overland Trail setback for Building 1 (28.5’ provided
rather than 30’).
A reduction of 16 inches to the Elizabeth Street setback for a corner of Building 5
(13.6’ provided rather than 15’).
C. Applicant’s Justification
The 18 inch reduction in setback at Overland Trail is less than 5% of the 30’ setback and
the 16 inch reduction in setback at the corner of one building at West Elizabeth is less than
9% of the 15’ setback. Neither of these conditions is in any way detrimental to the public
good and meets the modification review conditions of Section 2.8.2 (H) (4) of the Land Use
Code.
Specifically these setbacks do not diverge from the standards of the Land Use Code
authorized by this Division to be modified except in a nominal, inconsequential way when
considered from the perspective of the entire development plan, and will continue to
advance the purposes of the Land Use Code as contained in Section 1.2.2.
The current site plan previously approved in 2007 allowed the “less than minimum”
setbacks. The actual less than minimum distances were illustrated on the reviewed
drawings, signed by the city development authorities. The existing site layout and building
design was predicated on this previously accepted condition.
D. Staff Evaluation of the Modification:
The proposed plan shows building locations that are the same as the previously
approved plan in 2007.
Staff finds that the deviations from standards as previously approved are nominal and
inconsequential considering the plan as a whole.

For building 5 along Elizabeth Street, only a corner of the building extends into the
setback by a fractional amount, with the remainder of the building set back much
further, up to 110 feet. Staff finds that the overall placement of the building offsets the
small point at the corner which has the 16-inch deviation.
For building 1 along Overland Trail, the 18-inch deviation is offset by a screen wall
incorporated into the landscaped setback. Staff finds that the wall completely offsets
the effect of the deviation, rendering it nominal and inconsequential.
For the request for modification, Staff finds that the proposed Major Amendment
and Replat is not detrimental to the public good.
Further, Staff finds that the plan as submitted will not diverge from the standards
of the Land Use Code that are authorized by this Division to be modified except in
a nominal, inconsequential way when considered from the perspective of the
entire development plan, and will continue to advance the purposes of the LUC as
contained in Section 1.2.2.
This is because the setback deviations for the two buildings in question are not
significant, nor visible or recognizable by a person viewing buildings from the
street. For building 5 along Elizabeth Street, only a corner of the building extends
into the setback by a fractional amount, with the remainder of the building set
back much further, up to 110 feet. Staff finds that the overall placement of the
building offsets the small point at the corner which has the 16-inch deviation.
For building 1 along Overland Trail, the 18-inch deviation is offset by a screen
wall incorporated into the landscaped setback. Staff finds that the wall
completely offsets the effect of the deviation, rendering it nominal and
inconsequential.
6. Neighborhood Meeting:
The LUC requires a neighborhood meeting be held for development proposals that are
subject to a Planning and Zoning Board (Type 2) review. Since the proposed Major
Amendment and Replat is for a previously approved FDP, the Director determined as
part of the staff review and recommendation required pursuant to Section 2.2.1 (A) (4)
that the development proposal would not have significant neighborhood impacts.
Therefore, a City-sponsored and facilitated neighborhood information meeting was not
held for this project.

7. FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSION:
In evaluating the Bella Vira, Filing 2, Major Amendment and Replat, and Modifications of
Standard, Staff makes the following findings of fact:
1. The request represents a Major Amendment/Replat for a Final Plan that was
approved on May 13, 2008. This Final Plan is valid to May 16, 2014. If the
subject Major Amendment is approved, it will supersede the Final Plan.
2. The Major Amendment and Replat is being processed as a Type II Development
Review in the same manner as the Project Development Plan per Section
2.2.10(B).
3. The Major Amendment and Replat continues to comply with Division 4.5 LMN
standards in Article Four Districts.
4. The Major Amendment and Replat continues to comply with the applicable
General Development Standards of Article Three with one exception, Section
3.5.2 (E) (1) (2), for which Modifications of Standard are requested and also
described below.
5. Modifications of Standard to Section 3.5.2 (E) (1) (2): Residential Building
Setbacks. This standard requires a minimum 30' building setback to an arterial
street and a minimum 15' setback is required to other streets.
Staff finds that the proposed Major Amendment and Replat is not
detrimental to the public good.
Further, Staff finds that the Major Amendment and Replat as submitted will
not diverge from the standards of the Land Use Code that are authorized by
this Division to be modified except in a nominal, inconsequential way when
considered from the perspective of the entire development plan, and will
continue to advance the purposes of the LUC as contained in Section 1.2.2.
This is because the setback deviations for the two buildings in question are
not significant, nor visible or recognizable by a person viewing buildings
from the street. For building 5 along Elizabeth Street, only a corner of the
building extends into the setback by a fractional amount, with the
remainder of the building set back much further, up to 110 feet. Staff finds
that the overall placement of the building offsets the small point at the
corner which has the 16-inch deviation.
For building 1 along Overland Trail, the 18-inch deviation is offset by a
screen wall incorporated into the landscaped setback. Staff finds that the

wall completely offsets the effect of the deviation, rendering it nominal and
inconsequential.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Bella Vira, Filing 2, Major Amendment and Replat #
140001, and request for modifications for LUC Section 3.5.2 (E) (1)(2) for building
setbacks.

Subject: Bella Vira, Filing 2 Major Amendment and Replat #140001
Date: Thursday, March 13, 2014 3:58:10 PM
Cindy, I received two phone calls today in response to the notice for the Bella Vira, Filing 2
Major Amendment and Replat #140001 on the agenda tonight with the Planning and Zoning
Board for the record.
1. Phone message received at 11:10 a.m. by Eric Sutherland.
Concerns of why a neighborhood meeting was not held for this item, and
in 2013 with the FDP Extension Request
Lack of on-street parking for proposed Filing 2 development
Off-alignment of W. Elizabeth/Overland intersection
Why no turn lanes on West Elizabeth, exiting on to Overland Tr.
Why is there a gap in westside sidewalk on Overland and will that be
completed with this project (ditch through FCLWD site)
2. Phone message received at 1:56 p.m. by Jen Mommer.
Interested in finding what project is about
Thanks,
Pete Wray, Senior City Planner

Subject: Bella Vira Hearing
Dear Mr Wray,
Thanks for the recent notification concerning the Bella Vira public hearing. My wife and I are
residents of the Saddleridge Condo property and do have one concern. We don't plan to attend
the hearing and hope that we can just pass along this observation about traffic on Overland and
Elizabeth, as it seems that the entrance to the Bella Vira property will be very close if not
directly connected to that corner.
Currently, there are times that it is very difficult for cars at the Elizabeth stop sign to turn onto
Overland. In fact we have seen quite a few desperate moves by motorists tired of waiting and
feeling the pressure a vehicles behind them. This corner is a little bit blinded by the hill and
positioning of the lanes. Our concern is that if the entrance to the Bella Vira property is too close
to this corner it will make a difficult situation much worse. We are just wanting to make your
office aware of this situation in hopes that this will be taken into consideration as the project
moves along.
Thanks for taking in to account our concerns.
Sincerely,
Michael and Violet Mugg

