HIGH SCHOOL FIRST ANNEXATION - 13-98 - REPORTS - INITIATING RESOLUTIONSchool district seeks security of city with annexation plan By ROBERT BAUN Jr The Coloradoan a J a `0 Seeking the added protection of the city police, Poudre School Dis- trict plans to have four of its schools annexed into Fort Collins city limits. The four — Mountain View, Irish Elementary-, Tavelli El- ementary and Lincoln Junior High — all are located on the north side of the city. "We feel we can probably have better police protection, because they have more bodies to call on, if we were in the city,' said Ron Daggett, the school district's prop erty manager. (The would-be school an- nexations, which amount to 57 acres, are new proposals and are not reflected on the accompanying city development map.) Daggett said the idea for the annexations hatched out of a reg- ular information -sharing session conducted by school district, city and Larimer County officials. "Phis (annexation effort) is not to say we're unhappy with the sheriffs department; that's not the case at all," Daggett said - Both the city police and county sheriff agencies have endorsed the district's effort, he said. The annexations provide an ad- ditional value of less -expensive utilities for the schools, he said. For instance, Lincoln, located on Vine Drive, currently receives electric service from Public Ser- vice Co. of Colorado. Upon coming into city limits. the school can utilize the city's municipal power. With its request for annexation, the school district joins a ripple of annexations expected in 1998. Not counting the school sites, the city is processing six annexations totaling 231.9 acres. The six an- roR Watch nexations range in size from half - an -acre (Fort Collins Business Center, No. 9 on map. located at E8) to 179 acres (Pine Ridge, No.34, I3). Unlike past years, pressure for development isn't the major reason for the annexations. In the case of the school district, its security. Also, the city has ag- gressively sought to bring en- claves, including the 179-acre Pine Ridge site, into city limits. Enclaves are pieces of land that have been mostly surrounded by city limits but remain in the county. If the addition of 231.9 acres sounds like the city is bloating, Square miles Following are the land areas, in square miles, of seiecled Frorr, Range cities (1995 figures): ■ Lonamont— 16.16 ■ Loveland — 23.8 ■ Boulder — 25.11 ■ Greeley — 28.53 ■ Fort Collins — 4459 ■ Aurora—138.89 ■ Colorado Springs —186.3 Source: Colorado Department of Local Affairs r consider how Fort Collins grew in the 1980s: In that decade the city's lan:: area nearly doubled, spreading from 21.65 square miles to 40.c5 square miles. Since the beginnu-e of 1990, annexations have ir:- creased the city's size anotne: 10.4 percent to 44.9 square miles. And there's more to come — eventually. Under an agreement with the county, the city is expected to annex to fill out its urban growth area of 70 square miles.
