SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Westerly property is located South of Erie Parkway and east of Weld County Road 5.
The Dearmin Property was annexed into the Town of Erie as the Horst Property in 1990. At that time the owner anticipated the property to be used as a landfill site.

The Swink Property was annexed into the Town of Erie in January 2020. The Board approved an Annexation Agreement that covered both the Swink and Dearmin portions of the property and included a Conceptual Plan for the overall Westerly development, which is intended to be developed as one master-planned mixed-use development.
In July 2020, the existing Westerly PUD Overlay was established.