12. The developer installing signs shall be responsible for locating and protecting all underground utilities.
13. Special care shall be taken in sign location to ensure an unobstructed view of each sign.
14. Signage and striping has been determined by information available at the time of review. Prior to initiation of the warranty period, the City
of Fort Collins Traffic Engineer reserves the right to require additional signage and/or striping if the City of Fort Collins Traffic Engineer
determines that an unforeseen condition warrants such signage according to the MUTCD or the CDOT M and S standards. All signage and
striping shall fall under the requirements of the two year warranty period for new construction (except fair wear on traffic markings).
15. Sleeves for sign posts shall be required for use in islands/medians. Refer to Chapter 14, Traffic Control Devices, for additional detail.
1. The erosion control inspector must be notified at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to any construction on this site.
2. There shall be no earth-disturbing activity outside the limits designated on the accepted plans.
3. All required perimeter silt and construction fencing shall be installed to any land disturbing activity (stockpiling, stripping, grading, etc). All other
required erosion control measures shall be installed at the appropriate time in the construction sequence as indicated in the approved project schedule,
construction plans, and erosion control report.
4. At all times during construction, the developer shall be responsible for preventing and controlling on-site erosion including keeping the property sufficiently
watered so as to minimize windblown sediment. The developer shall also be responsible for installing and maintaining all erosion control facilities shown
herein.
5. Pre-disturbance vegetation shall be protected and retained wherever possible. Removal or disturbance of existing vegetation shall be limited to the area(s)
required for immediate construction operations, and for the shortest practical period of time.
6. All soils exposed during land disturbing activity (striping, grading, utility installations, stockpiling, filling, etc.) shall be kept in a roughened condition by
ripping or disking along land contours until mulch, vegetation, or other permanent erosion control BMPS are installed. No soils in areas outside project street
rights-of-way shall remain exposed by land disturbing activity for more than thirty (30) days before required temporary or permanent erosion control (e.g.
seed/mulch, landscaping, etc.) is installed, unless otherwise approved by the city/county.
7. In order to minimize erosion potential, all temporary (structural) erosion control measures shall:
A. Be inspected at a minimum of once every two (2) weeks and after each significant storm event and repaired or reconstructed as necessary in order to
ensure the continued performance of their intended function.
B. Remain in place until such time as all the surrounding disturbed areas are sufficiently stabilized as determined by the erosion control inspector.
C. Be removed after the site has been sufficiently stabilized as determined by the erosion control inspector.
8. When temporary erosion control measures are removed, the developer shall be responsible for the cleanup and removal of all sediment and debris from all
drainage infrastructure and other public facilities.
9. The contractor shall immediately clean up any construction materials inadvertently deposited on existing streets, sidewalks, or other public rights of way,
and make sure streets and walkways are cleaned at the end of each working day.
10. All retained sediments, particularly those on paved roadway surfaces, shall be removed and disposed of in a manner and location so as not to cause their
release into any waters of the United States.
11. No soil stockpile shall exceed ten (10) feet in height. All soil stockpiles shall be protected from sediment transport by surface roughening, watering, and
perimeter silt fencing. Any soil stockpile remaining after thirty (30) days shall be seeded and mulched.
12. The storm water volume capacity of detention ponds will be restored and storm sewer lines will be cleaned upon completion of the project and before
turning the maintenance over to the city/county or Homeowners Association (HOA).
13. City ordinance and Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) requirements make it unlawful to discharge or allow the discharge of any pollutant or
contaminated water from construction sites. Pollutants include, but are not limited to discarded building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, oil and
gas products, litter, and sanitary waste. The developer shall at all times take whatever measures are necessary to assure the proper containment and
disposal of pollutants on the site in accordance with any and all applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
14. A designated area shall be provided on site for concrete truck chute washout. The area shall be constructed so as to contain washout material and located
at least fifty (50) feet away from any waterway during construction. Upon completion of construction activities the concrete washout material will be removed
and properly disposed of prior to the area being restored.
15. Conditions in the field may warrant erosion control measures in addition to what is shown on these plans. The developer shall implement whatever
measures are determined necessary, as directed by the city/county.
16. A vehicle tracking control pad shall be installed when needed for construction equipment, including but not limited to personal vehicles exiting existing
roadways. No earthen materials, i.e. stone, dirt, etc. shall be placed in the curb & gutter or roadway as a ramp to access temporary stockpiles, staging areas,
construction materials, concrete washout areas, and/or building sites.
1. Water mains shall be DIP with polywrap or PVC with tracer wire.
2. Water mains shall be installed with 4.5 to 5.5 feet of cover unless otherwise approved.

HDPE pipe shall be SDR 9 having a pressure rating of 200 psi. Stiffeners shall be used at all fittings and connections. Tracer wire shall be installed with
the HDPE service, and shall extend up the curb stop. The curb stop shall be covered with a metal box and tracer wire test lid per City Water Detail 25.
1. All materials, workmanship, and construction of public improvements shall meet or exceed the Standards and Specifications set forth in the Larimer
County Urban Area Street Standards and applicable state and federal regulations. Where there is conflict between these plans and the specifications, or any
applicable standards, the most restrictive standard shall apply. All work shall be inspected and approved by the local entity.
2. All references to any published standards shall refer to the latest revision of said standard, unless specifically stated otherwise.
3. These public improvement construction plans shall be valid for a period of three years from the date of approval by the local entity engineer. Use of these
plans after the expiration date will require a new review and approval process by the local entity prior to commencement of any work shown in these plans.
4. The engineer who has prepared these plans, by execution and/or seal hereof, does hereby affirm responsibility to the local entity, as beneficiary of said

1 CHAIR JENNIFER CARPENTER: We’ll now move on to Bella Vira, Filing 2, Major
2 Amendment and Replat #140001. And if I can ask for some help here, Paul…we have a major
3 amendment and then a modification of standards…order, help me?
4 DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY PAUL ECKMAN: Modification first.
5 CHAIR CARPENTER: Okay, we’ll go with the modification first.
6 DEPUTY ATTORNEY ECKMAN: I would think the presentation would be about both.
7 CHAIR CARPENTER: About both, okay. Okay, Mr. Wray?
8 SENIOR CITY PLANNER PETE WRAY: Good evening, Chair, members of the Board, I’m Pete
9 Wray, Senior City Planner. And, tonight…this item consists of a major amendment and replat to a
10 previously approved project in…Project Development Plan in 2006 and Final Plan in 2008. The project
11 is…Filing 2 is located on the southwest corner of West Elizabeth and South Overland Trail. The original
12 approval included Filing 1, which consisted of sixty single-family detached lots, and Filing 2, which is
13 part of this request, is on the southwest corner. The existing zoning for Filing 2 is Low-Density, Mixed-
14 Use Neighborhood. And, the context of this site…we have The Ponds existing subdivision on the south
15 side, and CSU Foothills Research and Equestrian facility on the north side.
16 So, just some quick background on this. Again, the original Project Development Plan was
17 approved in 2006, the Final Plan was approved in 2008, and Filing 1 is under separate ownership and a
18 separate development agreement. The term of vested rights has been extended three times, with the last
19 request this last year extended to May 16th of this year. And the proposed replat and housing type change
20 requires a major amendment. This is under a Type II review, consistent with the approved 2006 Project
21 Development Plan. So, the project tonight consists of a major amendment to change the use from multi-
22 family to single-family attached, and a replat of Filing 2 to change a single parcel into twenty-five
23 individual lots. And, there is also a request for a modification to standards in Section 3.5.2(E)1 and 2.
24 The request for modification includes a reduction in building setbacks from an arterial street, in
25 this case South Overland Trail. The requirement is for a thirty foot setback and the proposed request for
26 modification is a reduction of eighteen inches on Building One along South Overland Trail…and
27 Building Five, there is a required building setback of fifteen feet from other streets, in this case West
28 Elizabeth Street, within the subdivision, and there is a reduction of sixteen inches for Building Five.
29 The staff findings are that this request represents a major amendment and replat for an approved
30 final plan, processed as a Type II. It continues to comply with the applicable development standards in
31 Division 4.5 of the Low-Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood standards, and it continues to comply with the
32 general development standards in Article 3, except for Section 3.5.2(E)1 and 2, for which there is that
33 request for modification. The proposed project…staff determined that the request for modification is not
34 detrimental to the public good, and not diverge [sic] from the standard in the Land Use Code except in a
35 nominal and inconsequential way.
36 There was a neighborhood meeting as part of the original approval of the Project Development
37 Plan in 2006, and the required neighborhood meeting for this request was waived by the Director, and that
38 decision was determined based on staff determination that the development proposal would not have a

