CITIZEN COMMENTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Dale Gardner said he was with the law firm of Perry, Anderson, Mansfield and he represented the Romney and Carson interests for annexation of property located at approximately 2982 Benchmark Drive. He said in 1992 his clients had their property engineered for a subdivision and approached the City for annexation. He said the City had asked them to wait until a traffic study was completed. He said the study was completed at the end of 1994. Mr. Gardner said his clients submitted an annexation petition which proposed a 22 lot subdivision. He said that petition was filed in 1995 and $10,000 was paid for filing fees.
He said five years later on March 3rd, his clients had received a letter from Planning Staff saying the City was ready to process the annexation petition. He said his clients came before the City Council on September 7th, 1999. He said the Council denied the motion for various reasons.
He said the City should authorize certain people to try to negotiate a pre-annexation development agreement with his clients.
