The City of Shakopee is proposing an Annexation of property east of Zumbro Avenue and south of Jackson Park; and MNDOT & DNR owned property located north of Mobile Manor Drive and west of Old Brick Yard Road (north & south of U.S. Highway 169).

The Annexation of these public rights-of-way/roadway easements are necessary due to development of land adjacent to these roadways. D.R. Horton has received annexation, zoning and platting of property along Zumbro Avenue south of CSAH 78, but there is a portion of Zumbro Avenue that is still in Jackson Township that should be annexed into the city as this roadway will become a city road, with the city and developer responsible for the construction and maintenance of this roadway.

Regarding the MNDOT & DNR right-of-way, that annexation was requested by Jackson Township and is logical as parcels surrounding that property have already been annexed into the City.  The city recently annexed Coburn since it will need to have access to Mobile Manor once the OPUS project is completed.  This action will make the city limits aligned.

This application request would be consistent with the Orderly Annexation Agreement (OAA) approved between Jackson Township and the City (this is in Areas B & C of the OAA), which states that these areas are eligible for annexation any time after December 31, 2017. Should this annexation be approved, other conditions identified within this OAA document shall be applied.
