CITY COUNCIL (Continued)
VIII. Detail of Issue/Request:
Campbell's C-Ment Contracting Inc. of Arvada, Colorado has submitted an annexation petition
for the annexation of approximately 190.72±acres located north of 14"' Street and west of the
Platte River. This initiating resolution is the first step in the annexation process. If Council
adopts the resolution to accept the petition, the petitioner will move on to the next step. Step
two includes review of the proposed Annexation, initial zoning (to PUD), and Master Plan by the
Development Review Team. Step three is a public hearing and review of the same by the
Planning Commission who will provide Council with a recommendation. City Council is then
required to conduct a public hearing and act upon the request by ordinance, as the final step in
the process.
Annexation of this property was the discussed at the Planning Commission meeting on April 8,
2003. The Commission generally agreed that it would be in the best interest of the City to
consider annexation of the site. A copy of the minutes is attached.
IX. Legal/Political Considerations:
State law and the Fort Lupton Municipal Code require the City Council to set a hearing date for
the annexation request. The Council hearing date must be not less than 30 days and not more
than 80 days from the date of this initiating resolution. Staff recommends that the date for the
City Council public hearing be set for October 27, 2004. This date will allow time for the
Planning Commission to conduct their public hearing and make a recommendation on
September 28, 2004.
Chapter 15, Section 15-3 (2) of the Fort Lupton Municipal Code states that after the annexation
petition and all required supportive information has been submitted to the Planning Department
the annexation petition and a resolution initiating annexation procedures shall be presented to
the City Council This is the first step in the annexation process and will establish a timeline for
public hearings on this annexation request
According to State annexation law, if the Council finds the annexation petition and the
annexation map in substantial conformance with Section 31-12-107 C.R.S. (attached) a
resolution may be adopted to initiate annexation proceedings. Section 31-12-107 outlines the
requirements for a proper annexation petition and the supporting annexation map. It is the
opinion of staff that the petition and annexation map meet the requirements of Section 31-12-
107 C.R.S. A finding of substantial conformance does not imply that the Council agrees that the
property should be annexed; however, a finding that the petition and map do not conform to the
requirements is effectively a denial. Staff believes that the petition and annexation map are in
substantial conformance with such requirements.
CITY OF FORT LUPTON AM 2004-094
CITY COUNCIL (Continued)
X. Alternatives/Options:
The City Council has three options. Those options are as follows:
1. Approve the resolution accepting the annexation petition and initiating the annexation
proceedings.
2. Reject the annexation petition at which time the annexation request will not move
forward.
Delay action on the resolution to gather more information on the project or impacts to the
City.
Xi. Financial Considerations:
Application fees of$2,262.88 have been paid to offset the cost of review and processing by City
staff, and public notice requirements. Upon annexation the City will be required to provide
urban services such as police protection and road maintenance. The City currently provides
road maintenance for a portion of the haul route being 14"' Street from the Platte River to US
Highway 85.
A key part of the annexation review process is to determine future public improvements that
may be required to mitigate the impacts created by development of the property. If Council
approves the resolution accepting the annexation petition, staff will begin working with the
petitioner to identify those public improvements. Public improvements and responsibility for such
improvements will be part of the Annexation Agreement that must be approved by the City
Council and agreed to by the applicant. Typically it is the responsibility of the developer to bring
all necessary infrastructure to the site and construct all on-site improvements as well.
Improvements to the haul routes will be particularly important in this situation. The applicant
has agreed to provide a traffic study and a pavement analysis for 14"' Street. This information
will be used to determine if road improvements will be a required part of the Annexation
Agreement. In addition, staff is requesting that the owner pay the City 1% of gross sales to
mitigate any other impacts created by the mining operations.
XII. Staff Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 2004-027 accepting the annexation petition and initiating the annexation
proceedings for the property known as the R.J. Campbell Pit Annexations#1 and#2.
RESOLUTION NO. 2004-027
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF FORT LUPTON INITIATING
ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS FOR THE R. J. CAMPBELL PIT
ANNEXATIONS #1 AND#2,AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING.
