Subject: Re: E.Prospect Annex. Agreement
The UGA Agreement contains a provision that the City will apply its off -site street policy to developments
inside the city limits that have an impact on the county road system. Annex the property and then make
any proposed development improve any roads, inside or outside of the city limits, as required by our
codes. Forget an annexation agreement in this case, it doesn't get us anything we wouldn't get anyway.

We have been processing a request to annex 47 acres east of 1-25, about half -way between Mulberry and
Prospect. The parcel has about 1,000 feet of street frontage along the highway frontage road.
This parcel is acutely disconnected from the fully improved urban -level street system.
The question that I would like to pose is should the City consider entering into an Annexation Agreement
to attempt to clarify the extent of the off -site improvements necessary to develop this parcel?
Paul suggests that an Annexation Agreement may be a way for a developer to voluntarily commit to doing
more than what our Code would normally require.
The risk is that the applicant could claim that an exorbitant exaction could amount to a de -facto "denial" of
the annexation. Then, the applicant could go to the County and say the City denied the annexation
request allowing the applicant to develop in the County.
This parcel is owned by Les Kaplan and it abuts a parcel owned by Dallas Horton (Galatia). Both owners
are coordinating with Ron Daggett of Poudre School District since the District owns an adjacent 100 acres
for the next high school.
If the Growth Initiative passes, the question may become moot but I would appreciate any thoughts, pro or
con, as to whether we should consider an Annexation Agreement for this application.
Thanks, Ted
