Franz c/o Colorado National Bank of Denver P.O., Box 5169 " Denver, CO 80217 Dear Property Owner, In May of 1980, the governments of Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, officially adopted a land use planning document known as THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR THE FORT COLLINS URBAN GROWTH AREA. The purpose of the urban growth area was to deli- neate an area surrounding the City of Fort Collins which was deemed appro- priate for the development of urban types of land uses and residential densities and the provision of urban levels of public services and facilities. One of the stated intents of the urban growth area agreement was to have urban develop- ment occur within the City of Fort Collins so that the provision of urban level services by Larimer County would be minimized. One of the key implementation agreements reached between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins deals with the annexation of property within the urban growth area. Essentially, the City of Fort Collins has agreed to annex all property within the urban growth area. This annexation agree- ment extends to both voluntary annexations and the involuntary annexation of county enclaves. County enclaves are properties and areas which have been completely surrounded by the city. The State of Colorado's annexation laws allow a municipality to annex county enclaves which have been completely surrounded by the city for three or more years. The property which you own is included within such a county enclave. City staff has prepared an Annexa- tion Petition as the first step in the process of annexing your property. Your property, located south of Harmony Road and west of Timberline Road, has been included in an Annexation Petition called: The Harmony Annexation No. 6. Because City staff is not aware of any immediate development plans for the property, staff has proposed your property be placed into the T-Transition Zoning District. The T Zone designation is for properties which are in a transitional stage with regard to ultimate development. No new development is allowed in the T Zone. The only uses allowed are the uses which existed on the property at the time the T Zone was placed on the property. When the property is ready for development activity, the City will consider a rezoning of the property. 300 LaPorte Avenue - P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 - (303) 221-6750 • The Annexation Petition will be heard by the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board on March 27, 1989. The Board will conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation on the Annexation Petition to the Fort Collins City Council. The City Council will consider official annexation of the property via ordinance on May 2, 1989. County residents and property owners typically have many questions con- cerning the annexation of their property. Enclosed is some information, titled ANNEXATION INFORMATION, which discusses Colorado's Annexation Sta- tutes, taxes, and services and facilities. If you have any questions concerning the proposed annexation of your property, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to address all of your concerns. Sincerely, Kenneth G. Waido Chief Planner 1.
