Dear Mr. Jewett,
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 the
City of Fort Collins which was deemed appropriate 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 development occur
within the City of Fort Collins in order 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 agreement
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 canpletely
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
Annexation Petition as the first step in the process of annexing your prop-
erty.
Your property, located on north of Richards Lake, has been included in an
Annexation Petition called: The Jewett Annexation.
City staff has proposed your property be placed into the R-L-P, Low Density
Planned Residential, zoning district.

The Annexation Petition will be heard by the Fort Collins Planning and Zon-
ing Board on July 27, 1987. The meeting will begin at 6:30 PM and will be
held in the Council Chambers of the New Municipal Building at 300 Laporte
Avenue. The Board will conduct a public hearing and will make a recommend=
ation on the Annexation Petition to the Fort Collins City Council. The City
Council will consider official annexation of the property via ordinance in
September of 1987.
I know you will probably have many questions concerning the proposed annex-
ation of your property. Please feel free to contact me and I will do my
best to address all of your concerns.
Sincerely,
A�P- ��
