the City of Fort Collins for many years. This 4.5 mile section of road is developing into an
urban arterial. CDOT made proposals for transfer of ownership of Harmony Road in the
past, but the City resisted because of the additional costs involved.
In the most recent discussions CDOT offered funds in a one-time payment to the City to fund
upgrades and offset the cost of maintenance cost over the next 20 years. CDOT and the
City's Transportation staff worked together to develop estimates for the 20 year
maintenance. CDOT will retain maintenance responsibility for the portion of Highway 68
between the west frontage road and I-25, including the frontage road intersection. The City
will accept responsibility for the portion west of the frontage road. CDOT is offering a one-
time payment of S 13,700,000 to the City to take ownership on this section of Harmony Road.
There is some urgency to this matter because part of these funds need to be committed by
CDOT within its current fiscal year (before July 31, 2005).
23. Resolution 2005-061 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings
for the Crawford Annexation.
This item was considered by Council on April 19, 2005, and was postponed to this date to
allow staff to determine the ownership of a 30-foot strip of land included in the annexation.
The Crawford Annexation has been revised to remove the westerly 30-foot strip. This 30-
foot strip was Quit Claimed in 1902 to another party for access purposes and is not owned
by the petitioner. The parcel has been reduced in size and now consists of 29.56 acres. Also
it has come to light that the original petition for annexation was signed by the wrong entity,
having been signed by Mr. Willox as an individual rather than by the true owner, which is
a limited liability company of which he is the manager. Therefore, it is necessary to re-
initiate this annexation.
The site is located approximately one-half mile west of North College Avenue on the south
side of Willox Lane. Contiguity with the existing municipal boundary is gained along the
eastern boundary which is shared with the west property line of the Hickory Village Mobile
Home Park. Contiguity is also gained along a portion of the southern boundary which is
shared with the north property line of the City of Fort Collins Soft Gold Park. The
recommended zoning is U-E, Urban Estate. This zoning complies with the Structure Plan
Map.
24. Resolution 2005-062 Authorizine the Ci1y to Enler into a Change Order with Felsburg Holt
& Ullevig to Amend an Existing Agreement to Include the Design of the Mason
Transportation Corridor Trail Project North from the Spring Creek Trail to Connect with the
Colorado State University Campus as an Exception to the Competitive Process over

This Resolution will authorize the City Manager to amend the existing agreement, by change
order, with the consulting firm of Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (FHU), which designed the
southern portion of the trail, to include the design for the Mason Transportation Corridor
(MTC) Trail project north from the Spring Creek Trail through the CSU campus. In the
future, the City will continue to pursue additional grant funding to cover the construction
costs for this segment of the MTC Trail. This extension of the MTC Trail northward from
