General Agenda: Public Hearing for Ord. NO. 274, to extend its territorial and municipal limits to annex the hereinafter described lands, etc. Second Reading: Mayor Trocaso recessed the Commission Meeting and convened the public hearing for the purposes of hearing discussion on Ordinance No. 274. Attorney Kruppenbacher read Ord. No. 274 by title only on second reading. The City Planner explained that the ordinance will annex 164 acres north and south of S.R. 419 under the ownership of seven different entities, the Leffler Co., Cottle and Peters; a portion of their property which has been transferred to Joseph Hanratty; Parker Family; Southern Bell and Madeline Luttrell and Mohican Valley (formerly Mohawk Village). All the property will be annexed at zone R-U. We have statements from all applicants who had previously requested a different zoning, that they concur with R-U at the present time and they are aware that we can proceed during the next two years to petition to the County for a change of zoning or at the end of two years may change it without any other authorization. The current ordinance represents about 70 % of the original project. There were some contingents by the County that the entire area we had intended to annex would create what they would classify as enclaves areas, totally surrounded by another jurisdiction. What was decided was to proceed with as much as could be done without any problem with the County at this time. I understand they have no objection at all to the current ordinance. We then intend to proceed further with the annexation of the approximately another 110 acres and to discuss further with the owners of the areas considered enclaves by the County to invite them to annex into the City. No one spoke for or against the ordinance. Mayor Torcaso closed the public hearing convened the Regular Meeting. City Manager Rozansky said he discussed the ordinance with the County Attorney's office and they have no problem with the ordinance. . . . .
