The following communication was presented and read at length: WATER BOARD OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS The Honorable, the Mayor and Members of the Council of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado City Hall Fort Collins, Colorado Messrs. and Made m: Your Water Board from its inception has been charged with recommending a long- range and comprehensive plan for the development of existing and future water supply for the City of Fort Collins. We feel that any plan of value must be the result'of careful study, and we feel that no such study is possible without the aid of an experienced and qual ified hydrologist. After extensive interviews, we have concluded that W. W. Wheeler and Associates. of Denver, Colorado, would be best qualified to assist the Board and the Council in under- standing of and solution to our water problems. We propose, therefore, subject to Council Approval, to retain this firm for such hydnlogical studies as are deemed necessary. As we view it, no study of future needs can be undertaken without a careful analy- sis of present needs and present supply. We accordingly contemplate that such a study shoul be immediately undertaken. As the need for construction of a new filter plant is obvious, it is contemplated that this first study will include a study as to the best location for such a plant. The cost of t is first study phase will not, according to Mr. "heeler, exceed $1,500.00 and may well be below that figure. We therefore recommend that W. W. Wheeler and Associates be retained for this pur- pose at a cost not to exceed $1,500.00. The second phase of the study contemplated will explore the future water resources required, as well as their treatment and distribution. The Board is not yet in a position, however, to quote a figure as to the cost of this phase. Nonetheless, the Council should be aware that a request for funds for this purpose will be made in the near future, as the Board is confident that hydrological assistance is an absolute requrement for intelligent planning. The Board further feels that with intelligent planning the water requirements of the City can be met, and that with construction of a new filter plant in connection with the reservoir now under construction there will be ample water for all needs. Accordingly, the Board recommends that the Council re-examine the City's position concerning the supply- ing of water to subdivisions not included within or contiguous to the City. Assuming that such subdivisions will soon become a part of the City, and assuming that agreements can be reached concerning the cost and means of supplying of water to such lands, it would be to the interests of the City to so cooperate. In other words, the Counci: should no longer refuse water for the sole reason that the lands served are not contiguous to the City's boundary. Each case, of course, will have to be separately considered, but the way to discussion should not be blocked by a blanket policy in opposition to such a possibility; and landwners should be informed that the possibility exists. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Ward H. Fischer President The following resolution was presented and read at length: RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS APPROVING AN AGREEMENT TO BE ENTERED INTO WITH W. W.

W.

These curb cuts are needed because this area will be used for the sale of auto- mobiles. As such, it is felt advisable that an additional entrance should be furnished so that the cars can get off of South College Avenue more quickly.

Yours very truly, /s/ Gene E. Fischer The City Engineer recommended that no more than two curb cuts on each street be 0 0 granted with a maximum of 25 feet in width.

The following communications were presented and read at length: March 11, 1964 Mr. G. J. Weiss City Engineer Ft. Collins, Colorado Re: Ft. Collins Student Apartments Dear Mr. Weiss; This letter shall serve as confirmation of our conversation of March 10 with regards to the drainage of the site for the above -referenced project. We appreciate ,your advising us that on certain accasions in the past the drainage culvert under West Prospect Street, which drains to the south to the creek, has not been maintained and this has resulted in water hacking up on this property. We believe thatt he natural drainage from this site is adequate so long as this culvert and ditch along the railroad right of way is properly maintained. We shall review the legal documents with respect to this drainage right of way to ascertain whose responsibility it is for maintenance. We are also advising the owner to inspect this drainage culvert from time to tome to ascertain that it is functioning properly. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter, Sincerely, /s/ Donald R. Roark March 11, 1964 Dr. J. Richard Naylor a)65 Birch St. Denver, Colorado Re: Ft. Collins Student Apartments Dear Doctor Naylor: We are enclosing a letter which we forwarded to Mr. G. J. Weiss, city engineer, City of Fort Collins. I believe that the drainage as designed for your building project is perfectly adequate as long as this drainage ditch and culvert are properly naintained. I believe that the legal documents with respect to this gound and its drainage should be reviewed by your attorney and the party who is responsible for the maintenance of this ditch should be thereby advised in that it appears that proper maintenance has not been carried out daring the past few years. In addition, Mr. Olds has installed on his adjacent property a drainage culvert w hic is not as large as that which was provided under West Prospect St. I believe that Mr. Olds should be advised by your attorney that in the event that this drainage culvert which he has installed is not of sufficient size that he would be responsible for damages which could possible accrue, etc. I believe that the size of the drainage tale which is installed on the property will probably be adequate if it is meticulously maintanied. 1If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely /s/ Donald R. Roark This is in reply to a request of the City Engineer for information as to drainage lof the property upon which the Fort Collins Student Apartments is being erected and for which a request for curb cuts was made at the meeting of March 5, 1964, and tabled at that Itime. The Council felt that the matter of the drainage of water was not necessarily the lCi.ty's concern but as, the architect has stated above,that the drainage was adequate for this property, motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Colwell, that the cut applied for be granted. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes : Councilmen . Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Guyer and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President de- Iclared the motion adopted.
