Staff Report - Req to Circulate Petition April 2005City of Yelm
STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor Adam Rivas
Yelm City Council
From: Grant Beck, Director of Community Development
Date: April 5, 2005 (for April 13 City Council Meeting)
Subj: Annexation Petition -Denny Balascio
Recommendation
The Council should authorize the circulation of an annexation petition for western 5
acres of the 10 acre Suburban Realty parcel utilizing either the petition method or the
alternate petition method of annexation, to require the properties within the annexation
area to assume their share of the existing City indebtedness and identify the
Comprehensive Plan Designation of the annexed parcels as Moderate Density
Residential (R-6).
Background
At its regular meeting of December 8, 2004, the City Council authorized Denny Balascio
to circulate a petition for annexation. Mr. Balascio has circulated the petition within the
annexation area as modified by the City Council and has failed to obtain the required
signatures for the annexation to proceed. Based on the comments received, it will not
be possible under either annexation method to obtain sufficient signatures to annex the
property and include Sunnyland Estates.
Mr. Balascio is requesting the Council authorize the circulation of a petition for a
modified annexation area, limited to the property in which he has ownership interest (the
Suburban Realty parcel).
The Council had approved the staff recommended boundaries for the proposed
annexation, being Mr. Balascio's parcel and the lots within Sunnyland Estates
subdivision, in order to create a logical and `clean' City boundary. The City mailed a
postcard to each property owner within Sunnyland Estates and received only 5 positive
or neutral responses from the 20 lots within the development, which proves insufficient
to proceed with an annexation of this area.
April 5, 2005 Page 1 of 2
Current Situation
The revised annexation boundaries would not form a logical urban boundary, creating a
`peninsula' of City surrounded on three sides by County land. Allowing such an
annexation to proceed effectively decreases the potential of future annexation of lands
already developed at urban densities located in the County by leaving only pockets of
areas in the County in which the residents have indicated an unwillingness to annex.
In favor of allowing the revised annexation to proceed, however, is the fact that the
Suburban Realty parcel is within the Local Improvement District for the sewer system
and has purchased 32 ERU connections to the sewer system at a cost of $64,000.00.
The property is subject to the assessment and interest, which is being paid off over a 15
year period. However, without being annexed into the City, the property will not benefit
from the assessment as the property remains zoned 1 home per 5 acres in the County
until annexation.
Allowing a revised annexation which only includes the western 5 acres of the Suburban
Realty parcel would minimize the logical boundary issue and would avoid the creation of
a small portion of City street along Grove Road. The peninsula of City created under
this scenario is minimized, and options for future annexation remain open.
This alternative would also allow the 32 LID assessments to be used, as 5 acres can
easily support 32 lots in the R-6 zoning district.

MEMORAND UM
City of Yelm
Community Development Department
To: Sunnyland Estates Property Owners
From: Grant Beck, Director of Community Development
Date: January 26, 2005
Subj: Annexation Petition
Denny Balascio (Yelm Property Development) has petitioned the City of Yelm to annex
a 10 acre parcel of land located directly north of Sunnyland Estates into the City of
Yelm.
The City Council reviewed this request on December 8, 2004, and authorized Mr.
Balascio to circulate the petition for annexation with the provision that Sunnyland
Estates be included in the potential annexation area. The reason's for including your
development in the potential annexation is to make a more logical City boundary rather
than create a peninsula of County land surrounded by the City. Also, as you know, the
City currently provides some urban services (water) to Sunnyland Estates.
In order to proceed with the Annexation, Mr. Balascio will need to collect the signatures
of either 60% of the property owners based on the value of the property OR 50% of the
property owners by gross area and 50% of the registered voters.
Included with this letter is information regarding City services and a postage paid
postcard which indicating your interest in the potential annexation.
If you have any questions regarding annexation or City services, please don't hesitate to
contact the Community Development Department.
