FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: August 21, 2001
STAFF: Mark Sears
SUBJECT:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 135, 2001, Authorizing the Conveyance of Non-exclusive
Easement Interests for the Construction of a Thirty-six Inch Water Line by the Fort Collins-
Loveland Water District on a Portion of the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. The Natural Resources Advisory Board
recommends that this easement not be approved. (See attached NRAB recommendation.) This easement
request meets the new Natural Areas Easement Policy, with one exception; staff is recommending that the
application fee be waived. Negotiations with the District on this easement predate discussion of the policy
and therefore the application fee was never part of the negotiations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Fort Collins-Loveland Water District will be responsible for all costs associated with the
construction of the water pipeline and restoration of disturbed areas. The District has agreed to
pay fair market value as compensation for the temporary construction easements and the
permanent easements. This value will be determined prior to second reading. Staff recommends
waiving the application fee.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Fort Collins-Loveland Water District has planned since 1986 to construct a 36-inch water
pipeline between Harmony Road and Trilby Road, adjacent to Taft Hill Road. The pipeline is
needed to supply water to existing and projected growth within the District's existing Service
Area. The City of Fort Collins, together with Larimer County, purchased the parcels of land
now known as the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area between 1993 and 1997. The proposed
easements would allow the construction of the new water pipeline on the Cathy Fromme Prairie,
east of south Taft Hill Road. The pipeline alignment was planned to minimize the impact to the
prairie and account for the planned fixture widening of Taft Hill Road in this vicinity.
A copy of the temporary and permanent easement forms that the District has agreed to sign are
on file in the City Clerk's Office. The final temporary and permanent easements will be
completed and signed prior to second reading.
BACKGROUND:
The Fort Collins-Loveland Water District is a political subdivision of the State of Colorado,
formed to provide water service to urban areas in south Fort Collins, north Loveland and areas of
unincorporated Larimer County between the two cities. The District obtains its water from
DATE: August 21,2001 2 ITEM NUMBER: 44
Horsetooth Reservoir, treats the water at its Soldier Canyon Treatment Plant, and transports it to
its service area via a series of pipelines. The District completed a master plan for its future
facilities in 1986. Among the future facilities identified in this plan was a 36-inch water pipeline
to be located along Taft Hill Road in southern Fort Collins. The 36-inch water pipeline would
connect to an existing 24-inch supply line at Taft Hill Road and Trilby Road. Future plans are
also to extend the pipeline to the south to connect to the City of Loveland water supply.
The District recently completed the construction of the first phase of the pipeline project, located
on the east side of Taft Hill Road between Horsetooth Road and old Harmony Road. The
District plans to complete the second phase of the pipeline during Fall of 2001 in order to meet
anticipated water demands. The second phase of the project would extend from old Harmony
Road south for two miles to Trilby Road, where it would connect to the existing pipeline. The
District has requested a 100-foot wide temporary construction easement and a 30-foot wide
permanent easement for the construction,operation, and maintenance of the water pipeline.
The Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area is located on both sides of Taft Hill Road for the first
mile of the proposed water line alignment. South of this point, the City owns (in conjunction
with Larimer County) the land for 0.75 mile along the eastern side of the road. The City has
reached agreement with the owners of the remaining 0.25 mile to Trilby Road. We anticipate
closing on this 40 acre parcel this fall, therefore we are asking Council to approve the easement
agreements for this parcel as well. The Larimer County owns the landfill property west of Taft
Hill Road along the second mile of the route.
Staff from several City departments have worked closely with the District to determine the
recommended location for the pipeline alignment, considering environmental conditions along
the alignment, the needs of the district for pipeline construction and operation, and the future
widening of Taft Hill Road from two lane to four lane, as called for in the City's adopted Master
Street Plan. Three alternatives were considered for the pipeline location: in Taft Hill Road itself,
west of Taft Hill Road,or east of Taft Hill Road.
