Title
ANNEXATION 2016-1: INITIAL PETITION FOR 37TH AVENUE/SUNSET WAY AREA
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Council Initiative: Preserve and enhance neighborhoods
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Marc Kinyon submitted a Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings to the City of Longview Community Development Department on June 1, 2016. The area proposed to be annexed consists of 1 tax parcel and is approximately 0.22 acres (9,580± sq. ft.) in size. The proposed annexation area includes 1 single-family home. The total valuation of the area is approximately $106,860.00.
In order to avoid an irregular city boundary, staff is recommending that three additional properties and portion of Sunset Way be added to the annexation area. This recommendation is given in the attached staff report. A map showing the initial annexation area and the proposed expansion area is also attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to: 1.) accept the proposed annexation request plus three additional properties and a portion of the Sunset Way right-of-way; 2.) transmit the annexation request to the City Planning Commission for a recommendation on the zoning designation for the subject properties; 3.) require the assumption of any existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed; and 4.) direct staff to coordinate with the applicant in preparing the 60% petition to be circulated by the property owner(s).
