Members of the City Council
Fort Collins, Colorado
Gentlemen:
The continuous plea, by concerned citizens, to stop the dumping of raw sewage into the
Sanitary Dump on Willow Street have been made, in the past to City Council. The false
promises and repeated postponement of the problem can no longer to tolerated. We are very
much disturbed by your complacency and footdragging in this'matter, and therefore request
451
and strongly urge that the above mentioned problem merit your utmost considerations and that
the dumping of saw sewage into the Sanitary Dump be stopped immediately. We also recommend
that the City Council arrange an open forum meeting with Larimer County officials and that
said meeting be open to the public so that the problem of dumping raw sewage can be resolved.

Mr. Don Lucero was presented and stated it was regretful that this was not closed
long ago without pressure, that it'is unfortunate that you look at usN'as enemies, that we are
just as interested in the welfare of Fort Collins as anyone. He stated that we have just
been getting the goaround, that there has been a definite health hazard in this dumping.
He said we have to have mutual consideration and trust which we do not have, that we all want
tb prevent an more sick children.
Mayor Carson stated he agreed with Mr. Lucero, that we do all want the same things.
That the City has to rely on experts to inform us on the conditions, that the Council is not
going to set back and let conditions go,unattended.

The Assistant City Attorney stated that in September a resolution was passed for
acquisition for negotiations of substation, condemnation action was set and asked Mr. Case
if we should acquire all the land that we were to acquire. Stan Case, Director of Utilities,
spoke at length and presented an outline of the purpose of the hearing. He distributed
copies to members of the Council of the long range plan of the Light and Power Department for
referal. A Court Recorder was present recording this discussion. The parcel of land near
the intersection of East Prospect Street and*County Road 53 is the site chosen for a 230/115
KV switchyard and substation. Mr. Case stated that only about 6 1/2 acres will.be needed
for the switchyard and substation facility, there is need for flexibility in constructing
the facility and then in Maintaining and expanding it. He stated the land has been appraised
at $2,312.00 an acre or $68,800 for the 29.758 acre tract, that we have looked at everything
that will go into.it and need room to modify as we go along. That we will move loads we1T
over 100 tons, 70 feet long and 15 feet wide, which will necessitate building roads to accom-
modate these load s. He stated it is planned to build a concrete buffer on Spring Creek in the
probability of flooding. He stated they need to know we have the site and can develop it,
that we need the entire plot for development. He stated they hoped to design a compact
facility to i nclude aesthetics and landscaping, that it should be of sufficient size to
accommodate the required equipment for the next 20 years. asked

Case questions concerning the amount of ground he actually needed, stating that the amount
they were asking for was for more tha3i the needs of the City.

5 cities in the Platt Power Association. Mr. Case stated that this will be main`
for the needs of the City of Fort Collins, that there will be some delivery to REA and Publ;
Service but their needs are very small. After considerable discussion, the following

he was going to do it. That a study made of the different areas, that there would be some
ramifications. Mayor Carson asked if the Planning and Zoning have a reason for appointing
Mr. Magerfleisch. He stated that we need a plan and take a stand that we want better planning
on South College Avenue. Councilman Troxell stated that in addition to the point .aiked, if
we are going to take such expedious action, we should not limit it to South College but also
to North College, that we accept the report of the Planning and Zoning Board , not take any
specific action but refer it to the Administration. The City Manager stated that if we can
do this successfully, should not limit this to South College, that this concept should be
looked at �Y -an architect but would like a little time.to study and talk more to Mr.
Magerfleisch. Mayor Carson stated he thought the concept of South College should be a
starting point, such as landscaping, etc. The City Manager expressed his opinion that they
should limit it to a local architect. Me tion was made by Councilman Troxell, seconded by

TQm Coffey
City Manager
P. 0. Box 580
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Coffey,
This letter is a request that Remington Street, from Spring Park Drive to Dartmouth
Avenue, be opened and allow access to land that I intend to develop for a 36 unit apartment.
I intend to begin work during the month of January, 1971, and would appreciate it if I
could have use of this dedicated street by that time.
I am sure that without the use of Remington Street; both during construction, and,
thereafter; that we will create a real traffic problem on Mathews Street to the east of my
apartment project.
I thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
/s/ Paul F. Harder
