Koch, City Clerk City of Aspen 130 South Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 Re: Barbee Property Annexation Dear Ms. Koch: Enclosed herewith is a petition for annexation for a portion of the Barbee property which is located adjacent to the Aspen city limits near the base of Shadow Mountain. The petition is submitted pursuant to the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965, Part 1, Article 12, Title 31, Colorado Revised Statutes, 1973, as amended, by Mary K. Barbee, John W. Barbee and Hallie B. Rugheimer, the owners of the property. Four copies of the required Annexation Map accompany the petition. The Barbee property consists of an approximately 17.6 acre metes and bounds parcel of which approximately 6.8 acres (the portion to be annexed) is located within unincorporated Pitkin County. The remainder of the property is located within the city limits. The petitioners wish to annex the unincorporated portion of the property into the City, and to develop a small, mixed free market/affordable housing project pursuant to the provisions of the City's AH1/PUD zone district regulations. The petitioners are presently preparing a development application for the property for submission to the City next month. With respect to the annexation process, it is my understanding that the City Council must first adopt a resolution finding the annexation petition in substantial compliance with the Municipal Annexation Act's petition requirements. The resolution would also set a date and time for a public hearing at which the petition would be formally considered. Upon a finding that the petition complies with the annexation criteria of the Act, and following the successful completion of the land use approval process, the Council may adopt an ordinance formally annexing the property. Should the development application not be approved, or the conditions of approval be unaccept- able to the petitioners, the petition may be withdrawn and the annexation process terminated. 230 East Hopkins Avenue • Aspen, Colorado 81611 9 970/925-6958 9 Fax 970/920-9310 Ms. Kathryn S.
