OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AMENDING SECTION 99-6 OF THE CODE
OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS REGARDING
IMPROVEMENTS TO OFF-SITE STREETS
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS that Chapter
99, Section 6, Subsection B(6) of the Code of the City of Fort Collins be
repealed and reenacted as follows:
§99-6. Improvements.
B. (6) Streets and alleys. All subdivisions must have
access to an improved arterial street or to a
street funded for improvement as an arterial
street. Any subdivision which does not have
adequate access to an improved arterial street
or an arterial street funded is required to
improve the impacted off-site streets as
determined by the City to include, as a minimum,
� a thirty-six-foot-wide paved section on an
adequate base for the ultimate design of the
street as designated on the Master Street Plan
or as determined by the City Engineer. A waiver
to these requirements may be granted by the City
Engineer when, in his determination, the exist-
ing arterial is in substantial compliance with
the criteria for arterial streets , When any
person constructs a street, alley or path
through undeveloped areas to serve his property
or constructs such improvements along the
perimeter of his property, the entire cost of
such construction shall be the responsibility
of such person. If this developer has furnished
the City Engineer with an approved itemized list
of the construction costs and has entered into
an agreement for repayment with the city within
ninety (90) days of the completion and accept-
ance by the city of such improvements, then at
the time the property abutting such improvements
is developed and access to such improvements
is accomplished, the city may collect a charge
per front foot from the abutting property
developer and, if so collected, shall reimburse
the original installer to the extent of such
collection after making any necessary adjust-
ments. The amount of the reimbursement paid
to the city may be the original cost of the
improvements plus any mutually agreed upon
amount to reflect the effects of inflation, if
any, but in no case shall the reimbursement be
less than the original cost. These adjustments
may be based on the Construction Cost Index for
Denver, Colorado, as published monthly by
Engineering News Record. Streets and alleys
shall be completed as required by the City
Engineer and all payments fully made for exist-
ing beneficial streets before the reimbursement
to the original installer is made pursuant
to provisions as contained herein. Any right to
reimbursement pursuant to this provision shall
not exceed a period of ten ( 10) years from the
execution of the agreement. The City Council
may approve extensions of the agreement for
additional ten-year periods.
Introduced, considered favorably on first reading, and ordered pub-
lished this 15th day of January , A.D. 1985, and to be presented for final
passage on the 5th day of February A.D. 1985.
