CfTY e'
I represent Ruth E. Burns and the members of her. family.
Mrs. Burns and the members of her family are the owners of .a
parcel of property located in Larimer.County, Colorado, south of
brake Road and west of Overland Trail extended. The Burns family
has petitioned the City of Fort Collins to annex the property.
The Burns family has also submitted a cluster plan for Burns
Ranch at Quail Ridge. At the present time, the second reading
regarding the. Burns annexation is presently scheduled for the
February 19, 1991F City Council meeting. The cluster plan for
Burns Ranch at Quail Ridge is scheduled for final consideration
by the Planning and Zoning Board on February 25, 1991.
One of the issues raised by the development of the Burns
property is the provision of domestic water to the Burns property
and other properties located to the west of Overland Trail
extended. Ruth Burns' son, Rex Burns, is a professional
engineer. Mr. Burns has prepared a Domestic Water Supply Plan
for the Foothills Service Zone. Enclosed please find a copy of
the Domestic Water Supply Plan prepared by Rex Burns. I believe
Mr. Burns has discussed the plan with the appropriate officers of
the Fort Collins/Loveland Water District and with Michael Smith
of the City of Fort Collins Utility Department. Rex Burns has
requested that I forward the document to you for your review:
In reviewing the Domestic Water Supply Plan prepared by Rex
Burns, you will note that the plan includes a proposal -for
funding the costs of the operation and maintenance of the water
supply system through a general improvement district. I have
preliminiarily investigated the possiblity of forming a general.
improvement district to pay the costs of the operation and
maintenance of the water supply system. The general improvement
district appears to be feasible as a mechanism for funding the
costs of operation and maintenance of the water supply system..
After you have had an opportunity to review the Domestic
Water Supply Plan, please call me if you should have questions.
You may also wish to contact Rex Burns directly to discuss the
