Renewal of application for 3.2% Fermented Malt Beverage

no legal basis was found to recommend denial of the renewal of the application.
Councilman Lopez made a motion, seconded by Councilman Preble, to approve the
renewal. Yeas: Councilmen Carson, Lopez and Preble. Nays: None.
K-D Subdivision and Planned Unit Development Plan
Approved
Director of Planning, Donald Reynolds, stated this was a one -lot subdivision,
and that a. 3 foot easement had been grained to the Fort Collins Light and
Power Department on the south property line. He also reviewed the ingress
and egress and stated there was adequate parking.
Councilman Preble made a motion, seconded by Councilman Lopez, to approve
the K-D Subdivision and Planned Unit Development Plan. Yeas: Councilmen
Carson, Lopez and Preble. Nays: None.
Spring Creek Village Subdivision
Approved
Director of Planning Donald Reynolds reviewed the changes made, as indicated
when the plat was conditionally approved on February 8, 1973, as follows:
The developer's engineer has discussed these with the City staff.
The changes on the plan include the following:
1. Having one-way drives through the parking areas (this
should make the entrances to the parking area less
hazardous without two-way traffic)
2. Driveways approach the street at 900 angle, rather than
skewed. This will improve visibility. The home owners
group su-.gcsted that the curbs be constructed with a
square corner to discourage turns. We felt, however,
that this was actually a more hazardous design than the
standard rLdius in that it would force cars farther out
into the street for turns. If turns are to be prohibited,
it should be signed to indicate this.
3. Two curb cuts on Stuart Street were combined into one,.
which is farther away from the school.
In addition, the Traffic Engineer will do the following:
1. Install a stop sign and crosswalk at the intersection of
Welch and -Stuart Streets.
115
2. Prohibit parking on Stuart Street 100 feet west from
Welch.
3. Prohibit daytime parking on Welch (both sides) adjacent
to the school.
The home owners group also recommended wider sidewalks on the east
side of Welch Street. The City recently installed four -foot sidewalks
from the school property north to Prospect Street. These are felt to
be adequate. Along the school,however, there is a narrow sidewalk. I
do not know if the City is in a position to require the Spring Creek
Village developer to widen this sidewalk or not. Perhaps we should
look into this.
City Manager Brunton stated the concerned citizens for Riffenburgh school did
have in hand petitions on February 8, 1973, but they were not submitted at
that time; for the record the petition containing 290 names, was read at
length as follows:
To the City Manager, Members of the City Council, and Members of the
Planning and Zoning Board.
We, as interested citizens of the Riffenburgh School area, recognize the lateness
of -,he hour for this petition, recognize and are fully responsible for our negligence
to act earlier, and recognize the problems that our belated concern can create. But
in consideration for the future growth pattern of Fort Collins, we are compelled to
speak.
We r'eeply regret that a complete, formal presentation of our petition was not pre-
sented to the City Council on February g, 1973. Therefore, we present it to you now.
We are extremely concerned about the maximum use of the high density areas in all of
city, and we are presently most conscious of the area to be developed between Spring
Creed: and Stuart Street, directly in front of Riffenburgh School. In our opinion the
proposed development for this area is suspect and fraught with grave and unfortunate
eventualities. We also feel the future of the adjoining area between Spring Creek
and Prospect, bounded by Welch and Lemay streets, is in question and possible jeopardy.
Cherefore, we desire to enter an appeal for reconsideration of the entire high
density concept for the city with special and immediate attention focused on the
aforementioned areas. We do want it understood that no petitioner objects to
multiple unit housing. The objection lies in the question of density. A large
number of citizens would welcome a firm decision that cou:Ld limit the units per
acre regardless of maximum zoning numbers.
In closing, we beg your indulgence and register our request for reconsideration
of the situation in its entirety. Please understand we are interested in Plans that
compliment the continuity of the local co..nmunity area concept.
The Petitioners of Riffenburgh School area.

