I FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF• Ken Waido
SUBJECT:
Items Pertaining to the Ridge Annexation and Zoning.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the annexation and R-L-P zoning. The Planning
and Zoning Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the annexation and
R-L-P zoning.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 56, 1989, Annexing Approximately 187.66
Acres, Known as the Ridge Annexation.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 57, 1989, Zoning Approximately 187.66
Acres, Known as the Ridge Annexation, into the R-L-P, Low Density
Planned Residential, Zoning District.
This is a request to annex and zone approximately 187.66 acres located
south of Harmony Road and west of Shields Street. The requested zoning is
the R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential, Zoning District. This is the
annexation of an enclave area. The property is presently developed
residentially as part of the Ridge PUD and various other residential
properties along Shields Street. Existing signs on the property will need
to conform to the City's Sign Code at the conclusion of a five year
amortization period.
APPLICANT: City of Fort Collins OWNERS: See attached list.
BACKGROUND:
The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area.
According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and
Larimer County contained in the INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR THE FORT
COLLINS URBAN GROWTH AREA, the City will annex property in the UGA when the
property is eligible for annexation according to State law.
The area to be annexed is a county enclave. The following annexations to
the City of Fort Collins created the enclave:
-2-
N: Horsetooth-Harmony West Annexation, June 1980
E: Voc Tech/Smith Annexation, February 1986
S: Seven Springs/Hahn Annexation, April 1986
W: Seven Springs/Hahn Annexation, April 1986
This area will be eligible for involuntary annexation into the city any
time after April 1, 1989. Staff initiated the annexation process in order
to complete the process at the April 4, 1989, City Council meeting. On
January 31, 1989, staff sent a letter to the property owners informing them
of the pending annexation, potential zoning district designation,
information about City electric rates in comparison to REA rates, and the
meeting date of review by the Planning and Zoning Board. A copy of the
letter and the included information is attached. A key to the timing of
this annexation is the date of April 22, 1989. At that time the
compensation payment the City must make to REA changes and customers
annexed into the City before April 22 can save significant amounts on their
monthly electric bills. Staff received several subsequent phone calls and
met personally with several property owners to discuss the issues related
to the annexation.
Zoning:
The requested zoning for this annexation is the R-L-P, Low Density Planned
Residential Zoning District. The R-L-P District designation is for areas
planned as a unit to provide variation in use, density and building
placement. The property is currently developed residentially as part of
the Ridge PUD and various other residential properties located along
Shields Street. There is the potential for some redevelopment of
properties along Shields Street. The R-L-P zone would allow the
development of detached single-family homes through the subdivision
process. Any higher density residential uses and/or non-residential
development in the R-L-P zone would have to be proposed as a PUD and
reviewed against the criteria of THE LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM.
Findings:
I. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and
agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins
contained in the INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR THE FORT COLLINS URBAN
GROWTH AREA.
The area meets all criteria included in State law to qualify for
annexation by the City of Fort Collins.
On February 7, 1989, the City Council passed Resolution 89-27 setting
forth the intent to annex this property. The Resolution also indicated
that the first readings of the ordinances annexing and zoning the
property will be considered by the City Council on March 21, 1989.
Second readings will be considered on April 4, 1989.
4. The requested R-L-P Zoning District is in conformance with the policies
of the City's Comprehensive Plan.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the annexation and R-L-P zoning.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Board, at its regular monthly meeting on February
27, 1989, voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the annexation and R-L-P
zoning. A copy of the Board's minutes is attached. Several property
owners asked questions and raised issues about the annexation at the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting. These are discussed below.
Kilminster - Bee Keeping Issue.
Mr. Al Kilminster, property owner and resident included in the annexation,
indicated that he raises bees on his property and asked if the keeping of
bees was allowed under City Code. City Code Chapter 4, Animals and
Insects, Division 2. Bees, contains Section 4-226. Keeping of bees
prohibited., which states:
"The keeping by any person of bee hives in the city is declared to be a
menace to the health and safety of the residents of the city and is
hereby declared a nuisance and prohibited."
Staff investigated the possibility of allowing the continuation of the
keeping of the bees under the non -conforming use provision of the zoning
code. However, the common law, while providing for the continuation of
non -conforming uses, does not permit a use which is declared to be a
nuisance to be continued under the guise of a non -conforming use.
Since Section 4-226 of City Code declares bees to be a menace to health and
safety and a nuisance, the keeping of bees as a non -conforming use would
not be allowed.
