• Resolution 98-10: Fort Collins Business Center 2°d Annexation. No objection to
the annexation. For your information, it appears that the legal description in the
resolution may have an error (property is in Range 68 West, not Range 69 West).
• Resolution 98-11: Lemay Avenue Yd Annexation. No objection to the annexation.
For your information, the legal description in the resolution states that the property is
in the northeast quarter of the section. It appears that the property is located in the
northwest quarter.
• Resolution 98-12: Lincoln-Lemay Avenue Annexation and Resolution 98-13:
Pine Ridge 4Ih Annexation. No objection to these annexations.
I hope that this information is helpful to you. The questions on the legal descriptions
came up when I was researching the properties and I thought that you may want to
double-check them before they are finalized. Please call me at 498-7688 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
Carol Evans

RE: ANNEXATION RESOLUTIONS
Dear Leanne:
I have been asked to review a number of annexation resolutions and provide. comments to
you regarding.any impacts.onthe County.: Generally; there do.not appear;to be any major
impacts -from any of these annexations. _ I. do have some informational:comments.on some
of the annexations; those.comments•are included.in.the following..list:
• Resolution:98-9;::Visitor!s Center.at.the,Environmental.Learning Center. The
County does not object to this annexation, but there are some issues with'how and
when the property being proposed. for annexation was created. It appears that the 5
acre parcel being annexed was first created by a deed recorded on March 29, 1996.
The remaining portion of the original parcel (approximately 15 acres) is not proposed
to be annexed at this time and will remain in unincorporated Larimer County. I could
not find any record of a land division application to create this parcel or any approval
by Larimer County. State and County Subdivision regulations require County
approval to create lots that are smaller than 35 acres. Based on this information, this
Department would consider the remaining unincorporated portion (parcel ID number
87210-00-006) to be an illegal lot. In these circumstances, County building permits
can not be issued on that remaining parcel until some action has been taken by the
owner to resolve the situation. Larimer County would have this concern regardless of
the annexation being proposed. The owner would either need to provide evidence
that the parcel. had been created according to State and, County, regulations or to
submit,an application _(such as a subdivision or_ P.U.D.) to resolve the illegal isplit:'
However, because the remaining parcel is almost completely surrounded by city
limits, any subdivision application..would,•trigger the provisions,of.the
.Intergovernmental Agreement (requiring property to be annexed and developmentto'.,
be done according to the City's regulations).. A copy of -this letter will also be mailed
to the last owner of record as shown by the County Assessor's office so that the
property owner is aware of this situation.
