May 7th, 1963.
Members present were Anderson, Driscoll, Hankins, MCGee, Reiners and
strange. Also present was City Engineer John Warder.
Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
Under unfinished business, Commission took up the matter of a petition
for annexation to the City in the Mount An~eles Road area. The petition
had been refered to the Commission by the City Council for study and
report. Interested people at the meeting were Mr & Mrs Sawby, Mr & Mrs
Hanify and Mr. Melvin Ferguson. Inasmuch as the area covered by the
petition included a lot of unoccupied acreage and also a long narrow strip
of land along the Mount Angeles Road south to the Scribner Road, both
objectionable features, the Commission, after a thorough discussion with
those present, suggested a new petition be drawn covering an area which
does not extend so far south and also a southern boundry line which would
more or lass straighten the City limit lines in the area. The area to be
covered by the new suggested petition would include the major portion of
homes in that section. With the above in mind, the Planning Commission
unanimously recommends to the City Council that the attached petition
as drawn be denied.
