Planning commission recommends Annexation 72 (10 Sullivan Road) to mayor and common council
Loading...
Summary
After a staff presentation and comments from the applicant’s representative, the commission voted to forward Resolution 26-03 (Annexation 72) recommending that the mayor and common council approve annexation of the property at 10 Sullivan Road; staff noted compliance with setback, landscape standards and water/sewer service requirements.
The Westminster Planning & Zoning Commission opened a publicly noticed hearing on Annexation 72 (Resolution 26-03), a proposed annexation that would bring the property at 10 Sullivan Road into the city and place it in a business zone with water and sewer service.
Planning staff presented the annexation area and said the annexation agreement previously approved by the county addressed water service; staff recorded that 1,335 gallons of water were identified in earlier county approvals as needed. “You have the packet right in front of you … this is the outline of the annexation area,” the planner said, summarizing prior county review and the timeline for review by Carroll County and Marion County bodies. The planner recommended forwarding a favorable recommendation to the mayor and common council.
John McGuire, who identified himself as a representative of Sheets and gave an address in Westminster, spoke for the applicant. “What's being proposed is consistent with the annexation agreement that's been out there for years now,” he said, and described the annexation as largely a formality now that construction is complete.
Commissioners confirmed that the applicant met city setback and landscape requirements, and that the city had reviewed architectural and site plans during the county review. After discussion, a commissioner moved and a second was recorded to forward Resolution 26-03 and Annexation 72 to the mayor and common council with a favorable recommendation; the motion passed by voice vote.
Next steps: the item will be forwarded to the mayor and common council for final action on the ordinance and exhibits; staff noted that the council hearing is scheduled for April 20.
