The following letter was presented and read at length: August 26, 1965 Honorable Mayor n M?mbersof the City Council City of Fort Collins Port Collins, Colorado Greetings: At a meeting of your honorable body two weeks ago today a petition of application was presented to you asking for the right to construct a filling station on Lot 8, Block 92, Of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. At that time we asked that you defer action on ts and certain reasons which we wish to present this matter until we could assemble the fac to you for opposing the granting of this permit. We are here now to state the reasons why we are opposed to the granting of this permit and first we will present to you the reasons as We see them from the standpoint of The Masonic Home Association. This area has been developed by five organizations, three are financial, one is the County of Larimer, and one a fraternal organization. These five organizations have spent in the area of six and one-half million dollars within the radius of three hundred feet of this corner, and several hundred thousand dollars have been invested in off street parking, The extent to which these organizations have contributed to this off street park- ing are the Court House with one hundred seventy-five (175) parking spaces, The First Nat- iohal Bank with ond_huiidred twenty -'six (126) spaces, the Masonic Temple with twenty-sevej. (27)ap4�Q&a, The Fort Collins Federal Savingsoand Loan Association-sevwit67)ne Hundred Two king anthe fourRhundredninety-seven(497) Mountain nsoff street parking spaces which have been made Possible thoou h t he efforts of these five organizations. These organizations, while to son g degree competitive, have alIl acted in the highest possible way in e e this of this area and none of them have refused to spend money necessary to make this development what it is today. Now we see approaching`a filling station for the Qlnicest and best corner in the whole area, The come contributing moth`ing' The five or anizations which we have here- tofore mentionedhavemade the area what it going The filling w'tatib comes empty handed. They have no place for parking and are even going to re this away with about fifteen parking ed, and se w 4aces now used on Howes Street and Canyon venthese parking spaces. Furthermoreion is to , from tour own so far as we know have nothing to replace these p observeti.on we find that whenever companies like Phillips; Humble, or other large oil °ompahies seek space for a station it is always in the area of twenty to twenty-five thous= square feet. In this et case thele point the sand end eofethedie trian- to the fact that the area is a triang th which has not enough width to be of any value gle of some thirty or fourty feet in dearden or something of this kind. This reduces the whate'rer except possibly for 8 flower g 382 August 26. 1965 usable area of the lot for a filling station to approximately eleven thousand square feet, Which in our observation is about one-half of what a filling station should have to take c of their customers' cars and to be operated in the way a filling station should be. As to the need for a filling station in this area we wish to call your attention to the fact that this area is virtually encircled by filling stations. The Toliver and Anney station is at the northeast corner of the Court House Square, the Conoco station is at the northwest corner of the Court House Square, the Sinclair station is across the street' and one block north of the Rocky Mountain National Bank, and J. C. Penney and Company, in a few days, will open probably the largest filling station in northern Colorado directly across the street from the First National Bank Computer Complex. This certainly serves this area to the fullest extent. We contend that nothing further is needed. We have heard of no petitions being circula.ted among the neighbors of this area asking for a filling station. We believe that a petition against this station would be pretty popular in the area. It is also a known fact that the establishment of a filling station in a neigh- borhood immediately depreciates the adjoining territory and causes a marked loss of values in the area 'of 'a filling station is operated here. We have up to now presented the features which could be termed a selfish stand- point f hr the reasons as to why we hope you will deny this application, but we now want to take up the traffic situation. This corner is already congested. It is a five corner area with Canyon Avenue, East and West Oak Streets and North and South Howes Streets. Cars approaching on Canyon Avenue are only given thirteen seconds to get through to either Zast Oak or North Howes. In the case of normal traffic it will accommodate two or three cars for each light change, but if the head car is slow only two cars can get through. The area on the west side of the campus is in a violent upturn. The area west of the South Shields Shopping Center, which is known as the West Elizabeth Street area is also buildingtrem,end- ously fast. Al of that traffic coming into the corner of Mulberry and Shields S reet is causing congestion in that area and fifty to seven -five percent of the cars that move east from this point are destined for Canyon