. Mr. Saul, Planning Department, noted several annexations had been considered, reviewed, and approved in this area within the last few years. He said the property is located within the projected urban service area, that urban services and facilities can be extended to serve the property, that the area is contiguous to the existing city limits along the south and west boundaries, and that the annexation represents a logical and sequential ex- pansion of the city. He noted that if the area were annexed it would be developed into a subdivision of 24 lots. Public Hearing was held with no testimony presented. Resolution No. 2638--Forwarding to Boundary Commission recom- mendation for annexation of property located along west side of Gilham Road, north of Crescent Avenue was read by number and title. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote. The motion carried, with all council members present voting aye except Mr. Bradley voting no. I-A-4 e 2. Parcel approximately 11.9 acres located south of Centennial Boulevard, east of Alton Baker Park, and west of Chevy Chase Subdivision (Meltebeke) (A 76-18) Recommended by Planning Commission at its meeting of February 7, 1977. Mr. Saul, Planning Department, noted the area of this request abuts the existing city limits of Eugene along its eastern edge. The stated intent of the applicant's request for annexation is to develop the property in a single-family lot subdivision. The area directly east of the subject site was annexed in 1962, the majority of the property was annexed in 1962 and 1964, and at the time those requests were approved, it was noted that while other city services were available, sewer service could be extended to the area. The Planning Commission noted that the property is within the projec- ted urban service area with all services available except sanitary sewers. Mr. Saul said reasons for the Planning Commission recommenda- tion for annexation were: the County Commissioners considered rezoning in 1976 but denied the annexation feeling that the area should be within the city for development; the owners have agreed to annex at the request of the City; the City has already established the practice of annexation in the area; the Planning Commission felt it would be better to have the property within the City prior to new de- velopment; and several lots east of the site are in the situation of having one-half the lots in the city and one-half the lots in the county, which creates administrative problems. Public hearing was opened. Pearl Kuhn, 47 Bar M Drive, spoke as a representative of Mr. Meltebeke indicating she was in attendence to answer questions, and was in favor of the annexation. e March 14, 1977--Page 3 19q
