Kuna planning commission recommends deannexation of 6820 S. 10 Mile Road
Summary
The Kuna City Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a request to deannex a 1.1-acre parcel at 6820 South 10 Mile Road, which was originally part of a 10-acre annexation in 2006; staff said the parcel is not connected to city water or sewer and the deannexation should not create service or enclave problems.
The Kuna City Planning and Zoning Commission on May 13 recommended approval of a request to deannex a 1.1-acre parcel at 6820 South 10 Mile Road.
Planning and zoning director Doug Hansen told commissioners the property was originally annexed on May 2, 2006, as part of an approximately 10-acre annexation and is not served by city water or wastewater utilities. “The applicant request de annexation from Kuna city limits. The site is located at 6820 South 10 Mile Road,” Hansen said.
Commissioners discussed whether deannexing the 1.1-acre piece would create any infrastructure or service issues for the city. Adam Wenger, public works for the City of Kuna, said the original annexation was driven by the city’s need to acquire land for its wastewater treatment plant and that the property owner now considers the cost-benefit of remaining inside city limits to favor deannexation. “The original annexation was a means to an end to get the property for the city to build the wastewater treatment plant,” Wenger said.
Hansen said Kuna city limits are adjacent to the east, south and west of the subject site and staff does not anticipate the deannexation will create an enclave or prohibit surrounding property owners from seeking annexation in the future. He also noted a record of survey split the original parcel in July 2008.
There was no public testimony. A commissioner moved to recommend approval of case number 25-01-DAN “with conditions as outlined in the staff report.” A second was recorded and, after a voice vote with ayes and no recorded opposition, the commission chair announced the motion carried.
The commission’s recommendation forwards the matter for whatever subsequent city approvals are required under Kuna procedures; the commission made no changes to the staff-recommended conditions during the meeting.
Notes from the record: the remainder of the original annexed property contains the city’s North Waste Water Treatment Plant; the applicant was not present at the hearing and Ada County comments were cited in staff materials but staff said those comments contained an incorrect assumption that the parcel was connected to city infrastructure.
