RECONSIDER AND ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 3970 TO
ANNEX PART OF JOHNSON'S 4TH ADDITION
Re-consideration of Ordinance No. 3970 entitled "An ordinance to annex all of Lots A, B and C except the previous annexed south 50 feet of Lots A and B thereof, Johnson's 4th Addition to the city of Grand Forks, North Dakota", which had been adopted on May 5, 2003, with reconsideration of adoption of the ordinance approved on May 19, 2003.
Mayor Brown opened the public hearing. There were no comments and the public hearing was closed.
Council Member Kreun stated he had received a call today that Mr. Crary was out of town, that Mr. Crary's request was to bring in Lot B, that Planning and Zoning indicated that they would require annexation of Lots A and C as well because of access and that Mr. Crary had stated he only needed the access from Lot A and questioned annexation of Lot C; there was some language written that indicates that it is only to be taxed or special assessed at his request to be brought in, not when forced to be brought in, and would like that to be discussed.
It was noted there is not an access road or development on Lot C; that they need to have access to Lot B and Lot A would be logical annexation. Mr. Grasser stated they have a site plan in the office and shows frontage road through Lots C and A, not sure whether he will actually develop those lots now but could build on Lots A and C from the approval. He stated that once they approve the site plan it shows access and would not preclude him from being able to build on the entire drawing. There was some discussion re. future annexation of Lot C, Mr. Grasser stated he didn't believe there was any trigger to bring it back to the city council and Lot A doesn't leave an island of unannexed property within the city, but does recognize that the frontage road would lay on Lot C.
Howard Swanson, city attorney, stated the decision as to whether or not this council will annex property is discretionary decision of the council, not dependent upon immediate or imminent plans of development or present development, some of the areas to look at would be future uses or future development. He also noted there is no provision in the agreement with respect to this particular property that prohibits or precludes from annexation; and stated that the City has no authority to place special assessments against property outside the city limits and doesn't find anything in the agreement to preclude annexation, not obligated to annex nor precluded from, and is a matter of discretion.
Dennis Potter, city planner, reported that Planning and Zoning voted to annex Lot B, as they recognized that the property owner would have the right to protest it out if tried to annex all three lots, the council voted to annex all three lots.
After further discussion it was moved by Council Member Christensen to annex Lots A, B and C as previously adopted. Council Member Kerian seconded the motion.
Council Member Glassheim moved to amend the motion to delete annexation of Lot C, Council Member Kreun seconded the amendment. Upon roll call the following voted "aye": Council Members Glassheim, Kreun - 2; voting "nay": Council Members Hamerlik, Gershman, Christensen, Kerian, Brooks - 5.
