Mr. Jack Smith, Attorney representing Reynolds C. Johnson, stated this parcel is an ideal location for industrial development because of its location; it will be a good tax base; is under the City's Sphere Of Influence; and that annexation will allow the City to control the development. He stated that Reynolds C. Johnson is capable of substantial industrial development, and requests a favorable indication for annexation of this land to the City. Councilmember Wood reiterated his position that the City should not annex any more land until it can provide the necessary municipal services. Mayor Mercer stated this annexation is a logical extension of the City limits, is within the City's Sphere of Influence, and is an ideal location for industrial development because of its location on the outskirts of the City thus will not adversely impact traffic. Councilmember Kephart concurred. Councilmember Mohr stated she felt the City has its hands full without further industrial development, and she did not feel the City should annex this particularly large amount of land at this time.
