Approval of the Resolution. BACKGROUND The Petersell Annexation submitted by Ridgegate at Pueblo LLC comprises 1.18 acres of the Arkansas Valley Conduit located south of Siena Drive and north of Colorado State Highway 78. The area to be annexed is located within the boundaries of the City of Pueblo's Master Annexation Plan. This Resolution determines that the Petersell Annexation is found and determined to meet the applicable requirements of the Colorado Revised Statutes 31 -12 -104 and 105 establishing eligibility for annexation under the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965. The findings and determination include: 1. The area proposed for annexation has at least one -sixth of its perimeter boundary that is contiguous with the boundaries of the City of Pueblo. 2. A community of interest exists between the area to be annexed and the City of Pueblo in that the area is urban or will be urbanized in the near future, and that the area to be annexed is integrated with or is capable of being integrated with the City of Pueblo. 3. The annexation petition contains signatures of 100% of the owners of the area to be annexed into the City of Pueblo. 4. The boundaries of the area to be annexed do not divide any land held in identical ownership into separate parts or parcels without the consent of the landowners. 5. The area to be annexed does not include, without the consent of the landowners, land held in identical ownership comprising twenty (20) acres or more which, together with the buildings and improvements situated thereon has an assessed value in excess of $200,000 for ad valorem tax purposes for the year preceding the annexation. FINANCIAL IMPACT The Petitioner acknowledges and agrees that upon the annexation of the area proposed to be annexed, the area shall become subject to the Charter, ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations of the City, but that the City shall have no obligation to furnish or extend municipal services, including but not limited to sanitary sewer services, to the area proposed to be annexed. The City of Pueblo will provide police and fire protection services to the property, in addition the public roads and sanitary sewer main extensions will be maintained by the City of Pueblo once they have been constructed and accepted by the City.
