i Page 2 15 February 1977 U.S. Army Engineering District Al''l'N: A. Thomsen, PIB:nning Div. ic., ~ The areas of greatest concern along Spring Creek floodplain are the following: 1. Beginning at College Avenue east to Prospect Street This area is ov&r 50 percent developed and is likely to become completely developed except; for two public parks within 20 years. It is now developed predominantly a~ single-family and multi-family residential uses with some commercial and ~ndustrial uses along College Avenue and Prospect Street. 2. Beginning at Dr~ke Road east to College Avenue This area is approximately 25 percent developed mainly with residential uses. Approxim~tely 25-30 percent of the area will remain undeveloped as parkland and cropland for CSU, but the remainder is expected to develop .primarily as residential uses. 3. Be~innin~ at Sprin~ Creek Dam east to Drake Road This area is only 5 -10 percent developed, primarily with loW'-density residential use~. Some utilities are available for the area, so. it .is expected that there will be additional residential development in this area. Two other areas of dr~inage that are of concern to the Fort Collins area are the Boxelder drainage and the Fossil Creek drainage. The Boxelder Creek Drainage Although development is not heavy in this drainage area~ the presence of a water' and sanitation district and good transportation provide the potential for substantial fut~re development. Some residential development has already occurred in proximity to the creek near Highway 14, and it is e~pected that there will be furth~r development between Highway 14 and Prospect Street. The Fossil Creek Drainage Development also is' not heavy in this area at the present time, with some smaller residential subdivisions loeated near Fossil Creek. A large P.U.D. has been recently approved along Fossil Creek, and along with plans by Hewlett-Packard to build on Harmony Road, the demand for building sites in this area has increased. The entire area is included in the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District serves about one-third the area at the present time. .
