TO:Mayor and City Council
Subject:
Annexation of Property – 12440 Marystown Road
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve Resolution No. 7872, a resolution approving the annexation of property formerly known as 12440 Marystown Road (P.I.D. # 6-914004-2), and move the adoption.
Recommendation:
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their April 6, 2017 meeting, and by a 5-0 vote, recommended that the City Council approve the request, as it is generally consistent with the OAA regulations which govern this type of request.
Discussion:

D.R. Horton and the Eleanor F. Krohn Trust have submitted to the City an application for annexation of property formerly known as 12440 Marystown Road. The parcel in question is a single family residence on approx. 1.4 acres, excluding the adjacent right-of-way. D.R. Horton has recently entered into a purchase agreement for this property for inclusion in their proposed Windermere development, and for additional right-of-way for County Road 15.

Per the existing Orderly Annexation Agreement (OAA) between the City and Jackson Township, Sections II.2 & II.4, a land owner with property adjacent to the municipal boundary of the City may petition the City to annex their property in accordance with this agreement. This proposal is consistent with the agreement language, therefore, the applicant submitted the application for review/approval by the City.

 

Additionally, Staff recently received a letter from Timothy J. Keane, on behalf of the Jackson Town Board, regarding a request that no additional annexation applications be processed under the existing OAA until the updated OAA is complete.  That letter is attached to this report.

Budget Impact:
Annexation of this property would minimally increase the tax base of the City.
