Annexation Impact Report and Fiscal Analysis — Town of Hudson - "Hudson Hills" Location: Northwest corner of Weld County Road 10 and 45 (Beech Street). Size: The subject property consists of 152 +/- acres of vacant land. Characteristics: The property has been historically utilized as agriculture farm ground. The property slopes generally to the southwest corner of the property. Proposal: The property owners and the applicant are seeking annexation and P.D. Sketch Plan approval from the Town of Hudson. s 2 WCR 12 a 9 c.3 11 1-0 3 WCR 10 w 1* U 16 15 14 VICINITY AUP IMPACTS A. Municipal Services. The Hudson Hills development will require certain infrastructure improvements necessary to service the property. Water and sewer lines will be accessed from Beech Street and "looped" through the project. Storm Drainage will be built according to the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual. Those residents that will occupy the homes and units at Hudson Hills will also use recreational and City and County sponsored services. It can be anticipated that residents will use the Weld County Recreation Centers and the Weld County Public Library System. B. Transportation System. With the development of Hudson Hills, one-half(1/2) of Beech Street and one-half(1/2) of WCR 10 will be improved on that area of Beech and WCR 10 that is contiguous to Hudson Hills. Beech Street currently operates as a collector-type street. C. Adjacent Land Uses. To the north of Hudson Hills is a fully developed housing project that is part of the original Town of Hudson. To the east, across Beech Street the property is currently vacant farm ground. The properties immediately to the West are comprised of small acreage lots or ranchettes. Hudson Hills also borders the Burlington Northern Railroad in the northwest corner. Across WCR 10 to the south, much of the surrounding land is vacant and not within the Hudson Comprehensive Plan. D. Public Education. Students from Hudson Hills will attend schools in the RE3J District. A breakdown as to the amount of students produced by the project will be calculated when the total number of lots is determined at the preliminary plat stage. E. Long Range Plan. According to the Hudson Comprehensive Plan, the Hudson Hills property is located in an area designated for residential uses. The applicants are seeking only residential approvals for the subject property. The proposed zoning shall be P.U.D. Most residential development proposals in the Town of Hudson are located within a close proximity of the Hudson Hills property. Those properties include the "Hudson Highlands"project located just North on Beech Street and the Andrews property located East of Hudson Hills. F. Fiscal Impact. The Town of Hudson will collect considerable fees from the construction of the homes on the subject property. These fees include water, sewer, building and impact fees. Property taxes of each house will also be assessed each year. The school district will impose an impact fee per house that will go towards new schools and services. The development of the Hudson Hills property will also contribute and pay for significant infrastructure improvements. Weld county Roads 10 and 45 will be paved and improved from the current gravel base that now exists. Water and sewer lines will need to be accessed and looped through the project. If the Town of Hudson were to attract significant retail, commercial and industrial development, the Town would also benefit from providing adequate housing to potential employees. Major employers tend to take in account the proximity and affordability of local housing when deciding upon a location for business. The Hudson Hills project will fill a need for housing in the Town of Hudson and along the burgeoning I-76 corridor.
