The owners have stated the intention of
proposing a future development after annexation
and establishment of R-1 zoning occurs within
the city. 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.

Narrative
CITY OF GREELEY ANNEXATION INFORMATION SIira'1'
The following information is required to process the annexation of land into the City of
Greeley. This sheet must be attached to a completed annexation petition.

3. Person to Contact (Name, Address and Phone) Janice Lacefield - 4133 15 St Ln
353-9238 William Bonner 918 13 St 353-0790
4. Size (in acres) / 7. 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.

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.
