jections of those people being encircled, the question becomes one of when the appropriate time would be. If annexation depended solely upon the consent ~, of the people being encircled, it could be a long time before the issue was .., even considered. Mr.Saul also cited testimony before the Commission relative to the need for. additional property to round out the use of this area. Councilman Murray asked if previous reference to extending sewers across prop- erty not now within the city applied to areas along Balboa and Greenacres Streets. Mr. Saul answered that the primary location is on Tulip Street. Councilman Haws asked if there was any idea of when the property on Tulip Street would be annexed should the area under consideration be added to the city. Mr. Saul answered that if the resolution as presented was adopted, the prop- erties along Tulip, Balboa, and others as shown on the map, would be excluded and would become islands. He added that the Council had the option of recom- mending the inclusion of those additional areas. In further response to Mr.Haws, Mr. Saul said there were several such islands in the city now - in the Good- pasture Island area, and south of Belt Line Road. Councilman Murray asked if it would be appropriate to concurrently recommend annexation of the subject property and refer to the Planning Commission for recommendation the island areas that would be created. Manager thought such action might stir up a remonstrance. The reason the "island" properties were not included in this annexation proposal, he said, was because there would be sufficient votes from those people to throw out the entire proposal. At Mr. Murray's suggestion that the two would be considered as two separate issues, Manager replied that it might not be too productive an exercise. Resolution No. 2501 - Transmitting to the Boundary Commission recom- mendation to annex property north of Holly Avenue between Delta Highway and Gilham Road was read by number and title. - - Mr. Haws moved second by Mrs. Beal to adopt the resolution. Motion carried - Council members Haws, Beal, Murray, and Hamel voting aye; Councilwoman Shirey voting no. B. Appeal from Planning Commission denial of zone change at southwest corner of I-A-2 11th and Patterson - From R-2 to H-Historic (Calkins House)(Z 76-1) Appeal was filed by the Historic Review Board after rezoning was denied by the Planning Commission on April 6, 1976. Manager explained that the property owner, Harry Ritchie, through his attorney, Vern Gleaves, had asked for postponement. Members of the Historic Review Board had been contacted, he said. Some expressed the hope that the issue would be resolved not later than June 14. Jim Saul, planner, said that one of the Board members had asked that the hearing be held not later than June 14, if it was postponed, because he would be out of the country the latter part of June. In addition, Jan Muller, chairman of the Board, indicated some unforeseen business and was not able to attend the meeting this evening. Attorney Vern Gleaves, upon questioning from Councilman Murray, said postponement to the June 14 Council meeting was satisfactory with his client. Mr. Haws moved second by Mrs. Beal to postpone hearing on the Calkins House appeal to the June 14 Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. -- 5/10/76 - 2 ~1i1f
