<br />Manager said the item came at Council IS request to consider annexation/
<br />rezonings in the Willakenzie area because of their frequent piecemeal
<br />occurrence. There are seven island annexations, three of which are
<br />being considered tonight. The three to be considered were: Island
<br />Area 1, including property located along Tulip and Balboa streets,
<br />Green Acres Road. and Holly Avenue; Area 7, including property located
<br />along Hickory Avenue, Sisters View, Mahlon Avenue, Westward Ho Avenue,
<br />Oxbow Way, Garden Way, Conestoga Way, Honeysuckle and Van Duyn streets;
<br />and Area 8, including property in the Bar M Subdivision, property
<br />along Willakenzie Road, Best Lane, Van Avenue, Bogart Lane, Bailey
<br />Lane, Randall Street, and Arcadia Street.
<br />
<br />Dr. John MacKinnon, Jr., President, Planning Commission, said the
<br />Planning Commission and Council, in the past several years, had had
<br />to deal with annexation requests in the Willakenzie area on a piece-
<br />meal basis. This resulted in illogical city borders. The areas to
<br />be considered are island areas, surrounded entirely by city limits.
<br />It became obvious to the Planning Commission that all of these areas,
<br />as a whole, should be looked at. There are eight identifiable areas,
<br />three of which were chosen for the initial annexation/rezoning. These
<br />areas are primarily residential developments, have zoning which con-
<br />forms to the General Plan, and the City can provide services in the
<br />near future. In June 1978, the Planning Commission asked the Council
<br />to proceed, with public hearings held by the Planning Commission in
<br />November. Written testimony was taken and discussed further.
