Dear Mr. Waldo:
We have reviewed the Frontage Road Industrial Associates, Ltd. Annexa-
tion and Zoning request, and we have the following comments.
This proposed annexation is located within the "Vine Corridor", which
is one of the corridors under consideration in the Supplemental Envi-
ronmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Fort Collins Expressway east
of State Highway 287. The corridor alternatives are shown on the en-
closed 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 transportation 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.
