ORDINANCE NO. 129, 2009
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING THE CONVEYANCE OF A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION
EASEMENT ON CATHY FROMME PRAIRIE NATURAL AREA TO
LARIMER COUNTY FOR THE FOSSIL CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT
WHEREAS, the City is the owner of a certain parcel of real property located in Larimer
County, Colorado, known as Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area(the "Natural Area"); and
WHEREAS, Larimer County (the "County") is planning to construct the Fossil Creek
Restoration Project (the "Project") to replace a failing channel that Fossil Creek (the "Creek")
currently runs through; and
WHEREAS, the existing channel located on the Larimer County Landfill property (the
"Landfill")is eroding and threatening the integrity of a nearby 12-inch sewer main and the Landfill
liner; and
WHEREAS,to prevent possible future environmental damage should the sewer main or liner
fail, the County has proposed to construct the new channel within an area historically occupied by
the Creek on the Natural Area; and
WHEREAS,to facilitate construction of the Project,the County has asked the City to convey
a temporary construction easement on the Natural Area, as described on Exhibit"A", attached and
incorporated herein by reference (the "TCE"); and
WHEREAS,the County has indicated that the new channel will be designed to blend in with
the existing Natural Area environment and detract little from the open-space setting or function;and
WHEREAS, City staff has reviewed the County's request, and believes that the TCE will
not interfere with or adversely affect the Natural Area, based on current expectations; and
WHEREAS, as a condition of the TCE, the County will be required to repair any damage
to the Natural Area within the easement area and to assume responsibility for any liability to
downstream property owners resulting from the Project; and
WHEREAS,City staff has identified no negative impacts to the City resulting from the grant
of the requested easement or installation of the channel; and
WHEREAS, City staff is recommending that the County not be charged for the easement
because of the ecological benefits to the community of re-routing the Creek; and
WHEREAS,Section 23-111(a)of the City Code provides that the City Council is authorized
to sell, convey, or otherwise dispose of any and all interests in real property owned in the name of
the City,provided that the Council first finds,by ordinance, that such sale or other disposition is in
the best interest of the City.
