Residents of the Fox Hills subdivision have funded the necessary alleet improvements within the annexation boundary and have coordinated these improvements with City staff: , • , The Fox Hills neighborhood was developed in two phases. The §e�ojx(pjse is IQcpted east of Red Fox Road, and this phase was annexed into the City in 1994 as a precursor to Cit?dedekapment approval. The initial portion of the Fox Hills development is the subject of this annexation and is located wesf of9ed Fox Road. This portion was developed in the County and was not eligible for annekelt0m'fit the time of development. e r� Because a portion of the Fox Hills development is intl%City and the.other portion is in the County, this is causing issues for the residents and the Fox Hills HOA which are culiw—tly responsible for the long term road maintenance within the County portions of the development. Because the Fox Hills HOA is currently divided between owners that are located within the City (FoxNills FirstiaaiRexation) and those that are outside of the City in Larimer County west of Red Fox Road, this cWpN divjsion between City and County is not logical for maintenance across the HOA. This annexativRwould uriiq the Fbx Hills HOA so that all property would be within the City of Fort Collins. P non Staff also recommends that thisi5Foperty be included.in.the Residential Neighborhood Sign District, which is a typical provision with the annexation of residential developments. ° CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS There are no direct firlarleial impa'ota-Os a result of the prppbsed annexation.
