Pre-Annexation Plan - Bindert Addition by Sam Trebilcock, Senior Planner Presentation: Approximately 10 minutes followed by discussion Sam Trebilcock, Senior Planner, spoke about a Pre-Annexation Plan, which he described as a different way of transitioning landowners from outside to inside the city limits. The presentation focused on one property in the Bindert Subdivision. Trebilcock explained the the purpose of the plan was to: inform citizens within the City's growth area of future annexation considerations; to have citizens provide input on future annexation considerations; to allow the City to gain better understanding of future utility and land use needs within future growth areas; to develop a plan for eventual annexation; and to allow citizens to transition City utilities.  Trebilcock explained the difference between a Pre-Annexation Plan and a Pre- Annexation Agreement. The differences are: the plan is non-binding; a plan is informational and only references existing ordinances and policies; an agreement will provide definite timeframes or triggers for future annexation; an agreement will provide the citizen(s) with specific assurances of city performance or non- performance; and preannexation plan is more realistic for most situations. The area of focus for the pre-annexation plan was Tract 4A of Bindert Subdivision. The landowner wants to connect to the City sewer. Trebilcock explained the rest of the plan details, which included requirements focusing on water service, sewer service, zoning, annual fees, streets, storm water retention, sidewalk, and platting fees. Discussion followed regarding: boundaries of the subdivsion; sewer service to the area; plan vs. agreement; paying for services; cost recovery; annexed area; water source and service; sidewalks; ADA compliance; ensuring things are explained that this is a plan; and unpaved roads in the City. 4.
