e e - Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith. to approve the Community Development Block Grant Application for submittal to HUD as recommended by CDC; with reprogramming of $5,500 into the Archi- tectural Barrier Project as money becomes available from previous years' grants. Motion carried unanimously. B. Concurrent Annexation/Rezoning property located generally northeast of Dillard Road (Rodman/Shinn)(A/Z 78-14) Unanimously recommended by Planning Commission on December 12, 1978. Jim Saul, Planner, said the annexation/rezoning involves 19.8 acres. It is a portion of a larger tract in excess of 100 acres. A portion of that 100 acres is located beyond the ridgeline and would not be suitable for annexation under present policies. The remaining portion is within the urban service boundary but is extremely steep, would not be susceptible to development, and thus was excluded from this application. He noted the written findings for annexation included the City's normal standards, pertinent portions of the LCDC Administrative Rule, and Statewide Goals, which would be applicable (Nos. 5, 7, 10, 11, and 14). He noted an unusual aspect of this request in that the 19.8 acres surrounds 4.32 acres owned by Bernice Sisney. Prior to the Planning Commission hearing, staff was unable to determine whether or not Ms. Sisney favored or opposed annexation. The Planning Commission thus did recommend inclusion of her property. Subsequent to the Planning Commission hearing, the owner did contact the Planning Department and did not want annexation. Therefore Council was faced with two options: 1) Exclude the Sisney property, thus creating an island; or 2) include the property in the recommendation to the Boundary Commission. He noted if Council took the latter action, it would run the risk that the owner could petition for election and defeat the entire annexation. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Councilors. Staff Notes and minutes were entered into the record. Public hearing was held with no testimony presented. Res. No. 3083--Recommending to Boundary Commission annexation of property located generally northeast of Dillard Road (Rodman/Shinn)(A/Z 78-14) was read by number and title. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that findings supporting the annexation as set forth in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of December 12, 1978, be adopted by reference thereto; and that the resolution be adopted. Ms. Smith moved to delete the Sisney property from the annexation. Motion died for a lack of a second. 2/26/79--5 110
