The Landmark Preservation Commission and staff believe that the "costs" outweigh the "benefits" of continuing to assume the review authority. The reviewing entity function will be performed by the Colorado Historical Society staff for the 2001 calendar year and the program will still be available to Fort Collins citizens. 23. Resolution 2001-164 Authorizing the Lease to Mary Michie Udall of City -owned Property Donated by the Estate of Robert H. Udall. On July 17, 2001, the City Council approved Resolution 2001-95 authorizing the acceptance of a donation from the estate of Robert H. Udall of 20.133 acres of land, including improvements, and a cash donation of $125,000 for ongoing site maintenance. The donation also reserved a life estate in part or all of the property for his widow, Mary Michie Udall. This is the second donation from the Udall family. In 1996, Mr. Udall donated approximately 41 acres of land just west of this site. Both tracts are located on the south end of Claymore Lake at the west end of Michaud Lane and northeast of the Reservoir Ridge Natural Area. Both areas have been donated to be used as a natural area/nature center. Mrs. Udall has decided not to retain a life estate. Her decision is based on her desire to have Natural Resources commence using this property as a natural area/nature center as soon as possible. However, Mrs. Udall does want to utilize the property until September 30, 2002. The closing for this donation is scheduled for December 20. Staff is recommending the City Council approve a lease to Mrs. Udall for the period of December 21, 2001 through September 30, 2002. Because this lease will replace a life estate interest to which Mrs. Udall is entitled, staff is recommending that there be no charge for this lease. 24.
