FROM: Steve Olt
SUBJECT :
Resolution 2001-37 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings for
the Rice Homestead Annexation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant, Shirley M. Slaton, being the property owner, has submitted a written petition
requesting annexation of approximately 7.5 acres located south and west of Richard Lake, north
of Long Pond, east of County Road 11, and west of State Highway 1 (Terry Lake Road). The
requested zoning for this annexation is UE— Urban Estate. The surrounding properties are zoned
10 FA - Farming in Latimer County (to the north, west, and south) and UE — Urban Estate in the
City (to the north and east).
The proposed Resolution makes a finding that the petition substantially complies with the
Municipal Annexation Act, determines that a hearing should be established regarding the
annexation, and directs that notice be given of the hearing. The hearing will be held at the time
of first reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances. Not less than thirty days of prior notice
is required by State law.
The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. According to policies and
agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the
Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area, the City will agree to
consider annexation of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation
according to State law. This property gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits
from common boundaries with the Country Club North Second Annexation (January 17, 1984)
to the north and east.
Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Board will conduct a public hearing on the annexation and zoning
request at its regular monthly meeting on March 15, 2001, and will make its recommendation at
that time. The Board's recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council in time for first
reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances.
