ar Sir:
Since the light standards at Mulberry.and College Avenue intersections already
ar traffic information, we request permission for signs of the attached description to be
aced as follows: One on the light standard just north of the intersection, for traffic
ing south; and one just south of the intersection, for traffic going north.
As a matter of record, the Immanuel Southern Baptist Church had signs on College
Avenue, previous to the last street widening and improvement project. These signs were re-
noved by the city at that time due to this work being done.
Your consideration of this request will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Applications for church directional signs on public streets.
phe following applications have been received for t he erection of church directional signs
public streets:
1. Immanuel Christian Reform Church located at Olive and Remington, to erect
directional signs at:,
a,) College and Olive
b.) Mulberry and Remington
2. Immanuel Southern Baptist Church located at 1725 W. Mulberryt o erect a direc-
tional sign at:
a.) College and Mulbeay
Council should consider carefully any request to erect any signs of a private
nature which might become confused with or detract attention of motorists from, traffic
signs. Proper direction of traffic, particularly in our downtown areas, requires t[4e erec-
tion of a multitude of traffic directional signs. It is difficult enough for a stpanger
in our City to read these numerous authentic traffic regulatory signs without ad;d-,ing to
them,signs of a foreign nature.
The most critical area of "sign cluttering" is occurring, as would be expected, on
College Avenue. College being our City's principle arterial requires a greater number of
traffic regulatory signs, the high volume of traffic also makes t he street a prime location
for erecting directional signs of a private nature. At the intersection of College and Oak
there are , erected on a single light standard in the center of College, three directional
signs erected by private organizations. In making a very quick survey, t he department ob-
served similar signs at the following locations:
1.) College and Prospect
2.) C6..1lege and Elizabeth
3.) College and Mulberry
4.) College and Magnolia
5.) College and Olive
6.) College - midgblock between LaPorte and Mountain
7.) Mountain and Whitcomb
8.) Mountain and Grant
9.) Mountain and McKinley
This undoubtedly is not a complete list.
The first five signs in the above list were approved by City Council and erected

Mr. Robert F. Boos
City Manager
Attached is a request from Mr. Kermit Nuckles and Mr. Alvin Long for a one (1)
inch water service to serve a six (6) unit apartment building they propose to construct
on t he Northeast corner of the intersection of Mathews and Magnolia.
Considering the minimum basic plumbing group in each apartment (Bathtub, Lavatory
water closet and kitchen sink) there will be a mi-nimum demand in. each unit of eight (8)
fixture units. Or a total minimum demand for the building of forty-eight (48) fixture
units. Within the normal pressure range of 46 to 60 psi a one (1) inch service, as request
ed by the applicant, will be required to meet the demand.
There is a four (4) inch cast iron main in Magnolia at the subject intersection
which is capable of meeting the requested demand.

