Appeal: This area began as a 668-acre subdivision located just seven miles north of Boulder back in 1963 shortly after construction of IBM's plant near 63rd Street and Colorado Hwy. 119. The City of Boulder had agreed to extend utility lines and to annex it into Boulder with 3 - 5 years, and today it has still remained outside of Boulder. The residents are served by volunteer fire firefighters and the County Sheriffs.

Local facts: The City of Boulder had agreed to extend utility lines and to annex it into Boulder with 3 - 5 years, and today it has still remained outside of Boulder. The residents are served by volunteer fire firefighters and the County Sheriffs. In 1993, the county residents established a General Improvement District to acquire open space and improve their streets. Residents have rejected two major annexation attempts, though some minor residential areas have been annexed. The area is governed by the Boulder County Commissioners and the Boulder City Council.
