The undersigned Owners of Lots in Block 6, L. C. Moore's Second Addition to the
City of Fort Collins hereby respectfully petition the City Council to be classified as

proposed in said new zoning ordinance, designated as "Planned Business", or any other bus-

I bitterly oppose the City Councils action on Sept. 23, in rezoning the W2 of
Block 6, L. C. Moore's Second Extension from Residential to Planned Business zoning. I
urgently request that it be regoned to residential.
Is/ Dr. Paul A and Wilma E. Thornton
Mr. Bill Hansen was present and requested the zoning from RH to BP which the
Council did before the reading of the ordinance. Mr. Mitchell spoke at length in regard
to the string opposition by the majority of the property owners in the block against rezonit
of this 2 block for business purposes. He spoke briefly on the defense of the suit by the
property owners which was instigated against the destroying of the covenant that is in the
deed Of all property owners in L. C. Moore's Second Addition and requested the Council for
416
Oc
consideration of changing the zoning back to RH zoning as it appeared on the map at the
start of the September 23rd meeting. Mrs. James D. Carey of 1520 Remington Street, also in
L. C. Mooreys Second.,Addit.ion,-spoke at considerable length on the effect that this re-
zoning for business purposes would have on the residents property in the vicinity of the
rezoned property, as well as the entire L. C. Moore's Second A ddition, not only the resi-
dence but the effect that the commercial zoning would have on the Fort Collins High School
attendance to classes if such establishments as hamburger shops, snack bars or such, were
erected to solicit the students business. Mr. Robert Lee of_1530 Remington Street, spoke
briefly as to the effect that this rezoning would have on the entire L. C. Moore Second
Addition, which if allowed to stand, erection of business establishments would be in direct
violation of the covenants on the deeds. Dr. A. S. Rumley of 1535 Remington Street, spoke
briefly in reference to the effect of rezoning would have on the property which he just
recently purchased with the knowledge that there was a covenant which restricted the build-
ing of two family dwellings in the L. C. Moore's Second Addition. Mr. Ed R. Martin, 1511
Remington Street, was vehement in his protest against the allowing business establishments
to encroach in the residents section around the High School and to the effect on the pro-
perty values of those owners in Block 6.
In rebuttal, Mr. Bill Hansen spoke briefly about his plee two weeks ago at results
in the; change in the zoning from RH to BP. The following letters were presented from pro-
nerty owners in the block on the west side of South College Avenue which was zoned BP at the
time of the hearing, but the necessary acreage for unit development was reduced from three
acres to two acres and it was felt that the property owners with similar acreage limit nec-
essary for unit development, approval would be a detriment tothose property owners, and it
was the assumption that this three acre limit would be maintained when they agreed not to
protest the BP zoning.
Oct. 7, 1965
TO THE CITY COUNCIL
FORT COLLINS° COLORADO
May this serve to protest your recent action changing certain portions of the
proposed Zoning Ordinance.
FIRST: We are apposed to changing the west half of the 1500 block, South College
Avenue from RH to BP.
SECOND: We are very opposed to change of the requirement of three acres to two
acres in the above mentioned block and the 1300 and the 1400 blocks on South College Avenue.
It seems only reasonable and fair to pass the ordinance as placed before you with-
out a»bitrary changes.
We own and are residents at 1417 South College Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ C. H, Alford
1413 S. College Ave.
TO: The City Council, City of Fort Collins
SUBJECT: Protest on proposed ordinance pertaining to "Planned Business" specifications in
ordinance, affecting property at 1413 S. College.
I protest the changing of the ordinance pertaining to "Planned Business" to include the
minimum of only 2 acres instead of 3 acres for development as a business property unit.
It was on the basis of the provision calling for the 3 acre minimum that I accepted with-
out protest the proposed rezoning. I felt that this allowed sufficient protection for all
property owners involved against poorly planned development. I felt that anything less
than this would allow business to come in too close to individual dwellings and perhaps be
the cause of loss of property value and/or other considerations to individual owners.
I feel that this is of concern not only in the area In which I live which is under consider-
ation for rezoning at this time, but should be of concern for all other areas of "Planned
Business".

Fort Collins City Council
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Sirs:
As I am unable to be present at the Council Meeting Thursday, October 7th, I am
taking this means to protest the BP zoning at the NW corner of South College and Prospect
and mainly in the requirements from three acres to two acres for planned business.
As a property owner in this area I resent the constant harassment of zoning cha
we have been subject to in the last five years.

Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Fischer:
Riverbend Farms has met and agreed to sell to the City of Fort Collins for a rani
Lary sewer site, the land located in the SE! of Section 20, Township 7, Range 68 West of t
6th P.M., bounded on the '.lest side by the Boxelder ditch, on the North and East by the
prloerty lines, and on the South by the Railroad right of way. As a condition of sale, it
would be necessary for Riverbend Farms to be assured of another crossing of the Railroad
right of way.
These lands were brought primarliy for gravel purposes and the particular lands
chosen by the city have good gravel potential with very little over burden. On similar
gravel lands the income oar acre for the land owner has run as high as $3,000 per acre. I
such cases there is also a residual value from the lake which is formed by the excavation.
We also feel that at some future date there will be some residential development on part o
this farm, and that, psychologically the proximity of the sewage disposal plant may adver
sly effect the value of these lands, I am authorized to offer the approximately 20 to 22
acres in this site for a price of $1590 per acre witht he understanding that no water righ
accompany this land and t at we will be paid the normal rate per linear foot for the
sewer line easements which cross our deeded land.
Representatives of Riverbend Farms will be pleased to meet with you concerning
transaction at your convenience.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Eugene I. Williams

Collins to acquire such a site for lands located in the Southeast Quarter (SE4) of Section
20, Township 7 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the City Council that the acquiring of such option
will be for the best interests of the City of Fort Collins, and the City Attorney has pre-

Re: Bond Issue Water & Sewer Projects

previously.
The amounts involved in the Change Orders are as follows:

amount of clay sewer pipe, and deletes item 18, Line "A", Removal of Septic Tank. Estimat-
ed net decrease approximately $2,000.

(reasonable. We recommend t he acceptance of these proposals.

The following report was presented and read at length:
October 5, 1965
To: Mr. Tom Coffey, City Manager
From: C. Adam Fischer
Subject: Acceptance of Street Dedication in vicinity of Poudre High School
The department has received a request that the City accept the dedication of a
short section of street running West from 24th street in the vicinity of Poudre High School
A location sketch of the area involved is attached to this report.
In November 1964 the Poudre R-1 School District dedicated the property under con-
sideration "to public use forever for street purposes". The dedication was properly execu-
ted and is recorded in the Larimer County Recorders Office in Book 1269 on page 545. The
purpose of the dedication was to assure the spool district future access from 24th street
to school property yet undeveloped to the West.
The city of Fort Collins has never accepted this dedication. And when the Build-
ing Inspection Department recently received a request for a building permit on a lot abutt-
ing the strip of ground, it was necessary that the request be denied because technically the
strip is not a "public street".
The department can see no great objects-)n to the council accepting this dedica-
tion as requested. The following point is important, however, and should be included in the
resolution of acceptance. The strip is presently being used as an unimproved roadway. If
accepted by the city as a dedicated street, it should be made perfectly clear inthe accept-
ance that t he city is accepting no responsibility for the improvement of the street and
will be responsible only to maintain it in its present state .. as a dirt street.
Respectfully submitted,
C. Adam Fischer
Public Works Director
Motion was made by Councilman Carson, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the
street dedication referred to in he above report be accepted and with the exception that
no responsibility for the improvements of the street and we will be responsible only in
its present state as a dirt street. The improvements, when necessary, are contained in the
annexation ordinance. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson,
Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared
the motion adopted.

Dear Sir:
Stoner Realty is working with the U.S. Postal Dept. and the C.S.A. on finding a
new location in Fort Collins. Through our efforts the Dept. has also offered to sale or
trade the present Post Office location of 100' x 1601. We suggestt he City of Fort Collins
should consider the purchase of this location.
A rough appraisal has been made of $225,000.00 and would consider any offers with
possession to be given after the new location is completed.
For any further information we will be glad to meet with you and the City Council.
Sincerely Yours

September 30, 1965
Stanley Case
Acting City Manager
Citv of Fort Collins SUBJECT: Revision of Section 9,
Fort Collins, Colorado Municipal Traffic Ordinance
Dear Mr. Case,
It has come to our attention that Section 9 of the Municipal Traffic ordinance recpures
that the speed limit on the campus be posted on both sides of every street (except one-way
streets), which, of course, is both impractical and unnecessary.
I, therefore, respectfully request that Section 9 be reviewed to exclude the qualifying
statement "where this speed limit is clearly indicated by signs". The ordinance will then
read (that portion referring to the University) as follows: "No vehicle shall be driven a
a ,greater rate of speed than 20 miles per hour on streets on a University Campus".
Thank ,you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ M. W. Teegarden
Chief, Campus Security
Colorado State University
