Item 7 - #94-88 - ANTON ANNEXATION AND ZONING
Ken Waido gave the staff report and indicated the reason for annexation was
failure of property owner's septic system and replacement by a City sewer
connection.
Jack Ahnstedt, 2813 Taft Hill, appreciated the Board's continuing the item to
this meeting but had several questions on the necessity of annexation. He
had lived on Lot 10 about 18 years and said his abstract indicated "no
lots shall ever be used for any purpose other than ordinary residential."
Mr. Waido stated a prior property had not been annexed because the boundary
was not contiguous. Mr. Eckman stated the City did not rule on private
covenants. A private remedy would be enforced through the court system and
was not within the jurisdiction of the Board.
Mr. Ahnstedt went on to point out Anton's own two acres and he and his
neighbors represented 12 acres. At least two of the proposed lots were in the
floodplain.
Mr. Waido pointed out this proposal tonight was for an annexation. The
property was a part of a subdivision with single family a use by
right. Also included as allowed uses would be schools, recreational uses,
churches, and utility installations.

Lawana Garrett, 2815 Taft Hill, felt Anton's short stay of one year did not
indicate a long-term investment. She felt the Anton's intent was to make
the lots more marketable through annexation. The neighborhood had become
frustrated by their input not being considered.
Jim Abrams, 2807 Taft Hill, indicated the sewer was a health hazard when it
was built and felt the planners should check sewer requests carefully.
Member Edwards stated the arguments regarded someone's rights as
opposed to another person's rights and the Anton's had the right to annex
their property.
Member Edwards moved to recommend approval of the annexation and zoning
request and Member Shepard seconded. The motion carried 6-0.
