City Council FROM: City Attorney RE: Smuggler Petition for Annexation Election cc: City Manager City Engineer Encl: Municipal Annexation Act of 1965 (Title 31, Article 12, Colorado Revised Statutes) This memo is in fOllow-up to my memo of February 10, 1984, and my discussion with the City Council at the February 27 meeting. A copy of the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965 is attached. A. ,Legislative declaration of Annexation Act. I refer the Council to Section 31-12-102 which sets forth the legislative declaration that annexation pOliciesa,nd procedures are necessary and desirable fOr the orderly growth of urban com- munities in the State of Colorado, and to these ends the Annexa- tion Act shall be liberally construed. l"urther, the General Assembly has declared that it is the purpose of the annexation provisions to: (1) encourage natural and well~ordered development of municip"l ities; (2) distribute fairly and equitably the cost of municipal services among those persons who benefit therefrom; (3) to extend municipal government, services and facilities to eligible areas which form a part of the whole com- munity; (4) to simplify governmental structure of urban areas; (5) to provide an orderly system for extending municipal regulations to newly annexed areas; " ~ .~ !) . . Memorandum to City Clerk and City Council March 1, 1984 Page Two (6) to reduce the friction among contiguous or neighboring municipalities; and (7) increase the ability of municipalities and urban areas to provide their citizens with the services that they require. B. "Qualified electors" and percentage of signatures. As I stated at the February 27 meeting, my memo of February 10 should be corrected as follows: 1. "Qualified elector" is more accurately defined in Sec- tion 31-12-103 as a "registered elector, as defined in Part 1 of Article 1 of this title, who is a resident landowner of the area propose.:! to be annexed". Article 1, Part 1 of Title 31 (Section 31-1-101(7)) defines a qualified elector as "a person who is qual- ified under the provisions of the Colorado Election Code of 1965 to register to vote in elections of the municipality or who, with respect to a proposed city or town or the creation of an improve- ment district, is qualified to register to vote in the territory involved in the proposed incorporation or district. "Resident" is defined as one who makes his primary dwelling place within the area to be annexed and "landowner" is defined as the "owner in fee of any undivided interest in a given parcel of land". 2. With regard to the number of signatures, Section 31-12- 107(2)(a)(II) requires that the petition shall be signed by at least forty qualified electors or ten percent of the electors of the area to be annexed, whichever is less. My prior memo is in error in that it indicates ten percent of the "electors of pitkin County, whichever is less". Thus, I suggest that you review the petition to ascertain whether there are forty signatures of people who meet the fOllowing requirements: a. Is the signer a registered elector (i,e. citizen of the United States; resided in the state for 32 days and the elec- tion precinct for 32 days preceding the election at which he offers to vote; not confined in any public prison)? b. Is the signer a resident of the area proposed to be annexed; in other words, does he or she make his or her primary dwelling place within the area to be annexed? c. Is the signer the owner in fee of any undivided interest in a given parcel of land within the area to be annexed? r~, ,.-., Memorandum to City Clerk and City Council March 1, 1984 Page Three If you cannot certify that forty electors meeting the qualifica- tions set forth above have signed the petition, then an analysis must be made of the number of electors within the area to be annexed and a calculation of whether the certifiable signatures constitute ten percent of said electors. C. Counter-Petition. With reference to the February 6, 1984, letter submitted to the City Council under signature of Mick Ireland, I again refer you to the provisions of Section 31-12-107(7) which provides: "For the purpose of determining the compliance with the peti- tion requirements in this section, a signature by any land- owner shall be sufficient so long as any other owner in fee of an undivided interest in the same area of land does not object in writing to the governing body of the annexing muni- cipality within fourteen ~ays after the filing of the peti- tion for annexation or annexation election. The entire area of the land signed for shall be computed as petitioning for annexation if such signing landowner has become liable for taxes in the last preceding calendar year or is exempt by law from payment of taxes. One who is purchasing land under a written contract duly recoraed shall be deemed the owner of the land which is subject to the contract if he has paid the taxes thereon for the next preceding tax year. The signers for an area owned by a corporation, whether profit or nonpro- fit, shall be the same persons as those authorized to convey land for such corpolCation." Unfortunately, al though the above provision anticipates an objec- tion by any "other owner in fee" it does not give guidance as to how to resolve the objection. Colorado case law is also silent on this point. Thus, given the objection, some analysis must be made of the petition requirements for land ownership. As you know, a petition for annexation under Section 31-12-107(1) requires an allegation that the signers comprise the lando\mers of more than fifty percent of the territory included in the area pro- posed to be annexed. However, a