1 significant…any significant neighborhood impacts. Prior to this hearing, staff received public testimony,
2 one written and two verbal testimonies that have been forwarded to the Board for the record. And that
3 concludes the staff presentation, thank you.
4 CHAIR CARPENTER: Are there any questions for the staff at this time, before we go to
5 applicant presentation? Do we have an applicant presentation?
6 MR. WRAY: We do.
7 CHAIR CARPENTER: Okay, Jeff.
8 BOARDMEMBER JEFFREY SCHNEIDER: So this was approved as a single lot in 2006 with
9 the same number of structures, same number of the dwelling units and all that?
10 MR. WRAY: That’s correct, the Filing 2 that was originally approved had a single lot for the
11 multi-family, and with the change of use to single-family attached, the replay consists of creating
12 individual lot lines for the twenty-five units and individual utility…
13 MEMBER SCHNEIDER: Okay, thank you. So, what…what is different about this plan and what
14 was approved in 2006 that makes it so this one requires a modification to the setback standards.
15 MR. WRAY: The building locations have not changed…it was…staff identified that two of the
16 buildings had a reduction in building setbacks and wanted to document those changes that were
17 recognized in the original approved plan.
18 MEMBER SCHNEIDER: Thank you.
19 CHAIR CARPENTER: Gerry?
20 BOARDMEMBER GERALD HART: Are there any changes in the off-street…in the parking
21 requirements between this proposal and the previously approved one?
22 MR. WRAY: There is no changes to off-site parking. This proposal, as originally approved,
23 provides two parking spaces per each of the twenty-five units in a garage. There’s driveways and there’s
24 also some pull-out on private drive parking spaces…there’s twelve spaces on that private drive. And,
25 also, on West Elizabeth Street, set back from the intersection of Overland and Elizabeth on the local
26 street, residents can park along that local street as well.
27 MEMBER HART: Okay, thank you.
28 CHAIR CARPENTER: Anyone else? Do we have an applicant…oh, sorry, Michael?
29 BOARDMEMBER MICHAEL HOBBS: Was there a traffic study done in the original proposal
30 and filing?
31 MR. WRAY: There was, and we have Ward Stanford here tonight if you have any questions
32 specific to the original study.
33 MEMBER HOBBS: I was just curious if it had gone through that process.

1 CHAIR CARPENTER: Anything else? Do we have an applicant presentation? I’m sorry…
2 MR. WRAY: I think they are prepared if…
3 CHAIR CARPENTER: Okay, great.
4 MR. JOHN MINATTA: Good evening, I’m John Minatta, I’m the applicant and the owner along
5 with my two brothers, Sam and Al Minatta, and we’re also going to…build the buildings, do the
6 construction. So, I love talking about my project and I’m ready to answer any questions you have. I can
7 talk a little bit about some of the things you’ve already…were submitted as far as why we’re here and
8 what the…and the history of the site. But, just maybe to be…to clear up…or explain why we’re here…in
9 the original statement of objectives, maybe I could just real briefly cover that. We’re changing this from
10 a multi-family plan to single-family attached; we’re basically creating twenty-five individual lots. The
11 current multi-family building, street, and open space design will remain unchanged. Changes to the
12 utility plans consist of replacing six water and sewer services for these six buildings, to twenty-five. The
13 original multi-family plan will require minor updates, but there is no real change to the landscape
14 plan…it’s the same building, same square footage, everything is the same. Twenty-five water and sewer
15 services…we’re just maintaining the overall design of the original development plan.
16 So, part of the reason we’re here…this has come up…is the desired change is precipitated by the
17 recent economic crisis and subsequent negative effect on mortgage financing of condominium purchases.
18 So instability in this particular market, mortgage market, is generated…climate of risk aversion on the
19 part of lenders to finance new condominium construction. So, we’re forced to modify this design to get
20 construction financing…it’s hard to get people to get loans to buy condominiums, and banks don’t want
21 to loan people money to build. So, it’s actually going to be a little nicer for the owners to have their small
22 lots, but they’ll have lots. So, that’s why we’re here today, that’s why we had to go through the process.
23 We really didn’t change much of anything, and I can…I do have…I did get a copy of some of the
24 questions raised by…that came prior to the meeting. I can…I have responses to those, and I can also give
25 you some of the history, the family history of this project for the last ninety-five years that it’s been in our
26 family. And, if you would like to hear any of that, I can answer that now or we can wait until the citizen
27 input, whichever you’d like me to do.
28 CHAIR CARPENTER: Let’s wait for citizen input. Right now, just are there any questions
29 from…
30 MEMBER HART: Yes, I have a question. With the condominium ownership type of
31 development, there’s probably going to be some type of homeowner’s association to maintain any
32 common areas. What about now?
33 MR. MINATTA: Same, same thing.
34 MEMBER HART: It would be the same thing?
35 MR. MINATTA: Yes.
36 MEMBER HART: Okay, thank you.
37 CHAIR CARPENTER: Any other questions for the applicant at this time? Okay.

1 MR. MINATTA: Thank you.
2 CHAIR CARPENTER: Thank you. Before we go to public input, Cindy, other than what Mr.
3 Wray spoke to, do we have any other comments that have come…or input from the public since the
4 worksession?
5 MS. CINDY COSMAS: Do you want me to review what he was referring to? That’s what I
6 have…the two comments. He received two phone calls today, one from Eric Sutherland with
7 neighborhood concerns, and also one from Jen Mommer, and hers was basically strictly just interest in the
8 project.
9 CHAIR CARPENTER: Thank you. Now is the time for public input, is there anyone in the
10 audience who would like to address this? Okay, come on up…sign in, tell us your name and address
11 and…four minutes, four minutes Cindy.
12 MR. ERIC SUTHERLAND: Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant; that is an address in The
13 Ponds neighborhood which is adjacent to this development. And, just…by the way of background, you
14 know, I was paging through your agenda this morning as I often do, and…first time I’d really noticed any
15 public information about this project and, of course, since I live next door I was very curious to see what
16 was being constructed over there, and taking a look at that. And in the midst of doing that I was
17 contacted by a friend of mine who lives on the other side of Overland Trail, on the east side, who was
18 wondering if I was coming down here tonight because she has some significant concerns that her
19 neighborhood experiences from parking, because there’s a very similar high-density, you know, multi-
20 unit development on the southeast corner of Elizabeth and Overland Trail. And she thought that perhaps
21 doing the same thing on the other side of Overland Trail might make the problem worse, or whatever. So,
22 there were some parking issues from another citizen.
23 In looking at it, I do see questions that I might have raised at a neighborhood meeting or another
24 hearing about the sidewalks in the area, particularly along Overland Trail…pedestrian access. And also,
25 my greatest concern is about the intersection of Elizabeth Street and Overland Trail. That’s already not
26 the greatest intersection in Fort Collins, by far, and now we’re creating a…you know, a full cross there.
27 And, it looks as though the right-of-way is tapering right as it enters into Overland Trail. I don’t have a
28 really good idea of how the whole thing is engineered, or whether or not it’s going to work, but I’m very
29 concerned about that. You know, Gerry, as you know, the…intersections like Golden Currant Boulevard
30 and Prospect Avenue are…they’re very well engineered, and they’re functional, and even though the fact
31 that Overland Trail is an arterial, it carries an immense amount of traffic…but we have, you know,
32 median separators on Golden Currant, there’s left hand turn lanes, et cetera. I don’t see how any of that
33 would be available on Elizabeth Street. So, we’re automatically taking a huge step down in our standards.
34 But, all that kind of is subservient because it’s not necessarily the nature of the review this
35 evening, of course, we’re talking about a major amendment to a PDP that purportedly was already
36 approved, and it is that I wish to speak of. There has not been a yellow or green sign out in front of this
37 property since 2006. That’s problematic; George Bush was the president in 2006. A lot of things have
38 changed since then. And to think that the project might have actually expired, that at one point in time
39 this project had no vested rights, came back to the Planning and Zoning Board without the benefit of a
40 neighborhood meeting, de novo, as it should have, is concerning. Now I can’t speak to that with ultimate
Packet Pg. 509
Attachment18.4: Verbatim Transcript of Planning and Zoning Board Hearing (Bella Vira Phase 2 Major Amendment and Replat - Appeal)
6
1 authority because I’ve not inspected the entirety of the public record to date to say conclusively that that
2 is what happened, but it does appear that we’ve got a major mix-up in process here, which has done
3 nothing more than deprive the people who live in the area that opportunity to participate in this process to
4 make sure things like sidewalks are considered as they might be…as they should be in this thing. To
5 make sure that traffic safety is considered adequately, to make sure that this whole thing that we do time
6 and time again, granted its always the same issues…parking, traffic, pedestrian access…even though it’s
7 the same thing over and over, it’s important that we do it over and over and again with each new project,
8 because that preserves the quality that we’re expecting to see built in Fort Collins.
9 And so I think we’ve got a huge problem here guys, I think that this project is being brought to
10 you for a major amendment despite the fact that it was not duly approved correctly the first time, and even
11 in that regard…say I’m wrong about the duly approved the first time, no yellow sign out there today,
12 nothing…no notice that there was going to be any action taken on this action at this point in time. That’s
13 not the way we do things, that’s not the way our Land Use Code prescribes that we do things. I’m
14 expecting a lot more and I’m not sure exactly how we’re going…I don’t even know how to appeal this at
15 this point in time. Thank you very much.
16 CHAIR CARPENTER: Thank you. Anyone else who would like to speak to this from the
17 public?
18 MR. DALE EDWARDS: Thank you. I’m here to…
19 CHAIR CARPENTER: Sir, could you give us your name please?
20 MR. EDWARDS: My name is Dale Edwards; I’m at 3208 Snowbrush Place…
21 CHAIR CARPENTER: Thank you.
22 MR. EDWARDS: …which is in The Ponds…which my back window looks at the development
23 that’s been taking place. I agree with the gentleman that just spoke that we’ve had very little information
24 in regards to what this project has…what this project is or how it has come about. I’ve read all of the
25 documentation and I was well aware that it was proposed in 2006 and then 2008, and then came back to
26 life in 2014. The only reason I realized that it was coming back to life is that we had major construction
27 keeping me awake during the day as the construction took place. My concern, more in regards to not the
28 development of the property, but, well I guess it is the development of the property. I’m concerned that I
29 was not notified about the first filing, which is to the north and to the west of our property, but I did get
30 notification that we were going to be impacted with this particular development. My major concern right
31 now is in regards to traffic. I agree with the gentleman in regards to the traffic flow at Elizabeth because I
32 take Overland Trail every day, and then when I come back on Elizabeth, I see where the new property is
33 taking a little bend in the…Elizabeth.
34 But I also have a concern about water and runoff with this property, because I watched them strip
35 the ground bare. I understand, having a little background in soils, what was going on there in regards to
36 the stripping of the property and getting down to a…the…getting rid of some of the bentonite that is in
37 that area, for building purposes. But I do have some concerns because my property has a walk-out
38 window and The Ponds area…the holding pond that was put in is very low, and I’m just wondering what
39 the plans are for distribution of water if we would get a flood like in 1997. Thank you.

