This 17.85 acre annexation will be considered by the City of Greeley Planning Commission on March 25, 1997, and the City Council on April 15, 1997, where the ordinance will be introduced and the public hearing will be on May 6, 1997.

The preliminary concept includes manufactured single-family residential housing on 6,000 - 7,000 square foot lots on the property. The site lies within the City's approved Mid - Range Expected Service Area, within the boundaries of the Long -Range Expected Growth Area, and within the Municipal Services Suitability Area. Generally speaking, the proposed land use will be compatible with existing surrounding land uses both within City limits and in unincorporated Weld County. Under the Land Compatibility section of the Comprehensive Plan, several potential issues arise. According to the Comprehensive Plan Maps, a portion of the property may be underlain by commercially recoverable gravel deposits, and the western portion of the site is identified as a prime irrigated farm ground, with high potential as a dry cropland. The site is well -served by transportation services, since a designated **** (Balsam Avenue) borders the property to the east, and is bordered on the south by a ****(East 20th Street). SURROUNDING LAND USES North - Pasture, Single -Family Residences, South - Church, Single -Family Residence, Elementary School East - Single -Family Residences West - Utility Lines, Pasture, Mobile Homes SURROUNDING ZONING North - County R-1 (Single -Family Residential) South - City R-1 (Single -Family Residential) East - County R-1 (Single -Family Residential) West - County R-1 (Single -Family Residential) ANALYSIS The site constitutes 17.85 acres and is located northwest of the intersection of East 20th Street and Balsam Avenue north and east of the existing city limits. The site is fully within the City's Long -Range Expected Growth Area, Mid -Range Expected Service Area, and the City's Municipal Services Suitability Area. A church and elementary school exists within City limits immediately to the south of this site. Undeveloped property within the County exists to the west, and north. A County residential subdivision exists to the east. The land use envisioned by the applicant for the site, manufactured single-family residences, appears consistent with City of Greeley Comprehensive Plan policies in that residential development is encouraged to be provided for all income levels. The Comprehensive Plan also encourages residential uses adjacent to elementary schools. The location of this area adjacent to existing and potential residential areas may also be a benefit. The single-family residence immediately to the south of the site would remain in the county and become an enclave, entirely surrounded by the City. The annexation of this site into the city would be consistent with present growth patterns and Comprehensive Plan policies. There is clear evidence that this site shares a common interest with the City's future. The requirements of State statutes and City of Greeley guidelines for annexation appear to have been met by this requested annexation.

Kr - Sites larger than 10 acres require (as per C.R.S. 31-12-108.5, amended) an annexation impact report. The annexing body and the County Commissioners may agree to waive such report, but a letter to that effect must accompany this petition. Check One: [>Q Land Owner -Initiated [• ] Municipally Owned (C.R.S. 31-12-106) [ ] Enclave (C.R.S. 31-12-106) 5. Attach a list of all special districts (including school districts) of which the territory proposed for annexation is part. 6. Attach a list of all residents (and their addresses) of the territory proposed for annexation who are not land owners. 7. Attach a description of the intended use and development of the territory proposed for annexation. Such a description should be as complete as possible and include: • The location of existing streets and utility lines. • Existing and proposed land use patterns and existing zoning. • Size of commercial or industrial facilities. • Estimated number of school students generated. • Number of dwelling units. 5. Schools which would be utilized include Weld School District #6: Elementary --East Memorial Middle School--Chappelow Junior High --John Evans Senior High --Greeley West Subject property is not part of a special improvement district. 6. The entire property petitioning for annexation is owned by Janice Lacefield and William Bonner. 7. Two existing streets border the property. Balsam is on the east side and E. 20 Street is on the south. The southeast portion is adjacent to a church and a home which was recently annexed into the city of Greeley. The north side of the property borders small acreages and the west borders an empty field currently being farmed. Existing utilities border the project and service the surrounding land improvements. The site is currently zoned agricultural and has been used as such for previous years. The proposed land use would be for R-1 modular housing. The applicants intention is to create a more typical single family residential development. Therefore, lots are larger than average modular developments and similar to traditional R-1 developments. Lots would be purchased by the homeowner and would be approximately 6500 to 8000 square feet. Estimates of available lots and single family dwellings would be from 65-75 units. The applicant feels Greeley is in need of quality, affordable housing. This usage would compliment the current area which has a mobile home park approximately 1/4 mile west of the property, Wedgewood Subdivision and East Memorial School directly to the south, small tracts and residences to the north and east respectively. The applicant is requesting application for a residential development only. No commercial or industrial facilities would be included in the requested improvements. Public schools might be slightly impacted by the project, however, a large percentage of our market would be families with very young children who already live in the city of Greeley. The applicants intended market is local families who are renting in multi- family units or mobile homes currently in this area. Attachment E 2/26/97 ART ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW TEAM February 26, 1997 2. LACEEFIELD-BONNER ANNEXATION STAFF PRESENT: LOCATION: Greg Flebbe, Planner II Dan Moore, Water Resource Engineer Jim Moths, Building Inspector Duane Scheel, Fire Battalion Chief Dave Wells, Civil Engineer drrAP- Southwest of East 20th Street and Balsam Avenue PROJECT: Annexation REPRESENTATIVES: Jan Lacefield Bill Bonner Austin and Austin Real Estate 918 13th Street Greeley, CO 80631 DISCUSSION: Greg Flebbe introduced the request and gave a brief overview to the project. Mr. Flebbe clarified with the applicant that the site would be zoned R-1 and would have manufactured homes and not mobile homes. The applicant agreed. The applicant stated there was no oil and gas activity within 350' of the site, and acknowledged that notification of the mineral rights owner would be required as part of the subdivision process. Mr. Bonner stated that the house of the southeast corner was not going to be included in the annexation; however, he would approach the property owner and see if he could include him with this request. Mr. Flebbe confirmed that the site had the required 1/6 contiguity. Mr. Flebbe stated the initial resolution for annexation will be considered by the City Council on March 18, 1997, Planning Commission on March 25, 1997, and again by City Council on April 15, 1997, and May 6, 1997. Mr. Flebbe noted that the establishment of zoning would be necessary within 90 days of City Council approval of the annexation. Mr. Flebbe suggested that the applicant contact Greg Thompson for a fast track schedule so the applicant could begin construction before next winter. Mr. Flebbe noted the proposed annexation is inside the LREGA, MRESA and the MSS. Dave Wells noted that the following correction are needed on the plat: (1) The course from the TPOB to the Southeast corner of the Union Colony Lot 6 is missing in the Legal Description. (2) The utility easement adjacent to the North end of the Christian Church Annexation is labeled 15', but scales 10'. (3) The dimension as it is shown on the West line of the annexation is unclear whether it goes to the ROW line of the Southwest corner. Dan Moore noted that raw water dedication will be due at the rate of 3 acre ft/acre, water and sewer lines must be extended to the property extremities at the time of development, and each site will need an individual water and sewer tap.
