FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Ted Shepard
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2000-73 Updating the List of Names for Arterial and Collector Streets.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
With the various annexations in southeast Fort Collins over the years, there are segments of five
roads that are now located entirely within the City boundaries. These roads are"section line"roads
and, as such, are classified on the Master Street Plan as arterials.
Section 24-91 of the City Code requires that all new arterials are to be named from the list of street
names approved by the City Council. This list is a collection of names of citizens that the city would
like to honor posthumously. The list is adopted by the City Council and names can be added only
by a resolution of the City Council.
The list of names has not been updated or amended since its adoption in 1985. With the adoption
of both the Harmony Corridor Plan and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan, staff believes the
southeast area of the city will rapidly develop. The time is ripe to begin the street renaming process
in this area before future residents and employers would be impacted with street name changes.
Staff has conducted three meetings with the property owners in the southeast area and has
recommended names for the five affected arterials for Council to consider. The attached background
report provides the recommended names for the five affected streets and the basis for the
recommendation.

. COUNTY ROADS RE-NAMING PROJECT
BACKGROUND REPORT
I. Sub-Project to County-Wide Street Addressing Task Force
In the Spring of 1999, Latimer County began a project to comprehensively analyze and
improve the street addressing on a regional basis in order to fix problems for emergency
providers. Presently, there is no coordinated addressing system among the cities and
unincorporated areas causing confusion and unnecessary delays for responders. For
example,there are duplicate addresses on Highway 287 that could send the County
Sheriffs Department or the Colorado State Patrol to either Campion or LaPorte. The
Larimer County Telephone Authority,which administers the 911 system, is the lead
agency and the Fort Collins G.I.S. Department is the City's representative.
As subset to this project,the City of Fort Collins has analyzed our internal street naming
and addressing system and has found areas that need improvement. One of these areas is
the recent annexations that have included former county roads that have never officially
been re-named to City streets. This creates the perception that these roads are still in
unincorporated Latimer County causing confusion for residents,property owners and
emergency providers. In order to complement the efforts of the county-wide project and
• to provide a clear distinction between city and county, Staff believes that county roads
annexed into the City should be given a name. There are potentially 18 roads within the
Urban Growth Area that, ultimately, after annexation, will need to be re-named to
provide this consistency. If any of these roads are classified as collectors or arterials,
they must be named in accordance with Section 24-91 of the City Code, adopted in 1972.
II. Southeast Fort Collins—"Pilot"Area
Staff identified the southeast quadrant of the City as the area experiencing the most rapid
growth. With the adoption of the Harmony Corridor Plan (1991 and 1995) and the Fossil
Creek Reservoir Area Plan(jointly adopted by the City and County in 1998),this area is
undergoing residential, commercial and industrial development. The time is ripe to re-
name County Roads 7, 9, 11, 32 and 36 before new arrivals take up residence or
employment.
Since there is a considerable amount of coordination with other residents, property
owners, employers, agencies, emergency providers, utilities and various existing data
banks,both City and County Staff decided to approach this project on a"pilot"basis
before taking on the re-naming process on a city-wide basis. The plan is to move into the
other quadrants one at a time.
•

III. Citizen Particiiation Process
Staff has coordinated three public meetings in conjunction with other agencies. Each
meeting was advertised by a mailing that included over 400 addresses. All meetings
were held at Preston Junior High School. Briefly,these meetings are summarized as
follows:
A. November 17, 1999:
This was an introductory meeting (agenda attached) that included a discussion of
the existing problems both county-wide and within the Fort Collins U.G.A. The
topics included emergency response issues,the City's tradition of naming streets
after citizens,postal delivery and the actual street selection process.
B. January 25, 2000:
This meeting (agenda attached)began the discussion of what would be the
appropriate theme on which to base the street name selections. The group debated
various themes such as the present list of names in Ordinance 24-91, settlers of
the Harmony District, Fort Collins residents who died in military service, and
other various non-proper names.
The group decided that the Harmony District theme was the most deserving since
the area was once a thriving agricultural district, independent of Fort Collins,
complete with railroad station, school, grain storage bins, general store and
cemetery. Some of the descendants of the original settlers of the Harmony
District still reside in the area. Significant structures that have been preserved
include the Harmony (Ziegler) House, Preston Farm, Tyler/Cook Farm,Harmony
School, Harmony Store/Filling Station as well as the Strang and Strauss cabins.
A"long list" of names was generated with a"short list"to be the topic for the
next meeting.
C. March 1, 2000:
The list was pared down and alternatives per street were recommended. Three of
the preferred names represent the legacy of the Harmony District (C.R. 7, 9 and
36). County Road 32 was selected by the group to honor C.R. Carpenter who was
the Fire Chief and died while fighting the State Dry Goods fire in 1965. While
not reflective of the Harmony District, the group believed such an act of heroism
deserved a street name on a potentially prominent roadway like C.R. 32. County
Road 11 will, logically, be continued as"South Timberline Road."

