Ken Waido gave staff description noting two letters had been received May 14 from property owners in the area: Mr. & Mrs. Rinne expressed concern with the design of the subdivision streets, access and safety. Since this did not deal with the annexation issue the letter was forwarded to the County Commissioners. A letter from Thomas Fay expressed concern over the City's involuntary annexation of two 10-foot wide lots on the periphery of this subdivision. Mr. Waido explained the City agreed not to involuntarily annex Taft Canyon prior to March 1, 1991. John Sample, 4204 Trowbridge, stood up and indicated his opposition to the annexations. He was on a fixed income and felt improvement costs would impose a hardship, building permit prices would rise, property would be harder to sell. Mr. Waido explained the infrastructure would not require upgrading, the sub- division could retain its present water and sewer arrangement unless the residents wanted to upgrade or if sanitary systems failed and the health department required upgrade. At that time a special assessment district could be formed. Building permit costs should not affect market pricing. Davis Fields, 4328 Picadilly, felt the City and developer had agreed to annexing a funny lot to hinder the subdivisions ability to remain in the County. The implications of this proposal should have been explained more fully in the letter. Mr. Waido pointed out these two annexations will not create an enclave as there is an additional 3/4 mile of additional perimeter needed. Mr. Fields indicated he understood the City's intend. Mr. Waido went on to explain the City and the County created the Urban Growth Agreement, of which Taft Canyon was a part, and wanted to annex the UGA as soon as the properties were eligible. The County's responsibility of providing urban services (road maintenance and police protection) would then be released. Member Edwards added that if Mr. Fields' concerns were not adequately addressed the Board was merely making a recommendation to City Council and he could discuss this with Council. Member Crews felt two motions would be required on this item. Member Strap moved to approve Taft Canyon First Annexation and Zoning, l Member O'Dell seconded. Motion carried 7-0. J Member Brown moved to approve Taft Canyon Second Annexation and Zoning, Member O'Dell seconded. Motion carried 7-0.
