FortCollins
i�f
(6) Note No. 5 — Is this necessary? The City owns the property and you can't have
easements in your own property, so there couldn't possibly be any City -owned easements to
vacate by this plat.
Plat Sheet 2:
Comcast utility easement — I don't think this an existing easement; I'm guessing it is really just
showing the location of the service line for this building. The City can't create an easement for
Comcast by just putting it on a plat. However, an easement isn't necessary if this is going to be
just the service line for this building. If it is important to indicate somehow where the cable
connection will be that's fine, but I think in that case it should be labeled as something other than
a "Utility Easement."
Plat Sheet 3:
Second -to -last paragraph before the Owner's signature — in first line, please change "he/she" to
"it". Change last sentence to read, "Owner further warrants that it has the right to convey said
land according to this Plat."
Site Plan Sheet No. SDI. I
Since there isn't really a "we" here, please change Ownership Certification to read:
"The undersigned hereby certifies that the City of Fort Collins is the lawful owner of real
property described on this site plan and does hereby certify that the City of Fort Collins accepts
the conditions and restrictions set forth on said site plan."

Thank you for providing me with the revised plans for comment. I reviewed the Plat and Site
Plan from the point of view of attorney for owner, and the following are my requested changes.
plan to attend the staff review meeting 7/28 at 8:30, if we need to discuss further.
Plat Sheet 1:
(1) Certificate of Dedication — change "dedicate and convey" to "give notice"; change
"forever" to "of'.
(2) Attorney's Certification — in first line change 2.2.3(C)(3)(a) to 2.2.3(C)(3)(b);
second -to -last line, add a comma after "inquiry"; at end of sentence before period add "and by
Ordinance No. 088, 2010 of the Council of the City of Fort Collins."
(3) Notice — in second line change "utility alignments" to "utility improvements"; in last
line, change "within certain" to "within which certain".
(4) Parks and Recreation signature block — per a conversation I had with Marc Virata, I
understand there is a desire to have Parks sign off on the design drawings because of what are
essentially offsite improvements being constructed on Park property. But there is no legal reason
to also have them sign the plat. If someone thinks it is a good idea or just wants Parks to sign the
plat that is OK with me, but I don't think it is necessary.
If Parks IS going to sign it, there isn't a City department called "Parks and Recreation," and
don't think the Recreation Division would have any interest in this anyway. Shouldn't it just be
"Parks Department" or "Park Planning"9
(5) Comcast signature block — Not sure why this is set up for Comcast signature — I don't
see anything on the plat indicating they have an existing interest in the property. Perhaps
someone can explain this at the review meeting.
