Appeal is hereby made pursuant to §32-1-501, et seq., C.R.S. (the"Exclusion Statute")and, specifically, §32-1-501(5)(b)(1).

Starview initiated that process by submitting its petition for exclusion to CMD's Board through its counsel.Notice of the petition for exclusion and notice of the scheduled meeting to hear the petition for exclusion were properly published. Petitioner, through undersigned counsel, presented its case to CMD's Board concerning the reasons the Property should be excluded at a meeting held on July 9, 2021.

After each presentation, the CMD Board allowed for public comment from CMD property owners. No property owners objected to exclusion of the Property from CMD's borders.After public comment,the CMD Board took the matter under advisement to make its decision at its next regularly scheduled meeting on September 10, 2021. The Board opened its September 10th meeting and voted to deny Starview's petition for exclusion.This appeal follows. Appeal of the CMD Board's Decision and the Record On behalf of Starview, undersigned counsel hereby appeals the CMD Board's decision to deny exclusion of the Property from its boundaries. The Exclusion Statute provides that the BoCC shall consider the factors set forth in §32-1-501(3)(a)—(h), C.R.S. and make a determination whether to exclude the Property from CMD's boundaries.
