AGENDA ITEM.. SUMMARY IT
DATE: April21, 1998
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL
STAFF: Leanne A. Harter
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:. `
The proposed Lincoln Junior High School I st and 2nd Annexations and Zonings were scheduled to
be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board at the April 2, 1998, hearing. At that hearing, the
item was placed on the consent agenda and was unanimously approved. Later that evening, affected
property owners approached members of the Board concerned. that they had not had an opportunity
to voice their opposition on the proposed annexations and zonings. Asa result, there was a motion
to reconsider the item that evening.
Since the applicant had already left (as the item had been approved as part of the consent agenda),
the Planning and Zoning Board received public testimony and then continued the item to the April
16, 1998, Board hearing.
The issues heard during the public testimony reflected the neighbors' concerns that the annexation
and zoning results in the creation of an enclave, and thus, would result in their annexation in three
(3) years time. In addition, the neighbors questioned the ability of the Poudre School District to
annex via a "flagpole" annexation and whether the contiguity requirements had been satisfied.
As the item will be heard on the April 16, 1998, Planning and Zoning Board hearing date, staff
recommends that the item be postponed to the May 5, 1998, City Council meeting. This
postponement will allow staff to summarize the results of the Planning and Zoning Board hearing
and recommendation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staffrecommends the postponement of the Lincoln Junior High School 1st and 2nd Annexations and
Zonings to May 5, 1998.
