MR. JUSTICE LEE
specially concurring:
On the facts of this case, I concur in the result reached by the court. However, I wish to strongly endorse the majority’s comment that “the procedures followed are not to be recommended.” Article XX, Section 1 of the Colorado Constitution provides that the general annexation statutes apply with full force to respondent City and County of Denver. Adherence to the procedural requirements of the annexation statutes would eliminate many unnecessary controversies and obviate the need for repeated judicial review.
I am authorized to state that MR. JLISTICE HODGES joins me in this special concurrence.
