SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 038, 2016, Authorizing the Conveyance of an Access Easement on City
Property to Peter and Crystal Harper.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to authorize the conveyance of an access easement on City Property to a property
owner to use as a driveway access to their residential property. The City of Fort Collins owns a property on
Highway 14 near the Munroe Tunnel upstream from the Water Treatment Plant #1 property. The property was
purchased in 1977, in order to manage and protect the City’s water supply. The Harpers own a property
adjacent to the City property on which they are building a residential home. The Harpers discovered that a
portion of the driveway constructed for their home encroached on the City property. The property owners
ceased construction and contacted the City of Fort Collins Real Estate Department to acknowledge the
encroachment and request an easement. This Ordinance would authorize City staff to process the conveyance
of an access easement to Mr. and Mrs. Harper for the 8,400 square foot area of encroachment of the
driveway.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The location of the Harper property lies within a basin area which has been of concern to the City since the
2012 fires because of erosion and water quality impairment. This basin area, known as Unnamed 3 and
Unnamed 2b were heavily affected by the 2012 wildfires. This basin was targeted for restoration through the
High Park Fire NRCS-Emergency Watershed Protection program in 2013-2014, but the majority of restoration
in the lower basin was not able to be completed by the program end date. The Coalition for the Poudre River
Watershed (CPRW), of which the City is a partner, completed restoration work in surrounding areas; however,
they were unable to restore this particular basin area due to landowners’ concerns regarding granting access
for the work.
During a site visit with the property owner, Utilities staff discussed the driveway encroachment, alternatives,
and the need for restoration of the area to protect the City’s water supply from excessive sediment. The
encroaching driveway was found to not increase the erosion hazard in the area of concern, but the
construction of a new driveway in a different location would likely create new, significant erosion hazards.
CPRW completed an assessment and identified the need for additional stream channel and gully restoration
and road realignment needs within the basin, including Mr. Harper’s property. The work proposed by CPRW is
capable of retaining 34 tons of sediment within the basin thus reducing future deposition in the Poudre River.
Funding to complete this work on the Harper property is currently available through CPRW. Staff determined
that the greatest benefit to the City would be to keep the existing driveway in the constructed location and for
Agenda Item 13
Item # 13 Page 2
the property owner to facilitate agreements with CPRW and his neighboring property owners within the basin
area to complete additional post-fire restoration projects within the basin. Since the initial site visit, Mr. Harper
has engaged with neighboring property owners to restart discussions about the basin restoration needs with
CPRW.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Along with facilitating the discussions between area owners and CPRW, the property owner has agreed to pay
the City an amount of $500 for the permanent access easement, along with a $1,000 fee to cover Real Estate
Services staff time to process the request. The compensation for the easement was determined by contacting
a local real estate appraiser and using comparable market data.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its February 18, 2016, meeting, the Water Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
conveyance of the access easement on City Property to Peter and Crystal Harper, consistent with staff's
recommendation.

Excerpt from Unapproved Water Board Minutes – February 18, 2016
Review of Harper Property Easement Request
(Attachments available upon request)
Watershed Specialist Jill Oropeza summarized the request. Mr. Harper is seeking an easement to
keep in place a road that was recently cut to his home site and which passes through an adjacent
City-owned property in the Poudre Canyon. The roadway was constructed partially on City
property without the City’s permission. Mr. Harper is seeking options for maintaining safe
access to his property while also helping the City improve Poudre River water quality by
addressing post-fire runoff and erosion that originates on his and neighboring properties. The
greatest net benefit to the City is to keep the exiting road cut and landowners to work with
Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed (CPRW) www.poudrewatershed.org to complete
additional post-fire restoration projects within the basin.
Discussion Highlights
Board members inquired about various aspects of the easement request, including whether other
homeowners have made similar requests, and the expense involved if the easement request is
approved; staff replied that Mr. Harper is clear on his responsibilities if City Council approves
the easement request, including a formal agreement with CPRW to complete the work. If the
work is not done, the City would be able to revoke the agreement, per the City Attorney.
Board Member Duncan Eccleston moved that the Water Board recommend City Council
consider approval of the conveyance of an access easement on City Property to Peter and
Crystal Harper, consistent with Staff’s recommendation.
Board Member Michael Brown seconded the motion.
Vote on the motion: It passed unanimously, 11-0.

*The Fort Collins SAT was developed by modifying the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Analysis Tool developed by Eugene, Oregon, July 2009. 1
City of Fort Collins SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT TOOL (SAT)
(November 2014)
Creating a sustainable community
Plan Fort Collins is an expression of the community’s resolve to act sustainably: to systemically, creatively, and thoughtfully utilize environmental,
human, and economic resources to meet our present needs and those of future generations without compromising the ecosystems upon which we
depend.
How to use the tool
The Sustainability Assessment Tool (SAT) is designed to inform a deeper understanding of how policy and program choices affect the social
equity, environmental health and economic health of the community. The City of Fort Collins has developed a Sustainability Assessment
Framework that describes the purpose, objectives, and guidelines to assist City Program/Project Managers to determine:
• The process for cross-department collaboration in using the SAT
• Timing for applying a SAT
• When to apply a SAT
• How to document the results of the SAT and present at City Council Work Sessions and Regular Council Meetings
Further detailed guidance is available at: http://citynet.fcgov.com/sustainability/sustainabilityassessments.php
The SAT does not dictate a particular course of action; rather, the analysis provides policy makers and staff with a greater awareness of some
of the trade-offs, benefits and consequences associated with a proposal, leading to more mindful decision-making.
Brief description of proposal
Please provide a brief description of your proposal – 100 words or less
City staff recommends that Council adopt the proposed ordinance to grant an easement on City Property to adjacent landowners, Peter and Crystal Harper.
The Harpers are constructing a residential home adjacent to a City-owned parcel along Hwy 14 that was purchased in 1977 to protect the City’s Poudre water
supply. During driveway construction, they unintentionally encroached on the City’s property. They ceased activity, contacted the City’s Real Estate Department
and requested an easement.
The Harper Property is located within a basin severely burned in the 2012 wildfire and which continues to cause water quality impairment of the City’s water supply
due to flash flooding and erosion. Based on City staff’s evaluation, keeping the road in its current location minimizes future soil disturbance, does not diminish the
protective function of the City-owned parcel, and presents the best option for protecting water supplies. Furthermore, the landowners have agreed to work with the
Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed (CPRW) to conduct restoration targeted at mitigating other erosion issues in the basin.
