At 7:34 PM, the Public Hearing on the amended Mt. View Annexation and zoning

Staff Todd Stamm explained the boundaries described in Resolution No. 262 and
the zoning recommended by the Planning Commission. A letter dated September
23 was presented to Councilmem~bers from Henrietta Morey-Allen asking that her
1.5 acre piece~of property immediately north of the Scheidt piece be included.
in the annexation with a request for single-family (R-1) zoning. Stamm ex-~~
plained that Ms. Morey-Allen's piece is included in the legal description of
Resolution No. 262 since it is adjacent to Burnett Rd. and takes the northern
annexation boundary to the end of Burnett. However, the Planning Commission
reco~m~ends residential-agriculture (RA-1-5) zoning until services .become
available. .
A letter dated September 14 was presented to Counci_1 from Juan and Denise
Rodriguez requesting that their 10-acre piece of property north of the Morey-
Allen piece also be included in the annexation. This request would deJ_ay the.
adoption of Resolution No. 262 as 'it is not included in the legal descrip-
tion. Staff explained that the property is not included as it exceeds the
end of Burnett FZd. Stamm recommended that the request be closed and proper-
ties beyond Burnett Rd. submit a separate petition so as not to delay the
original petitioners any longer.
Denise Rodriguez, 3916 E. 276th, Spanaway: Stated that she believes she is
adjacent to Burnett Rd. right-of-way and that she should be included in the
annexation. She asked what the fee would be for annexation of her property
if not included in the Mt. View Rd. request before Council tonight? Stamm
will research the state statute to determine if the Rodriguez piece would be
eligibJ_e for a Boundary Review Board waiver, thus reducing the annexation fee
the origina pe
and feels it is time for the City to act on the proposed Resolution.
to $250.00. "
Eric Anderson, 8924 Burnett Rd.: Stated that sooner or later it is unfair to
1 titioners to keep adding properties and delaying the process