March_8_, 19Z3
Mayor Carson inquired whether these citizens had been heard at the Planning
and Zoning meeting and was advised that they had.
The City Manager stated there had been several meetings with these citizens
and that the City would keep them informed, as well as any group of citizens
on other items that might develop in the area.
Councilmen Preble expressed concern for the narrow sidewalk along the school.
City Manager Brunton stated he would be in touch with the school administration
and encourage them to install conventional sidewalk in the area.
Councilman Lopez made a motion, seconded by Councilman Preble, to approve the
Spring Creek Subdivision. Yeas: Councilmen Carson, Lopez and Preble. Nays:
None.
Unit Development Plan for Everitt Enterprises
two-story office building approved
Director of Planning lion Reynolds stated the Unit Development Plan had been
approved conditionally by the Planning and Zoning Board subject to the park-
ing requirements being met. Mr. Reynolds stated off street parking require-
ments, as referred to reflect the zoning changes which were tabled at the March
6th meeting. Therefore, the developers had recuested approval of the Unit
Development Plan, with the understanding that only the first building would be
built at present with the second building to be built at such time as they
were able to meet the off-street parking requirements.
Mayor Carson inquired how many spaces they were deficient and the dumber
given by Mr.. Reynolds was eight.
Councilman Lopez expressed concern that these kinds of parking areas might
result in paid parking lots, putting an additional burden oii city streets.
Councilman Lopez made a motion, seconded by Councilman Preble, to approve the
Unit Development Plan with restrictionsas stipulated. Yeas: Councilmen
Carson, Lopez and Preble. Nays: None.

sequent inspection of gasoline pumps. He further submitted an amendment to

Plant Investment Fees.
Cit.y Manager Brunton called on Mr. Carl Houck to present a brief summary to his letter
oil the PIP Study.
Mr. Houck read the following summary from his letter of February 26, 1973:
fI policy for Reserve Raw Water
1. The City should maintain at all times a reserve supply of available
raw water capable of serving the projected growth for the next suc-
ceeding five years, as a minimum.
2. Acquisition of additional reserves of raw water should be encouraged,
whenever possible, consistent with reasonable utility financing and
operation.
3. The planning. horizon for acquisition and development of future raw
water supplies should be a minimum of 20 years. With growth of the
City, this planning horizon should bc.extended.
The present growth rate for the City's Water Utility is approximately 650
new customers per year. At such a growth rate for the next five years,
the above policy would indicate that the City. should presentl_ have an
sveila;le rsw s:acer reserve to serv:. appro::L7,.ately 3,300 additional customers.
`:u� 1=_-:•ei o� reserve is belo:a the present aonro::imate reserve level of 4,3»
C'15 tO:de:3. :.RO: 12r wac of stating the present reserve is that it provides
ac rc::ir::etei seven years of future growth.
i.:uc=nt for th= City not to cut bac'._ on
raw cr::car, accu4;; cion pro;'. :r,, 'out -o strive to maintain at least tl,e prese:a�
avel .,i reserve until such tuna as this level of reserve will provide for
just five years of growth. Then, it would be essential to increase the
level of raw water reserve, consistent with the five year minimum plan.
in looking at the range of possible PIP schedules between those indicated
for Alternative Nos. 1 and 2 from the PIF study, it should be recognized
that the costs developed were based on specific assumptions for raw water
development (e.g. the Joe Wright Project at $4.8 million), together with
projections for other capital project expenditures. Raw water projects
which may be actually implemented could provide for greater or lesser cost
efficiency in developing raw water supplies. Thus, the cost pictures shown
for these alternatives should be considered to have a range of application
which would be, at best, aparoximate.
The present reserve level, as calculated above, is the ability to serve
4,855 additional customers. This is close to the Alternative No. 1 re-
serve customer level, considering "available for use" raw water, of 5,025.
It would be possible to implement the Alternative No. 1 PIF schedule to be
consistent with the poi""v outlined hereinabove.
ti
March 8, 1973
City Manager Brunton then reviewed the charts and translated the data for the tap
fee for three quarter inch, flat rate water service, which would cost $62S, under
Alternate I; present charge is $330.
Mr. Jan Scarboro, Executive Director of the Contractor's Association, stated the
association will recomment alternate I at their upcoming meeting.
Singuarly, City Manager Brunton translated a single family sewer hookup,under the
new fee, to cost $740; in addition an extra $400 will be added on for each addi-
tional residential living unit; present charge is $36S.
Councilman Preble made a motion, seconded by Councilman Lopez, to authorize the
administration to proceed with the necessary ordinances for implementation of the
increases in the Plant Investment Fees to be on the Council Agenda March 15, 1973.
Ayes: Councilmen Carson, Lopez, and Preble. Nays: None.
Architect approved to design new
swimming pool
City Manager Brunton stated the contracts with the school administration were ready
to go back. Further, four firms had been interviewed, and if Council were to retain
any one of the four, he felt he should be retained, subject to the proper contract,
as relates to the mechanical work and so forth.. Mayor Carson inquired into the
parking situation around Lincoln Junior High and construction problems of the
swimming pool site. The City Manager stated the administration would work with
Don Webber and his staff and that the Attorneys for the City and School were working
out the details.
Councilman Lopez made a motion, seconded by Councilman Preble, to retain the firm of
Charles Ingall and Associates to design the indoor swimming pool. Yeas: Councilmen
Carson, Lopez, and Preble. Nays: None.
Human Relations Commission authorized to
study human resources
City Manager Brunton stated lie had met with the Human Relations Commission and
advised them that with cutbacks in some federal programs "many local agencies have
come to the City for assistance, money or space". Further, City Manager Brunton
stated we are faced with a real need and challenge determining w;iat the City's
role in the social area should be in the 170's. City Manager Brunton felt the
Commission could conduct their study during the next two or three months and report
back before budget time.
Councilman Preble made a motion, seconded by Councilman Lopez, to authorize the
Human Relations Commission to make a study in the Human Relations resources area, with
the help of the Administrati.on,and report back to the Council. Ycas: Councilmen

