HomeMy WebLinkAboutLINCOLN JR. HIGH SCHOOL FIRST ANNEXATION - 13-98 - CORRESPONDENCE - CITIZEN COMMUNICATION (8)TO POUDRE R-1 AND CITY AND COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING
QUESTIONS; GENERAL AND SPECIFIC REGARDING
WEST VINE/LINCOLN JR HIGH ANNEXATION
1 Is public school land public?
2 If public school land is public, Why is the East side of Lincoln
Jr High completely closed to public access?
3 Why is the fire hydrant fenced off in the rear of Lincoln?
4 If the School District is not a developer, what is their
responsibility, liability and duties in regards to:
Fences
Ball Fields
Public access
Public Rest rooms (currently 2 porta potties for 3 fields)
Parking and Water runnoff from parking
Legal due process regarding Lighting the ball fields
Legal -due process regarding future expansion
Traffic Impact studies, storm water runnoff studies
Communication with Neighbors and adjacent land owners
5 If Lincoln Jr High and West Vine drive are annexed, Will this
trigger Street oversizing? What about safety, sidewalks?
And as the SCHOOL DISTRICT is not a developer, who will pay for
this "IMPROVEMENT"?
There is a strong conflict of responsibilty with the West Vine
Drainage district now forming and the large amount of runnoff
generated from Lincoln Jr High. What agency will decree curbs
/gutters or large storm drains/curbs/gutters or updating
of the present system of ditches and culverts?
6 If the presence of Police is the issue on the annexation, why
can't the city police be deputized with the county to handle
this problem.
7 Annexation creates a problem with emergency services to the
whole area. If the students start a fight on the street and move
to private land are the Lar sheriff dept called or city police?
Private residents calling 911 on West Vine Drive automatically
are connected to county law inforcement not city.
Who plows the snow, fixes the potholes?
8 Is there a GRAND PLAN ? Why isn't it public knowledge?
9 Does InterGoverment policy mean deliberate confusion? UGA also?
10 Why is legal due process (notification, variances, annexation,
permits, and storm water) applied only to private land owners
and developers and not to other entities?
THE REASON FOR ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND DISTRUST IS THAT WE FEEL,
MORE THAN THE NEIGHBORS, THAT WE ARE BEING STEAM ROLLED FROM THE
COUNTY, CITY AND POUDRE R-1 NOT TO MENTION THE NEW WEST VINE
STORM WATER DRAINAGE BASIN.
