Dear Property Owner:
A proposal has been put forth by the City of Greeley to annex an area which has been
surrounded by the city limits for over 10 years. The enclave includes the Johnson
Subdivision and the gravel mine located northwest of 4th Street and 35th Avenue (see
map on back of letter).
A neighborhood meeting to discuss the proposal has been scheduled for:
Wednesday, January 22, 1997
7:00 p.m.
Room 101c
City of Greeley Recreation Center
651 10th Avenue
The purpose of this meeting is to afford property owners within the area to be annexed
an opportunity to ask questions. City staff, including representatives of the Planning
Department, Public Works Department and the Finance Department will be present to
provide an overview of the City's review process and answer questions.
If you desire more information, please contact me at the City of Greeley Community
Development Department at 350-9786.
Sincerely,
Greg I4hompson

JOHNSON' S SUBDIVISION ENCLAVE ANNEXATION
Most growth and development of the City occurs after property
becomes annexed. Annexation is typically done in order to
receive municipal services and is the result of a landowner
petitioning the City for inclusion in the municipality. As
annexation of parcels occurs there may be other parcels for which
development was not pursued, or has already occurred in the
county, which become surrounded by the City. These "enclaves"
are eligible for the City to annex without the landowners '
consent, after the parcel has been surrounded by the City for at
least three years .
It has been the City' s practice to systematically annex these
enclaves as they become eligible for annexation, or when adjacent
development is occurring at a level which makes annexation
helpful for the purpose of coordinating public improvements, such
as streets, or to help avoid confusion with exact municipal
boundaries for emergency response.
There are currently several enclaves City staff is evaluating for
annexation. One of these, the Johnson' s Subdivision area (north
of 4th Street between 35th and 41st Avenues) has been eligible
for annexation for quite some time . Since adjacent parcels
remained largely vacant, the City did not pursue annexation upon
the parcel ' s technical eligibility. With the recent building
activity associated with the adjacent land, Larson Subdivision to
the west and Stoneybrook Mobile Home Community to the north, it
now seems timely to pursue the annexation of this area. There
are approximately 46 landowners in this enclave, including the
Best-way Paving company. An area meeting with City staff and
landowners has been scheduled for Wednesday, January 22nd at 7
p.m. in the Greeley Recreation Center. Staff will send
individual letters to those landowners identified by the County
Assessor' s records as owning property in the proposed annexation
area to advise them of the meeting.