1 CHAIR CARPENTER: Thank you sir. Is there anyone else who would like to speak? Give us
2 your name and address, sir, and we’ll be happy to hear you.
3 MR. KEITH GALLACHER: Hi, my name is Keith Gallacher…hi Gerry. I live at 3202
4 Snowbrush Place, my house backs up onto Overland Trail and I have similar concerns…I’m just going to
5 obviously not repeat what the gentlemen in front of me have emphasized. My main concern is the traffic
6 that’s going to generate along Banyan from this…from the adjacent property…that we did not know
7 anything about. I had no information until I actually received this in the mail. I didn’t even know about
8 the new…apart from seeing all the vehicles and ground…earth-moving equipment that was out there that
9 anything was ever going to happen in that actual piece of property. So, you know, obviously there were
10 cul-de-sacs along the north end of Banyan that we assumed at some point would be a through street, but
11 I’m really concerned about the traffic that it’s going to generate from that north side. And, because of, as
12 this gentleman emphasized, the fact that there’s such a bad junction at Elizabeth and Overland as it
13 is…are these people going to not come out of their own neighborhood through there, are they all going to
14 come down Banyan and turn out on Golden Currant and Prospect? Because that’s where the stoplight is,
15 at Prospect and Overland. You know, that was my main concern, is the traffic. Between my cul-de-sac,
16 which is Snowbrush Place as I said, and that opposite cul-de-sac which is Snowbrush Court, we have
17 twenty-two children between those two cul-de-sacs, and they very often cross over. I’ve been very
18 involved with the City, as Gerry knows, getting, you know, the signs for the kids along the houses there to
19 slow the traffic…as it is, there is a stop sign on Coneflower and Banyan. I asked the City, once I knew
20 this development was going to materialize, if they would put a four-way stop there to…just for that
21 purpose of slowing the traffic down. At this point, they couldn’t give me a yes or no. I don’t know
22 whether you want to take that into consideration too, but thanks for your time and I appreciate it.
23 CHAIR CARPENTER: Thank you sir. Anyone else who would like to speak? Seeing none,
24 we’ll close down public input. Would the applicant like to make some response to the public input?
25 MR. MINATTA: Sure. Okay, so…the issue of the neighborhood meetings and notification…the
26 scope and nature of these requested changes that you guys are reviewing today really do not affect
27 anything that deviated or modified existing prior approved plan. As I said, we’re replacing these six
28 water sewers…twenty-five water and sewer services. So everything is the same…the prior approval in
29 2007 had absolutely no issues of concern raised the neighborhood meetings nor during the entire review
30 process. We did have a neighborhood meeting; we had about six folks from The Ponds, they were all
31 very supportive. I still have the list, I know Pete still probably has notes; if he doesn’t, I have notes from
32 that meeting. So, we were well received and a lot of the interest has been from people in The Ponds
33 regarding…actually interested in housing in the new project. We’ve worked closely too with the HOA;
34 we had to negotiate some things with them. Nancy Eckhart was the president at the time; I know they
35 notified The Ponds association through their minutes and their meeting notices. We’ve also talked to The
36 Ponds recently…and, part of this thing…they didn’t know it existed, or whatever, but it’s been a really
37 difficult time, a desperate time for people who’ve invested in these kinds of projects, and very hard.
38 Thank goodness things are starting to do better, and that’s why this thing has come to life. The building
39 that’s taking place right now is the single-family portion that Richmond Homes is building; we don’t have
40 anything to do with that, although we did design and plan it.