From a natural areas protection perspective, the most desirable location for the water pipeline
would be within Taft Hill Road itself. The District desires not to place the pipeline under the
existing Taft Hill Road for several reasons. First, construction within Taft Hill Road would
require complete closure of the road for a period of two to three months. Second, placement in
the road now may require relocation of portions of the pipeline in the future when Taft Hill Road
is widened, which would interrupt water service.for a prolonged period of several months and
would greatly increase the cost of the pipeline. Third, compared to the proposed location,
placement of the pipeline in the road would cost much more due to the reconstruction of the
roadway. And fourth, given the volume of water to be carried in the pipeline, the District has
serious concerns about public safety in the event of a future leak in the pipeline if it was buried
in the road.
Natural Resources staff evaluated the alternatives of placing the pipeline on either side of Taft
Hill Road. Because there are extensive wetlands on the west side of the road, staff
recommended that both the future widening of Taft Hill Road and the pipeline location occur
entirely on the east side of the road, from "old" Harmony Road south to approximately the
entrance to the Larimer County Landfill. From this point south to Trilby Road, the fixture road
widening would occur on both sides of the road (as is normally done) and the pipeline would be
placed east of the road.
DATE: August 21,2001 3 ITEM NUMBER: 44
The City's adopted Master Street Plan calls for the widening of Taft Hill Road south of Harmony
Road from its current two-lane configuration to a four-lane arterial. The City Manager
anticipates that this project will be completed within approximately five years. Although formal
design is several years away, staff developed a conceptual plan for the project to facilitate
decision making regarding the water pipeline location. Key elements of the design include:
• Performing all of the road widening on the east side of the existing road, rather than on both
sides of the road from old Harmony Road south to the Landfill entrance.
• Using a "rural arterial" road cross-section rather than the standard arterial cross-section in
order to reduce the area of disturbance (a 72-foot cross section rather than a 145-foot cross
section).
• Varying the finished slopes adjacent to the road so they appear more natural and blend into
the environment of the Cathy Fromme Prairie.
• Locating the pipeline easement near the toe of the future slope of the road embankment so
that the pipeline does not need to be moved when the road is built and that the easement area
is not redisturbed by road construction.
These considerations led to the proposed location of the pipeline 175 feet east of the existing
centerline of Taft Hill Road. This means that, until Taft Hill Road is widened, the pipeline will
be located within the current Cathy Fromme Prairie rather than immediately adjacent to the road.
Ultimately, however, this arrangement should produce less impact to the prairie and result in a
more natural-appearing landscape.
In addition to the design considerations for locating the pipeline, Natural Resources staff has
developed additional provisions that are included in the easement and on the plans for resource
protection during construction and for restoration of the property following construction. Some
of the more significant measures include the following:
• Ecological characterization study to determine if plant or wildlife species of concern are
present. Construction is then scheduled to avoid or minimize the impact on the species found
and sensitive plants are removed for transplanting following construction.
• A specific access plan and use of construction fencing to limit construction activity to the
easements
• Erosion control.
• Maintain good communication with Natural Resources representative prior to, during, and
following construction to assure that the resource protection measures are being implemented
correctly.
• Segregation of topsoil from disturbed areas.
• Replace topsoil and reseed the disturbed areas per Natural Resources specifications.
• Payment of fees for the City to take over the ongoing management of the revegetation.
• Natural Resources must accept the restoration before the Contractor is relieved of
responsibility by the District.
With the resource protection measures in place, staff recommends approval of the proposed
easements. Construction of the new water line will impact the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural
Area. However, the pipeline is an essential public facility that has been anticipated for 15 years.
The District has worked with City staff to locate the pipeline appropriately and to implement the
appropriate resource protection measures.

MEMORANDUM
FROM THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
City of Fort Collins NATURAL RESOURCES ADVISORY BOARD
DATE: August 15, 2001
TO: Mayor and Council Members
John Fischbach, City Manager
FROM: Randy Fischer on Behalf of the Natural Resources Advisory Board
SUBJECT: Recommendation on Fort Collins/Loveland Water District Easement Requests
At its August 1, 2001, meeting, the Natural Resources Advisory Board (NRAB) heard staff
presentations on two related utility easements requested by Fort Collins/Loveland Water District
(the District). The Board recommends Council approval of the District's easement request to
install underground water transmission lines on parts of Coyote Ridge, McKee, and Long-View
Farm Natural Areas. However, the Board voted 6 to 1 to recommend denial of a similar
easement requested by the District through the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area. The
NRAB's recommendations on these two easement requests are discussed below.
