Skyview Annexation?

May 14, 2001

According to the Monday, April 16 edition of the Fort Collins Coloradoan, "in a little over three years, a mammoth enclave will be annexed into the city". The article goes on to say, "The city is obligated under the terms of an inter- governmental agreement signed with Larimer County in 1980 to pursue any parcel that becomes eligible for involuntary annexation... 'When any unincorporated area is entirely contained within the boundaries of a municipality, the governing body may annex the area if it has been surrounded by the municipality for at least three years.' "

In our case, this will occur when the city approves the proposed annexations of the Cathy Fromme and Coyote Ridge open spaces. That approval is expected to occur at City Council's May 1 meeting. That would put us on the way to being considered for annexation in May, 2004.