petition for annexation election under Section 31-12-107(2) requires only an allegation that the signers are "qualified electors in" and "landowners of the area proposed to be annexed", rather than contain an allegation of a certain percentage of land owned. To qualify as a "landowner" one need only be an "owner in fee of any undivided interest in a given parcel of land". Additionally, pursuant to the hearing procedures outlined in Section 31-12-109, any person living within the area . " ,....,., '-'. Memorandum to City Clerk and City Council March 1, 1984 Page Four proposed to be annexed as well as any "landowner of land therein" may appear and present evidence on any matter to be determined by the City Council. Thus, it is my opinion that the counter-peti- tion, in and of itself, should not operate at this stage in the process to prevent the City Council from making a finding of "sub- stantial compliance". Any objections which the signers of the counter-petition might wish to interpose may be made at the hear- ing. Nonetheless, I would like to continue our analysis and request that the following information be provided: 1. Are any of the signers of the February 6 letter owners in fee of an undivided interest in the same area of land as the signatories of the original petition? '1, 2. the joint etc. )? If so, how many owners are there, and in what form is ownership (i.e. joint tenants, cooperative, condominium, 3. What percentage of the total landowners signed the peti- tion and what percentage are protesting?~ 4. Was the letter of February 0 filed within fourteen days after the filing of the petition for annexation election? LiV D. Enclave Annexation. Section 31-12-107 requires that if an annexation petition or a petition for annexation election meets the specifications of Sec- tion 31-12-106(1) and (2) regarding enclaves (i.e. where any unin- corporated area is entirely contained within the City or has land more than two-thirds boundary contiguity for a period of not less than three years), the City Council shall then initiate annexation proceedings pursuant, to, the appropriate provisions of Section 31-12-106(1) and (2). Therefore, I request that the City Engineer comment on whether there is more than two-thirds boundary contigu- ity of the land proposed to be annexed. PJT/m"c: ill ,-' - . CIT reet 611 MEMORANDUM DATE: February 10, 1984 TO: Kathryn Koch FROM: City Attorney RE: Annexation Election of the Smuggler Area I have reviewed the petition for annexation election forwarded to me by copy of your February 2, 1984, memo, in light of the provi- sions of the Municipal Annexation Act (31-12-101 C.R.S., et seq.) which sets forth the following requirements regarding petitions for annexation election: I. QUALIFIED ELECTORS MAY PETITION FOR ANNEXATION ELECTION. The qualified electors may petition the City Council to com- mence proceedings for the holding of an annexation election in the area proposed to be annexed. A "qualified elector" is defined as "a person who is legally qualified to register to vote in this state" (1-10-104(9) C.R.S.). Sections 1-2-101 and 1-2-102 per- taining to qualifications of electors and rules for determining residence in state elections are attached for your easy reference. In summary, however, a legally qualified elector is: 1. A person over the age of eighteen who is a citizen of the United States, and 2. Has resided in this state and precinct thirty-two days immediately preceding the election at which he or she offers to vote. II. CONTENTS OF PETITION FOR ANNEXATION ELECTION. A petition for annexation election (as contrasted with an annexation petition submitted by 50% or more of the landowners of the territory sought to be annexed) must contain the following: A. An allegation that it is desirable and necessary that such area be annexed to the municipality (this requirement is met by Paragraph 1 of the petition); " .-., ,-.., Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Two B. An allegation that the requirements of Sections 31-12- 104 and 31-12-105 exist or have been met (this requirement is met by Paragraph 2 of the petition). The actual requirements of Sec- tions 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 are discussed below. C. An allegation that the signers of the petition are qualified electors resident in and landowners of the area proposed to be annexed (this requirement is satisfied by Paragraph 3 of the petition) . D. A request to commence proceedings for the holding of an annexation election (this requirement is met by Paragraph 4 of the annexation petition). E. A request that the City approve the annexation of the area proposed to be annexed (this requirement is satisfied by Paragraph 5 of the petition). F. The petition shall set forth the signatures of such landowners. For the purpose of determining compliance with this requirement, Section 31-12-107(7) provides that "a signature by any landowner shall be sufficient so long as any other owner in fee of an undivided interest in the same area of land does not object in writing to the governing body of the annexing municipal- ity within fourteen days after the filing of the petition for annexation or annexation election. The entire area of the land signed for shall be computed as petitioning for annexation if such signing landowner has become liable for taxes in the last preced- ing calendar year or is exempt by law from payment of taxes. One who is purchasing land under a written contract duly recorded shall be deemed the owner of the land which is subject to the con- tract if he has paid taxes thereon in the next preceding tax year. The signers for an area