Title
SETTING OF HEARING DATE FOR POSTANNEXATION HEARING CITY OF MAIZE ORDINANCE NO. 807.
Presented by: Robert W. Parnacott, Assistant County Counselor.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve notice of hearing.
Body
K.S.A. 12-531 requires the Board to hold a hearing five years after the effective date of any annexation, prior to July 1, 2011, in which a city was required to prepare a service plan showing services to be extended to the area to be annexed. Annexations effective on and after July 1, 2011, are subject to a three year review.
Notice of the hearing, once set, will be provided to the City and to all landowners residing in the area annexed, by first class mail prepaid.
City of Maize annexed multiple tracts by Ordinance No. 807 (24 tracts) in October 2009. A prehearing questionnaire was sent to the current property owners in the annexed areas. Three of the landowners in areas annexed by Ord. No. 807 responded to the questionnaire. The responses are included as part of the agenda backup. The City has also provided a memo responding to the landowners' comments. It is attached as backup as well.
Analysis: At the hearing proposed for November 12, 2014, the Board hears evidence from the City and landowners concerning whether the services were extended as provided in the service plan. The Board then makes a finding whether the services were extended. If the Board finds the services were not extended, then the City and the landowners are notified the area may be de-annexed from the City if the services are not provided within the next 2 ½ years.
