The property is generally located south of Westown Parkway and west of SE L.A. Grant Parkway. The total acreage of consenting property is 100.43-acres of consenting property. The current uses of the properties are for agricultural purposes and for a private shooting range. The City initially included the annexation of non-consenting property, a 0.75- acre parcel that adjoins the consenting properties, owned by Jerome A. Aldrich as part of the annexation request as allowed by Iowa Code Chapter 368. After discussions with the City Development Board regarding concerns that the City Development Board raised regarding the annexation of the non- consenting property, staff believe it is in the best interest of the city to remove the non-consenting property from the annexation and proceed forward with annexation of the consenting property owners. Staff is recommending proceeding forward with the annexation of the consenting properties which includes a total of approximately 100.43-acres. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend approval of the resolution. ATTACHMENTS: I.