Avenue. The east half or the east part of the col- lege area is now using Howes Street to come to town. The Court House and three financial institutions are tremendous devebpers of traffic for a g reat number of customers. The Court House has more customers than any, including the Traffic Department itselt. We feel that the increase will be such that a filling station on this corner will be a definite menace to traffic in this intersection. It will impede the flow of traffic on both Howes and Canyon and the ingressand egress would keep a policeman busy keeping them from violat- ing traffic regulations. To put it simply, a filling station at this location would be not only a nuisance but a tremendous traffic hazard in the future. It would not only depreciate values in this area but be a blight on a future development of this area. It has no beauty or dignity and it has no utility or necessity value. On this basis we feel we are justified in asking that you would deny this appli- cation Respectfully submitted, /s/ Hildur A. Norell President and Director /s/ U. A. Lott, Secretary and Director Harold Bowen, Dir-ctor Floyd Headlee, Director T. E. Schureman, Director The following report was presented and read at length: August 19, 1965 Mr. Stanley R. Case Acting City Manager R�: Traffic Study - Intersection Canyon, Howes and Oak. The following is the report requested, regarding the existing traffic paterns at the intersection of Canyon, Howes and Oak, and how these patterns would be affected by the conttuction of a service station in the Southwest quadrant of the intersection. The present complexion of the lot under consideration (the triangle bounded by Canyon, Ho Wes and Olive) is residential. It is virtually a certainty, however, that in the not too distant future the use of the triangle will change and begin to conform to the gener al business usage which not exists to the North, East and West of the Canyon -Howes -Oak in- tersection. The area is presently zoned "D" Commercial and is proposed, under the new zoning ordinance, to be used as General Business (BG). These represent the more broad of the business classifications in both ordinances. The zoning is confirmed by observing the City's guide -for -growth map which includes the area in an all inclusive business classifi- cation. There presently exists, on the Northeast corner of the intersection, the Larimer County Court Houee . on the Northwest corner of Howes and Oak, the Fort Collins Federal Savings and Loan . in the triangle between Oak and Canyon, the Rocky Mountain National Bank . and on the Southeast corner of the intersection the Masonic Lodge. While there are many dis -similarities between these uses and a gasoline station there is also a a imil- arity from the standpoint of traffic generation. All of the above activities are, in the language of the traffic engineer, heavy traffic generators. In the case of banks and saving and loan institutions, drive in windows have become an essential part of the building design The off-street parking requirements of each of these uses is the highest found in our zon- ing ordinance . and properly so. The County Court Hou a on another corner of the inter- section is no less a traffic generator. Tonsider that there are in excess of 25 different departments housed in the Court House. Some of these individual offices are major traffic generators in their own right ... is the Motor Vehicle License Bureau. Considering the Coui House as a single unit, it probably draws as may or more vehicles into an area, during the business day, than any other single facility in the City. The service station proposed wou: almost without question, draw less traffic from the street during the normal business heday than any one (excepting the Masonic Temple) of the facilities presently existing in- tersection. 38 Even if this were not true, the council should consider very carefully the denial of an otherwise permitted use on the basis of traffic consideration alone. Our zoning ordi- nance restricts the location of various types of business. In addition to a restriction as to location a further restriction is made with regard to the amount of off-street parking' which must be provided; the size of the lot; and the percentage of the lot which may be used We have other restrictions which limit the location and widths of access from the lot to the public street. Having established and enforced these various regulations, the City should be prepared to then accept the responsib lity for the increased traffic on the abutting streets which will necessarily result from the establishment of such business. In the case of a service station, these comments are even more valid because within our ordi- nances we have placed additional restrictions on such business. The intersection under consideration involves the jupction of three streets. The ;eometrics of such an intersection necessarily increase the number of possible points of con fiict, or points within the intersection where an accident might occur. Referring to the attached sketch, at a normal 4 way intersection, such as Meldrum and Oak, there are 24 point of conflict. With an additional street directed diagonally `into the intersection this num- ber is doubled. Surprisingly, however, the