Dear Mr. Waido:
Larmer Co. - 1 25
Front Range Farms II
Annex. and Zoning
NE of E. Vine Dr.
and I-25
DOH FILE 45100
We have reviewed the Front Range Farms II Annexation and Zoning, and
we have the following comments.
This proposed annexation is located.east of Interstate 25 but within
the "Vine Corridor," which is one of the corridors under consideration in
the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Fort Collins
Expressway east of State Highway 287. The corridor alternatives are shown
on the enclosed map.
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.
