PROPOSAL: To annex property as shown on the attached annexation plan. OVERVIEW: This property is contiguous with the Grand Island City Limits. The owners have requested this annexation. This property is within the Grand Island Utilities Electrical Service District. This property is within the Cedar Hollow/Northwest School Districts. The annexation of this property will impact the two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction of Grand Island extending it as shown on the map attached. The planning commission will hold a public hearing on an amended zoning map at their next meeting. RECOMMENDATION: That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council annex this property as presented. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director ANNEXATION PLAN –November 2005 November 14, 2005 OVERVIEW Section 16-117 of The Nebraska State Statute allows municipalities of the first class to annex any contiguous or adjacent lands, lots, tracts, streets, or highways that are urban or suburban in character and in such direction as may be deemed proper. Regulations governing municipal annexation were implemented in order to develop an equitable system for adding to and increasing city boundaries as urban growth occurs. Areas of the community that are urban in nature, and are contiguous to existing boundaries, are appropriate for consideration of annexation. Annexation of urban areas adjacent to existing city boundaries can be driven by many factors. The following are reasons annexation should be considered: 1. Governing urban areas with the statutorily created urban form of government, municipalities have historically been charged with meeting the needs of the expanded community. 2. Provide municipal services. Municipalities are created to provide the governmental services essential for sound urban development and for the protection of health, safety and well being of residents in areas that are used primarily for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes. 3. Ensure orderly growth pursuant to land use, building, street, sidewalk, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and electrical services. 4. Provide more equitable taxation to existing property owners for the urban services and facilities that non-city residents in proposed annexation areas use on a regular basis such as parks, streets, public infrastructure, emergency services, retail businesses and associated support. 5. Ensure ability to impose and consistently enforce planning processes and policies. 6. Address housing standards and code compliance to positively impact quality of life for residents. 7. Enable residents of urban areas adjacent to city to participate in municipal issues, including elections that either do or will have an impact on their properties. 8. Anticipate and allocate resources for infrastructure improvements. Specifically, changes in October, 1999 to Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality Regulation Title 124 concerning on site waste water treatment systems impacts new and replacement private septic systems. 9. Assist in population growth to enable community to reach Community Development Block Grant entitlement status – 50,000. Entitlement communities automatically receive Community Development block grant dollars; no competitive process required. 10. Increase number of street or lane miles while increasing gas tax dollars received from the Nebraska Department of Roads. 11. Provide long term visioning abilities as it relates to growth and provision of services. Other Factors Annexation of adjacent properties can also be considered upon the request of the owner(s) of the property. Glenwood Hargens has requested that the City annex his property in the NW ¼ of 23-11-10. It is anticipated that this property will develop for residential purposes in the near future. The proposed developer, Copper Creek Estates LLC, has also submitted a request for annexation of this property. A comprehensive inventory of services and facilities, relative to the types and level of services currently being provided as well as the types of level of services anticipated as a result of annexation, has been developed. The inventory includes general information concerning: · Existing infrastructure in affected area(s) · Summary of expenditures to extend existing infrastructure · Summary of operating expenditures associated with increased services · Emergency services The service plan incorporates detailed elements of the inventory. The inventory and resulting service plan should be the basis for discussions concerning each specific area identified for potential annexation. It should be noted that the capital improvements to existing infrastructure and extending services will take place over a period of time in order to ensure adequate time for planning, designing, funding and constructing such a sizable number of projects while protecting the financial integrity of the City’s enterprise funds. The service plan provides for extending the trunk water and sanitary sewer lines to the annexed area. Individual property owners will be responsible for the cost of extending services through neighborhoods and for connecting their properties to the public systems.
