RE: I-25 Second Annexation
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 consists of 100.14 acres
of Interstate 25 right-of-way located between State Highway 14 and the
Poudre River crossing. The proposed annexation will be known as the
1-25 Second Annexation.
It is the City's policy to annex properties within the Urban Growth Area
when they become eligible for annexation.. This portion of I-25
right-of-way is contiguous to the Sludge Farm and Interstate Land
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 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
