Dear Mr. Prenzlow:
12 June 1998
Thank you for your recent visit to our offices to inquire into the proposed Lincoln
Junior High School annexations and possible impacts to your property. As we
discussed, the proposed annexations do not create an enclave which the City
would seek involuntary annexation within a three year period.
In order for an enclave to be created,,the area must be completely surrounded
on all sides by existing development located within the City limits. The right-of-
way along Vine Drive does not create an enclave situation as there is no
development within the City limits located adjacent to Vine Drive.
As I stated, if a property owner is located adjacent to City limits, and he/she .
wishes to develop on his/her property, the County would direct that individual to
the City to pursue voluntary annexation. According to the requirements outlined
in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area, the
City would be obligated to accept and process such an application.
The proposed Lincoln Junior High School and neighborhood is an area wherein
the low -intensity nature. of existing development has been recognized in the City
Structure Plan, and does not appear to be a direction in which the City of Fort
Collins is considering forced annexations. Any annexations would be strictly
voluntary, brought forth by the property owners.
Again, thank you for your recent visit. I hope that I have addressed your
concerns, and if you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact
me at 221-6750.
Best regards,
Leanne A. Harter, AICP
City Planner
