B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 060, 2012, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Stormwater Fund from Larimer County for Analysis and Design of Certain Stormwater Improvements in the West Vine Basin. The City of Fort Collins and Larimer County are proposing to supplement an existing Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that addresses stormwater improvements within the West Vine Basin in northwest Fort Collins and portions of Larimer County.

Except to the extent that the 1997 IGA addresses the development of a Dry Creek project to create a local improvement district and other related actions, the 1997 IGA is still in effect. The proposed supplemental IGA is drafted to allow the City and County to collaborate on the funding and construction of certain stormwater improvements in the West Vine basin and in light of circumstances that have changed since 1997. With the supplemental IGA, the City and the County are proposing to equally share engineering costs associated with the analysis and design of the West Vine Basin stormwater outfall channel (Outfall Channel) and the Forney stormwater detention pond (Forney Pond). 6.

Proposed Historic Preservation Demolition/Alteration Review Process Improvements: Phase I and II. (staff: Laurie Kadrich, Karen McWilliams; 1 hour discussion) At Council’s direction, the Community Development Neighborhood Services Department (CDNS) is undertaking a two-phase project to consider changes to the City’s Demolition/Alteration Review Process (Section 14-72 of the City Code), which determines the historic eligibility of properties in the City and defines the process for reviewing alterations or demolition. Phase l, to be discussed at this Council work session, proposes changes to Chapter 14 to addresses Council’s immediate concerns with the review process: (1) to ensure timely public notice to citizens (usually neighbors) early in the process about determinations of eligibility and major alteration requests for historic structures; and (2) to provide a method for appealing historic eligibility status. If the Phase I proposed changes are implemented, other parts of Chapter 14 of the City Code will need to be modified in order to ensure an efficient public notice, eligibility, demolition and appeal process. Those housekeeping changes are included in this proposal. An additional modification is recommended for Chapter 2 of the City Code in order to ensure compliance of Landmark Preservation Board member appointments with Certified Local Government Standards. Phase II of the project, to be completed later this year, will involve a more comprehensive review of the Demolition/Alteration Review Process. 3. Other Business. 4. Adjournment.
