They argued that the request for annexation was premature. Robert Suess, 260 East 38th, objected to presentatinn of the letter without opportunity for proponents to rebut. 4It Neil Jongerward, 2863 Lydick Way, pointed out that the property in question is within the urban service boundary and that the Public Works Department has indicated City services can be provided. In answer to Councilman , Williams, Manager said the property can be serviced by an existing sewer serving the'Crest Drive school. With regard to the urban service, boundary in this area, there are two ridge lines delineating drainage areas and service boundaries are determined using ridge lines as part of the criteria. . Councilwoman Beal wondered if the Planning Commission recommendation would have been different had it received the letter written by the Crest Drive group. Planning Director said the overruling factor in the Planning Commission's deliberations was that its action should be consistent with previous action of favorable recommendation on this annexation request. He said the staff presented to the Commission the same position presented in the letter from the Crest Drive group, that the annexation request was premature. Councilman Wood expressed concern about extending City services to the area, particularly fire protection. He reminded the Council of concerns with regard to effect development in that area would have on schools and said the 1990 Plan should be given a close look with regard to the urban service boundary. Councilman Hershner inquired about the time frame for the South Hills study in relation to the original request for annexation of this area. Manager said the original recommendation for a moratorium on-development in the south hills was to limit densities on planned unit developments and allow no new annexations. However, the Council at that time felt new annexations should be considered on an individual basis. Planning Director added that the south hills study is expected to be completed at the end of this year. He said this original annexation was held at staff level, and annexation of a larger area eventually recommended after the moratorium was established. Councilman Murray and Councilwoman Campbell fe~t this annexation should be postponed. As members of the Joint Parks Committee they were concerned aoout development in the south hills area and possibility of jeopardizing plans for a ridge line park.