1 With respect to the lack of parking, each unit has, as Pete pointed out, has two parking spaces in
2 the garage, two in the driveway. We have thirteen spaces that are bump-outs; they can park on West
3 Elizabeth…nobody’s going to go across the street to Overland to park, or down to the single-family. I do
4 take exception with it being compared…being similar to what’s across the street. Across the street is, I
5 think, anywhere from twelve units an acre or greater. The other part of this project was there was some
6 zoning, down-zoning, so the back area is developed at almost less than three units an acre, and this
7 portion you are looking at today is about eight units an acre. So, it’s very low density, it’s a very different
8 market, it’s not going to be investor properties we assume, with lots of folks parking.
9 Concerning the alignment at West Elizabeth and Overland Trail…the alignment between West
10 Elizabeth, you know as it goes across to the west…to this new extension across Overland Trail, it works
11 fine, which…whenever streets are extended from developed to undeveloped areas, there are oftentimes
12 circumstances that do require alignment adjustments; and this one is a minimal condition that was
13 reviewed and approved by the City engineers and the private design engineers. The…improvements are
14 not part of the scope of this townhome replat anyway, so…I don’t know, I mean it’s, I know it’s a
15 concern, but it’s not part of what you’re looking at. Many of the issues…and regarding the turn lane,
16 many of these issues are mitigated on the basis of scope, the size of this project. So, the results of the
17 traffic study did not show a need for additional turn lanes because the traffic count for this project is so
18 low. This replat does not increase the number of units or buildings, so it didn’t affect the number of
19 buildings or units, it didn’t affect the existing traffic study. The list of improvements belong to Phase
20 One and are not attached to Bella Vira townhomes site.
21 So, the other thing that was mentioned, I think…or at least that was mentioned in the notes, was a
22 connection of the sidewalk. The sidewalk is connected as it goes to the south across Fort Collins-
23 Loveland District’s frontage, so the sidewalk will be connected all the way…across from The Ponds all
24 the way through the end of this site.
25 And I think, oh, you know, I mean, we went through the process; it was a long, involved process.
26 The term purportedly was used as far as that process, but it was a difficult process; again, it was
27 challenging zoning, but we really appreciated the neighborhood’s…the neighbors at The Ponds…we’re
28 really excited about this project and can answer any questions you may have regarding any of the things
29 I’ve discussed or anybody else has brought up.
30 CHAIR CARPENTER: Any questions for the applicant at this time from the Board?
31 MR. MINATTA: Thanks.
32 CHAIR CARPENTER: No? Staff responses to public input, please.
33 MR. WRAY: There were some questions on, you know, the neighborhood meetings prior to this
34 request. I already mentioned the original neighborhood meeting that was part of the original approval in
35 2006, and the reasons why the neighborhood meeting for this request was waived. One of the questions
36 was raised, why wasn’t there a neighborhood meeting with the request to extend vested rights last year?
37 And that really wasn’t a development proposal, that was an action to extend, again, vested rights of a final
38 development plan, and a neighborhood meeting is not required for that. I understand the frustration that
39 so much time has gone by since the original approvals in 2006 and 2008, and all of a sudden there’s a lot
Packet Pg. 512
Attachment18.4: Verbatim Transcript of Planning and Zoning Board Hearing (Bella Vira Phase 2 Major Amendment and Replat - Appeal)
9
1 of construction activity out there, and that speaks to just the ability of a project coming forward and
2 pulling permits for the first filing and the beginnings of the second filing. But there was notice for this
3 request sent out, there were signs posted…so that, I think, addresses those questions. A lot of the other
4 questions related to the previously approved final plan, and we have other staff here to answer some of
5 those traffic related questions if you would like.
6 CHAIR CARPENTER: Please.
7 MR. WARD STANFORD: Good evening, Board. Ward Stanford with City of Fort Collins
8 Traffic. Looking at some of the traffic items that were brought up, the aspect of a four-way stop at that
9 location…I’m not aware of the request for it, but looking at what a four-way stop is for, the location
10 probably would not be deemed a four-way stop location…possible two-way. But, to even use stop signs
11 of any kind for traffic calming is not what a stop sign is for; its job is to control and regulate, it’s not to be
12 used as a speed reduction tool or a traffic calming tool per se. So, the use, in that manner…it’s typically
13 not utilized for that, it’s typically not effective for that. I would assume at as the development comes in
14 out there, and the conditions start to change and the area evolves into the built out condition, that we
15 would be involved in monitoring what’s going on out there and address those items. Certainly, you
16 know, we have the neighborhood traffic safety program, which is designed to help neighborhoods that
17 have problems; that have either speeding problems or other disobedient traffic characteristics. And that
18 could be requested to be involved in there by the local presidents. That’s typically how we would address
19 it; we don’t do things before the problem…we want to see what the problem is to address something
20 besides a speculative problem.
21 Traffic to Prospect…I would venture to guess that there will be traffic going over to Prospect.
22 The signal light is put in for the west…for that region, for that area. It’s not put in for a given
23 neighborhood. The City has connectivity standards that want neighborhoods adjacent to each other to
24 connect with each other, and that signal light is there to serve that area and not, you know, a specific one
25 item area or one location. So, I would venture to guess that at times of day, that traffic will utilize that
26 signalized intersection at Prospect.
27 The difficulties of it at Elizabeth and Overland…difficulty, yes, typical of any minor side street
28 adjacent to an arterial. Amazingly, the arterial out there…a typical arterial is about fifteen thousand and
29 higher volumes, this one is running about ten thousand at the moment, so it’s kind of under scaled for a
30 four-lane arterial. And, actually, looking back at volumes that we had done back in 2009, and now
31 volumes that we did recently in 2013, there’s been a reduction of traffic on Overland and also on
32 Elizabeth in that area. Not a great reduction, five, six hundred vehicles an hour, but still, we’ve
33 experienced that throughout this whole economic downturn, that many of our streets have reduced in
34 traffic a little bit just due to the economic influence that happened during that period. And since things
35 really haven’t come back strong…they are looking better than they certainly were…we don’t have new
36 growth yet out there, or other reasons for traffic to be shifting to Overland per se. So, right now they are
37 just slightly lower than they were a few years ago. I don’t have numbers from back in ’06 when it was
38 developed…when it was approved, but looking at it from that standpoint…we had a steady general
39 growth back then so I would venture to guess even ’06 was less than ’09. Now, where that stands with
40 2013, I don’t know. It could be equivalent, it could have been still just a little bit lower.

1 BOARDMEMBER KRISTIN KIRKPATRICK: Ward, the only thing I have left on my list is the
2 ped access and sidewalks…the pedestrian access and sidewalks.
3 MS. SHERI LANGENBERGER: Hi, Sheri Langenberger with the Engineering Department. In
4 accordance with the approved plans that are being under construction by the single-family portion, they
5 will be installing sidewalk from the single potion…filing portion back there along the south side of
6 Elizabeth out to Overland Trail and from that corner of Overland Trail and Elizabeth south to the existing
7 sidewalk down by The Ponds. So, they will be providing that connection. Part of that is also extending
8 the box culvert over the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal so that there is room for a sidewalk along that
9 side as well. So, that connection will occur as part of the single-family and is required…in essence for
10 the multi-family, or the single-family attached project in order for them to get their building
11 permits…pretty much all that stuff with the single-family has to be in place because they’re installing the
12 water main to get into the site going down Elizabeth…the sewer and everything that this project is going
13 to tie off of. So, those things will need to be in place before this project will have people living there.
14 CHAIR CARPENTER: Gerry?
15 MEMBER HART: One question on the water runoff that was raised by Mr. Edwards…can we
16 address that please?
17 MS. LANGENBERGER: …the area just kind of to the west and the south of the site there, that is
18 a City-owned property that are regional detention ponds, and that is where their drain-off…drainage for
19 the development goes into. So, it was designed when the City…when those ponds were developed as
20 regional detention ponds, it was done to…sized and incorporated to handle the drainage from this
21 development as well.
22 MEMBER HART: Okay, thank you.
23 CHAIR CARPENTER: The only thing I had left was the no sign on the property, could you speak
24 to that Pete?
25 MR. WRAY: The…as I understand, the sign at the recent location was actually posted on the
26 corner of Overland and West Elizabeth on the southeast corner where there is a sidewalk. On the west
27 side of Overland Trail there’s really no sidewalk along that portion, or development at this point. And
28 when we received one of the calls today, they referenced the sign on that corner.
29 CHAIR CARPENTER: Okay, thank you. Jeff?
30 MEMBER SCHNEIDER: Ward, can you just clear up one item. Has there been significant
31 development in the area since 2006 that would warrant a new traffic impact study, or has there been no
32 development changes for a cause of influx of residents or housing or what have you that could impact the
33 study from 2006 to current status?
34 MR. STANFORD: Thinking about the area, I…the immediate area I would say along Overland
35 and that west area…closest area I can think that’s had any development in recent years is probably
36 adjacent to…actually adjacent to Shields, more of the residential housing that’s been coming in. Trying
37 to think in that west side location and community, trying to think back in ’06 when some of that
Packet Pg. 514
Attachment18.4: Verbatim Transcript of Planning and Zoning Board Hearing (Bella Vira Phase 2 Major Amendment and Replat - Appeal)
11
1 development that came in around Elizabeth…I think Saddlebrook, Saddleback, some of those that were
2 along Elizabeth back easterly. I don’t know if those were coming in around 2002 to 2006 or around 2006,
3 so I’m having a hard time envisioning when they came in, but if they had, they would have probably
4 come in roughly at this time or a touch earlier, so they might have been a part of the environment at that
5 time. But, since then, thinking about growth in the area, I cannot come up with new development of any
6 significance that has changed anything, especially when you look at the traffic volumes that are out there,
7 it’s already indicative that it’s less at this time.
8 MR. WRAY: I just wanted to add to that, that that was kind of the larger context that you were
9 asking about, but the approved project development plan in 2006 and the traffic study was based on
10 twenty-five units for this Filing 2, and this request is not increasing the number of units in any manner,
11 it’s still twenty-five units, just a different use type and lot configuration.
12 MEMBER SCHNEIDER: No, and I just wanted to make sure that there was no significant
13 developments or changes prior…or since 2006 that would warrant a concern, regardless of the number of
14 units…the impact study from 2006 to current.
15 CHAIR CARPENTER: Emily?
16 BOARDMEMBER EMILY HEINZ: Yeah, Pete, if I heard Mr. Sutherland right, it sounded like
17 he said there wasn’t a neighborhood meeting in 2006. Do you know? Can you speak to that, if there was
18 one back then?
19 MR. WRAY: There was a neighborhood meeting in 2006. This was a Type II review because of
20 the changes in the western portion of the Filing 1, with the Residential Foothills change…so there was a
21 neighborhood meeting in 2006. There wasn’t one for this request, it was waived because of the reasons
22 that I stated, by the decision of the Director.
23 CHAIR CARPENTER: Michael?
24 MEMBER HOBBS: Ward, I’m sorry not Ward…Pete, when was the first filing, which is now a
25 Richmond development, is that correct, Richmond Homes? Do I have that right? When was that
26 approved?
27 MS. LANGENBERGER: The utility plans were signed…the final date on the utility plan was
28 1/30/08, and the development agreement was dated, I think, in January of ’08 as well. So it was
29 considered approved in January of ’08.
30 MEMBER HOBBS: And how many single-family units is that?
31 MR. WRAY: Sixty.
32 MEMBER HOBBS: Thank you.
33 CHAIR CARPENTER: Any other questions from the Board? Okay, I’ll bring it back up for

