Furthermore,we, the undersigned, respectfully submit,we have
witnessed an adequate and fairly constant presence of the
Fort Collins City Police force in our community under the
ongoing arrangement between the Larimer County Sheriff's
department and the Fort Collins City Police. We contend that
given the aforementioned facts relative to safety issues,
the School districts reasons for petitioning for annexation
is without merit.
Furthermore, we, the undersigned owners of property,which
will be adversely impacted by the Lincoln Jr High Second
Annexation proposal, respectfully submit the Fort Collins
City Planning department misrepresented the facts relative
to increased taxation,if the Lincoln Jr High Second
Annexation proposal is approved. It naturally follows,when
additional responsibility falls to any government body,that
added responsibility must create additional costs.
Additional cost naturally dictates demand for more taxes to
pay for those additional services.
We,the undersigned,having been residents of the community
for several years,have observed considerable street
improvement activity by the Fort Collins street department.
It naturally follows,if the Lincoln Jr High Second
Annexation proposal is approved, the Third Annexation
would follow close on it's heels. Furthermore,we. the
undersigned, respectfully submit, annexation into the City
of Fort Collins would destroy the feeling and flavor of
Country living which we now enjoy.
Furthermore, we, the undersigned, respectfully submit,
annexation into the City of Fort Collins would not provide
a benefit of any kind to we, the property owners, who would
be adversely affected by such annexation.
Therefore,we, the undersigned, petition the Fort Collins
City Council to yield to the wishes of the majority of
property owners adversely affected by the Lincoln Jr High
Second Annexation proposal,and consider that forcing
annexation on unwilling property owners and taxpayers,can
only breed ill will between those Council members who vote
to approve annexation over the wishes of the majority in
the community affected by annexation,and the taxpayer.

the UE-Urban Estate zone district. The purpose of the UE zone is described in the
Land Use Code as being:
"intended to be a setting for a predominance of low -density and large -lot

as parts of the community and to provide additional locations for similar
development, typically in transitional locations between more intense urban
development and rural or open lands."
Public and private schools for elementary, intermediate and high school education are
permitted uses in the UE zone district. The proposed zoning is consistent with City
Plan.
3. Compliance with State law:
The annexation has 20% of its perimeter boundary contiguous with existing City limits,
which complies with the minimum 1/6th contiguity as required by State law.
FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSION:
The Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning is consistent with the
policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins, as
contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth
Area.
2. The Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning meets all criteria
included in State law to qualify for annexation by the City of Fort Collins.
3. The requested UE-Urban Estate zone district is in conformance with the policies
of the City's Comprehensive Plan (City Plan).

COMMENTS:
1. Background
The Poudre School District ("the Applicant") submitted a written petition requesting a
100% voluntary annexation and zoning of approximately 48.7 acres in size and is
located on West Vine Drive, between North Shields Street and North Taft Hill Road.
The existing use of the property is an elementary school.
This is a voluntary annexation, located within the Urban Growth Area of the City of Fort
Collins. The City may annex property located within the Urban Growth Area Boundary,
provided that the property has 1/6th contiguity with the existing City boundary. The
proposed Lincoln Junior High 2nd Annexation and Zoning complies with this
requirement. The property has 2,899.84 feet of its total boundary length of 14,692.19
feet (20%) contiguous to existing City limits. This exceeds the minimum 2,448.70 feet
required to achieve 1/6th contiguity.
The contiguity to existing City limits is gained from the following common boundaries:
S: Lincoln Junior High 1st Annexation
N: Lincoln Junior High 1st Annexation
The annexation and zoning of the Lincoln Junior High School is being accomplished
through sequential annexations in order to gain the required 1/6th contiguity to existing
City limits. The Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning is the second of
two annexations regarding the Lincoln Junior High School.
According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer
County contained in the Intergovemmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban
Growth Area, the City will consider the annexation of property in the Urban Growth Area
when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. The resolution
initiating annexation proceedings was adopted by City Council on March 17, 1998.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: FA -Farming (County zoning) -large lot residential
S: FA -Farming (County zoning) -existing single-family residential
E: FA -Farming (County zoning) -existing single-family residential (Granada
Heights)
W: FA -Farming (County zoning) -large lot residential

The proposed zoning for the Lincoln Junior High 2nd Annexation and Zoning is UE-
Urban Estate. The recommended zoning is consistent with City Plan Principles and
Policies for the Urban Estate district, and complies with the designation on the City
Structure Plan.
The City Council adopted a resolution initiating annexation proceedings on March 17,
1998, and is scheduled for first reading by City Council on April 21, 1998.
