Stanley R. Case
Acting City Manager Re: °torm Drainage Study vicinity
Shields and Elizabeth.
The above study has been made by our office and is herewith submitted for your
consideration.
DRAINAGE AREA
There are; about 106 acres of gnund which contribute surface runoff to the inter-
section of Shields and Elizabeth, Almost all of the drainage area exists West of Shields
with the western boundary being the Larimer No. 2 Ditch. Drainage is received within these
East and West boundaries from as far North as Birch Street. Although a small ridge exists
on Shields approximately 600 feet South of Lake Street. The total area being drained at
this point is about 178 acres. About 80% of the area contributing to the runoff is within
the City Limits.
EXISTING STORM SEWERS
There are only two sections of storm sewer existing within the drainage area. A
small 12" drain (an old converted irrigation line) extends East on Plum from Bluebell to
Shields and South on Shields approximately 150 feet where it is discharged onto the sur-
face of Colorado State University property on the East side of Shields. A 24" storm sewer
has also been constructed along Elizabeth between City Park and &hields. This line, which
serves t he Campus West Shopping Center on both sides of Elizabeth, the
private club and swimming pool and will serve the extensive apartment house development
being planned by Bartran Homes, also discharges or the

ty
property
Shields
ve
on the East side of Shields. As stated earlier, rY
discharges storm water onto Shields. This area, for the most part, is University land and
is served by an existing storm drainage system of the school.
PROPOSALS
Two storm sewer systems could be constructed which would solve the drainage
problem at the intersection.
Line A. The logical receiving drainage course for the storm accumulation in this
area is Spring -`reek. There are two routes by which the storm water could be carried to
the Spring Creek channel. The most direct, and based on the preliminary studies that have
been made by the Department, the most desirableie,ihat we have labeled
e"Line A".eet iThis c
would consist of a straight line connection, s Ifromtiz
tion to Spring Creek. The total distance would be approximately 4,5feet.
There are two significant problems that have to be considered in the construction
of a storm sewer along this route. First, there is only about 7.5 feet difference Cveeke
elevations of the flow lines of the storm sewer in Elizabeth at Shields and Spring at Shields. In a distance of 4,500 feet this amounts to a fall of about 1-213 feet per
1,900 feet ... a very flat slope. At this grade an unreasonably large sizecpipe would be
required in order to carry Spring

sideration to the proposition of constructing a lift station and raising the storm water
toward the ridge between Lake and Prospect. Two arrangements are possible. One would

latter is preferable for at least two reasons ... it would be an estimated $14,000.00 less
expensive because excavations would not be as deep, grades would improve and the size of
the gravity line could be decreased. Second, it would be eader to obtain ground to con-
struct a lift station near Elizabeth Street than it would in the vicinity of Lake and
Prospect. The one big disadvantage to this alternative would be the fact thatTcollection
lines could not be discharged directly into the 1,800 feet of pressure line.

arrangement would cost an estimated $115,071.81 ... the second, $101,056.25.

