Dear Ms. Albertson -Clark: We most strongly oppose the annexation of this property. Recent reports show that there is a gross excess of industrially zoned property in the city limits of Fort Collins. There are many large parcels of land available for annexation within the boundaries of the city. Ron Kresl, of Miscio & Stroud Realty Co., recently made plans for nearly 600 contiguous acres of land within the city boundaries, much of which could be annexed to the city if there were indeed any need for additional industrially zoned land. Leapfrogging to annex additional land can only be for the benefit of an individual land owner, not for the benefit of the city. Currently industrial land in the city limits is being sold for sacrifice prices because of the over supply. It is estimated that there is presently sufficient inventory to last for several years at the present rate of assimilation. Adding to this distressed supply can only exacerbate the problem. For these reasons we respectfully oppose the proposed annexation. We believe it is far better long range planning and much more desirable to utilize land within the boundaries rather than leapfrog over large available parcels for the benefit of one individual land owner. Sincerely, U
