HEARING:
1. Statement: Consideration of Voluntary Annexation of Property Located South of
Koestner, East of Summer, West of Fourteenth Street, Approximately 16.76 Acres
COMMENTS: The Development Director stated that the City had received a request from Mitch
Taylor requesting the voluntary annexation of 16.76 acres of land located south of Pheasant Run
Subdivision, east of Summer Street, and West of 14th Street. He stated that in April 1997 the
City received a request to annex the property on behalf of Mrs. Helen Schweizer. He stated that
after the request had been approved by the City Planning Commission, the petitioner withdrew
her request and therefore the annexation request had never been forwarded to the City Council
for approval. He stated that in July 1998 the City Council approved the preliminary plat of Deer
Pointe Subdivision subject to conditions. He stated that while the City will extend major utilities
to the area with the petitioner paying his fair share, the costs associated with those public
improvements that would directly benefit the proposed subdivision would be the sole
responsibility of the petitioner. He stated that the Council would be approving the final plat of
Deer Pointe Subdivision within the next thirty to sixty days. He stated that the storm water
management plan would be dealt with prior to the approval of the final plat. Mitch Taylor stated
that it was his intention to build single family homes. He stated that he could not promise thirty-one lots, but that he could promise that the City would grow by 17 acres. He urged the Council
to decide what they want from the subdivision. Dick Dillon of 6341 Summer Street and Howard
Whitcomb of 1611 Koestner stated their concern for storm water drainage in the area. Howard
Whitcomb of 1611 Koestner also stated his concern that Koestner was the only through Street
and has more and more traffic traveling on it now. The City Manager stated that the storm water
management and street planning would best be answered during approval of the final plat and not
at the annexation. Vicky Dillon of 6341 Summer Street questioned when she can expect water
service. The Development Director encouraged Vicky Dillon to make a request to the City for
Rathburn Water with conditions. Council Member Henry stated that he had no problem with the
proposed annexation. He stated that Council would be looking at a storm water management
plan at the final plat approval. He further stated that Council would do whatever was compatible
with the comprehensive plan. All present had opportunity to speak and nothing additional was
filed in the office of the City Clerk.