intersection does not have a high accident rate. the traffic signal arrangement has worked in an excellent manner, and the only reported acci dent of any kind received this year was a minor accident on May 26, that involved a car traveling Southwest on Canyon and a parked car on Canyon 106 feet from t he intersection. Each time a two-way drive is constructed off the street, seven conflict points are created. And, in the case of two driveways having the proximity of the drives proposed on the service station, at least one is added for atotal number of 15. This, of course, is the basis for limiting the number, width and location of private entrances, as we do in our driveway ordinance. The traffic is high at the intersection, but does not exceed the capacity of the three streets, Howes and Canyon have average daily traffic volume of above 2400 vehicles, with the volume on Oak being around 2000. During the peak hours of the day slightly over 1000 vehicles lass through t he intersection. These are traffic counts that were taken durin€ the Spring 4, and in all probability have increased slightly. The construction of a service station on the site proposed is certainly going to affect the traffic flow, not only on the two streets of Howes and Canyon, but also within the intersection, because during peak hours there will be occasions that "stack up" at the intersection will extend back to a point in line with the protected drives on both streets. The office would, however, have to say that the traffic interference a service station would create would be less than most of the other type businesses which are permitted in the same zoning classification. /a/ C. Adam Fischer Public Works Director. After considerable discussion, motion was made by Councilman Carson, seconded by uncilman Bennett, that the permission be granted for the erection of this service station. 11 was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Carson, McMillan and Bennett. s: Councilman Johnson and Councilwoman Quinn. The President declared the motion dopted. The following ordinance was presented on first reading: ORDINANCE NO. 43, 1965 NG AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1-27 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF FORT LINS, COLORADO, 1958, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO PENSIONS FOR FIREMEN IN THE CITY OF FORT LINS AND PROVIDING FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIREMEN"S PENSION FUND BY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM GENERAL FUND FROM THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS AND BY EQUAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE DEDUCTED M THE SALARIES OF ALL FIREMEN EMPLOYED BY THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS Motion was made by Councilman McMillan, seconded by Councilman Bennett, that inance No. 43, 1965, be considered favorably on first reading and ordered published this h day of August, A. D. 1965, and to be presented for final passage on the 16t1a day of Sept er, A. D. 1965. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, son, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None, The President declared the tion adopted. The following report was presented and read at length: August 24, 1965 The Honorable Mayor and City Council 3m: Stanley R. Case, Acting City Manager oject: Water Ordinance No. 18, 1965. The requirement that water bills shall not be prorated has presented difficulties n the Utility Office in so far as this relates to new homes or initial water service to the ustomer . To require a payment covering the entire past quarter when only a few days remait n that quarter appears to be an unfar request on the part of the ,new property owner. It is therefore recommended that Section 54 be revised as follows: 381 Section 54 Flat Rates - Prorate If water rates are changed or water users institite or terminate service other than on established billing dates, the water bill shall not be prorated. Provided, hew - ever, that the initial water service shall be prorated to the nearest ten (10) day period. The flat rate charge for a quarter shall be the minimum charge for any use during the quarter. The revision involves the addition of the second sentence. Prorating the initial water service appears to be a far more equitable arrangement. Furnishing of water rights is covered in Section 67 of the City Water Ordinance which reads in part, "Effective January 1, 1966, all premises requesting original water service from the City of Fort Collins, including but not limited to properties included in all proposed annexations, shall furnish to the City of Fort Collins, without cost to the City, water rights acceptable to the City in the amount of two acre-feet per acre to be served or, if water fights are tot available, the equivalent of $100.00 in payment for each acre-foot so required provided,..." The question that arises is whether the water rights are based on the total area annexed at the time of annexation; are they based on the total area included in a develop- ment plan at the time of plotting, or are they based on the individual areas or lots as they request water service. This matter was presented previously to the council with recommendation by Council