as a result of two prior meetings.
Report of the Director of Public Works:
RE: City Initiated Improvement District -East Elizabeth Street
On June 14, 1972, I submitted a memo to the City Council that plans
were being prepared for Street Improvement District No. 65 and that other
than the streets petitioned for,. I was recommending the paving of Fuqua
Drive from Prospect to Lake aad East Elizabeth Street from Stover to
Lemay. I pointed out at that time that the existing paving was not
adequate for the traffic volume that is present.
Based on tais recommendation, the City Engineer designed and pre-
sented to the City Council, for their approval, plans and specifications
calling for a 44 foot width paving on East Elizabeth Street. These plans
were approved at that time and Consolidated Street Improvement District
No. 65 was initiated.
During recent weeks, the need for a 44 foot pavement on East Elizabetn
Street has heea questioned oy tine property owners in tnat area and the
Administration, after a tnorougn study of existing traffic volumes, future
traffic -generating areas and other pertinent data, feel that a four -lane
street would not be justified on tais portion of East Elizabeth. This
section of City street then falls under the criteria of a typical resi-
dential street. The Standard Specifications for a residential street in
new subdivisions, as adopted by the City Council, calls for a 40 foot
pavement width. On the east side of Stover and Elizabeth Street intersec-
tion the curb radius is installed at 40 feet. There exists curbs on
this street whic❑ are 36 1/2 feet apart.
We have met with the property owners in the area and they feel that
the street should not be reconstructed to a width wider than that of
existing curus.
East Elizabeth Street, due to traffic volumes, maintenance problems
and safety cons id erat ions, does need to be paved and I recommend that an
Improvement District be formed to pave it at whatever width the City
Council determines.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles Liquin
Director of Publit Works
Memo from Traffic Engineer:
MINIMUM DESIRABLE STREET WIDTES
1rom the standpoint of the Traffic Engineering Division the 00h of Qrcets
are of treat importance in the safe and expaditious movement of traffic.
following information taken from the Traffic Engineers Handbood is subwittcd
to substantiate the need for adiquite space between curbs. This information
has been compiled from extensive studies throughout the country by the Institute
of Traffic Engineers and sets forth the criteria for desirable design o,
streets and highways.
It has been established that the average motors t will not travel clo5cr
than 2.5 feet from fixed objects on the right and will require the samo T,w the
left side for approaching vehicles. This is the minimum space, however the
desirable space is 6 feet. The width of the average vehicle is 6 feet and
the width of trucks is 8 feet. If the minimum space traveled is added to
vehicles then the lane should be 11.5 feet and the space for trucks would
be 13 feet. Therefore it is desirable to have 12 foot lanes for one direction
Of traffic.
Now take into consideration parallel parking, here again the space TG-c
vehicles would have to be 8 feet for parking and 10 feet for trucks, hoxcv;;:
in most. instances 8 feet for parallel parking is the alocated s ace. Tho rcvbonin,;
being that trucks will not be parking in residential areas for periods oth„r
than those for loading and deliveries.
If the totals of the spaces mentioned above are calculated for. a ,.v&;
with two directions of traffic and la.rall.el parking on both sides in a rnr]Q ntic..
ne:iGhborhocd the width from curb to curb will be a minimum of 40 feet, if a
lesser width is available there parking woud have to be remov d on'one side or
both rides depending on the space from curb to curb.
It is my experiance that when a street has had the parking elimi pw& on
one or both :;ides the speed of :,lie vohiclvs will increase due to the !Let V"'L
the fixed objects on the right of the m terc3t are gone ana he has a 3zun O:
Giant distance. With this increased sight distanco comes a greater pr l:La-fL.0 :LC
s1ced than is posted. If a RADAR speed study is then made and the 85 percunt:ile
speed in ;-seater than the posted speed there are two altcroaLivzs. Ono hair,,;
extensive law enforcement of the posted speed or two raise the speed liiai 4,
to the 85 pc:rccnl:i..l.c r1mcd. or that 5 mils per hour incrumc',it closcst to t:,;_
85 perccntilo level. Also in arean where the parking has been :removud
One n:lde ani 'the residents and. their Cu,!st: use the onztreot slacu n, It incuroacs
jaywalking which creates another problem and hazard not only to the pedowirian
but to the moto-rest traveling that street.
