. - '- . IIn answer to Councilman w~ lliams, Manager said the alleys in the block now occupied by Twin Oaks are not involved. Assistant Manager said that staff has est~mated the value of the City's interest at $64,000 - land value plus improvements, plus a major change in storm drainage or curb grade. Staff feels the $1.00 proffered is not acceptable. Manager cau- tioned about creating a public appearance of resisting the Federal project because of t;he number of years spent encouraging construction at that location. However, there is the obligation to see that the City is treated fairly. In answer to Councilman Williams, Assistant Manager said that franchise agreements are being reviewed with regard to any obligation of the City to remove privately- owned publi c utili ties from the alleys. He said so far nothing has been found, but that it would be a matter for the City Attorney to resolve. Franchise agree- ments generally provide that where the public interest is to be served, the public is not obligated to pay for removal of private facilities.

On questioning from Council members, Public Works Director said the facility is one of two systems which will serve the entire area. An agreement has been reached on deferring collection of assessment against the undeveloped property in return for easement. Properties in the ownership of those signing the petition plus the undeveloped area represent about 70% of the total square footage to be assessed.

Planning Commission on May 1, 1973 recommended that the Allender property be annexed and asked that the Council trans- mit that recommendation to the Boundary Commission for its May 3 hearing of the petition. The petition was initially filed with the Boundary Commission, so statutory time. limitations require action by.that body. If the Boundary Commission . approves the annexation;' it would appear the law suit is moot with regard to whe- ther the previous island annexation waslerJall!l..constituted.
