First Reading of Ordinance No. 057, 2005, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent Domain Proceedings of Certain Lands Necessary for the Construction of Public Improvements in Connection with the Dry Creek Drainage Improvements Project - East Vine Diversion Channel. The design portion of the Dry Creek Drainage Improvements Project ("Project") began in 2003. The construction of the Project began in April 2005 with completion scheduled for 2006. The total project involves a combination of sub -projects in the upper, middle and lower basins of Dry Creek with the goal of reducing the likelihood of flooding in Fort Collins and Larimer County. The approval of this ordinance does not automatically result in the filing of a petition in eminent domain; it simply allows staff to use the process if good faith negotiations fail to result in an agreement between the City and affected property owners. Staff is hopeful that all acquisitions will be accomplished by agreement. 15. First Reading of Ordinance No. 058, 2005, Authorizing an Easement for a Pedestrian Bridge for Opera Gardens Lofts.

The developer cannot commence construction until this easement is granted.

The Opera Gardens Lofts project will add two floors to the Opera Galleria. The easement request is to construct an above -grade pedestrian bridge from the 4th floor of the CCPS to one of the new floors of the Opera Galleria.
