Mayor Keller called the meeting to order at 5:20 p.m. Io PREPARATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING Mr. Croteau told councilors that at tonight's City Council meeting they would have two public hearings on the Amelia Coven annexation. There were four items of which they needed to be aware: 1) Mr. Croteau said he would explain the issue of annexation under the new processes adopted a year ago, 2) he wished to tell members why the hearing was before them (it was an appeal - hearing), 3) he wanted to layout the three options or decisions that the e councilors could make, and 4) he wanted to layout the rules the councilors were subject to. Mr. Croteau explained the new annexation process. The new rules now have the annexation and zone changes considered initially by the Planning Commission. These are two different types of land use applications but can he considered at the same time. The Planning Commission decision on zoning is final. It does not go to the City Council unless appealed. The annexation, on the other hand, is a Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council. In the case to be heard this evening, the Planning Commission voted 5:1 to approve the annexation subject to there being a recorded access filed. The City Council holds a first hearing to decide if they will hold a public hearing (a call for a public hearing). The City Council could decide to hold or not hold a public hearing, accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and adopt the resolution to be forwarded to the Boundary Commission. Mr. Croteau explained that the citizens opposed to the annexation had appealed the decision of the Planning Commission, and the City Council would have to hold a public hearing. Tonight would be an appeal hearing. To uphold the Planning Commission recommendation) the City Council would adopt a resolution approving the annexation and forwarding it on to the Boundary Commission. Mr. Obie asked if the City Council could deny the appeal. Mr. Sercombe suggested that he state the reasons for denial. This would be written as a finding and would be approved at the Wednesday meeting. e Mr. Croteau distributed a list of annexation and zone change criteria to be used as the basis of a decision.
