AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: September6, 2005
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Ted Shepard
SUBJECT
Resolution 2005-094 Updating the List of Names For Arterial and Collector Streets.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Section 24-91 of the City Code requires that all new arterials and collectors be named from the
official list of street names approved by the City Council. The list is adopted by the City
Council and names can be added only by resolution of the City Council.
This Resolution represents an update of the official list of eligible street names in order to keep
current with the pace of new development. With the support of Police Services, Poudre Fire
Authority, U.S. Postal Service and Latimer Emergency Telephone Authority, staff recommends
that four new proper names be added to the list at this time. In addition, 11 names are to be
deleted for having already been used in the Fort Collins Growth Management Area since the last
update. Finally, seven names are to be deleted because they have already been used in other
communities in the emergency calling area.
The attached background report provides a brief history of changes made to the list since 2000
and biographical information on the four new names and the three the potentially affected
streets.
BACKGROUND
Two Previous Actions
In the Spring of 2000, City Council updated the official list to delete nine names that had been
previously selected and added seven new names. Of these seven, five were selected to re-name
existing County Roads in the southeast quadrant of the city. The Board of County
Commissioners then approved an action to continue these newly selected names to the limits of
the Growth Management Area. The affected roads were:
County Road 7 Strauss Cabin Road
County Road 9 Ziegler Road
September 6, 2005 -2- Item No. 15
County Road 11 Timberline Road
County Road 32 Carpenter Road
County Road 36 Kechter Road
In August of 2003, City Council again updated the list to delete the five names that had been
previously selected and added 16 new names. Of these 16, six were selected to re-name existing
County roads in the northeast quadrant of the city, five as arterial streets and one state highway.
In addition, four names were selected to name new collector streets. Again, the Board of County
Commissioners approved continuing the newly selected names for the arterials and state
highway to logical termination points both inside and outside the Growth Management Area.
The affected arterial/minor arterial roads were:
County Road 50 Mountain Vista Drive
County Road 52 Richards Lake Road
County Road 54 Douglas Road
County Road 11 Tumberry Road
County Road 9 Giddings Road
State Highway One Terry Lake Road
Council Action Required
Staff recommends that Council take action on the proposed Resolution to accomplish two things:
(1) delete 11 previously selected names used in the Fort Collins G.M.A. and seven names used in
Loveland, Johnstown and Estes Park, and (2) add four new names.
A. Delete 11 Previously Selected Names Used in Fort Collins G.M.A.:

September 6, 2005 -3- Item No. 15
C. Add Four New Names:
Joseph N. Allen
Charles E. Brockman
J.W.N. (Bill) Fead
William Neal
Brief Biographical Information and Potential Street Location
A. Joseph N. Allen
This name has been offered by the City of Fort Collins Police Services for naming a
collector roadway adjacent to the new facility, east of Timberline Road and north of
Drake Road. (See attached map.) If this roadway is not able to be so named, then the
proposed name shall remain on the list to be eligible for another roadway. Mr. Allen was
a police officer who was killed in the line of duty in 1907. Officer Allen's name has
been placed on the Colorado Law Enforcement Memorial at Camp George West in
Golden, Colorado and on the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington D.C.
B. Charles E. Brockman
This name has been offered by the City of Fort Collins Police Services for naming a
collector roadway adjacent to the new facility, east of Timberline Road and north of
Drake Road. (See attached map.) If this roadway is not able to be so named, then the
proposed name shall remain on the list to be eligible for another roadway. Mr. Brockman
was a police officer who was killed in the line of duty in 1911 at the age of 52. Officer
Brockman's name was also placed on the Colorado Law Enforcement Memorial and the
National Law Enforcement Memorial.
