CONSENT CALENDAR
7. Posiponement of Second Reading of Ordinance No. 199, 1999, Authorizing the Lease of
Portions of the Resource Recovery Farm to LaFarge Corporation for Sand and Gravel Mining
in Order to Protect Sensitive Natural Habitats Along the Cache la Poudre River, to March 7
2000.
Ordinance No. 199, 1999, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on December
7, 1999, enables implementation of a unique natural area conservation project involving the
City of Fort Collins, LaFarge Corporation, Flatiron Companies, and Colorado State
University. The collaborative project will save from sand and gravel mining approximately
40 acres of meadow and mature riparian forest along the Cache la Poudre River that
represents some of the most unique and valuable wildlife habitat in the Fort Collins area. In
exchange for not mining these sensitive natural habitats, approximately 106 acres of much
less sensitive agricultural land on the City's Resource Recovery Farm will instead be mined.
Reclamation of the mined area on the Resource Recovery Farm will enhance the wildlife
habitat diversity and overall value of the natural areas along this reach of the Cache la Poudre
River. This area will enhance the City's efforts to protect and enhance the wildlife habitat,
aesthetic, and recreational values of this section of the Poudre River consistent with the City's
Natural Areas Policies and will also enhance programs at CSU's Environmental Learning
Center.
Second Reading of this Ordinance was postponed to February 15, 2000 to allow additional
time to fmalize the necessary lease and contractual documents with LaFarge, Flatiron, and
Colorado State University. Another postponement is needed until March 7, 2000.
