ANNEXATION ORDINANCE # 194 - Annexing certain land known as "Northside Plaza"

Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council have both held hearings
on the annexation. The ordinance has been read at the two previous
council meetings. The council has sent a letter to all property owners
informing them that they are considering the ordinance this evening.
Many property owners were in attendance and the following are some of
their concerns.
Marcia Wafford, Homestead Rd., asked if city annexes their area, if they
would be required to hook up to the water and sewer. Mayor Cotant told
her they would not be required to hook up to these utilities immediately.
James Walton, Hawthorne Rd., told council he understood from the hearing
in March that the city was not planning to annex any of the farming
property which lies north of the Dell Road area.
Leland Dial, Dell Road, said he understood the city has police jurisdiction
on Dell Road. Attorney Burnett explained the procedure df police protection
in county and city, that they do have a verbal reciprocal agreement to
assist each other with some cross deputization.
George Bartschi, Homestead Rd., asked if fire insurance costs would be
affected by annexation. Councilman Fullmer said it depends on the Company,
type of fire protection available, value and construction of home.
Ferrin Harker, Hawthorne Rd., asked if restrictive covenants would still
be applicable. Mayor told him that their restrictive covenants would still
be applicable unless the city ordinances were more restrictive and in that
case the city would enforce the city ordinances.
Ray England, Hawthorne Rd., told mayor and council that they are
not interested in developing their property and asked not to be annexed,
as their ground was primarily farm ground.
Eugene Pickens, Hawthorne Rd., asked if they would be required to comply
with the dog ordinance, he was told yes.
Dave Lemmon, Siphon Rd., said he would like to go on record as opposing
the annexation.
Mayor and council discussed with those present the possibility of sewage
contimating the water level and the control of dogs in the area. The
residents in the area to be annexed were very concerned that the city
would force them to hook onto the sewer and water utilities right away.