that it be referred to the Water Board. These two matters were presented to the Water Board at their meeting, August 23, at which they concurred in the recommended change for Section 54 and recommended that the City Attorney draft a change in Section 67 that would make the above listed provisian appli- cable at the time of filing the final subdivision plat. It is recommended that the Council approve the above changes and refer them to the City Attorney for necessary ordinance change. Respectfully submitted, /s/,Stanley R. Case Acting City Manager The following recommendation of the Water Board was presented and read at length: TO: City Manager FROM: Water Board DATE: August 24, 1965 SUBJECT: Memo From Director of Public Works Regarding Changes in Water Ordinance No. 18, 1965. At the meeting of the Water Board held August 23, 1965, it was the unanimous de- cision by those present that the Board's recommendation is to include t he following sentenc "Provide, however, that the initial water service shall be prorated to the nearest ten (10) day period,"sentence to be a part of Section 54 of Ordinance No. 18, 1965. Also that Sec- tion No. 67 be amended to include that water be supplied by the developer of the land at the time of filing the final plat instead of at t he time the land is annexed. It is also the Board's recommendation that these items be referred to the City Attorney to draw up amendments to the original ordinance. /sl John Bartel Secretary of the Water Board After considerable discussion, the City Attorney stated that his interpretation of the change of furnishing water at the time of filing the final plat instead of when the land was annexed, might encounter some legal difficulties. Motion was made by Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilman Carson, that this matter be referred to the City Attorney, City Manager, City Engineer and the City Planner for study and report on the solution of this problem. Rolf was ca lled resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Hayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted. The following report was presented and read at length: August 24, 1965 To: The Honorable Magrrand City Council From: Stanley R. Case, Acting City Manager Subject: Sewer Ordinance No. 17, 1965 Several difficulties arise in the administration of the new Sewer Ordinance No. 17, 1965, which can be eliminated by the following revisions: Section 39 Sewer Charges The following charges shall be made for the use of sewer service: CITY FLAT RATE WATER USERS ( per month The charge for sewer service for each month shall be 65 per cent of the current monthly bill 385 Each living unit - gravity System - $2.50 Each living unit - dump system --- $3.00 CITY -METERED WATER USERS(per month) The charge for sewer service for each month shall be 65 per cent of the current nthly bill for water service, but not less than $2.50 per month per living unit served. OUTSIDE CITY+:METERED WATER USERS The charge per month for sewer service for one living unit shall be 95 per cent of the average monthly bill for water service during the preceding months of January, February, and March, but not less than $14.00 per quarter. The sewer charge for sewer ser- vice to other than one living unit shall e negotiated by the City Manager and approved by the City Council. NOT SERVED BY CITY WATER - INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CITY The sewer service charge for sewer service to customers not being served by City water shall be negotiated by the City Manager and approved by the City Council. There are three basic changes recommended in Section 39 as follows: 1. Whereas before the sewer service charge for in -City -metered water users was based on the average water usage fort he months of January, February and March, it would, with the recomme.nded charge, be simply 65 per cent of the past month's water bill. The present Section makes no provision for calculating a service which begins or changes in character in the period between March and January. It was felt that a consideration of irrigation and lawn watering was not significant for metered water users who consist prin- cipally of businesses. One final reason for the recommended change was to establish a Policy of calculating the charge on the basis of water actually used (as we presently do in the case of. water) rather than a projected usage. 2. The Section covering Outside City -Metered Water Users was changed to specify that the rate indicated pertained to one living unit only. An additional sentence was added to provide for such service to usage other than one family unit. 3. A new Section was added to cover the use of the City sewer system in those instances where City water service was not being received. It is recommended that these proposed changes be approved by the City Council and referred to the City Attorney for the necessary ordinance change. Respectfully submitted, /a/ Stan]s-y R. Case Acting City Manager Motion was made by Councilman McMillan, seconded by Councilman Carson, that this referred to the City Attorney to draw the amendments to the ordinance. Roll was called sulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman nn. Nayes: None. .The President declared the motion adopted.
