Planning and Zoning Board
City of Fort Collins
P, O. Box 580
Fort Collins, CO 80522
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are property owners in areas adjacent to the proposed Galatia annexation. This letter is a statement
of our concerns and recommendations for consideration by the Planning and -Zoning Board. In general,
we feel the developer's revised zoning proposal has failed to assuage our concerns about the density of
the residential development and his commitment to providing aesthetic transitions to the surrounding
existing use.
We have these specific concerns and recommendations:
1. All the current residential development surrounding the proposed project consists of
estate acreage. We propose that a special zoning district be created for the residential
areas which designates the maximum density to be one unit per 3/4 acre, ensuring land
use compatibility in this area outside the Urban Growth Area.
2. The problem of industrial park bordering on residences was addressed in the revised
proposal by using T-transitional zoning. At the Neighborhood -Developer meeting, we
learned that the designation T-transitional could ultimately allow virtually any use. The
developer gave office/business parks and multi -family residential as examples of potential
uses. This designation provides no assurance of use compatible with the surrounding
area.. Therefore, we would like the developer to change the T-transitional zone to IP and
to designate a large (200-300 feet) landscaped green belt area between the industrial park
and these residences.
3. The potential for widening Prospect Road to a 4-5 lane highway presents a threat to
all residences that border Prospect on the south. A very large irrigation ditch runs
parallel to and just yards from Prospect along the eastern half of Galatia's southern
boundary, which would not allow equal land from both sides to expand the road. We
feel that a solution to this problem should be established prior to annexation to ensure the
integrity of existing residences.
4. If the annexation occurs, the city will assume the responsibility of police protection
of the area. With increased residential population, as well as increased traffic to and
through the roadside business and industrial areas, we are concerned about the ability of
the Fort Collins Police Department to adequately serve this fringe area. We are also
concerned about the city's commitment to protecting our area which will be heavily
affected by city growth while remaining_outside-th"ty_bo_undary.
~-Ci. offici ceded the Boxelder Sanitation System is currently used to its
maximum capacity. At the Neighborhood -Developer meeting, the developer indicated his
intention'to connect to that system. The use of the Boxelder System, its capacity and.
expansion plans should%e understood prior to annexation.