There are two options for the Council to consider in order to deal with the
beekeeping issue:
1. Annex the property and require the property owner to remove the bees.
2. Annex the property and amend Section 4-226 to allow the keeping of bees
under certain conditions, such as, minimum lot size, set back
requirements, requirements for bee fences, etc. We would be able to
provide a proposed ordinance to implement this option at the April 4,
1989 Council meeting.
Thayer - Raising of Livestock Issue.
Mr. Sanford Thayer, property owner included in the annexation, indicated
his property was actually used for farming operations/the raising of
livestock and questioned the impact of the annexation on the continuation
of those activities. Again, continuation of legal uses of a property are
covered under the non -conforming use provisions of the zoning code.
However, Mr. Thayer indicated the type of livestock raised on the property
could change from year to year, one year the property could be used to
-4-
raise cattle, the next year sheep, etc. Mr. Thayer questioned if he ceased
to raise a specific type of livestock for a period of a year, or longer,
would the zoning code prohibit the reintroduction of that type of livestock
at some point in the future. According to City Code, a non -conforming use
may not be discontinued for a period of a year, or longer, and be legally
reintroduced on the same property at some future date.
We recommend that the property be annexed into the R-L-P Zone, and
consider the "raising of livestock" the existing use of the property,
independent of the specific type of livestock, and allow the
continuation of the use under the non -conforming provision of the
zoning code. Under this option it would be advisable to enter into an
agreement with the landowner stipulating to the species of livestock
permitted as a non -conforming use, the maximum number of head of each
species, and the maximum aggregate number of head. Also, seasonal
usage might be addressed. Such a stipulation would avoid some
potential for dispute in the future.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING MINUTES
FEBRUARY 27, 1989
THE RIDGE ANNEXATION AND ZONING
Ken Waido gave a brief summary of the proposal. The annexation included
The Ridge PUD, a residential project approved in the county and several other
properties. He noted the property in question was an enclave annexation and
cited the policies in the UGA Agreement. He stated the zoning for the prop-
erty was proposed as R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential. He stated that
the property owners were notified of the annexation in January and in addi-
tion to the letter, information which dealt with the annexation, taxes, land use,
zoning, utilities, electrical service information, and street maintenance was
included. Staff recommended the approval of the annexation and zoning.
Member Burns asked if the property was in the Fort Collins/Loveland Water
District.
Mr. Waido replied yes. He explained the annexation policies in the UGA
Agreement and believed the City had annexed over 20 county enclaves in the
past three years, the largest being Skyline Acres on Horsetooth Rd. and Shields
St. He stated the Ridge property was the largest county subdivision to be an
enclave annexation.
Member Edwards asked about the economical ramifications to the residents. 41
Mr. Waido stated the property tax would increase for the property owners. At
the conclusion of the annexation procedure, the County Assessors Office would
apply the City's 8.797 mill levy and subtract the 8.777 mill levy of the Poudre
Fire Authority. The net increase was .02 of a mill. He stated the sales tax
would be an impact, as property owners would be required to pay sales tax on
large ticket items, such as an automobile or large appliances. He stated the
utilities could remain with one exception, that being electrical. A septic
system must be connected to a public system if and when it failed. He said
all other mill levys, school districts, and hospital districts would not change.
He believed that most questions from property owners dealt with whether, upon
annexation, streets would need to be upgraded to City standards. The answer
was no. The streets could remain as long as the residents were satisfied with
that level of service. The City would do maintenance service, such as
potholes but the City will not absorb the burden if, in the future, the street
needed to be reconstructed. He believed the Ridge Homeowners Association
recently overlayed their streets.
Member Burns asked if the residents would pay monthly storm drainage fees.
Mr. Waido replied yes, upon annexation.
Larry Gray, Vice President of the Ridge Homeowners Association, stated the
Homeowners Board was resigned to annexation by the City. He urged the
Planning and Zoning Board to proceed with the annexation, making it effective
prior to April 22, when a surcharge of 25% would be applied to the residents
current power rates.
Bert Petrie, resident, asked what would become of the 30 acres of green belt
which was owned by the Homeowners Association.
Mr. Eckman stated the ownership status would not change.
Mr. Petrie asked if they could limit access to the open space to the residents
of the Ridge.
Mr. Eckman answered yes.
Member Edwards noted that the same rights applied to the green belt area as
applied to individual lots.
Al Kilminster, resident, would rather not be annexed as he believed he would
pay more in taxes and fees in the City. He stated he raised bees and believed
this was against the code of the City and believed he would have to get rid of
them. He stated the RLP zoning would leave the area open to PUDs. He
envisioned condos, and 7-11 stores.
Mr. Eckman stated that the keeping of bees within the City limits was declared
a menace to residents and declared a nuisance and prohibited. He noted that
under a Non -Conforming Use provision, that legally existing uses prior to
annexation were allowed to continue unless abandoned. He was not prepared
to state that a nuisance in the Non -Conforming Use provision would be
allowed to continue.
