Staff Response to Public Comment  
7.5.701 ANNEXATION OF LAND  
Tamara Baxter, Planning Supervisor, gave a presentation for the application.  
The property will be built as a single-family residence. The 1.01 acres area  
includes a right-of-way of Date Street and Lotus Street the zone change is for  
0.23 acres. This is in the Park Vista enclave. The R-5 zoning is consistent with  
the surrounding area.  
Standard notifications were completed. There were some public comments in  
opposition related to flooding, traffic and safety, and obstruction of views. The  
applicant provided responses to these comments. The applicant will be  
required to submit a final drainage report and pay park and school fees at the  
time of building permit.  
After evaluation of the request to waive the requirements of the Land Use Plan  
and the request for a zoning map amendment, it was determined that the  
request meets the review criteria.  
Commissioner Briggs asked staff, in the future, if this applicant chooses to no  
longer live in the single family residence, can they replace it with multi-family  
housing and would it come before this body. Ms. Baxter said the property  
owner would have to comply with those requirements, but 0.23 acres is a very  
small space. A new development plan would be reviewed administratively and  
not come before Planning Commission.  
Commissioner Hensler said she is encouraged to see another one of these  
enclave properties being brought in on annexation and she is firmly in support of  
the project.  
Motion by Commissioner Hensler, seconded by Commissioner Casey, to  
recommend approval to City Council the annexation of 1.01 acres as the  
Neagle-Dutcher Family Addition Annexation based upon the findings that the  
annexation complies with the Conditions for Annexation, as set forth in City  
Code Section 7.5.701. The motion passed by a vote of 7-0.