both advantages and disadvantages to such an arrangement. The construction would be con-
siderably cheaper than line "A" because it could not involve any pumping. It would follow
323
closely the contour of the ground, making a v ery desirable grade, thereby permitting us to
hold the pipe size to a minimum. It would, however, require that very careful conaidera-
tion be given to the available ditch capacity. A detailed investigation has not been made,
but random checks along the ditch indicate that by discharging the storm sewer into the
ditch, as we are proposing, we will, in places, exceed the capacity of it by as much as
50%. While the University plans to make some improvements, as indicated on the attached
exhibit, additional improvements would have to be incorporated into the project in order to
avoid serious flooding at cart a.iin points ... most notable of which would be at the inter-
section of the ditch and Lake Street. We have not, as stated, made a detailed investigatioi
of the improvements that would be required in the ditch. We will do so if you desire. It
has been the feeling of the department that incorporation of the ditch into a solution of
the problem, should be avoided if at all .possible. The estimated cost of making this con-
struction (not counting improvements to t he ditch) would be $il,333.75-
FINANCING
The most feasible method of financing the improvement would be the establishment
of an improvement district composed of the 'benefited properties. Generally those propertie:
would be the ones included within the two shaded area s labeled "General Drainage "rea" and
"Drainage along Route to Outlets" on the attached exhibits. Before an absolute "property
owner cost" can be derived it is necessary that a decision be reached regarding the exact
oonstruction that is to be made; a more detailed plan and estimate prepared on the basis
Of it; and a careful delineation be made of the exact area being benefited. On the basis
Of preliminary work to date, we would estimate that if the alternate of Line "A" were con-
structed the assessment to the area shown on the exhibit as contributing runoff would be
around $0.02 per square foot.
SUMMARY
The construction of a storm sewer system to serve his area is of vital importance
We cannot continue to permit development in this section of our City to discharge storm wa-
ter onto the surface of the University property. C.S.0 is presently constructing a fieldhoi
and associated parking area which preclude our continuing the present arrangement. Shields
Street is an arterial street andvery important in the traffic circulation pattern of the
City ... it's importance will be increased with the completion of the new University fac-
ility. Widening and improvement of the street is of top priority, but before this can be
done the drainage problem must be solved. The general area is developing rapidly, and as
bas as the siituation is now it is going to become much worse with the completion of con-
struction in the area that has already started.
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Engineering Department be directed to proceed with the formulation of
a storm sewer improvement district in this area. That the improvement provide for the con-
struction of the storm sewer according to Alternate Line "A". That a detailed study be
made of the exact area benefited and that having established these things the various pro-
perty owners be approached in the matter in an attempt to obtain the names of if of the
owners to be assessed on a petition for the improvement as required by Section 15-55, of the
City ordinance.

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY
Mr. Harvey Johnso
Mayor
City of Fort Collins
Fort Collins, Colorado
July 8, 1965
SUBJECT: Storm Sewer to Serve Area West of Shields Street from the CSU Campus
Dear Mr. Johnson:
This letter is to bring to the further attention of the City Council a'problem
that has been discussed for a considerable time in regard to adequate storm sewer facilities
for the city area immediately west of the campus from Shields Street.
As you may be aware, discussions have been underway for several years in regard
to the need for an adequate storm sewer facility to serve the area west of Shields Street
to avoid the runoff from this area passing over onto the University and thereby causing flop
ing of the campus. During the heavy rain of June 17, 1965, the observation of the flow of
water during the course of the heavy rain indicated beyond question that good deal of the su
Sequent damage incurred on the campus wqs due to the runoff coming from the city area locat-
ed west of Shields Street. This runoff crossed the street onto the campus, thereby over-
loading the facilities on the campus beyond their capacity.
It is my understanding that before t he flood Mr. Harry Hepting, Director of CSU
Physical Plant, and Mr. Adam Fisher, City Engineer, had been discussing the need for such
a storm sewer. The discussions involving Mr. Hepting were due partly to the fact that it is
anticipated such a storm sewer will serve in a limited way certain area of the campus. This
direct benefit of such a storm sewer justifies CSU providing part of the financing for this
storm sewer. In order to help expedite installation of this sewer CSU is requesting of the
coming session of the legislature some $22,000 as its share of the cost of the installation.
If we can provide any further information which would help in expediting installa-
tion of this storm sewer for the mutual benefit of Colorado State University and the City of
Fort Collins, please let me know.

Sincerely yours,
/s/ A. R. Chamberlain

'SUBJECT: #47-85 The 'Jest Prospect Second Annexation, containing 61.17 acres
This request was presented to the Board on July 6, 1965, and following discussion
two motions were passed.
Anne -on
It is recommended for City Council to act favorably on the petition. Dedications to the
City of an additional twenty feet along Prospect Road and Overland Trail and a 60, connect-
ing street (Cypress) between Prospect and Lake Street extended are needed and should be a
condition of this annexation. The last mentioned street dedication would connect directly
to the new elementary school site on Prospect and be another link in a needed through street
between Prospect Road and West Elizabeth Street. Water rights should be transferred at this
time also.
Zoning
A recommendation is made to zone both sides of Cypress extended as "B" Residential and both
sides of Banyan extended as "A" Residential. The three tracts at the southeast corner of
Overland Trail and Prospect Road are recommended for D Commercial and C Residential as
requested and the remainder' of the annexation should be "A" Residential.

