Dear Mr. Waido:
We have reviewed the Vine Business Park Annexation and Zoning, and we
have the following comments.
This proposed annexation is partially located within the "Vine Corridor,"
which is one of the corridors under consideration in the Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statment (SEIS) for the Fort Collins Expressway east of State Highway 287.
The corridor alternatives are shown on the enclosed map with the subject
property shaded red.
We are quite concerned about the potential development of this property
in relation to the Expressway. The Vine Corridor has been supported by
the Larimer County Commissioners and is favored in recent studies of transporation
in northeastern Fort Collins. Since annexation and zoning of this property
would typically be a prelude to its development, we cannot support any city
Action which would conflict with the viability of this corridor.
It is our understanding that the establishment of specific zoning for
this property must occur as part of the annexation process. If the Vine
Corridor is recommended through SEIS process and a route through this property
is selected, the cost of right of way would be higher as a result of this
proposed rezoning. Through coordination with the city and the developer we
would hope to minimize this cost.
