Concurrent annexation/rezoning property located east of Sweetbriar Street and south of 43rd Avenue from County RA to City R-1 (Stimac/Folker/ Jemp1eman) (AI 78-13) Unanimously recommended by Planning Commission January 2, 1979 - Jim Saul, Planner, said that the annexation/rezoning involves approxi- mately three acres that is vacant at the present time. If the annexa- tion/ rezoning is approved, the owners intend to develop the property as a continuation of the Sweetbriar Subdivision. The first phases of the development have been plotted, and are in the first stages of development on property immediately west of this site. He noted the written findings for annexation include the City's normal standards for evaluation of annexation, namely, that the property is within the urban service boundary, and that annexation would be consistent with current City policy. A full range of urban services can be provided to the property, and the annexation would be a logical expansion to the city. The Planning Commission findings review the proposed annexation under the standards of the LCDC Administrative Rule, as well as suitable Statewide Goals and Guidelines. Mr. Saul noted one aspect of the annexation; it is important in order to provide an adequate street pattern, not only for this property, but for properties located to the south and to the east. The south properties are already in the city. The other properties are not within the city at this time, but are within the urban service boundary. A street through this property is the most feasible way to provide access to some of those properties. It is particularly important. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by the Councilors. Staff notes and minutes were entered into the record. Public hearing was opened. - 3/12/79--1 135