The following report was presented and read at length:
July 7, 1965
TO: The Fort Collins City Council
FROM: The Planning and Zoning Board
SUBJECT: #42-65 The Fourth College Annexation, containing approximately 745.13 acres
This request was considered by the Planning and Zoning Board in the regular meeting held
July 6, 1965. It was also discussed in their meeting held June 1. The annexation and zoni
of land within it were acted upon separately as follows:
Annexation i
The petition for annexation is recommended to the City Council, with a stipulation that
right-of-ways for included Major Arterial Streets be dedicated for public use and Water
Rights owned by the petitioners be made available for purchase by the City at established
prices.
A separate arrangement relative to water rights and consumption for domestic and irrigation
purposes is being worked out with Colorado State University at this time.
Zoning of Gilsdorf property
The recommendation is made to zone as "C" Residential the portion of the Gilsforf tract,
consisting of about 24.5 acres, which is located between Shields Street and Canal Number 2.
The remainder of the 108 acres is recommended to be zoned "A" Residential, with an under-
standing that' more detailed studies on street plans and zoning of the entire tract will be
done in a cooperative manner at an early date.
Zoning of other properties
It is recommended to zone the property owned by Mr. Pat Griffin (the Gasamat) and the Colo-
rado and Southern Reilroad tract on Drake east of the railroad as "E" Commercial. Zoning
of other land included in the annexation is recommended as "A" Residential.
Due to the late date of filing the Watts petition, notification to owners adjoining this
particular tract was not given. For this reason, a hearing on Zoning of this parcel will
be held by the Planning and Zoning Board at the August meeting. In order to avoid delay on
the entire larger annexation, proceedings should start on same.
Respectfully submitted,
Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board
/s/ Gene Allen
Secretary
The petition and application of the Watts property to be included on the above
Fourth College Annexation, which was referred to the Planning and Zoning Board at the July
2, 1965, meeting, requested a "C" residential zone and inasmuch as the Planning and Zoning
Board had not time to send notification to adjoining property owners concerning his request
for a "C" Residential zone of this annexation, Mr. Gene Allen, Director of the Planning
and Zoning Board, advised the Council that a hearing would be held on this petition for
"C" Residential zone at their first meeting in August and requested that the proceedings
for the entire Fourth College Annexation be started at once. The City Attorney advised the
Council that it would not be possible to include the Watts petition with a "C" Residential
zone until a hearing had been held by the Planning and Zoning board on same. After dis-
cussion, motion was made by Councilman Carson, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the
Fourth College Annexation petition,with the Watts petition excluded, be refeaed to the City
Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution and notice of hearing. Roll was called result-
ing as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman
Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.
Mr. Ronald Strahle again appeared before the Council in reference to his request
to connect a second sewer service line at 1710 Peterson Street to an existing sewer service
line at 1716 Peterson Street. He presented further arguments on the matter, stating that
he understood that the sewer line from the Columbine Rest Home had been reduced from a 6"
to a 4" when this sanitary sewer was installed, but that this connection to these lines woul,
not be as feasible as to connect to the 4" line at 1710 Peterson property. There was consi-
derable discussion by the City Engineer and Mr. Strahle and the Council members regarding
this matter, and after which motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman
Carson, that the matter be tabled for one additional week to allow the City Engineer to make
327
a study of the sewer line from the Columbine Rest Home and other details concerning build -
ling permits issued. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson,
(Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared
the motion adopted.
The City Attorney reported that the Mayor had reported an offer from George C.
hand Delora June Jardine to sell to the City 19 shares of the Capital stock of the North
Poudre Irrigation Company at $500.00 per share. After discussion, the following resolution