C. J.W.N ("Bill") Fead
This name has been offered by several interested citizens in honoring the contributions of
Bill Fead who served on City Council from 1971 to 1975 and as Mayor from 1974 to
1975. He was a professor of Civil Engineering at Colorado State University from 1957
until his retirement in 1995. He served as the head of the Civil Engineering Department
from 1963 to 1984. Upon retirement, he was appointed Professor Emeritus. He was a
member of the American Society for Engineering Education and the American Society of
Civil Engineers where he served as Colorado Section President. He is widely recognized
for his exemplary record at Colorado State University, including his key role in moving
the Department of Civil Engineering into the national spotlight and in elevating C.S.U. to
a leadership position among land grant universities. There is no specific street at this
time designated for this name at this time.
D. William L. Neal
This name has been offered by the friends and colleagues of Bill Neal. With support of
the developers of Rigden Farm, they desire to honor Mr. Neal by renaming an existing
collector street that is presently named "Coffey" Parkway. (See attached map.) A Street
September 6, 2005 -4- Item No. 15
Name Change Resolution accompanies this request. (The name "Coffey" will be
returned to the list as an eligible name.)
William B. Neal was instrumental in the conceptualization and development of Rigden
Farm, a 303 acre mixed-use neighborhood that was one of the first projects designed
under City Plan in 1999. As a partner in Wheeler Commercial Property Services, he was
also instrumental in the development of the Miramont, Fairbrooke and Brown Farm
neighborhoods as well as Poudre Valley Plaza at Horsetooth and Shields. He served in
the U.S. Army Intelligence, was a planner for the City of Greeley and served on the State
Highway Commission. He was inducted posthumously into the Colorado State
University Center For Real Estate Hall of Fame. In addition to being a widely-respected
businessman, Mr. Neal enjoyed biking, playing guitar, and composing and performing
music at Larimer County events.
Citizen Participation
A neighborhood information meeting was held on May 26, 2005 for the new Police Services
Facility and there were no issues with the proposed street names. Rigden Farm is a developing
mixed-use neighborhood that is being constructed in phases. No specific neighborhood meeting
was held to discuss the potential change from "Coffey" to "William Neal." There are only two
dwelling units presently addressed off "Coffey" and these are under construction and
unoccupied.
Staff Follow-Up Action Item
A. Staff will provide official notification of Council action to the Larimer
Emergency Telephone Authority, Poudre Fire Authority, Police Services, Sheriffs
Department, outside utility providers and all other entities, public and private, that
maintain mapping data or G.I.S. data. Please note that in the case of a re-naming,
the new 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. The cost of installing new street signs in new subdivision is charged to the
developer. There is no cost to the City. In the case of Police Services, the cost is
borne by the specific capital project fund.
Ongoing Efforts
With the deletion of 18 names and the addition of four new names, the official list is left with 32
eligible names. Many of these names have been passed over since the inception of the list for a
variety of reasons. For example, developers have consistently passed over "Coffin" (evokes the
image of the noun), "Ghent' (difficult to pronounce), "Clammer" (odd-sounding), "Smiley"
(evokes an emotional image), and "House" (evokes the image of the noun). While the passing
over of these names is not meant to disparage the contributions of these individuals, city-wide
developers have told us that the likelihood of these names being selected is minimal.
September 6, 2005 -5- Item No. 15
In addition, since 2000, staff has met with residents of the southeast and northeast
neighborhoods regarding new street names and finds that several of the official names simply are
not desired as a public street name. For example, staff has tried unsuccessfully to re-name a
duplicate street name in southeast Fort Collins (Cambridge Avenue) to one of the existing names
on the list. Recent efforts have failed to gain a consensus on a new name and staff has not
brought forward a Cambridge Avenue Street Name Change Resolution as a result.
In order to broaden the selection of names, staff is preparing to form a committee to come up
with new names to offer City Council. The criteria will be that found in Section 24-91 of the
City Code which was amended in September of 2003 to include "names of natural areas, natural
features, and other names of places, things, or deceased persons as the Council may approve."
Staff anticipates that after Council adoption of new names, the first order of business will be to
rename Cambridge Avenue in southeast Fort Collins as this is a future signalized intersection
with Harmony Road in a highly visible and rapidly developing area.