IV. Outreach to Other Departments and Boards
The following have been informed of the project:
A. Memo to Affected City and County Departments, U.S.P.O—May 21, 1999
B. Growth Management Lead Team—October 19, 1999
C. Planning and Zoning Board—April 28, 2000
D. Council Growth Management Committee—May 10, 2000.
V. Council Action Required
Council needs to take action on a proposed Resolution that will accomplish the
following:
A. Remove names from the approved list referenced in Section 24-91 that
have already been used for street naming. Also, recommends removing
one of the references to "Coffm" as this name appears twice on the list.
These are housekeeping measures. These names are identified in the
proposed Resolution.
B. Add to the list the recommended names that are not presently on the list.
These names are identified in the proposed Resolution.
VI. Staff Follow-Up Action Items
A. Provide official notification of Council action to the Larimer Emergency
Telephone Authority, Poudre Fire Authority, Police Services, all other
affected City departments, County departments, including Sheriffs
Department, outside utility providers, and all other entities, public and
private,that maintain mapping data or G.I.S. data. Please note that a street
name change does not affect any legal description of real property and that
mail can be delivered to two addresses for a period of one year.
B. Authorize the Streets Department to begin the sign changing process. The
estimated cost is between$2,000 and$4,000.

FROM: Ted Shepard, Chief Planner

DATE: May 4, 2000
SUBJECT: Re-naming Existing County Roads Now In City
Limits and Updating Section 24-91 of the City Code
With the various annexations in southeast Fort Collins over the years, there are segments
of five former county roads that are now located entirely within the City boundaries.
These roads are "section line" roads and, as such, are classified on the City's Master
Street Plan as arterials.
Ordinance 24-91 requires that all new arterials are to be named from the list of street
names approved by the City Council. This list is a collection of names of citizens that the
city would like to honor posthumously. The list is adopted by the City Council and
names can be added to only by a resolution of the City Council.
Ordinance 24-91 has not been updated or amended since its adoption in 1972. With the
adoption of both the Harmony Corridor Plan and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan,
Staff believes the southeast area of the city will rapidly develop. In keeping with the City
tradition of honoring its citizens, Staff believes it is appropriate to re-name County Roads
7, 9, 11, 32 and 36. The time is ripe to begin the street re-naming process in this area
before additional future residents and employers would be impacted with street name
changes.
Staff has conducted three meetings with the residential and commercial property owners
in the southeast area and has recommended names for the five affected arterials for
Council to consider. This is a joint project among Transportation, CPES and CLRS with
the full knowledge and approval of Larimer County. The attached report provides the
recommended names for the five affected streets and the basis for the recommendation.

Subject: Urbanization of County Roads in SE City and UGA
Date: May 9,2000
On March In we held our last public meeting with the residents of the area in the southeast
quadrant of the City and UGA. The purpose of the meeting was to make the final selection of
names for County Roads#7,#9,#32, and#36. As with prior meetings approximately 400
invitations were sent. By a process of discussion and consensus,a primary and alternate name
was selected from a list of names suggested from the previous meeting of January 25, 2000.
The names selected: County Road# 7 A. Strauss Cabin Road
B. Council Tree Road
County Road#9 A. Ziegler Road
B. Bailey Road
C. Franz Road
County Road# 32 A. Carpenter Road
B. Chief Friday Road
County Road# 36 A. Kechter Road
B. Bailey Road
C. Franz Road
Strauss was one of the first individuals to farm in the area,he had a positive relationship with
the Native Americans in the region. The remains of his cabin is at the north end of that section of
County Road#7.
Council Tree references the Arapaho - Cheyenne tribal council tree once located in that area
near the site of Strauss Cabin.
The Harmony district was a cohesive community as it was settled and the individuals got along
so well that they named the area Harmony. The settlers who had farms in that area which may be
memorialized are Ziegler,Kechter, and Franz.
Ziegler came to Colorado in 1896 and was known in the Harmony district for the promotion of
the Laramie-Poudre irrigation project and established farming in the Colorado upon a scientific
basis. The Ziegler family owned the Harmony House, one of the locally designated historic
structures remaining in the Harmony District.
George and Mary Katherine Kechter were of German-Russian decent. They arrived in the
Harmony district in 1903; bought a 3320 acre farm in 1910 where he and his family continued to
farm for 50 years.
Leonard and Katherine Franz moved to Fort Collins in 1882 and farmed in the Fossil Creek area
until he bought the land in the southwest and northwest corner of Harmony Road and Timberline
Road. Fed some of the first lambs in the area and raised some of the first sugar beets when Great
Western Sugar was built in 1904. Union Pacific Railroad built a passenger depot, stockyard,beet
dump, grain elevator, etc. on his farm in 1910 and he sold land for the Harmony Store to be
constructed in 1917. The family still lives in the area.
Chief Friday was an Arapaho Chief who was adopted and raised by whites. He was educated in
Saint Louis and spoke English. He was a source of help to the early settlers and was respected by
Native Americans and settlers alike.
George Bailey was a Colorado Supreme Court Justice
• C.R. Carpenter was Fire Chief 10-18-46 to 10-1-47 and 4-13-55 t0 6-29-65. Chief Carpenter
was killed in service to the community while fighting the State Dry Goods Fire in 1965.