January 14, 1965
TO: R. F. Boos, City Manager
FROM: Gene Allen, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Location of Fire Station No. 3
At your request, locations in South Fort Collins have been investigated for Fire Station
No. 3. In addition to helping me reach the conclusions below, the study has emphasized
the urgency of constructing the new station at the earliest possible date. By comparison
with what standards are available, the South part of the City certainly needs beter fire
protection facilities.
Three possible locations were considered as follows:
a. In the vicinity of Stuart and Stover Streets.
b. Near the intersection of Drake Road and College Avenue.
C. In the northwest corner of Spring Park at Spring Park Drive and Mathews Street.
It is recommended the site in the northwest corner of Spring Park be selected for the new
station. In this memo I will not discuss the advantages or disadvantages of each site, but
will point out the reasons for recommending site "c". These reasons can then be related to
the other sites for comparison purposes.
Street Access to Areas Served
With completion of projects now under construction, or contemplated for immediate construc-
tion, access would be excellent. Streets which provide direct access, as shown on the accoi
parrying map, are Spring Park Drive, Mathews Street, College Avenue and Remington Street.
These connect to other streets such as Dartmouth Trail, Stuart Street, Columbia Street and
Prospect Road, thereby serving the various parts of south Fort Collins.
Construction referred to above includes the building of two bridges, one now in use on
Mathews at Dartmouth, another planned on Remington at Spring Park Drive are included, as is
the cut -through of Remington Between 'tuart and Parker.
£wo routes to Thunderbird Acres and other areas south of Drake Road exist from the proposed
site.
The future extension of Columbia RV*d into a nd across the Guard property,a ast of South
vollege Heights, and t he extension of Mathews between Park Drive and tuart will further
Improve travel routes and distances.
Eventually another station will be necessary to serve southwest Fort Collins as it grows.ection f
Until the growth brings this about the site now recommended
com endedRwill provide goo again made
rather extensive areas .along Drake ROad and g
to the service areas shown on the map.
Traffic Patterns
A major part of the area served by Station No. 3 is between College Avenue and the Union
131
Pacific Railroad, east of Lemay Avenue. The Proposed site provides good access to this
area without crossing or interfering with heavy flow of traffic on College Avenue.
The intersection of Spring Park Drive and College provides an entrance point for fire fight-
ing equipment going either north or south on College Avenue. Because this is a "Tee"
intersection and is not subject to high traffic volumes, other than on College, no traffic
signals, delays or travel -slowing stack up of autos would be anticipated at the intersectioq
A large red fire stop light should be installed at this point to further facilitate movement of
fire apparatus onto College Avenue.
Location in Spring Park
Regardless of some opposition to use of park lands for other than recreation, several bane-
fits are possible in the proposal to lace a new station in Spring Park.
To begin with I see no conflict between fire protection and recreation uses in the park.
Both are basically residential uses, requiring close proximity to t he particular area of the
community they serve. A station might not be the most desirable next door neighbor to
home owners, but minimum objections should be made to a spot in the park.
As Spring Park is developed and used, rest rooms and storage facilities in connection with
park maintenance and recreation will be essential. These items should be incorporated into
plans for the station building. With a constant occupancy of one corner of the park by firs'
men, theft, vandalism, and other questionable conduct would be at a minimum in the park.
Design of the building also might locate the telephone switchboard panel so that a view of
the park is possible by the fireman on duty there.
Availability of ,Land
Provision of adequate fire protection is our primary concern in locating a station, but the
availablity, without cost, of a site in a tract now owned by the City cannot be overlooked`
Area needed for.the station and some open area around it will probably not exceed one-half
acre, on which the original cost to the City was about $800.00. Acquiring another site of
equal size would likely require paying several times this amount, since the area is mostly
built up and land costs are correspondingly high.
Education on Fire Prevention
With development of the park and recreation use, numerous individuals, asthletic
picnicing groups will frequent the area. A Fire Station with its shiny equipment
personnel always create interest, expecially on the part -of young people.
teams, and
end!Y
and frien
The above combination offers an opportunity in good public relations and fire prevention
education.
Relationship to High Value Commercial Development
Several groups of high value commercial development and institutional uses exist within the
City. These groups are of primary importance in fire protection facilities -and station
location, because of relatively close spacing of buildings and high density of human occu',
panty. Examples of high value commercial are the University Plaza and South College
shopping areas. Examples of Institutional uses are the High School, Nursing Homes, Colo',
rado State University and 'the Poudre Valley Memorial Hospital, which include and are adj
cent to high density occupancy uses.
Protection to practically all the uses mentioned above would be good, with only small"'
now in use for commercial and residential purposes being in excess of three quarters of a
mile and one and one-half miles engine runing distance, respectively.
Relationship of Proposed Site to Existing Fire Stations No. 1 and No. 2
Proper spacing of fire stations is an important factor in proper fire protection facility
along with good equipment, well-taiained personnel, and adequate water supply, etc. In tbls
instance the existing stations were mapped, with their areas of protection. Some overlap
of areas served is shown, both between existing stations, a nd with the proposed location°con
The overlap exists in circles of secondary coverage and would seem to be a very desirable
dition since the nature of existing uses and type of structures make "bask -up" protection
from more than one station important to the central area, d
Mountain States Inspection Bureau
The "Town Report", done by this Bureau in summer, 1964, was read and considered in writing
this memorandum. After some study, I was inclinad to question their proposed location, ip
mentionedasStuart Street and Stover Street. On January 13, 1965, a telephone converaat
with Mr, on Mees, of the Inspection 'Bureau, cleared up the question when he stated the Ie'
cation they suggested was general only (perhaps within one -quarter mila) and the proposed
site in the northwest corner of Spring Park would be preferred. It was explained to him
that street and bridge improvements now under way or planned for immediate construction was
be completed prior to occupancy of the new station.
There will be some details to work out on building plans and site planning if a decision is
made to use the proposed site. I will be pleased to do this when a final decision is reaoo
in the matter.

Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mr. Boos:
RE: FIRE STATION NO. 3, FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
Reference is made to your recent letter of r'ebruary 8, 1965, concerning the con-
struction of Fire Station No. 3 in the southern portion of the City.
The proposed location of station in vicinity of northwest corner of Spring Park
as outlined in Planning Directorts evaluation of January 14, 1965, is considered fully
satisfactory by this office.
- The design of a station at this location similar to that of Station No. 2 is
fully satisfactory. In view of valuations and heights involved in this vicinity thought
may be given to checking the size of apparatus floor and openings as eventually a ladder
company may be located at this station.
We are enclosing Special Interest Bulletins #175 and #176 concerning fire station
planning and construction which may be of.interest to you.
When station construction begins we would appreciate your advice.
Yours very truly,
