Annexation of 17.1 Acres East of F.M. 2514: City Manager advised Council that Planning & Zoning Commission had not made a formal recommendation to City Council regarding the annexation of this property. It was recommended that a policy be established by the City Council whether or not they wanted an official recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission on proposed annexations prior to holding the first public hearing. Mr. Fulgham, Chairman of the Commission, indicated there had been no opposition to the proposed annexation from the members of the Planning & Zoning Commission, and, as the majority of the members were present, they could so indicate. Following a discussion regarding proper procedures, Councilman Simmons made a motion to allow the public hearing on this annexation but from now on proposed annexations must be placed on Planning & Zoning Commission agenda for planning purposes. Motion was seconded by Councilwoman Dodd, all in favor. A question was raised regarding the possibility that this proposed annexa- tion might be considered "strip annexation" . The City Attorney was requested to check the legality of the annexation of this property. 7 Mr. Kreymer indicated that if the property were annexed he would request rezoning to SF-2. There being no opposition to the annexation, Councilman Simmons moved to schedule the second hearing for 5:30 p.m. on December 14. Motion seconded by Councilwoman Allen, all in favor. Paving Memorial and Mardi Gras. In response to citizen request, Mr. Cowan had cost estimates available to residents on Memorial and Mardi Gras for paving work to be done by contractors. He estimated that in order for outside contractors to do the paving work it would cost $7.85 per linear foot for 12" asphalt. The estimate for City forces to do the work was $2.89 per linear foot. The cost estimate for concrete streets to be done by outside contractors was $19.94 per linear foot. Only four residents from that area were present. Therefore, they requested that the City staff prepare another letter to the residents with these costs estimates in order to try to obtain 75% response. Mr. LeCocq advised that two individuals were going door-to-door on Mardi Gras and Memorial in an effort to obtain the necessary signatures. City Manager explained that if the homeowners did not voluntarily cooper- ate with the paving project and did not sign liens for the collection ,,, of their pro rata share, the City would could not collect the funds. Councilman Simmons made a motion to prepare letters to the residents on Memorial and Mardi Gras with estimates for the paving work to be done by City crews and by outside contractors. The letters would be given to Bill James or he would be made aware that they were ready for distribution. Motion was seconded by Councilwoman Dodd, all in favor.