Mr. Kilminster pointed out that he had 8 hives and the surrounding area was
pasture.
Chairwomen O'Dell asked who would make the decision as to whether the
hives could remain.
Mr. Peterson stated it would be up to the Zoning Administrator to decide, after
consultation with the City Attorney's Office and Planning Staff.
Lloyd Bjorlo, resident, asked when the effective date for this annexation would
be.
Mr. Waido stated City Council would consider the second reading on April 4.
He said the effective date would be April 14, if approved.
Sanford Thayer, a trustee of 20% of the land proposed for annexation, asked
what the impact of storm drainage fees would be on 35 acres, which contained
one house and a mobilehome.
Mr. Waido did not believe it would be a major impact as it was a predom-
inantly vacant piece of land.
Member Burns stated it would be $243 a month for a storm drainage mainte-
nance fee. He said that if the property were to be developed, drainage fees
would apply at approximately $3,500 per acre.
Mr. Waido stated he would meet with the storm drainage department and
address Mr. Thayer's concerns.
Mr. Thayer requested that his 35 acres be withdrawn from the annexation
petition. The acreage was farmland and will continue to be used as farmland.
The requested zoning was not compatible with the existing uses. He noted that
the type of land uses changed, as different types of livestock were pastured
there.
Mr. Waido noted that the RE zone allowed livestock and that Mr. Thayer's
property could be zoned differently than the rest of the site.
Mr. Thayer stated he would prefer the RLP zoning, with a record which would
reflect the variety of land uses which existed at the time of annexation.
Mr. Eckman stated the prior uses were non -conforming and would be allowed
to continue to exist.
Mr. Thayer asked if past land uses, such as 60 head of cattle, would constitute
prior use.
Mr. Eckman stated the definitions of Non -Conforming Uses and believed that
the typical amount of cattle, rather than a counting of heads on April 14
would be used.
Mr. Thayer requested that the record show that in the past, the property had
seen up to 60 head of cattle and 35 head of horses.
Mr. Eckman noted that residents may contest the statement, and would hesitate
to state that the City would be bound to that statement.
Mr. Thayer asked that his property be exempted from the planned annexation.
Mike Myshatya, resident, appreciated the information sent to the residents but
wished to received more information on storm drainage fees.
Mr. Peterson stated the amount would be $2-3 and that larger fees were
assessed as the property developed. He stated that staff would send them the
information.
Mr. Myshatya asked that the information be sent to Mr. Gray and the Home-
owners Association.
Mr. Eckman believed that staff should visit Mr. Thayer's property to note the
uses. In respect to the bee issue, he had concerns about using the Code
provisions for a Non -Conforming Use to allow a possible nuisance.
Member Edwards asked if the problem could be resolved with a variance. 0
•
0
•
Mr. Eckman stated that the code did not provide for a use variance in city
limits and a variance would not change its prohibition.
Member Edwards had concerns that Mr. Kilminster's bee -keeping had been done
with no apparent complaints and now he had no alternative to continue that
activity.
Mr. Peterson stated that further investigation would be needed to resolve Mr.
Kilminster's concerns.
Member Kern moved to recommend approval to City Council the Ridge Annex-
ation and Zoning. Member Edwards seconded the motion.
Member Edwards asked if a separate motion was needed for Mr. Thayer's
objection to the annexation of his property.
Mr. Waldo replied no.
Chairperson O'Dell noted that Mr. Thayer may make his objections known to
City Council, who have the final authority.
The motion to approve passed 7-0.

City of Fort Collins
January 31, 1989
Dear Property Owner,
In May of 1980, the governments of Larimer County and the City of Fort Col-
lins, 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 delineate an
area surrounding Fort Collins which was deemed appropriate for the develop-
ment 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 development occur within the
City in order that the provision of urban level services by the County would
be minimized.
One of the key implementation agreements reached between the County and the
City deals with the annexation of property within the urban growth area.
Essentially, the City has agreed to annex all property within the urban growth
area. This annexation agreement extends to both voluntary annexations and
the involuntary annexation of county enclaves. County enclaves are 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 for three or more years. Property which you own,
and generally located south of Harmony Road and west of Shields Street, is
included within such a county enclave. City staff has prepared an Annexation
Petition as the first step in the process of annexing your property.
More specifically, all properties located either within or adjacent to the Ridge
PUD, have been included in an Annexation Petition called: The Ridge Annexa-
tion.
City staff has also proposed your property be placed into the R-L-P, Low
Density Planned Residential, Zoning District. The R-L-P zone is for areas
planned as a unit to provide variation in use, density and building placement.