Therefore in residential areas if parking is allowed on both sides of the
street it will tend to hold the speed of the motorest at a more reasonable
level.

7. COMMUNICATION
Dear Mrs. Preble and Gentlemen:
The Water Board of the City of Fort Collins
observes that within the past year and more, the City has
acquired considerable raw water resources; and that studies
have been made and will be made concerning various addi-
tional acquisitions and capital improvements.
The Water Board feels that a period of analysis of
the options available to the City in the areas of acquisition
and development is necessary in order that we may conceive
an over-all plan insuring a full and adequate water supply at
the most reasonable cost.
I am accordingly instructed by the Board to recom-
mend to the Council that, for the time being, and pending
further recommendation by the Board, the City desist from its
present and heretofore desirable policy of active solicitation
of purchase of raw water; and, further, that the City refrain
from large scale expenditures for this purpose, save for such
specific purchases or acquisitions as the Board may from time
to time recommend. Capital improvement commitments should
likewise be delayed.
Respectfully submitted,
Ward/H. Fischer, President
FORT COLLINS WATER BOARD
Motion was made by Councilman Fead to receive the recommendation from the Water Board and
adopt the policy as recommended. This was seconded by Councilman Peterson. The motion
carried.
COMMUNICATION
Gentlemen and Madam:
As you know, Ward Fischer and I have previously been authorized by
the City to conduct a study relating to the acquisition of water resources
by the City and means of using such water resources. Most of the study
has now been completed and a considerable amount of work has been done
toward implementing the general plan which resulted from the study. We
are now almost in a position to prepare and submit our final report as the
result of this work, which it is hoped will be a guide to the City in con-
nection with the future development of the City's water resources. It is
anticipated that this report will include all aspects of the study and will
set forth priorities for the development of the City's water resources.
Initially, the study did not contemplate that we would have any
involvement with the Windy Gap Project, nor did we anticipate that we would
be concerned with the possibilities of a reservoir at Poverty Flats on the
Rockwell Ranch. As we have begun to compile the data for the final report,
it has become apparent to us that it will be very difficult to set forth
priorities without at least a cursory examination into these two areas. It
is impossible to fix priorities with regard to other potential water pro-
jects without some investigation into the potential from the Windy Gap Pro-
ject and, therefore, we request that we be authorized to investigate, with
regard to this project, in order to determine the possible yield from the
same and the estimated cost of the water to be developed. IVe would contem-
plate that this investigation would only involve our consulting.with the
July 27, 1972
engineers and other who have been involved in the study of this project and
obtaining the necessary information from them to make an evaluation of the
project.
It also appears that priorities with regard to water matters should
not be established without at least considering the proposed Poverty Flats
Reservoir. The City has acquired a one-half interest in the Rockwell Ranch
and has for many years contemplated the construction of a reservoir at_this
location on the Little South. We have entered an appearance in other actions
relating to appropriation dates on the Poudre River in order to protect
the possible priorities which might be obtained by the City in connection
with this proposed reservoir. It appears that it is extremely desirable
at this time to look into this matter for the purpose of determinng whether
there is any substantial chance that this reservoir will ever be constructed
and, if not, some investigation should be made to see whether it is possible
to transfer the preferred position the City may have for this location
to the Joe Wright location or some other possible point. Again, it is not
anticipated that this would be an extensive investigation and most of the
data that would have to be analyzed should be already available to us.
If the City Council authorizes this additional work, we would anticipate
that our services would be billed at the same rate for which we are billing
other matters in connection with this study.
Respectfully submitted,
A. . March,Jr.
