Okay. It's nice to see you here, John Do any Commission members or guests today wish to have items on the consent agenda Removed and placed on the regular agenda. I'd like to ask for a motion to approve the consent agenda This chairman I'd like to make a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented Second second all in favor signify by saying aye anyone opposed Consent agenda is approved. We will now proceed with the regular agenda The regular agenda today consists of a comprehensive plan map amendment and a zoning map amendment for appending annexation this is in the garden Springs neighborhood and Andrew living good our annexation coordinator is here to Briefly introduce this particular item Good evening. Good evening. Good evening. So today This agenda item number eight. It's seeking the planning commission's recommendation to city council for the land use classification and the zoning district classification and This is a annexation request. That's a result of a petition of An area of 44 properties in the garden Springs neighborhood, which is off of Leesburg Road in southeast Columbia near I-77 there are 43 homes in the area and Staff recommends a land use classification of Urban Edge residential small lot Which is also known as uer-1 and he's owning a single-family residential Our RS 1b classification and in these classifications would align most closely with with the Character of the existing homes in the community and carry that forward when they come into the city So so again the the purpose of the agenda item is is to seek the planning commission's recommendation on land use and zoning And and the city council will will consider the The annexation and and to that effect they'll hold a public hearing on September 18th on the annexation at the same time that they hold the public hearing on the zoning in a future land use and That that meal will be held here in city council chambers So while it's city council votes on the annexation I did want to touch a little bit on what the annexation is This annexation request is different from from a lot of the annexation requests that we've seen honestly over the last 18 years Pretty much over the last 18 years every annexation request that has gone before the planning commission the city council has been what we call a hundred percent freeholder annexation and that's where the persons on the deed all sign the Anxation request and usually it's one property or just a few properties at a time However garden springs as a neighborhood the neighborhood association contacted us About a year and a half ago to inquire about annexation and the extension of sewer into their neighborhood and that neighborhood is a donut bowl that's that's Otherwise surrounded by the city But it was developed at a time Prior to the availability of sewer so Maybe there's kind of there's a sewer project that will be ongoing but but this annexation petition is what state law refers to as a 75 percent Petition Method of annexation and what it requires is 75 percent of what the state calls freeholders Owning 75 percent of the assessed value of these properties To design a petition. So I'm glad to say that right now we have 82% of the freeholders signing on the petition representing 78% of the assessed value in This collection of 44 properties and so that's why it's coming going forward Just won't let you know that this is just a little bit different than than the standard annexation request they built it for you Any questions, I'll be glad to answer them any questions from commission the people who have not signed on for this Are they against it or they just haven't signed? I've only had one gentleman tell me no and he's Well, I mean I can't really speak for him, but Fetal loss of discussion and He's actually helped me with some other people getting to them so that they can get their signature How are they being served wastewater now? There's a lot of septic systems. Yeah, and you know, unfortunately the sewer system won't be extended until the end of 2020 and you know, there are certainly some folks that have Had their sewer systems fail or septic systems fail. I'm sorry So they've some people have replaced theirs already And they'll have the option to connect or not at the time when the sewer is available questions. Are there any? Thank you. Thank you.