owned by a corporation, whether profit or non-profit, shall be the same person as those authorized to convey land for such corporation." (I request that you review property ownership described and whether or not the signatures are valid under these rules.) G. forth (I tures) . The mailing address of each such signer shall be set note generally that mailing addresses follow the signa- H. The petition shall set forth the legal description of the land owned by such signer (I suggest that the petition be -. - Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Three reviewed by either the Planning or Engineering Department with respect to sufficient "legal description"). I. The petition shall set forth the date of signing of each signature. In this regard, "no signature on the petition is valid if it is dated more than one hundred eighty days prior to the date of filing the petition with the clerk", and "no person signing a petition for annexation shall be permitted to withdraw his signa- ture from the petition after the petition has been filed with the clerk". (A brief review of the petition indicates that this requirement has probably been satisfied.) J. The petition shall contain "the affidavit of each circu- lator of such petition, whether consisting of one or more sheets, that each signature therein is the signature of the person whose name it purports to be". (The petition which you referred to my office does not contain a circulator's affidavit and unless so submitted, the petition should be considered defective.) K. Section 31-12-107(2)(a)(II) requires that the petition shall be signed by at least forty qualified electors or ten per- cent of the electors of the Pitkin County, whichever is less. (I request that you review the petition to ascertain whether this requirement has been met.) III. PROCEDURE. The petition must be filed with the City Clerk, who shall refer the petition to the City Council without undue delay. The Council shall then take appropriate steps to determine if the petition so filed is "substantially in compliance" with the requirements set forth above. This includes a determination with respect to the requirements of Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 which are outlined below: A. Section 31-12-104 imposes the following eligibility requirements for annexation: 1. No less than one-sixth of the perimeter of the area proposed to be annexed is contiguous with the boundary of the :'- .~ Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Four City. (The Engineering Department should review the map to ascer- tain whether the perimeter requirement is satisfied). 2. That a community of interest exists between the area proposed to be annexed and the City; that the proposed area is urban or will be urbanized in the near future; and that the area is integrated with or is capable of being integrated with the City. The fact that the area proposed to be annexed has contigu- ity with the City provides a basis for a finding of compliance with these requirements unless the City Council, upon the basis of competent evidence presented at the hearing provided for in Sec- tion 31-12-109, finds that at least two of the following are shown to exist: (i) Less than fifty percent of the adult residents of the area proposed to be annexed make use of part or all of the following types of the facilities of the City of Aspen: recrea- tional, civic, social, religious, industrial or commercial; and less than twenty-five percent of said area's residents are employed in the City. If there are no adult residents at the time of the hearing, this standard shall not apply; (ii) One-half or more of the land proposed to be annexed (including streets) is agricultural, and the landowners of such agricultural land, under oath, express an intention to devote the land to such agricultural use for a period of not less than five years; or (iii) It is not physically practicable to extend to the areas proposed to be annexed those urban services which the City provides in common to all its citizens on the same terms and conditions as such services are made available to said citizens. B. Section 31-12-105 sets forth the following limitations: 1. In establishing the boundaries of any territory to be annexed, no land held in identical ownership shall be divided into separate parts or parcels without the written consent of the landowners thereof unless such tracts or parcels are separated by a dedicated street, road or other public way. (The Engineering Department should analyze the petition in this respect.) 2. In establishing the boundaries of the area proposed to be annexed, no land held in identical ownership comprising twenty acres or more shall be included without the written consent ,- -, Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Five of the landowners unless such tract of land is situated entirely within the outer boundaries of the annexing municipality as they exist at the time of annexation. (The Engineering Department should analyze the map with respect to this limitation.) 