The following uses are allowed within the R-L-P zone:
(1) Single-family dwellings;
(2) Public and private schools for elementary and high school education;
(3) Public and nonprofit quasi -public recreational uses as a principal use,
(4) Essential public utility and public services installations and facilities
for the protection and welfare of the surrounding area, provided that
business offices and repair and storage facilities are not included;

Light and Power
ELECTRIC SERVICE INFORMATION
The City of Fort Collins provides electric service to all areas within the
City limits. Following annexation, the City purchases electric facilities
from the Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association (PVREA) and assumes respon-
sibility for providing electric service to the customers within the annexed
area. State law dictates payment formulas for the purchase of this electrical
equipment. The City Light and Power Utility is responsible for the payment of
these costs.
In addition, state law requires a payment for service rights to PVREA for all
services within the annexation. The service rights fees are equal to 25% of
the City's revenue for electric service to all existing customers within the
annexation. The service rights fees are 5% of the City's electric service
revenue for all new customers added within the area following annexation.
Service rights fees end ten years after the electric facilities are purchased
from PVREA by the City. The service rights fees are collected from annexed
customers through the City's electrical rates. The fees apply to customers
annexed after April 22, 1989.
Some county residents are not happy about the idea of being annexed to the
City. This seems to vary from family to family. However, Fort Collins Light
and Power wants to make sure you are aware that this particular area would be
able to save some money in future electrical bills if the annexation occurs
before April 22, 1989.
The attached tables compare the City's residential electric service rates
with PVREA's residential rate. Comparisons are shown for customers annexed
before and after April 22, 1989.
EXAMPLE:
CITY RATES CITY RATES
IF ANNEXED IF ANNEXED PVREA
KWH/MO KW BEFORE 4/22 AFTER 4/22 RATES
1200 9.8 $60.62 $75.77 $74.05
Thus in this example, the customer would pay $60.62 per month if annexed
before April or $75.77 if annexed after April, a savings of $15 per month.
If you have any questions concerning the City's electric service or if you
would like your bills calculated on Light and Power rates, please call Ellen
Alward, Administrative Services Manager, at 221-6700.

City of Fort Collins
February 15, 1989
Dear Property Owner,
The purpose of this letter is to clarify the Electric Service Information
sent from the City of Fort Collins to property owners of the pending Ridge
Annexation. The information in this letter was provided to the Planning
Department by the City's Light and Power Utility Service.
All information provided by the City to property owners is accurate and
correct; however, the letter sent to property owners from Mr. Carey of the
Poudre Valley REA requires clarification in several areas.
1. REFERENCE: Mr. Carey's statement that the Residential Service Rate
should be applied to customers without demand controllers.
It was entirely appropriate for the City to use the residential demand rate
for comparison purposes. The City's demand rate is recommended for most
electric heat customers and other residents using excess of 900 kWh per month.
PVREA's letter implies that in order to benefit from the demand rate, a
customer would have to purchase a load demand controller. This is not the
case. The City has about 5,000 residential demand customers but only about
200 of the customers have demand controllers. Most large residential customers
choose the demand rate and achieve considerable savings.
As noted in the City's rate comparisons, the kW demands used to calculate
the billings are the average demands experienced by the City's demand rate
customers at the given kWh consumption levels. An individual customer may
have higher or lower monthly demands than the average for their kWh con-
sumption level. Customers with demand controllers would experience substan-
tially higher savings (about 25 percent) than the average customer indicated in
the tables.
2. REFERENCE: PVREA April 1, 1989 rate reduction.
The rate comparisons provided by the City were based on current PVREA
rate schedules. The City was not aware that a PVREA rate reduction had
been approved for April, 1989. The PVREA letter calculated their costs based
on this decrease. Thus, there was a $1.45 discrepancy in PVREA's charges at
1200 kWh. A revised comparison is attached using PVREA's future rates.
(The City has continued to utilize the demand rate for comparison purposes.)
;t10 L,Worte :Venue • P.O. B„t ;80 • Pert Collins, Co S0322-0580 • (103) 221-F7:;O
0 3. REFERENCE: Future City Rates.
•
•
No electric rate increases are projected in the City's 1989 - 1993 long
range electric utility plan.
In conclusion, the Electric Service Information sheet sent by the City to
property owners of the pending Ridge Annexation was an accurate reflection
of the City's available rates and current PVREA rates. Customers who have or
acquire demand controllers would see greater savings. It was clearly stated in
the information provided to property owners that sales taxes are not included.
If you have further questions concerning the annexation or information
provided, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Kenneth G. Waido
Chief Planner