1 MEMBER HART: You know, I think that the issue that is at hand, probably the biggest issue, is
2 the lack of meetings, and lack of communication that the people in the neighborhood perceive. I think
3 people in the neighborhood need to understand, I live there, and I was on the HOA when this originally
4 was approved, so I’m probably a little bit more knowledgeable of this particular project than people. But,
5 it’s been talked about in our neighborhood for the past seven years; I think people are aware of the
6 neighborhood, but I don’t think what people are aware of is what this Board can do and cannot do. And,
7 in 2008 when this was granted final approval, they had a vested right…have the right to do what was
8 approved in their development. And, all they’re doing at this point is changing the ownership pattern; it’s
9 not going to affect traffic, it’s not going to affect drainage, it’s not going to affect anything that hasn’t
10 already been approved. And to discuss these matters is probably beyond the scope of the issue at hand
11 here. And I think that the developer and the City has tried pretty hard to respond to the concerns people
12 have had, so at least you can understand where they’re coming from. But, all we’re doing tonight is
13 looking at this project and determining, should the ownership pattern be changed, not having anything
14 substantive to do with land use. I think we need to take another look at how we do our reviews and our
15 hearings and our public notifications, I agree with that. But, there are…the substantive issues I think have
16 been adequately addressed here, and I just think the people need to know that. The time to have
17 participated in this project was 2006 and 2008. That’s all.
18 CHAIR CARPENTER: Anyone else?
19 MEMBER KIRKPATRICK: I can certainly appreciate the applicant’s desire to make these
20 single-family attached…NPR had a very lengthy discussion about the difficulty in condo projects just this
21 morning…and the liability and the difficulty of getting insurance, and so I think that it in no way, shape
22 or form alters, as Gerry said, the impacts that have already been mitigated, have been found to be in
23 compliance with our Land Use Code and were approved. That being said, I would also agree that I think I
24 can see why the decision was made to not have a neighborhood meeting eight years later, because the
25 changes are very insignificant. But, I think that the neighborhood doesn’t know that, and so I think that
26 what we did tonight could have all been addressed probably in a neighborhood meeting, and this probably
27 would have stayed on Consent. Which is not, you know, selfishly for us to have left an hour earlier, but
28 just because I think that we do have an obligation to be doing our due diligence in communication to
29 neighborhoods, and so I think that we could probably do better, as always, we can always do better.
30 CHAIR CARPENTER: Anyone else?
31 MEMBER HART: Just in case anyone was wondering, I do not perceive I have a conflict on this
32 issue because I was not in the notification area and I approved, last year, the extension. So, I don’t
33 perceive I have any kind of conflict.
34 CHAIR CARPENTER: Does anybody…is anybody ready for a motion?
35 DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY ECKMAN: Again, you need two motions, one for the modification

Ken Sampley, Stormwater/Floodplain Program Mgr
SUBJECT
Resolution 2014-033 Superseding Resolution 2013-049 and Authorizing the Execution of a Revised First
Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement Establishing the Boxelder Basin Regional Stormwater
Authority.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to approve a revised First Amendment to the Boxelder Basin Regional Stormwater
Authority (BBRSA) in place of the First Amendment that was authorized by the adoption of Resolution 2014-
049. The Revised First Amendment:
• Authorizes the BBRSA to determine and make minor revisions to properties within the Service Area of
the BBRSA by designating areas as “non-tributary areas”, and to grant fee credits to other areas within the
Service Area;
• Authorizes the BBRSA to accept loans from the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to fund
the design and construction of the remaining regional stormwater projects; and,
• Establishes a sunset provision that terminates collection of stormwater fees and charges either twenty
years after the effective date of this Amendment, provided there is agreement regarding the operation
and maintenance responsibilities for the projects, or upon completion of all regional stormwater projects,
payment of all debt incurred by the BBRSA, agreement as to payment of any BBRSA obligations to
Members and disbursement of any remaining revenues and agreement among the Members as to any
continuing obligation for operation and maintenance of the projects.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Boxelder Creek Watershed encompasses over 265 square miles and extends from just north of the
Wyoming border to the Poudre River on the south. Several local governments have worked together since
2005 to identify ways to mitigate flood hazards within the area that is tributary to Boxelder Creek from
County Road 70 north of Wellington south to where Boxelder Creek floodwaters join the Cache La Poudre
River. The Boxelder Creek 100-Year floodplain impacts approximately 4,900 acres of land within the
regional area. Due to the numerous split flows and diversions that occur, the potential for overtopping
frequently used roads and the probability of the existing conveyance system to become blocked, there is
the potential for loss of life and/or bodily injury during the 100-Year Flood.
In August 2008, the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County and Town of Wellington entered into an
intergovernmental agreement to establish the Boxelder Basin Regional Stormwater Authority (BBRSA) and
fund the design and construction of regional stormwater improvements. In 2012, the Town of Timnath
entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the BBRSA to financially participate in the design and
Agenda Item 19
Item # 19 Page 2
construction of regional stormwater improvements. The originally proposed First Amendment to the BBRSA
Intergovernmental agreement was approved by both the City of Fort Collins and the Town of Wellington in May
2013. Larimer County, however, expressed concerns regarding the need to identify and fund specific
improvements to County Road 52 and to better define the sunset language provision included in the
amendment. A staff update on the BBRSA and associated projects on Boxelder Creek was presented at the
January 28, 2014 City Council Work Session.
In 2014, all parties executed the County Road 52 Improvements IGA to address Larimer County’s concerns.
Accordingly, the BBRSA Master Plan has been updated and revised to consist of the following regional
stormwater projects:
Diversion of Coal Creek to Clark Reservoir (Clark);
East Side Detention Facility (ESDF);
County Road 52 Improvements (CR 52 Improvements); and
Larimer and Weld Canal Crossing Structure (LWCCS).
Larimer County has proposed a revision to the First Amendment to the BBRSA Intergovernmental Agreement
that specifies a twenty-year sunset provision on the collection of stormwater fees and charges pending
agreement of the parties regarding the on-going operations and maintenance of the regional stormwater
projects.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
In light of the BBRSA Stormwater Master Plan revisions, an update of the estimated Benefit/Cost Ratio of the
regional stormwater projects was completed to confirm the financial benefits. The table below uses
information on damage losses from the 2006 Boxelder Creek Regional Stormwater Master Plan and
compares the losses with the current estimated construction costs for the remaining BBRSA projects (ESDF,
LWCCS, and CR52 Improvements).

