AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: April 18, 2006
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Anne Aspen
SUBJECT
Resolution 2006-043 Renaming a Portion of Cocklebur Drive to Cutting Horse Drive, a Portion of
Kerry Hill Drive to Blue Yonder Way and a Portion of Scarecrow Road to Trestle Road.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is a street name change request to rename three segments of roadway dedicated and approved
within Filing 2 of the Side Hill development. Side Hill is located northeast of the intersection of
Timberline and Drake Roads. This street name change request was initiated by the City of Fort
Collins GIS Department in collaboration with the property owner in order to avoid future confusion.
The segments to be changed include a segment of Kerry Hill Road northeast of Blackbird Drive, a
section of Cocklebur Drive east of Yearling Drive,and a section of Scarecrow Road south of Nancy
Gray Avenue.
BACKGROUND
The street name change is requested in order to resolve some confusion as to addresses; currently
the street names change at unlikely locations and there is a potential for duplicate addresses. The
revisions will simplify driving directions for residents, emergency personnel and delivery people.
The proposed change will also eliminate the possibility of duplicate street addresses on a continuous
roadway in Filing 3 of the Side Hill project,when Cutting Horse may extend far enough to include
a 2300 block as Cocklebur already does in Filing 2. The renaming will not change any existing
addresses. These segments are currently under construction.
The proposed changes are as follows: Blue Yonder Way will continue to just northeast of the
intersection of Blackbird Drive and Kerry Hill so that the change occurs at the intersection not at
the apex of the curve as approved; Cutting Horse Drive will continue to Yearling Drive, Trestle
Road will continue north to Nancy Gray Avenue,again so that the change occurs at an intersection.
Review of the request has followed the Current Planning Department's procedures for this sort of
request and has met staff requirements. It has been routed to the property owner and all of the City
Utilities, US Postal Service, Poudre Fire Authority, and outside utility providers for review and
approval. All respondents indicated that they had no problems or concerns with the proposed
change.
