203 <br /> <br />the City would not formalize the annexation or annex the property <br />but leave it the way it is. He explained that the Council is not <br />obligated to adopt any options. <br /> <br /> Mr. Sandy Rotunda, 670 Sycamore, reiterated the water and <br />septic tank problems and expressed support for annexation and <br />Option 2. <br /> <br /> Mr. Dunkley stated that the School District was determined to <br />work with the neighboring property owners to come up with the best <br />solution to annexation. He also thanked the Alisal Improvement <br />Club for their input into the Specific Plan. <br /> <br /> There being no further testimony, Mr. Mercer declared the <br />public hearing closed. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer summarized the School District's role in the <br />application for annexation. He added that there ought to be more <br />direct involvement from the City Council, the staff and the <br />citizens from the neighboring area in the development of the <br />Specific Plan. He proposed the initiation of the annexation <br />process, and if it were to get back for ratification before the <br />Specific Plan were finalized, the annexation could be formalized <br />while waiting for the Plan to be approved by the citizens group. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brandes concurred. He indicated that he would like to <br />proceed with annexation because if this became a contested <br />annexation and an election became necessary, a great amount of <br />time and resources would have been wasted on the Specific Plan. <br />He proposed the initiation of the annexation procedure working <br />alongside a Specific Plan Committee with representatives from <br />different areas. <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler agreed and added that Option 2 best spelled out <br />the proposition presented: begin the process of annexation and <br />develop a Specific Plan. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver stated that since the citizens seem to be saying <br />that they want a Specific Plan, he preferred that everyone <br />interested be in some committee that would work with the staff on <br />this plan. That way they would stop worrying about what would <br />happen to the area, as they would know what the plan would be. <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler concurred. <br /> <br /> -12- <br /> 8-1-89 <br /> <br /> <br />