Review of the table shows an updated Benefit/Cost Ratio of 3.95. In most instances, a B/C ratio of 1.5 or 2 is
considered very good. Such a high B/C ratio is very unusual and demonstrates the dramatic benefits that
construction of the BBRSA projects has with regard to the reduction in damages from a 100-Year flood
event.
Summary – Fort Collins Benefits
There are significant financial benefits and reductions in flood damage to properties located with the City of Fort
Collins and its GMA as presented at both the January 28, 2014 Council Work Session and March 18, 2014 Regular
Council Meeting. Highlights of the benefits include:
Agenda Item 19
Item # 19 Page 3
Cooper Slough
The BBRSA regional stormwater projects will eliminate the westerly Boxelder Creek overflow that
extends south along the east side of Interstate Highway 25.
A savings of $11.3 Million in reduced stormwater infrastructure costs.
Removal of 130 acres of land from the 100-Year floodplain.
Reduces flooding damage to existing properties at the Mulberry Road / Interstate Highway 25 interchange.
Boxelder Creek
The BBRSA regional stormwater projects will eliminate the westerly Boxelder Creek overflow that
extends south along the east side of Interstate Highway 25.
There is a $6 million savings in stormwater infrastructure required for roads within the Fort Collins GMA.
There is a $2.1 million savings in stormwater improvements at Boxelder Creek / Prospect Road.
Removal of 650 acres of land from the 100-year floodplain.
20 Year Stormwater Fee and Charge Sunset Provision
The revised language in the First Amendment states that the BBRSA shall terminate collection of stormwater
fees and charges twenty years after the effective date of the Amendment provided there is agreement among
the Members with regard to any continued obligation of the Authority which extends beyond such termination
for operation and maintenance responsibilities for the Coal Creek Flood Mitigation, ESDF, CR 52
Improvements, and LWCCS projects, or upon the occurrence of all of the following contingencies (a) through
(e), whichever first occurs:
(a) Completion of the East Side Detention Facility/Gray Lakes and Larimer/Weld County Canal Crossing
Structure projects;
(b) Payment in full of the loan from the CWCB and any other obligations of the Authority;
(c) Agreement among the Members with regard to any continued obligation of the Authority which extends
beyond the termination of collection of fees and charges by the Authority including, but not limited to,
operation and maintenance responsibilities for the Coal Creek Flood Mitigation, the East Side
Detention Facility/Gray Lakes, and Larimer/Weld County Canal Crossing Structure projects.;
(d) Agreement among the Members as to payment of any Authority obligation to the Members for
matching funds of the Members for the FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant in the approximate
amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000); and,
(e) Agreement among the Members as to the disbursement of any revenues of the Authority which
remains after the Authority has finalized all of the administrative and organizational requirements
necessary to terminate collection of fees and charges by the Authority including, but not limited to, any
required budgets, audits, and filings with any state or federal authority.
The current financial scenarios indicate that the CWCB loans are anticipated to be paid off within 15 years.
This is well within the twenty year time period included in the revised First Amendment language. It should also
be noted that the twenty year time frame is also contingent on the requirement that Fort Collins, Larimer County
and Wellington have reached agreement with regard to the long-term operations and maintenance of the
regional stormwater projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The BBRSA has already received Endangered Act Species (ESA) clearance for its projects and is working with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to receive the required 404 Permit. In accordance with the
language in the original Boxelder IGA -- the location, size and impacts of any BBRSA or Fort Collins/Timnath
stormwater improvements projects built on or in the vicinity of the Arapaho Bend Natural Area east of Interstate
Highway 25 shall be minimized to the extent reasonably possible and that all construction activities and
improvements shall be sensitive to the natural features of the affected property. Any area impacted by
construction activities shall be restored to pre-construction natural conditions to the extent reasonably possible,
using native vegetation.
Agenda Item 19
Item # 19 Page 4
As a result of the relocation of the ESDF downstream, the Middle Boxelder Creek improvements were
eliminated, reducing potential impacts on the section of Boxelder Creek from County Roads 48 to 54.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Information on the BBRSA and progress on its regional projects is presented monthly at the BBRSA Board
of Directors meeting which is held at 4:00 PM the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Leeper Center,
3800 Wilson Avenue, Wellington, Colorado. The Board Meeting agendas and minutes along with relevant
studies, mapping and other information are available for review at the following BBRSA website hyperlink:
http://www.boxelderauthority.org/. In addition, the BBRSA maintains a mailing list of parties who have
expressed interest in receiving information and regularly distributes Board Meeting agendas and materials.
The BBRSA also publishes and distributes a quarterly newsletter which provides information and updates
on the authority and its programs.
Comprehensive updates on the BBRSA were presented at the recent public meetings listed below:
January 28, 2014 City Council Work Session
February 26, 2014 BBRSA Board of Directors Work Session
March 18, 2014 City Council Regular Meeting.

WHEREAS, the Authority has preliminarily designed the East Side Detention Facility
also known as the Gray Lakes Project and the Larimer/Weld County Crossing Structure (the
“Projects”) which are the two projects the Authority has determined need to be constructed to
meet the goals of the Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has determined, through preliminary design, that the cost of
the Projects is estimated at $9.9 million; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement dated
November 15, 2012, (the “Timnath IGA”) between the Authority and the Timnath Development
Authority of Colorado (“TDA”) which provides that TDA shall participate in the funding of the
Projects; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Timnath IGA, the TDA has transferred $500,000 to the
Authority for use by the Authority in the continuing design of the Projects; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Timnath IGA, the TDA will reimburse the Authority for
25% of the costs of the Projects incurred after the transfer of the $500,000 to the Authority; and
EXHIBIT A
WHEREAS, the Authority has determined the most cost efficient method of funding the
Projects is obtaining a loan through the Colorado Water Conservation Bo0ard (“CWCB”); and
WHEREAS, the CWCB loan requires a 10% local match resulting in a $9.0 million loan.
This match will be the responsibility of the Authority with TDA reimbursing the Authority 25%
of the match pursuant to the Timnath IGA; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has met with the Members and reviewed the design and
construction of the Projects, the funding of the Projects, and the terms and conditions of the
proposed loan from CWCB; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has requested the Members amend the IGA to allow the
Authority to move forward with the funding and construction of the Projects; and
WHEREAS, upon completion of the Projects, payment of all debt incurred by the
Authority for the construction of the Projects, and agreement among the Members as to any
continuing obligation for operation and maintenance of any Authority projects, there is no longer
any need to continue with the Authority; and
WHEREAS, the Authority and the Members have also determined that the Authority
should have the right to make minor revisions to properties within the Service Area of the
Authority by designating areas as “non-tributary areas”, and grant fee credits to other areas
within the Service Area; and
WHEREAS, the Members have determined to enter into this First Amendment in order
to address the funding and construction of the Projects, the granting to the Authority the right to
provide fee credits to appropriate properties within the Service Area, and the termination of the
Authority.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Members hereto agree as follows:
1. Article II of the IGA shall be amended by the addition of Section 2.10 to read as
follows:
Section 2.10 Service Area Revisions. The Authority shall have the authority to
make minor revisions to the Service Area by designating properties as “Non-
Tributary Properties” or grant fee credits to other properties within the Service
Area as follows:
(a) The Authority may, on a case by case basis, determine that individual properties in
the Service Area are not tributary to the Boxelder Basin; and based upon that
determination, remove those properties from the Service Area of the Authority. Any
such removal shall be communicated to the Members in order for the individual
Member to make appropriate adjustment in its fee structure.
(b) The Authority may designate areas in the Service Area as “100 percent fee credit”
properties based upon the following criteria:
1. There are properties located within the Service Area which as of the date of this
Amendment drain into Soil Conservation Service/Natural Resources
Conservation Service dam-impounded lakes and decreed irrigation reservoirs
that in 100 year storm event release upstream waters at a rate less than or equal
to the release from an historic two-year storm event. This effectively provides
mitigation of downstream flood damage. These properties are eligible for 100%
fee credit on the annual stormwater service fee as long as these conditions
continue.
2. If a residential (dwelling) or commercial structure lies within a sub-basin area
that drains to a lake, pond and/or depressed feature, which does not contribute
runoff to the Boxelder Basin during a 100 year storm, the sub-basin shall be
considered to be a non-tributary sub-basin and the individual property
containing the residence (dwelling) or commercial structure is eligible for 100%
fee credit on the annual stormwater service fee as long as the conditions do not
change. The criteria for the Authority’s determination of such a sub-basin area
being a non-tributary sub-basin is set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
(c) If the Service Area boundary intersects any portion of a residential (dwelling)
structure, then the property upon which the residence is located shall be assessed 50%
of the annual stormwater service fee.
(d) All fee credits shall be given on a calendar year basis. The Authority shall provide
each individual Member with the 100% fee credit and 50% assessed properties located
within each Member’s jurisdiction for the purpose of allowing the Member to calculate
credits for any properties entitled to fee credits.
2. The IGA shall be amended by the addition of the following two Articles:
ARTICLE IX
EAST SIDE DETENTION FACILITY/GRAY LAKES AND LARIMER/WELD COUNTY
CANAL CROSSING STRUCTURE PROJECTS FUNDING.
Section 9.01 The Members hereby agree to authorize the Authority to apply for and
receive a loan from the Colorado Water Conservation Board for the design and construction of
the Projects upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) The amount of the loan from the CWCB shall not exceed the principal sum of $9
million.
(b) The Authority shall be responsible for the local match which is 10% of the
principal sum of the loan. The 25% TDA reimbursement shall be part of the local match.
(c) The term of the loan shall not exceed fifteen (15) years.
(d) The interest rate on the loan shall not exceed 2.75% APR.
(e) The Members shall provide any documentation or authority required by the
CWCB of the Members for the Authority to obtain and this loan.
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION OF STORMWATER FEES AND CHARGES
Section 10.01 The Members agree that the Authority shall terminate collection of
stormwater fees and charges twenty years after the effective date of this Amendment provided
there is agreement among the Members with regard to any continued obligation of the Authority
which extends beyond such termination for operation and maintenance responsibilities for the
Coal Creek Flood Mitigation, the East Side Detention Facility /Gray Lakes, and Larimer/Weld
County Canal Crossing Structure projects, OR upon the occurrence of all of the following
contingencies (a) through (e), whichever first occurs.
(a) Completion of the East Side Detention Facility/Gray Lakes and Larimer/Weld
County Canal Crossing Structure projects.
(b) Payment in full of the loan from the CWCB and any other obligations of the
Authority.
(c) Agreement among the Members with regard to any continued obligation of the
Authority which extends beyond the termination of collection of fees and charges by the
Authority including, but not limited to, operation and maintenance responsibilities for the Coal
Creek Flood Mitigation, the East Side Detention Facility/Gray Lakes, and Larimer/Weld County
Canal Crossing Structure projects.
(d) Agreement among the Members as to payment of any Authority obligation to the
Members for matching funds of the Members for the FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant in the
approximate amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000).
(e) Agreement among the Members as to the disbursement of any revenues of the
Authority which remain after the Authority has finalized all of the administrative and
organizational requirements necessary to terminate collection of fees and charges by the
Authority including, but not limited to, any required budgets, audits, and filings with any state or
federal authority.
3. This Amendment shall be effective upon the execution of the First Amendment by
all of the Members.