3. No annexation resolution and no annexation petition shall be valid when annexation proceedings have been commenced for the annexation of part or all of the territory to another munici- pality. (I assume that annexation proceedings have not been commenced for all or part of the territory to another municipal- ity. ) 4. As to any annexation which will result in the detachment of any area from any school district and the attachment of same to another school district, no annexation petition is valid unless accompanied by a resolution of the board of directors of the school district to which such area will be attached approv- ing such annexation. (I assume that the proposed annexation will not result in the detachment of the area from any existing school district. ) C. If the petition is found to be in substantial compliance with the above, the procedure outlined in Sections 31-12-108 to 31-12-110 shall be followed. This procedure is outlined below. If the petition for an annexation election is not found to be in substantial compliance, no further action shall be taken; except that the governing body shall make such determination by resolu- tion. If the petition is found to be in substantial compliance, the governing body may pass a resolution of intent to annex the land proposed for annexation, subject to the procedures outlined in Sections 31-12-108 to 31-12-110 and subject thereafter to an annexation election to be held in accordance with Section 31-12- 112. Additional terms and conditions on the annexation may be imposed by the City Council in accordance with Section 31-12-112. IV. PROCEDURE AFTER A FINDING THAT THE PETITION FOR AN ANNEXATION ELECTION IS FOUND TO BE IN SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE". The procedures set forth in Sections 31-12-108 to 31-12-110 which shall be followed after a finding of substantial compliance of an annexation petition are as follows: A. Section 31-12-108 provides that as part of the resolu- tion finding substantial compliance with the petition for annexa- tion election, the City Council shall establish a date, time and -, - Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Six place that it will hold a hearing to determine that the proposed annexation complies with Sections 31- 12-104 and 31-12-105 or such parts thereof as may be required to establish eligibility for annexation. The hearing shall be held not less than thirty days nor more than sixty days after the effective date of the resolu- tion setting the hearing. This hearing need not be held if the City Council has determined exclusively that the requirements of Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 have not been met. The notice of the hearing shall be published once a week for four successive weeks. The first publication of the notice shall be at least thirty days prior to the date of the hearing. B. Section 31-12-109 sets forth the procedure for conduct- ing the hearing and provides that any person living with the area proposed to be annexed, any landowner of lands proposed to be annexed, any landowner of lands therein, any resident of the muni- cipality to which the area is proposed to be annexed, the board of county commissioners of any county from which the area would be detached by said annexation may appear at such hearing and present evidence on any matter to be determined by the City Council. C. Section 31-12-110 sets forth the findings of fact and the conclusions of the City Council which must be made by resolu- tion: 1. Whether or not the requirements of the applicable parts of Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 have been met; and 2. Whether or not an election is required under Sec- tion 31-12-107(2); 3. Whether or not additional terms and conditions are to be imposed (as I will explain below, when 100% of the land- owners petition for annexation, we have required that water rights of the areas to be annexed be deeded to the City as part of the annexation -- our water attorneys should advise as to whether or not this term and condition may be imposed as a ~atter of course in the annexation election and upon what terms). Additionally, Section 31-12-110 also provides that a finding that the area proposed for annexation does not comply with the '. ~ '-', Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Seven 1 On this point, the City Council might be interested in Sec- tion 31-12-121 provides as follows: Provision of Municipal Ser- vices to Outside Consumers -- Agreement to Annex. Any municipal- ity, as a condition precedent to the supplying of municipal ser- vices pursuant to contract, may require a contemporary agreement by such consumers, who are owners in fee of real property so sup- plied, to apply for or consent to the annexation of the area to be supplied with such municipal services to the supplying municipal- ity at such future date as the area supplied, or any portion thereof, becomes eligible for annexation pursuant to the provi- sions of this Part I. The agreement to annex shall be enforceable by an action for specific performance filed in the District Court of the judicial district containing all or part of the supplying municipality. A memorandum of such agreement, setting forth the names of the owners in fee of real property supplied and the legal description of such area, shall be recorded in the office of the county clerk and recorder of the county in which such area is located and shall constitute constructive notice of such agreement to all persons not parties thereto. In no event shall the board of directors of any quasi-municipal corporation organized under Part V or VI of Article 25 of this title, Article 8 of Title 29, Part II of Article 20 of Title 30, or Title 32 (except Article 8), C.R.S., or any other law of this state be permitted to obligate or require property owners within any such district to sign any such agreement in order to obtain water service from a municipality. " - ..-. Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Eight applicable prOV1S10ns of Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 shall terminate the annexation proceedings. V. PROCEDURE FOR ANNEXATION ELECTION. Section 31-12-112 sets forth the fOllowing procedures for conducting an annexation election: A. If the City Council determines that an annexation elec- tion is required, an election shall be called to determine whether a majority of the qualified electors approve such annexation, with such terms and conditions, if any, as may attach thereto. B. Any landowner owning land in the area proposed to be annexed may vote, irrespective of whether he is a qualified elec- tor. Any corporate landowner may by resolution designate one of its officers to cast its vote; except that nothing shall invali- date any memorandum of agreement or escrow arrangement voluntarily made by and between the annexed municipality and one or more land- owners within the area proposed to be annexed nor require an elec- tion for the approval of any terms or conditions to be accom- plished or assured in this manner. C. The City shall forthwith petition the district court of the county in which the area proposed to be annexed or a part thereof is located to hold such election. D. Upon receipt of the petition, the court shall appoint three commissioners, one of whom shall be nominated by the City, one of whom shall be a landowners of the land in the area proposed to be annexed or such landowner's nominee, and the third shall be acceptable to the other two. All of the commissioners shall be residents of the State of Colorado and willing to serve as commis- sioners. The appointees, within three days after the date of their appointment, shall take an oath before the court faithfully to perform their duties. In case of disability or failure of any commissioner to act, the court shall forthwith fill his place with some person competent, willing and able to act. E. The commissioners shall forthwith call an election of all the qualified electors and landowners, to be held at some con- venient place within the area proposed to be annexed. The commis- sioners shall establish such polling places within the area pro- posed to be annexed, or immediately adjacent thereto if such area is vacant and unoccupied, as in our judgment are necessary to ~ ,-, Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Nine afford all qualified electors and landowners the opportunity to cast their votes. If more than one polling place is found to be necessary, the court may appoint three additional persons to act as judges or clerks for each additional pOlling place. Such addi- tional judges and clerks shall meet the same requirements as the original appointees. F. Notice of the election shall be given by publication once a week for four weeks in newspaper of general circulation. Additional notice shall be given by posting a notice at each poll- ing place. The posting and first newspaper publication shall not be less than four weeks preceding the election. The notice shall specify the time and place of the election, shall contain a description of the boundaries of the area proposed to be annexed, and shall state that a map or plat thereof is on file in the office of the clerk of the district court in which such area or part thereof is located: and it shall set forth the conditions and requirements, if any, proposed by the City Council for annexation of the area. G. The commissioners shall act as judges or clerks of the election, shall take the oath required by law for judges in general electons, and shall report the result of the voting in their respective polling places to the court within three days after the election. The court shall allow each judge and clerk a reasonable compensation for his services as such, not exceeding $2.00 for each hour necessarily employed in the performance of his duties. H. The ballot used shall contain the words "for annexation" and "against annexation". At the time of voting, each voter shall indicate his choice by placing a cross-mark (X) opposite one or the other of said groups of words. Voting machines may be used in the same manner as in municipal elections. I. If a majority of the votes cast at the election are against the annexation or the vote is tied, the court shall order that all annexation proceedings to date are void and of no effect and that the governing body shall proceed no further with the annexation proceedings. If a majority of the votes cast at the election are for annexation, the court shall order, adjudge and decree that such area may be annexed to the City, and the City Council, by ordinance, may thereafter annex said area and impose the terms and conditions, if any, as approved by the qualified electors and landowners. -- --, Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Ten J. All costs and expenses connected with such annexation election, including commissioners' fees and all election expenses when incurred, shall be paid by the City. VI. INITIATION OF ZONING AND SUBDIVISION PROCEEDINGS. Section 31-12-115 provides, generally, that the City may institute the procedure outlined in state statute or municipal charter to make the land subject to zoning at any time after a resolution of intent has been passed in accordance with Section 31-12-107, and, also, to institute the procedure outlined in the subdivision regulations to subdivide land in the area proposed to be annexed at any time after such resolution. This section fur- ther provides that if either the zoning process or the subdivision process is commenced prior to the date of the annexation ordin- ance, the proposed zoning and subdivision ordinances shall not be passed upon final reading prior to the date when the annexation ordinance is passed upon final reading. The petition requests zoning of R-15 in accordance with the City zoning regulations. Recent case law in Colorado suggests that zonings and rezonings are subject to the initiative and referendum process and I presume that R-15 zoning could be encom- passed within the annexation election question. VII. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS. A. We have repeatedly advised with respect to previous annexation petitions that as a prerequisite to annexation, any water rights appurtenant to the subject parcel be deeded to the City. This requirement has been suggested since City will be required to provide municipal water service to the residents of the annexed ,territory. B. In addition to consolidating all possible water rights, I suggest that the planning and engineering departments comment on additional terms and conditions which might be addressed, specifi- cally, provisions regarding county-owned streets and rights-of- way, etc. The Engineering Department might want to reference my previous memo dealing with the status of streets, alleys and rights-of-way upon annexation. -.., .<""\ Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Eleven VIII. SUMMARIZATON. The following is a summarization of the decisions to be made by staff and Council: A. The City Clerk, Engineering and Planning Departments should analyze the petition with respect to the requirements out- lined above. After this review is completed, the petition should immediately be forwarded as a communication to the City Council. B. The City Council should determine whether or not the annexation is "substantially in compliance" with Section 31-12- 107(2) as stated above. c. Encompassed within the determination of substantial com- pliance is a determination of whether or not the requirements of Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 have been met. This should be done by resolution noticing a public hearing in accordance with the procedures outlined above. D. If Council determines that the petition is in "substan- tial compliance" with Section 31-12-107(2), pass a resolution of intent to annex, and initiate procedures for the holding of an election as set forth above. E. If substantial compliance and additional terms are imposed, the Council shall require an annexation election pursuant to Section 31-12-112. F. division prior to reading. The City Council may initiate proposed zoning and sub- ordinances but these shall not be passed on final reading the date when the annexation ordinance is passed on final G. If a majority of the electors and landowners approve the annexation, Council may pass an ordinance of annexation followed by an applicable zoning ordinance, in compliance with the proce- dural requirements for consummating the annexation. The annexa- tion will become effective upon the effective date of the annexing ordinance, except for tax purposes as provided in subsection (3) of Section 31-12-113. IX. JUDICIAL REVIEW. Section 31-12-116 provides that any landowner or qualified elector in the area proposed to be annexed or the board of county commissioners from which the area is being removed by such annexa- .. ~ ~ - 1'-'" Memorandum to Kathryn Koch February 10, 1984 Page Twelve tion believes itself to be aggrieved by the acts of the City Coun- cil in annexing said area to the City, such acts or findings of the City Council may be reviewed by certiorari in accordance with the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure. In no event shall a pro- ceeding be instituted prior to the effective date of the annexing ordinance. All such actions to review the findings and the deci- sion shall be brought within forty-five days after the effective date of the ordinance, and if such action is not brought within such time, such action shall be barred. It would seem that if the purpose of the proposed annexation election petition is to attempt to prohibit the construction of Phase IV that the owners of the Phase IV project would most cer- tainly seek review under Section 31-12-116. Section 31-12-116(6) provides that all proceedings for judicial review of any annexa- tion proceeding shall be advanced as a matter of immediate public interest and concern and heard at the earliest practical moment. Section 31-12-117 provides that after the effective date of an annexation ordinance, the City shall apply all pertinent ordin- ances to the annexed area, irrespective of any proceedings for judicial review. In the event that the court enters a final judg- ment declaring the annexation proceedings void, no acts taken in compliance with or pursuant to the charter, ordinance or regula- tions of the City shall be voided thereby, even though such action not in compliance with the applicable county requirements or the requirements of other municipal or quasi-municipal corporations having jurisdiction over the area affected by such judicial pro- ceedings. Such acts shall include, among others, subdivision platting and the construction and occupancy of such improvements. A judicial declaration voiding an annexation shall not invalidate the levy and collection of any taxes, license fees, or charges collected or imposed by the City prior to such final judgment. Moreover, the execution of any final judgment by the district court in any judicial review shall automatically be stayed upon the filing of the record on appeal. Such stay shall continue in full force and effect pending final disposition of the proceedings of appeal. X. CONCLUSION. I hope the above has been helpful. I would be happy to pro- vide anyone with a copy of the annexation laws so that they might be able to study the above requirements and issues in further detail. As always, please feel free to call or stop by my office should you have any questions concerning these matters.

