He stated that <br />this proposal received a favorable staff report and Planning Commission recom- <br />mendation. He said this offers an opportunity to protect the southern boundary <br />of the city and to complete its extension, He stated there has been much <br />concern about this area and that has resulted in the South Hills Study, which <br />restrains development and protects the public when development occurs, The <br />original request had contained 173 acres, but six acres have been acquired by <br />the City for a park. This request is for 165 acres, 59 of which are west of Fox <br />Hollow Road and 106 of which are east of Fox Hollow Roadr The 43 tax lots range <br />in size from two-tenths of an acre to 15-1/2 acres, with the average size less <br />th an four acres.

The proposed annexation is within the urban service boundary <br />and consistent with the 1990 Plan, the Metropolitan Plan Update, and the South <br />Hills Study, which designate the area for low-density residential development. <br />This area is also within the urban growth boundary. There is no prime agri- <br />cultural land in the proposed annexation and rnost of the soils are Class VI, <br />There is no commercial timber land within the property. Mr. DuPriest said this <br />'annexation should be approved because land is needed to maintain the City's <br />inventory of undeveloped land. He feels most of the people opposed to the <br />annexation are concerned about the livability of the area, The South Hill s <br />Study contains stringent guidelines for development in the area and those <br />constraints should meet the neighbors. concerns. He feels this would be a <br />good opportunity for the City to make the southern boundary rational and gain <br />control of development in the area, <br /> There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed, <br />Ms, Schue asked if people with those two split tax lots would have problems in <br />the future. Mr. Byrne stated that they do, not foresee any problems and would <br />like to leave partition judgments to the property owners, <br /> e <br /> 9/8/80--2 <br />
