RE: State Highway Annexations
Dear Mr. Jacobson:
The City of Fort Collins would like to annex a parcel of land owned by the
State Department of Highways. The property is 2.6348 acres of Highway 14
right of way contiguous to existing city limits located southwest of the Poudre
River. The proposed annexation is known as Highway 14 East Third Annexa-
tion.
It is the city's policy to annex properties within the Urban Growth Area when
they become eligible for annexation. Having these properties under the city's
jurisdiction makes it easier to plan long term capital improvements and also
insures that new development will be designed to meet city standards. This
particular annexation is more a matter of housekeeping. The city limit is
contiguous to this piece of right of way on both the east and west sides. By
annexing this property the City will establish the city limits at one point on
along Highway 14.
This action is not being taken for the sole purpose of acquiring jurisdiction
over private property. Our office has prepared the petition package according
to your Procedural Directive No. 1303.1 dealing with annexation of Department
land to a city or town. Additional information required by the District is
summarized below.
(a) The Department of Highways will not be subject to taxes or
assessments by special improvement districts.
(b) Water and sewer is presently available through the East Larimer
Water District and the Boxelder Sanitation District.
(c) The City of Fort Collins shall be the issuing authority on access
matters. The Department of Highways would review access pro-
posals and issue the required Access Permits to the City. All
access considerations shall be resolved pursuant to Section
42-2-147(5)(a), C.R.S., and the State Highway Access Code 2 CCR
601-1.

(d) The City of Fort Collins shall assume the primary responsibility
for traffic law enforcement, and accident investigations within
the annexed area.
The petition package is enclosed for your review. Thank you for your consider-
ation and please call if you have any questions regarding this annexation
proposal.
Sincerely,
Linda Ripley
Senior City Planner
