Council approves annexation ordinance to add small parcel to Ritter property
Summary
Council approved an ordinance to annex an additional small parcel for the Ritter property after the petitioner’s engineer submitted an incomplete legal description; council action passed 5-0.
City staff told council that an earlier annexation for the Ritter property omitted a small square parcel because the petitioner's engineer provided an incomplete legal description; the petitioner later supplied a corrected legal description and staff drafted an ordinance to annex the additional parcel.
Council unanimously approved the ordinance on the consent agenda. Staff said the annexed parcel will be verified in the register of deeds to ensure no conflicting ownership and that costs and procedures will follow standard practice.
Why it matters: Annexation adjusts city boundaries and ensures property is governed by city zoning and services.
Quote: "Part of that process is the petitioner's engineer provides us with a legal description of the property. It was found that they did not provide us with the complete legal description," staff said.
