The South Hills Studyis the applicable refinement plan for the area. The following policies from that plan areapplicable to this request (in italic text): Insure that annexation serves a public purpose as well as a private purpose That future annexation requests within the potential urban service area be evaluated upon the following bases: a.The ability of the community to provide public services for the potential development in an economic and efficient manner; and b.The previous maintenance of the property as a desirable residential environment (Note: if the City adopts an ordinance governing vegetation removal as a result of the present City Council subcommittee research, the standards set forth in that ordinance could provide the basis for evaluation previous maintenance of the property). As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services, consistent with the refinementplan policies above. Further, the proposed annexation facilitates development of a vacant property within the City’s UGB. This serves a public purpose because wastewater systems will be brought closer to other undeveloped properties. A private purpose isserved because annexation allows the property owner to develop the land. Finally, the annexation procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law. Based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of the South Hills Study. EC 9.7825(3)The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner. CompliesFindings: Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, YESNO efficient, and timely manner as detailed below: Wastewater Currently, there are no existing public wastewater lines available to serve this property. The applicant has submitted documentation establishing feasibility of orderly extension of the public wastewater system to serve the subject property per a Technical Memorandum prepared by Dennis Boeger, P.E. of Boeger & Associates, LLC, dated July 18, 2016. Although the precise location of the line has not yet been determined, the general alignment takes into consideration natural resources, setbacks, and slopes. Additionally, the applicant obtained and submitted consent from adjacent affected property owners per public utility easement documents which have been prepared, signed, and notarized; these drafts have been reviewed and approved and are ready for recordation -in anticipation of future construction of said wastewater pipes. As an informational item, there are no capital improvementsplanned to install public wastewater in this area at this time, and therefore, the proposed extension of public wastewater to serve the subject property would be reviewed through the privately engineered public improvement (PEPI) process, and financial surety would be the responsibility of the private developer. Stormwater Public stormwater systems are not available to serve this property. Development proposals must demonstrate consistency with flood control standards; retention may be a feasible option for this site if soil tests demonstrates adequate infiltration rates exist on-site and applicable stormwater McBirney Family Trust (A 16-5)September2016Page 2
