AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: February 17, 2004
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Troy Jones
SUBJECT
Resolution 2004-021 Renaming Shearwater Court to Swift Court.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is a staff-initiated street name change. Shearwater is a duplicate street name. Staff
recommends that Shearwater Court be renamed to Swift Court.
BACKGROUND
The existing local residential street, Shearwater Court, is within the Fossil Lake P.U.D. - Swift
Addition, which was a development approved by Larimer County in March of 2003, and
subsequently annexed into the City in July of 2003. The County inadvertently approved the name
Shearwater Court within the development without confirming whether or not there was a duplicate
name. Upon annexation, the City inherited this situation. There is already a Shearwater Drive in
Fort Collins, so to avoid a duplicate name, it needs to be changed. The developer is the only
affected property owner, and has been notified. No building permits have been issued yet on
Shearwater Court. The name Swift Court was chosen by the developer of the neighborhood to honor
Louis Swift, a previous owner of the property who had farmed it, and who recently passed away.
