It is bordered on three sides by the city of Fort Collins and its inclusion into the city is consistent with Principle LU.1: "promoting a compact development pattern within a well-defined boundary". Overland Trail is the eastern boundary and "The Ponds" subdivision makes up the southern and western boundaries. The CSU Foothills Campus makes up the northern boundary and is in the county It is within the City of Fort Collins Growth Management Area (UGA) and the current zoning is Larimer County FA-1. The City Structure Plan delineates the easterly 20 acre portion as Low Density Mised-Use (LMN) and falls within the "Infill Area" as defined in Land use Code 5.1. The infill designation is a primary means of identifying a targeted area to be encouraged as a location for development as referred to in Policy LU-4.7. The structure plan designates the westerly 15 acre portion as Residential Foothills District (RF). The property was originally purchased by Evelyn Minattas parents, Sam and Elvira Aranci in 1929. There are two residences on the site. One is the primary residence of Sam Minatta, one of the family owners who have lived at the site since 1972 and the other is a rental property. The greater part of the site has primarily been utilized as pasture for horses and cattle for the last fifty years. Pedestrian and vehicle connectivity with the neighborhood to the south is made by two existing points of access where Banyon and Sunflower Drives stub into our site and also provides the extension of city utilities We are currently negotiating with CSU to acquire .15 acres of their property that is necessary to become ROW and allow West Elizabeth to extend across Overland Trail. This will provide the main point of access for the site from the arterial, Overland Trail. We intend to comply with the City Structure Plan, Policy L.U-3.1 "General Area Designations" for this site and within the LMN and RF zoning, provide a mix of single family homes and multifamily town houses. The single family homes will be similar in square footage and lot size to the homes in the neighboring "Ponds" development. The Townhomes will be clustered near the Overland Trail frontage on approximately 4 acres. We are proposing densities of 6 to 8 units per acre in this multi family site, which will be slightly less but comparable to Lory Ann Estates and Scenic Views densities directly across Overland Trail. These proposed types of housing and densities will maintain and enhance the already existing character as suggested in Principle LU-2 The City of Fort Collins wants to build a 4 acre regional detention pond on our property and we are currently negotiating a purchase offer. We are in agreement with the Cities pond design and have incorporated it into our preliminary site plan. A .7 acre parcel owned by the Fort Collins Loveland Water District is included in this annexation. The FCLWD parcel is at the south east corner of the site and is separated from our property by the PV&L Canal. We sold this parcel to the FCLWD through a county MRD process in March of 2000.
