From the Loveland City Council meeting of

The proposal would annex 5.622 acres at 408 14th Street SE and zone the property I – Developing Industrial. The zoning would allow a 4,229 s.f. commercial building for Earth Green Fencing Company’s expansion; the existing residence could remain as a legal nonconforming use until redevelopment, but could not be expanded. The proposed agreements would require the owners to pay annexation costs and City fees, build required public improvements at their expense, submit building permits to Loveland and follow City development regulations. Loveland would provide wastewater service and electrical service subject to an agreement with Xcel Energy. The City Council determined that no election was required and imposed no additional annexation conditions.

Motion carried.
