Annexation hearing for Messick-Dangler parcel postponed after notice error
Summary
A request to annex a 27.2-acre Mesa County parcel (37830 Road) and apply P-2 zoning was presented and recommended for approval by staff but was not acted on after staff confirmed public notices were inaccurate; the item was rescheduled for Oct. 28.
City staff presented the Messick-Dangler annexation on Oct. 14, describing a 27.2-acre Mesa County parcel at 37830 Road that includes a largely fabricated lake, a single-residence and a wedding venue. Principal planner Tim Laerbach told the Planning Commission staff recommended annexation and P-2 (public, civic and institutional campus) zoning, finding the request consistent with the comprehensive plan and appropriate for infill and redevelopment.
During commissioner questioning, a discrepancy surfaced: the meeting agenda listed the property as 6.43 acres while staff cited 27.2 acres. Kim Kirk of Kim Kirkland Consulting and Development told commissioners the 6.43 figure referred to the portion of the parcel that is not underwater and said neighborhood notices had been mailed. After a short recess to verify notice, Laerbach returned and corrected an earlier statement: "Proper notice on this application was not given." Staff said the item must be rescheduled for Oct. 28 with corrected notice; no action was taken that evening and the planner noted the scheduled city council review on Nov. 5 would not be affected.
The commission did not vote on the annexation and will consider the item again once notice has been corrected.