February l4, 1984 FROM: DATE: RE: Annexation Petition of the Smuggler Area I have reviewed the petition for Annexation Election from the ____ Smuggler Area under the requirement that it be. signed by forty qualified electors. I can only certify that thirty-eight are qualified electors of this area. As far as the Circulator's Affidavit, I have attached several; however, I cannot tell if there'was a separate petition with each circulator or just the page Petition for Annexation Election. Thank you for your memorandum; if was comprehensive and helpful. When I hear from planning and engineering, I am ready to refer the petition to Council with your recommendations. kk '\ \, " , \, " /"'\ ~) ,'-' ~ ,=2f"5j9tf /:!~ :2Z3 .Jcr :}--fz,fa<t ,"r t.-7, !/~ IV February 6, 1984 The Mayor and City Council City of Aspen 130 South Galena Aspen, Colorado 8161l Gentlemen and Ladies: We are writing in response to the petition for annexation election apparently filed in support of the so-called Smuggler Annexation on February 2, 1984. As owners in fee of undivided interests in the same area of land as 32 of the signatories of the petition for annex- ation election, we hereby object to the sufficiency of each of those 32 signatures, to the sufficiency of the petition for annexation of which they are a part, and to the annexation of any of the property described in the petition for annexation and accompanying map, and espe- cially our property. We represent and affirm that each of us is an owner of an undivided fee interest in the land described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, which is also known as the Hunter Creek Condominium. Those 32 signatories of the petition for annexation election referenced earlier are, if at all, owners of undivided interest in the same land. Sincerely yours, . ~ f , x/ " ..

'; MEMORANDml DATE: March 16 , 1984 TO: City Engineer City Cler' FROM: City Attorney RE: Smuggler Annexation Petition Ashley Anderson dropped off the enclosed copy of a City Council resolution dated February 7, 1963, recorded at Book 201, Page 145, Pitkin County Recorder's office, suggesting that a resolution passed on Mar_c.h_22, 1956, recognized that the "lands described as the East Aspen Addition were properly a part of the City of Aspen, Col~rado". Appended to this documentation is a survey of the Aspen Townsite Addition which suggests that the platted area lies within the present confines of the "Town of Aspen". I request that you immediately give me as much information as you may be able to ascertain from this documentation with reference to the pending Smuggler area petition for annexation election.

I request that you contact either my office or the City Clerk if you and your clients are interested in pursuing this matter fur- ther. If not, the City Council will act as advised on the peti- tion as presented. Very truly yours, Q\ - Paul J. Taddune City Attorney PJT/mc cc: James T. Moran, Esq. William L. S~~ling Kathryn S. KOC", . ~ ~ ' I~ 130 asp SPEN CITY reet 611 MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Kathryn Koch DATE: March 7, 1984 RE: Smuggler Area Annexation Petition Approved for Council packet My best research indicates t ere are 139 landowners in the proposed area to be annexed, n all of these are qualified electors. However, 10 per cent of the electors of the area is 14 signatures. I can certify to you there are 23 signatures on the Petition for Annexation Election that are both land owners and registered electors. To answer some of Paul Taddune's questions; there are 87 condominiums and 109, owners. Of the total landowners, 31 per cent signed the petition to annex or 16 per cent that I certified, and 1/2 per cent signed the petition protesting. The letter of protest was filed within the fourteen day time limit. I am recommending to you the petition is within substantial compliance of the annexation act. kk
