Box 580 - Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Re: Postponement of Johnson -Harmony Annexation Dear Ron" and Wanda: As both the owner of the 41-acre Johnson Property contiguous to the City limits and the purchaser of the 20-acre LeFever Property, together comprising the Johnson -Harmony Annexation, I am herein requesting a postponement of the Second Reading for this annexation from the scheduled_ . July 20, 1999 meeting of the City Council until the September 21, 1999 meeting-. This annexation sets the stage for additional annexations to the south and east, and in so doing creates an excellent opportunity for a coordinated, approach to land planning and engineering. Before I am comfortable in completing this annexation, I need additional time to be assured that the prerequisite spirit of. cooperation with the prospective users of these adjoining properties exists. I strongly believe that the opportunity for a comprehensive planning approach be preserved. Verytruly yours, Lester M. Kaplan 1060 Sailors Reef • Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 • 970/226-6819• Fax 970/207-9256 Commy 'ty Planning and Environmental Current Planning City of Fort Collins Date: July 14, 1999 To: Mayor and Members of Council From: Ronald G. Fuchs, City Planner Through: John Fischbach, City Manager Subject: . Johnson -Harmony Annexation (City File #4-99) ,rvices Les Kaplan submitted the Johnson -Harmony Annexation on March 17, 1999, for annexation and zoning of approximately 63.265 acres located south of East Harmony Road and east of Cambridge Avenue. The request went to the Fort Collins City Council on July 6, 1999, for first reading, and was scheduled for a July 20, 1999, second reading. Over the past few months, staff has been assisting Les Kaplan and some surrounding property owners with an Overall Development Plan of the area to cooperatively deal with access, storm drainage, and street construction. However, on July 12, 1999, Les Kaplan submitted a request to postpone second reading of his annexation and zoning to September 21, 1999. The Growth Management Lead Team met on July 13, 1999, and discussed the postponement of the Johnson -Harmony Annexation. First, the Johnson -Harmony Annexation establishes the contiguity needed for the Willow Brook First and Second Annexations under review at this time. The Willow Brook Annexations were scheduled to come to the Fort Collins City Council on August 17, 1999, for first reading, and September 7, 1999, for second reading. Second, in lieu of a formal withdraw of the Johnson -Harmony Annexation, the request to postpone the second reading is favored by staff to allow Les Kaplan sufficient time to finalize his cooperative efforts with the surrounding landowners. However, since the Willow Brook Annexations are scheduled for second reading on September 7, 1999, staff would support the postponement of Johnson -Harmony Annexation to September 7, 1999. This compromise would allow a coordinated second reading of all annexations. Based on the applicant's request, there is no risk in delaying second reading of the Johnson -Harmony Annexation on September 7, 1999. In summary, the Johnson -Harmony annexation and zoning request was scheduled to go to the Fort Collins City Council on July 20, 1999, for second reading. However, the applicant's request dated July 12, 1999, to postpone the second reading and staffs review of the applicant's request effectively re-establishes the second reading of the ordinances to annex and zone as September 7, 1999. 281 North College Avenue - P.O.
