Mountlake Terrace staff briefed the City Council on Sept. 4 that the city is continuing the procedural review for a property annexation petition for the parcel identified in hearing materials as 242422940 Eighth Avenue West. Christy Osborne, filling in for Senior Planner Sarah Pizzo, said the council had reviewed the proposal at a June 12 work session and at subsequent meetings and that city staff had corrected a prior notification error in the address before continuing the hearing.

The council opened a public hearing and received no oral or written testimony; staff reported there have been no written comments to date. After the hearing, the council voted to adopt a resolution directing staff to file a notice of intent with the Snohomish County Boundary Review Board to begin the county review process.

Council members noted the item had been seen multiple times and moved the resolution forward; the motion carried by voice vote. Staff said the filing with the Boundary Review Board is the next procedural step and the annexation proposal will return to council as the county review process advances.
