HomeMy WebLinkAboutCRAWFORD ANNEXATION, 719 W. WILLOX - 5-05 - AGENDA - INITIATING RESOLUTIONPAGE 8 the City of Fort Collins for many years. This 4.5 mile section of road is developing into an urban arterial. CDOT made proposals for transfer of ownership of Harmony Road in the past, but the City resisted because of the additional costs involved. In the most recent discussions CDOT offered funds in a one-time payment to the City to fund upgrades and offset the cost of maintenance cost over the next 20 years. CDOT and the City's Transportation staff worked together to develop estimates for the 20 year maintenance. CDOT will retain maintenance responsibility for the portion of Highway 68 between the west frontage road and I-25, including the frontage road intersection. The City will accept responsibility for the portion west of the frontage road. CDOT is offering a one- time payment of S 13,700,000 to the City to take ownership on this section of Harmony Road. There is some urgency to this matter because part of these funds need to be committed by CDOT within its current fiscal year (before July 31, 2005). 23. Resolution 2005-061 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings for the Crawford Annexation. This item was considered by Council on April 19, 2005, and was postponed to this date to allow staff to determine the ownership of a 30-foot strip of land included in the annexation. The Crawford Annexation has been revised to remove the westerly 30-foot strip. This 30- foot strip was Quit Claimed in 1902 to another party for access purposes and is not owned by the petitioner. The parcel has been reduced in size and now consists of 29.56 acres. Also it has come to light that the original petition for annexation was signed by the wrong entity, having been signed by Mr. Willox as an individual rather than by the true owner, which is a limited liability company of which he is the manager. Therefore, it is necessary to re- initiate this annexation. The site is located approximately one-half mile west of North College Avenue on the south side of Willox Lane. Contiguity with the existing municipal boundary is gained along the eastern boundary which is shared with the west property line of the Hickory Village Mobile Home Park. Contiguity is also gained along a portion of the southern boundary which is shared with the north property line of the City of Fort Collins Soft Gold Park. The recommended zoning is U-E, Urban Estate. This zoning complies with the Structure Plan Map. 24.