Mayor Carson responds to editorial
Mayor Karl E. Carson Thursday criticized a Coloradoan editorial, arguing tha,
.
itdistorted facts surrounding the Collindale Golf Course.
"What I'm going to say won't make any difference and probably won't get to the
people," the mayor said in a preface to his statement.
"The way the editorial was presented in my judgment is not only a distortion of
facts but also ignores all the discussion and record of events that have taken
place through the years..."
He said that "there has been no mystery as alluded to" on the financing of the
course, adding -that "the reco'id is open as to how the Collindale Golf Course came
into being and was financed."

The editorial, wbi.-.h appeared '.'Wednesday, said in part that the financing of the
18-hole course ,;as "an enigma shrouded in a mystery."
Carson argued that such an airing did indeed take place, and was outlined in a
December 1971 letter.to the Coloradoan.
"I have a letter... that clearly states all of the facts regarding the golf course,"
he said. "Two questions on the golf course weren't completly resolved. One is the
cumulative debt which we had no way of knowing until we had experience as to
how much it was going tc be. And it was clearly stated that whatever it was it
would be repaid to the general fund with interest. It was also noted that this
would be done at such a time when it was possible to make that determination
(how big the total debt would be).
"The only other point not made clear (by the city) was the unintentional over -
site that the money would be returned to the water find. ((`-^igi;ial documents
called for repayment to the general fund). That was clarified when it was found
the matter wasn't completely clear. "I think it's interesting to note that the
press demands, in fairness to the public, accuracy in our statements. We have no
opportunity for the last word. I feel we deserve the same fairness and accuracy
from the press so the public can become informed accurately and simple...
"This issue (the golf course) has been before us many times. I thought we had
laid it to rest a few weeks ago (when the Council adopted a payback plan on the
$525,000 debt). My hope is that we can go on to other issues that are more
important than haggling over whether a mystery exists on how the golf course came
into being."
