Thank you for your letter of September 27, 1989 regarding the above
captioned project. Since you took the time to review this proposal,
the County staff would like to make you aware of our position on this
matter.
As you know, the preliminary plat and waiver of the off -site street
capacity requirements were considered at the time that the original
Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area was
about to expire. Legal counsel for the County was of the opinion that
the waiver request would be decided by the Board of County
Commissioners pursuant to the provisions of the new Intergovernmental
Agreement. The County Commissioners were aware of the action of City
Council but accepted this information as a recommendation and approved
the waiver as proposed. Of course the preliminary plat was also
conditionally approved.
We are also confronted with the vested rights issue in this case. The
preliminary plat vests, pursuant to state statute, under County
regulations, therefore we do not have an opportunity to change
conditions of approval at this time. If the applicant proposes any
significant changes to the preliminary plat or if the vesting runs out,
we can impose any appropriate new conditions at that time.
Given the circumstances, the County staff will recommend to the Board
of County Commissioners that they approve the proposed one-year time
extension with the same conditions that were originally imposed,
including the approval of the waiver of the off -site street capacity
requirements. If you have any questions, please contact me at your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Al Kadera
Subdivision Administrator