Coyote Ridge Easement Request
The Board recommends Council approval of the Coyote Ridge easement request because the
proposed alignment is mostly consistent with guidelines established in the newly adopted
natural areas easement policy. This easement was negotiated in a spirit of compromise by the
District to minimize the potential impacts on the natural areas. Alternative alignments were
given consideration before selecting the final pipeline alignment. The Board commends Staff
and the District for selecting an alignment that avoids the use of natural area to the extent
possible. The pipeline will be within the existing Taft Hill Road right-of-way, except where it will
cross the McKee property, currently a dry land wheat farm. Although the Board expressed
concern over possible future impacts of repairs or replacement of the proposed water line, we
consider the requested easement the least objectionable alternative available at this time.
Cathy Fromme Prairie Request
The Board voted to recommend denial of the District's request to cross Cathy Fromme Prairie
for the following reasons:
• The District's proposed alignment is 175 feet to the east of Taft Hill Road, well outside the
existing road right-of-way. If approved, this proposed alignment will have significant adverse
impacts on sensitive native plant and animal communities and is inconsistent with the
guidelines contained in the newly adopted natural areas easement policy. These guidelines
state that underground utility easements are to be located within the existing rights-of-way
when possible.
• In contrast to the Coyote Ridge easement, the District failed to compromise on the selection
of the proposed alignment through the Cathy Fromme Prairie. Alternative alignments were

not adequately pursued or presented to the Board. For example, the District currently
maintains an 18-inch waterline within the northbound lane of the existing Taft Hill Road right-
of-way. According to staff, space exists for installation of the proposed 36-inch line in the
southbound lane of Taft Hill Road. However, this alternative appears not to have been
seriously evaluated or considered by the District.
• The District recently completed installing the northern section of its new pipeline that spans
the half mile between the new Harmony/Taft Hill Road and the old Harmony/Taft Hill Road
intersections. In this half mile, the pipeline was installed in the southbound lane of Taft Hill
Road, as private property exists on both side of the road. However, the unfinished section
of the proposed pipeline south of old Harmony Road angles eastward where the publicly-
owned natural area property begins. So, instead of staying within the road right-of-way, the
proposed alignment traverses the natural area for the next 2 miles to the south. Board
believes the use the natural area for the southern section of the pipeline is unnecessary
when the District previously used the roadway for the northern section.
• The District refuses to compensate staffs time spent in processing this easement request.
Hence, the application fee assessed by the City is Inconsistent with the newly adopted
natural areas policy that requires full compensation of all staff time spent in processing °
easement requests.
• Approval of this easement, as requested, creates the impression that natural areas have
little value to the community and that the City is unwilling to preserve the lands the citizens
have repeatedly expressed their trust in the City to preserve.
• Restoring the native vegetation destroyed during construction of the pipeline will be
extremely difficult, if not impossible. The damaged section will consist of a swath 100 feet
wide extending for 2 miles at a distance of 175 feet out into the natural area. This swath will
be highly visible from Taft Hill Road. To demonstrate just how devastating the destruction of
native short-grass prairie can be, consider the results of a recent project in Cathy Fromme
Prairie completed by South Fort Collins Sanitation District, the District's wastewater
counterpart. A year after installing a new sanitary sewer, the former pristine short-grass
prairie is now bare ground infested with noxious weeds.
The NRAB urges Council to realize that natural areas are highly valued community facilities.
These areas have become an integral part of the fabric of our community. We recommend that
Council establish a positive precedent that natural areas are irreplaceable community facilities
and are not free to be misused. We recommend denial of the District's request through Cathy
Fromme Prairie.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions regarding the Boards
recommendation on this issue.
