Dear Mr. Roberts:
Attached is a copy of an Annexation Petition for your use in your request to annex property north of Coates Road into the City of Yelm.
As you know, the City Council authorized the circulation of the annexation petition utilizing either the petition method or alternate petition method. For your convenience, I have included
all the information for both methods in the enclosed petition. There is a signature block for each property owner within the proposed annexation area, listing both the assessed value
and the gross acreage of their property. In addition, the petition contains a signature page for all registered voters living in the dwellings within the annexation area.
To qualify as a direct petition method annexation, you must return the petition with the signatures of a majority of the property owners based on assessed value.
To qualify as a alternate petition method annexation, you must return the petition with the signatures of a majority of the property owners based on gross area AND a majority of registered
voters residing in the annexation area.
If you have any questions regarding the petition, please do not hesitate to contact the Community Development Department at 458-8408.
Sincerely,
Grant Beck, Director
Department of Community Development
