E~GI~EERI~G CONCERNS RELATED
TO A~NEXATIO~ OF AREA "J"
SILVERKI~G/SMUGGLERTRAILER COURT
I. Street System and Right-of Way
The general state of streets in this area is poor.
The street system suffers from bad intersection
design, poor alignment, and inadequate right-of-
way widths. One third of the public maintained
mileage has no all-weather surfacing. Costs have
been prepared for improving existing road surfaces,
but no attempt has been made to identify specific
costs related to the other problems. Any solution
to these problems would require considerable surveying,
engineering. legal, and administravtive costs in
addition to the actual right-of-way acquisition
costs. '
II. Bridges
At present roughly 75% of both the ~eal Avenue and
Mill Street bridges are within the City, but many
times other arrangements for expense have been
worked out with the county in regard to maintenaI).ce.
Future annexation should include either all or none
of the bridges. Although the Mill Street bridge
was widened and reconditioned less than three
years ago, it is' of poor alignment and insufficient
load capacity. It's future replacement seems a
certainty as growth continues north of the Roaring
Fork. The ~eal Avenue bridge is a bad traffic
,hazard in its current alignment and condition.
The Hunter Creek bridge also needs to be improved
and/or replaced.
III. Water Service
At present the city has no obligation to serve new
developments in the county; once annexed, the
City is obligated to provide water service. Although
the developer would install the distribution system,
the City would have to bear the cost of improving
off-site transmission. distribution, and treatment
facilities. The restraints in the distribution
system which existed when Silverking (Phase IV)
requested water have not been eliminated, and the
capital improvements program is substantially
behind what was scheduled in 1974 during the water
system study. Present treatment plant data does not
indicate any reduction in the 10% annual growth
rate. If the growth rate remains near 10% instead
of the proj ected 5% through 1985, ,treatment capacf'ty
will be exceeded within five years assuming no changes
in consumption characteristics (i.e., meters or rationing).
IV. Development Review
This item is difficult to accurately assess, but the
proposed subdivision fees re,flect the' administrative
costs involved in processing a plat. The major cost
would not be the subdivisions, but all the areas which
are already divided into tracts. Such tasks as
survey review for building permits, ,issuance and
inspection of excavation permits, and general
information requests will increase. Of particular
concern' is the status of, or lack of. any deeded
public right-of-way or easements. Problem areas
like this increase demands on staff time immensely.

MOTION BY JENIFER PEDERSEN
March 10, 1975
"I move that the City of Aspen join in the application for
the UMPTA grant subject to the ratification of this action
by the electorate at the May 6th, 1975, General Municipal
Election.
I further move to direct the City Attorney to draft for con-
sideration at the March 24th regular meeting, a resolution
submitting to the electorate at the General Municipal Election
to be held May 6, 1975, the question as to whether the City of
Aspen should join in an applicat ion for an m1PTA grant to
establish an electric rail system, alerting the citizenry that
the awarding of the grant will obligate the city to joint fund-
ing of the same, all as described in the UMPTA grant application
and accompanying reports.
I further move that the City Attorney draft for approval of the
Council on March 24th an official statement to accompany the
resolution describing the essential elements of the rail proposal
ann renuired financing whi8h statement shall be approved by the
- ,
City Council, and be published with the notice of election so as
to afford the citizens of Aspen sufficient information to apprise
them of the full impact of the system in terms of anticipated
costs and land use effects."

303-892-2156
July 25, 1973
MEMORANDUM
TO: City and Town Clerks
State of Colorado
FROM: J. D. Arehart
Director
SUBJECT: House Bill 1055, 1973 Session
of the Legislature.
As you may already know with the passage of H.B. 1055 the
requirement that cities and towns file annexation ordinances
and annexation maps with the Secretary of State has been trans-
ferred to the Division of Local Government. Effective July 1,
1973, therefore, all annexation papers should be filed only
with the Division of Local Government.
The purpose for this change was to remove a duplication
in the law which did require cities and towns to file annex-
ation papers with both the Secretary of State and the Division
of Local Government. After researching the files in both of-
fices it is apparent that some cities are filing with one of-
fice, some with both, and some have not been filing with
either office. The latter may be because there have been no
annexations for several years, however, the state has no way
to verify this.
I'm certain you can appreciate the nearly impossible job
it would be to try to "build" accurate, up-to-date data on the
boundaries of every city and town in Colorado from these cur-
rent files. It appears to us that the only way to bring the
files up-to-date is to request from each municipality a certi-
fied map and legal description of the boundaries as of July 1,
1973 or as close to this date as possible, and any annexation
papers which would include territory after the map was drawn.
If you cannot supply this information, please notify us as to
the reason and perhaps we can assist you in compiling it.
Your cooperation will be very much appreciated. Information
which should be filed with the state is: (1) the ordinance,
'...
.>.
1"'""\
~,
MEMORANDUM
JUly 25, 1973
Page two
including the legal description, dates of publication, date
of final adoption by the counci.l, and the effective date of
the ordinance; and (2) a map of the territory to be annexed.
This same information should also be filed with the County
Clerk and such filing should be so noted on the copy filed
with the state.
One program that will benefit your individual city or
town from these data is a computerized system of mapping which
will provide a check on the legal description and all subse-
quent annexations. This program is now on the drawing board
and a county is being selected for a pilot program to evaluate
what we hope will be an extensive computerized data bank for
research which would be available to local governments as well
as to the state.
Another reason for this change relates to the' revenue
sharing program. This office was required to certify municipal
boundary changes to the U S. Department of the Treasury for the
calendar year 1972 for cities of 5,000 population and over.
This proved to be most difficult as some cities have not been
filing with the state and some ordinance did not contain the
information required by the federal government.
In order to be more accurate for calendar '73 we are
requesting that each annexation ordinance be accompanied by
the attached receipt form in duplicate. The original will
be signed and returned to you for your file. The duplicate
copy will enable the Division of Local Government to be more
accurate in certifying this information to the federal govern-
ment. This procedure should eliminate the cost of using certi-
fied mail which some cities are presently using as a receipt.
Hopefully, this procedure will enable the Division of Local
Government to work more effectively with its municipalities in
this area.
please let us know if you have any questions or if we can
be of any assistance.