WHEREAS,the Fort Lupton City Council has reviewed the annexation petition
submitted for a 190.72.5±acre parcel known as the R. J. Campbell Pit
Annexations #1 and#2, as described on Exhibit A attached hereto, and
WHEREAS, the Fort Lupton City Council finds the annexation petition to be
complete and in substantial conformance with the requirements of C.R.S. 31-12-
107 (1) as amended.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Fort Lupton City Council
hereby approves Resolution 2004-027 initiating annexation proceedings for the R.J.
Campbell Pit Annexations #1 and #2, and sets the hearing date for October 27, 2004 to
determine if the proposed annexation complies with C.R.S. 31-12-104 and 31-12-105, or
such parts thereof as may be required to establish eligibility for annexation under the
terms of Part 1, Article 12, Title 31,C.R.S.

RJ Campbell Pit Annexation
Part of Sec 25, T2N, R67W, 6th P.M. and
part of Sec 30 & 31, T2N, R66W, 6th P.M.
Dear Commissioners;
In compliance with Section 31-12-108 . 5 C. R. S. we respectfully
submit this letter and the attached maps as the annexation
impact report for the Campbell' s C-Ment Contracting, Inc. - RJ
Campbell Pit Annexation. The following is a list of the items
and issues that the City is Required to address for the benefit
of the Commissioners .
Summary of Project: The RJ Campbell Pit is a sand and
gravel mine located west of the South Platte River and
north of WCR 14'? . The surrounding uses area; on the west
and south, agriculture; on the north, a gravel mine; and on
the east, by the South Platte River. The proposed plan is
to mine 124 . 25 acres of the 190 . 72 ac parcel leaving a
series of 7 lakes varying in size from 2 . 83 ac to 49. 23
acres . The remaining 66. 44 acres (35%) will remain
undisturbed, with part being river bottom area (49 . 25 ac. )
or oil well facility areas (16 . 69 ac. ) . When economically
feasible the site will be developed as a water storage
reservoir complex. Auxiliary uses on the site during
mining will include a scale and scale house, a shop
building, a gravel processing plant, material stockpiles, a
concrete batch plant and a concrete casting facility. Some
material recycling will take place to supplement the gravel
product created on the site. The recycling will be limited
in nature. The mine is expected to operate from 15 to 25
years depending on market demands in the area.
a. The annexation agreement is not yet finalized; however, the
agreement will require the property owner to bear the cost
of extending all streets and utility services to the
property if needed. Development of this site as a gravel
mine will not require potable water or sewer service
because there are no permanent structures on the site.
Potable water will be delivered to the site and portable
toilet facilities will be available. No new streets will
be needed for the development and WCR 14E is a paved road
capable of handling the projected traffic. A private
gravel drive provides access north from WCR 14; to the
development site . According to the Traffic Study Prepared
for the development, the development will increase the
average daily traffic by approximately 280 round trips per
day. The WCR currently operates at a service level of "A"
and the increase traffic will not change this during the
life of the development .
b. The proposed initial zoning is PUD - Industrial for mining,
processing, auxiliary uses and developed water storage .
The property represents a logical and incremental extension
of our existing urban services and is compatible with the
mining land uses to the north. This development will not
increase the demands on the urban resources and is isolated
from the urban development taking place in other parts of
the city.
c. The site is lies within that area along the South Plate
River that has proven gravel reserves . The Extraction Plan
Map contained in the WELD COUNTY MINERAL RESOURCES (VOLUME II)
EXTRACTION PLAN shows this area as being in a "Resource
Conservation Area" that contains sand and gravel . An
active gravel mine adjoins the site on the north and the
soils are shown as marginal for agricultural uses in the
soils report section of the Master Plan document provided.
This is a non irrigated land since a pervious owner sold
the water to Weld County and the site was dried up. The
eastern two-thirds of the development lies in the "Flood
Zone A2" as indicated on the Firm Map. No residential or
commercial units will be built on the site . There are no
wetland areas on the site to be disturbed by development .
d. Please find attached a copy of the notice that was sent to
the special districts affected by this annexation.
e. The annexation will not generate additional impacts to the
school district because the development is industrial and
will not add residences .
The public hearing in front of the Ft Lupton City Council is
scheduled for October 27, 2004 . Your input is welcome . Please
do not hesitate to call if you 'lave questions or require further
information.
Respectfully,
00.01dvW An"AN.
