At the time of the hearing on First Reading of the annexation ordinance some persons
affected by the annexation expressed their concerns about provisions in the animal code of
the City which limits the number of horses that a person may keep. In response to that
concern, a new Section 5 has been added to the annexation ordinance to permit a person to
keep the same number of horses on a parcel of property as were kept there as of the effective
date of the annexation.
9. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 035. 2003, Authorizing. the Grant of a Non-exclusive
Utility Easement to Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association Across City -owned Prol&rt�
at the Western Boundary of Taft Canyon P.U.D.
This easement is located on a tract of land along the western boundary of Taft Canyon P.U.D.
that was deeded to the City in 1987 for a trail. The current plan for this area is for the trail
to be on the property adjoining to the west and then possibly cross over this property to cross
County Road 38-E, but the easement will not be on the trail property. City property is
located at the westernmost boundary of Taft Canyon and is outside city limits. Due to
growth in the area, existing meters for Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association ("REA") are
over -extended. To avoid continual problems, including brown -outs, REA proposed that an
electrical cable in 6"conduit be installed in the utility easement areas of adjacent properties.
To complete this installation, REA requested to cross City property (underground) in two
areas. Ordinance No. 035, 2003, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 4,
2003, granting a non-exclusive easement requested by REA.
The agenda item summary for first reading of Ordinance No. 35 erroneously stated that the
easement property is outside of the city limits. The property is within the city. However,
because the property does not constitute a "public place" for the purpose of City Code
Section 26-411, no franchise is required for the placement of the proposed electric lines.
10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 036, 2003, Amending the Land Use Code by Adding
Grocery Stores as a Permitted Use in the Commercial Zone District and Amending the
Definitions of the Terms "Grocery Store" and "Supermarket".
This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 4, 2003, makes
three text amendments to the Land Use of Code for the following sections:
Section 4.17(13)(3)(b) to include "Grocery Stores" as a permitted use in C,
Commercial zone district;
2. Section 5.1.2 to change the definition of "Grocery Store" by increasing the
maximum allowable size from 25,000 to 45,000 square feet;
3. Section 5.1.2 to change the definition of "Supermarket" by increasing the minimum
required size from 25,001 square feet to 45,001 square feet.
