First Reading of Ordinance No. 064, 2002, Designating the Historic First Baptist Church, 328 Remington Street as a Historic Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City Code. The current owner of the property, North Pointe Community Church, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the First Baptist Church. The historic First Baptist Church, the two-story rough -faced sandstone building on the northeast comer of Magnolia and Remington Streets, displays a combination of elements from Gothic Revival and Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. These elements include the beautiful stained glass windows with tracery, the only "rose" window in town, pointed arched Gothic windows, crenellated parapets called battlements, massive towers, buttressed walls, and a steeply pitched roof. The integration of the two distinct styles in the First Baptist Church provides Fort Collins with a building of unique architectural design. Designated a contributing building in the Laurel School National Register Historic District in 1980, it is one ofthe most prominent buildings in that district. 18. First Reading ofOrdinance No. 065, 2002, Authorizing the Grant of a Non -Exclusive Easement to Platte River Power Authority for the Relocation of a Water Line. The City of Fort Collins Utilities' project consists of constructing a new earthen settling basin to collect water sludge. Water sludge will be released into the basin as a result of routine cleaning of the flocculation and sedimentation treatment trains. The construction of this basin is required by the City's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The City of Fort Collins Utilities has proposed to grant a non-exclusive easement to Platte River Power Authority to accommodate the relocation of the Utilities' 10-inch raw water line that is located beneath the new settling basin. The new water pipeline will be located east and south of the location of the existing pipeline. Once this easement is granted to Platte River Power Authority, PRPA will vacate the previous easement granted by the City for this water pipeline. The existing water pipeline must be moved by the end of May 2002. 19. Resolution 2002-034 Approving Expenditures from the Art in Public Places Reserve Account in the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund to Commission an Artist to Create Two Artistic Elements "The Ripple Cove" and "The Time Pods". at Fossil Creek Community Park. This Resolution would approve the expenditure of $74,591 for design, fabrication, installation and contingency for this project. Andy Dufford and his team from Artscapes LLC., will create two site -specific artworks. "Ripple Cove," a sitting space/amphitheater carved into the water's edge in the grassy area on the eastern shore of the lake and "Time Pods" which are carved limestone sculptures that are located in the "Time Walk" area of the park. PAGE 5 14. First Reading of Ordinance No. 061, 2002, Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to Enter into an Agreement for the Financing by Lease -Purchase of Vehicles and Equipment. This Ordinance will authorize the Purchasing Agent to enter into a lease -purchase financing agreement with Koch Financial Corporation at 5.05% interest rate. The agreement shall be for an original term from the execution date of the agreement to the end of the current fiscal year. The agreement shall provide for renewable one-year terms thereafter, to a total term of five (5) years, subject to annual appropriation of funds needed for lease payments. The total lease terms, including the original and all renewal terms, will not exceed the useful life of the property. This lease -purchase financing is consistent with the financial policies of the City of Fort Collins. 15. First Reading of Ordinance No. 062, 2002, Amending Chapter 23, Article X of the Ci1y Code Re ag rding Parks. Trails and Recreation Areas. With the expansion of City Park and Recreation lands into the Poudre Canyon, the Parks and Recreation Departrrrent wishes to be able to apply the provisions ofthe City Traffic Code on lands owned by the City but located outside of the City limits. In particular, the Parks and Recreation Department wants to be able to ticket vehicles that do not display a day use parking permit in parks such as Gateway where such permits will be required. The current Code provisions pertaining to recreation areas are specifically applicable to City parks and recreation areas located inside the City limits. Incorporating the Traffic Code by reference into the recreation areas provisions of the Code will make the Traffic Code applicable to parks and recreation areas outside of the City limits in the same way that other provisions of the Code, including those dealing with animal control, fire prevention and miscellaneous offenses, are already incorporated in the recreation area provisions. As a result, special officers, commissioned by the City of Fort Collins Police Department, will be able to ticket individual vehicles whose drivers fail to purchase day use parking passes as required, using the existing parking provisions of the Traffic Code. Currently the City Traffic Code is not specifically enforceable outside of the City limits. Chapter 23 of the Code also contains a typographical error that will be corrected by this ordinance. 16. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 063, 2002, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for that Certain Property Known as the 1040 East Elizabeth Rezoning. In the mid- 1980's the City Council adopted the East Side Neighborhood Plan as an element ofthe City's Comprehensive Plan. In September 1991, the City Council rezoned the subject property from the R-H, High Density Residential, District to the N-C-B, Neighborhood Conservation Buffer, Districtas part ofthe land use implementation actions for the East Side Neighborhood Plan. In March of 1997, the City Council approved a comprehensive rezoning of areas in the city as part ofthe implementation actions for City Plan. Unfortunately, when the City Plan rezonings were done the subject property was mistakenly rezoned from the N-C-B to the N-C-L, Neighborhood Conservation Low Density, District. This rezoning request will correct the mistake made by the PAGE 2 The Consent Calendar consists of Item Numbers 7 through 25.

CONSENT CALENDAR 7. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2002. Authorizing a Grant Agreement with Colorado State Parks and Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Conservation Trust Fund Trail Acquisition and Development Project. The Poudre Trail presently ends at Taft Hill Road. The Laporte Trail connection will start on the west side of Taft Hill Road where the trail will follow the abandoned rail line north and west for about 3/4 of a mile. At this point, the trail will enter the Hyde Natural Area. The trail right-of-way along the rail line will be nearly 100-feet in width and will allow for the trail to meander and provides room for landscaping. The La Porte Trail connection was presented to the Natural Resource Advisory Board at its April 3, 2002 meeting. Park Planning and Development staff will attempt to obtain additional right-of- way for the trail from the landowner just west of the Hyde Natural Area. If successful, this would allow the trail to be located with a greater buffer from the Poudre River than the existing trail easement allows. This adjustment would reduce the impact of the trail on the River. Staff will complete these negotiations before construction starts on the trail in late 2002, early 2003. Park Planning and Development staff will continue to involve and seek input from the Parks and Recreation and Natural Resource Advisory Boards on the trail placement. The Colorado State Trail grant has a completion date of December 31, 2003. AGENDA OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO April 16, 2002 Proclamations and Presentations 5:30 p.m A.