EXHIBIT A
Policy for Non-Tributary Sub-Basin:
If a residential (dwelling) or commercial structure lies within a Sub-Basin area that drains to a
lake, pond and/or a depressed feature that can be shown to not contribute runoff to the Boxelder
Basin during a 100-year storm, then the Sub-Basin will be considered to be a Non-Tributary Sub-
Basin and the owner of the residential (dwelling) or commercial structure will be given a 100%
fee credit on the annual stormwater service fee as long as the conditions don’t change.
Option A: The following method can be used to determine if the Sub-Basin area in question is a
Non-Tributary Sub-Basin:
Step 1: Determine the entire drainage area for the basin, using the best available
topographic data.
Step 2: Determine the percent impervious area for the entire drainage area based on best
available aerial imagery. Using Table RO-5 in Volume 1 of the Urban Storm Drainage
Criteria Manual determine the associated ‘C’ value for Type C and D soils (Table
attached).
Step 3: Using the Rational Method Formula: Q=ciA Determine the volume of runoff for
the closed basin area assuming a 2-hour design storm with a total depth of 3.67 inches.
Multiply the volume by 2 to account for prior rainfall events.
Step 4: Determine the volume of storage available within the pond, lake or depressed
area being sure to account for the normal water surface elevation if there is one.
Step 5: Compare the volume of runoff with the volume of storage available. If the
volume of runoff is less than the volume of storage then the basin is a Non-Tributary
Sub-Basin.
Option B: The property owner can hire an engineer to prepare a ModSWMM computer model of
the basin and storage area and prove through modeling that the basin is Non-Tributary.
The Authority may require a property receiving a fee credit draining to a Non-Tributary Sub-
Basin to provide a legal easement which permanently dedicates the available storage volume for
stormwater management purposes.

number of infected adult mosquitoes is a controversial
topic in Fort Collins. The goal of the current program
is to reduce the risk of transmission of WNV to people
while limiting the negative environmental and health
impacts. The use of adult mosquito control is a
decision based on risk management. The Program
Response Guidelines are in place to ensure that the
level of WNV activity has elevated to a point that has
been associated with unacceptable risk of human
disease before the use of adulticides is approved.
The use of adult mosquito control has been debated
among the TAC since its inception. Several studies
have been referenced to provide the rationale for using
ultralow volume (ULV) pesticide spraying when the
risk of human transmission has become too great. The
topics covered include relative risk analysis, endocrine
disruption, effectiveness of adulticiding, the label and
safety data sheets of the available products, and
general pesticide information. (located in the

ideal choice. These bacteria damage the gut of the
mosquito larvae when they eat it, causing the larvae to
starve to death.
Vectolex - Bacillus sphaericus (Bs) This is closely
related to Bti and has similar benefits but is considered
a true biological control due to the fact that it persists

consultation and technical assistance regarding West
Nile Virus control to communities throughout
Colorado and the nation. From 2004-2008, the CDC
tested all mosquitoes trapped in Fort Collins and
Loveland to research the best predictors of human
WNV disease. This research led to the development
of several risk indicators, including the vector index to
estimate levels of WNV-infected mosquitoes in a
community and potential risk of human outbreaks. The
City uses the risk index as one element of the action
thresholds as described in the program response
guidelines. CDC employees have served as TAC
members, though not as official representatives of the
CDC; they represent their individual views.
CSU contributes to the WNV management program in
multiple ways. Since 2009, the university has provided
mosquito testing for WNV for a fee, since the CDC no
longer performs the service following completion of
the project to evaluate the risk index. The City of
Loveland also uses these testing services provided by
CSU. In addition, CSU faculty have participated on
Packet Pg. 308
Attachment16.6: Program Manual, March 2014 (draft) (West Nile Virus Management Plan Options)
The cost of testing is defrayed partially by partnering
with Loveland to access the testing services on a “pay
as you test” arrangement.
2009 CSU cost: $33,296 Loveland portion: $2,220
2010 CSU cost: $33,608 Loveland portion: $3,801
2011 CSU cost: $22,872 Loveland portion: $2,597
In 2011, an additional lab in CSU helped to reduce the
cost for WNV positive mosquito testing due to an
ongoing research project. There was also a significant
budget reduction, which reduced early- and late-season
trapping and testing.
In the 2011-2012 budget cycles, due to the significant
reduction in the WNV management budget, the TAC
created recommendations to address the budget
shortfall. This included shortening the season to
simply cover June, July and August. The main
elements of the program were not impacted, but the
season was shortened, and outreach programs were

the 2007 WNV season, the City Manager directed staff
to form the citizen Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) made up of community members who are
subject matter experts and concerned citizens
appointed by the City Manager. The review of the
WNV management program began in the fall of 2007.
2008
The TAC, formed in late 2007, was comprised of
representatives from the Larimer County Department
of Health and Environment, Colorado State
University, an environmental consultant, members of
the Natural Resources and Air Quality Advisory
Boards, and the medical community of Larimer
County. There is a great depth of local knowledge in
the area of infectious disease and integrated mosquito
management. Committee members also included
employees of the CDC and US Department of

guidelines include the full spectrum of WNV activity - from offseason through a WNV outbreak. The program
response guidelines were developed by staff, with advice from the TAC, based on the Council-adopted West
Nile Virus Policy.
TAC members presented information from the State of California's WNV programming which included a
response guideline model. Some TAC members found the California example was more accessible and more
easily understandable to laypeople than the current City program response guidelines, which were
administratively adopted in 2013. The California example uses different thresholds and so would need to be
adapted to reflect Fort Collins' WNV Management Plan. Staff drafted program response guidelines that reflect
the California example. Because the timing for implementing the operational phase of the 2014 season is so
close, this process will be undertaken during the 2014 season and reviewed after it has been implemented, in
2015. Staff expects to review any program response guideline improvements with the TAC and include the
group's feedback in a final plan. Currently, these guidelines are not formally incorporated into the WNV
Management Plan or Policy.
Maintain As-Is
A TAC option is that the program response guideline documents not change at this time. A comprehensive
review conducted by a third-party expert could be done to develop an alternative decision document in the
style of the State of California response guidelines. Development of this document will take additional
discussions and data, perhaps years of development to completely perfect, but the concept is to simplify the
program response guidelines in order to increase public understanding of the response thresholds. Maintaining
the program response guidelines without change retains the human case threshold at “More than one human
case being reported per week in Fort Collins” and would also retain the 0.75 vector index.
Remove Human Cases
Human cases are reported three to four (3-4) weeks after disease onset or four to five (4-5) weeks after
transmission, meaning this is a lagging indicator because reports to public health officials by a doctor follows
