a. It is policy that the City does not force annexations, it is preferred that the
citizen come forth to request annexation.

Exception is that if a parcel is not contiguous to the city limits, the owner
has been required to sign a non-remonstrance agreement.

121st Avenue.
b. The parcel is 33 acres, zoned R-4.5 PD. There will be 64 lots on
approximately 15 of the acres, lots will average 9500 square feet. The
balance will not be developed due to its topography and is available for a
park.

the extension.

a. David Bantz of OTAK presented more detailed plans, a variance request
to extend the cul-de-sacs by 20 feet, and an alleyway between the backs
of some lots to provide for access to sewer manholes.
b. At the southern line of the development, an open, grassy runoff drainage
area is planned and will slope to a street drain in the subdivision to the
east.
C. Half-street improvements will be made to Bull Mountain Road and curbs
and sidewalks set.
d. Motion was made and seconded that the above subdivision have all
services brought to the property lines of abutting properties, that is water,
sewer, surface drainage lines including any large drainage area to collect
the water, electric lines, roads, at least 1/2 street improvements with curbs

7. Other Business.
a. Cal Woolery of NPO #7 thanked us for our support of the Community
Commercial Comprehensive Plan change.
b. Liz dropped off information regarding a zone change request that will be on
the agenda next time for property owned by Phyllis Anderson at 11550 SW
Bull Mountain Road. The request is for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
from Professional Office and Low Density to Medium High Density. Zone
change from R-4.5 to R-25. NPO#3 strongly opposes any zone change for
this property. There is not a 400' site distance on Bull Mountain Road and
the transportation system needs to be coordinated with the property below
and to the east of this parcel.
