The unincorporated town is situated along a paved county road and on both banks of East Plum Creek, a tributary of the South Platte River. Tracks of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad pass through the community. The Perry Park Water and Sanitation District includes lands located north of Larkspur. The district's boundaries abut a part of the community. Service Area The service area is shown on Map 1 at the rear of this report. The proposed boundaries of the service area are drawn in red. The area includes approximately 1129.2 acres. The principal concern of the residents is to provide water and wastewater systems for the immediate Larkspur area. However, existing and new homes along Fox Farm Road south of Larkspur indicate the potential for new development and the need for adequate water and wastewater systems in that area. In addition, the American Federation of Human Rights owns most of Section 33 shown on Map 1. The Federation has expressed an interest in having all of their holdings included in the service area. The present low population density in areas outside of the Larkspur community itself may preclude construction of water and wastewater systems to those areas at present. However, continued growth may eventually make it economically feasible to extend water and wastewater systems throughout the proposed service area. 4
