The Guidelines have been derived from the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treat- ment of Historic Properties and are specifi cally crafted to meet the needs of the City of Manitou Springs, Colorado. The Guidelines require reasonable application. Their purpose in the design approval process is to maintain and protect: • The historic integrity of individual structures and historic features in the District • The unique architectural character of the different sub-districts • The distinctiveness of the city as a whole The Guidelines provide a tool for property owners and the Commission to use in determining whether a proposal is appropriate to the long-term interests of the District. The parameters set forth in the Guidelines also support opportunities for design creativity and individual choice. Our application of the Guidelines encourages a balance between function and preservation, accommodating the needs of property

  • Climatology of Colorado Tornadoes Are Colorado Tornadoes Growing Longer and Stronger in Time?
    Climatology of Colorado Tornadoes Are Colorado Tornadoes growing longer and stronger in time? CHRISTOPHER K. SPEARS Graduate Student, Mississippi State University ABSTRACT Over the past half century, the number of tornadoes reported in the United States has doubled from roughly 600 per year in the 1950s, to around 1,200 per year in the 2000s (Verbout et al. 2006). The trend in Colorado has been more aggressive with the number of average annual tornadoes quadrupling during the same time period, from 12 to 48 per year on average. This trend can be attributed to a number of factors, including an improvement in record keeping and better tornado detection through Doppler radar. It is also widely accepted throughout the meteorological community that a growing population and more public awareness are contributing factors. There are numerous studies about U.S. tornado trends, but few that focus specifically on potential trends in Colorado. When posing the question ‘are tornadoes growing longer and stronger with time,’ a long-time resident might be inclined to say yes, simply due to recent back- to-back killer tornadoes in the late 2000s. One of those storms stuck in late March 2007. Typically, Coloradoans are more concerned about a blizzard rather than a killer tornado that early in the spring season. So are we seeing tornadoes grow longer and stronger with time? It is the goal of this paper to answer this question and more through a detailed analysis of all documented Colorado tornadoes between 1950 and 2012. Having a better understanding of this weather hazard will help improve public awareness and preparedness that could potentially save lives.

A communi- ty history can be documented in a collection of names and dates carefully recorded in history books seldom read, or it can be seen everyday in the architecture of the past. Protecting and preserving that architectural heritage is one way we can celebrate the people and events that shaped our community and enhance the foundation for our future growth and development. Background Large Queen Anne Victorian hotels such as the Bark- er House and the Cliff House are visible reminders of Manitou’s heyday as a health resort. These grand buildings, although altered signifi cantly through ear- ly renovations, date back to the 1870s when Manitou Springs was founded by Dr. William Bell, an Eng- lish physician and business partner of General Wil- liam Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. Dr. Bell envi- sioned a European-style health resort built around the natural mineral springs with public parks, gardens, villas and elegant hotels. With this plan in mind, Manitou Springs’ fi rst hotel, the Manitou House, was constructed in 1872. Development during the 1870s -1880s was rapid and consisted primarily of frame construction. Although Manitou’s growth did not faithfully adhere to Dr.
