Summary:
Owner: Alan Brass and Benjamen J Oliver
Representative: Ireland Dean Designs, LLC; Kristin Albers
Location: 7830 Black Forest Road
This is a request to approve a resolution finding the Brass-Oliver Addition No. 1 - 2 Annexation petitions to be in substantial compliance with C.R.S. section 31-12-107, setting a public hearing date of August 27, 2024, to consider the annexation, and directing the City Clerk to provide notice of the hearing in accordance with C.R.S section 31-12-108. The annexation total area for Brass-Oliver Addition No 1 -2 is 1.96 acres and located at 7830 Black Forest Road.
Previous Council Action:
On November 28, 2023 the City Council accepted the original petitions for annexation.
Background:
The Colorado Municipal Annexation Act of 1965 (the “Act”) provisions required that once a petition has been reviewed and is found to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of C.R.S. 31-12-107(1), the City Council must set a hearing to consider the annexation and publish notice of the annexation hearing for four (4) weeks prior to the public hearing. In addition, the hearing date must be no less than thirty (30) days or more than sixty (60) days after the effective date of the resolution setting the hearing. City staff has reviewed the Brass-Oliver Addition No. 1 - 2 Annexation Petitions and has found them to be in substantial compliance with C.R.S. section 31-12-107(1). City staff recommends the City Council finds the petitions to be substantial compliance, set a hearing date on the petitions, and direct the Clerk to give notices in accord with C.R.S. section 31-12-108, as required by the Act. The notice of the annexation hearing can be published on the following dates: July 27, 2024, August 3, 2024, August 10, 2024, and August 17, 2024, to adhere to the statute requirements for the August 27, 2024, City Council meeting. Approving the resolution and setting a public hearing for the proposed annexation does not obligate the City Council to approve the annexation in the future.
Financial Implications:
The proposed annexation falls below the threshold for a fiscal impact analysis.
