Written Communications:
Report dated February 9, 1988, from the Assistant City Manager, discussing the
issues raised by property owners in the area and the City's response to those
concerns. The concerns included the possibility of higher building fees; treatment of
plans in process with the County; and, City development standards, such as building
color and height, outdoor lighting and tennis court construction. In each instance,
regulations were adopted which clarify the City's position. The report noted that if
more than 50% of the registered voters living within the annexation area protest,
the annexation must be terminated and abandoned. If 25% to 50% of the registered
voters protest, or if at least 25% of the number of landowners owning at least 25%
of the assessed valuation protest, an election must be held to confirm the
annexation.
Introduction/Report by Staff:
Mayor Bland advised that the meeting had been called specifically for review of the
proposed annexation, and noted the procedures to be followed during the meeting.
The Assistant City Manager made an oral report, noting that the area was
completely within the City's sphere of influence. Annexation would provide City
jurisdiction over an area which contributes substantial runoff into the City's storm
drainage system and over the western viewshed. He advised that 23 written protests
had been received and were on file with the City Clerk.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Bland opened the Public Hearing
and the following person spoke in opposition to the proposed annexation:
(1) Dean Dawson, 6 Burning Tree.
There being no further response, Mayor Bland closed the Hearing with the
right to re -open at any time.
Discussion ensued regarding the need to verify signatures of registered voters
who had filed protests. The City Attorney recommended that the Hearing be
re -opened and continued to the meeting of March 1, 1988, at which time
additional protests or withdrawals could be considered.
Continuation of Hearing:
Mayor Bland re -opened the Public Hearing and it was moved by Councilman
Hausdorfer, seconded by Councilman Friess and unanimously carried to
continue the Hearing to the meeting of March 1, 1988.
