9.J. RESOLUTION REGARDING JAMES WAY ANNEXATION
Mr. Christiansen referred to the June 22, 1989 Staff Report
of Planning Director Doreen Liberto-Blanck, who recommended that
the Council adopt the resolution protesting the proposed 88-acre
annexation to the City of Arroyo Grande. The Planning Director's
report said an application for annexation to the City of 88 acres
east of James Way has been filed with the Local Agency Formation
Commission. Ms. Liberto-Blanck said the City may want to consider
a smaller annexation to include no more than two homes (the
existing home and allowance for a future house).
There were Council questions of Staff and discussion
concerning water and sewer services to the City.
JIM MCGILLIS, surveyor for San Luis Engineering, said the
owner of the property has no intention of developing the land. He
said the City should take the land into the City and thereby
control the timing and development of it. He showed where the
property is located by pointing to a map on the wall.
Mayor Millis said this resolution reaffirms the City's policy
of no major annexations, but does say that the City may accept the
five acres into the City, with no additional water services being
offered.
It was moved by Olsen/Smith (5-0-0, Olsen, Smith, Dougall,
Moots and Millis voting aye) to approve Resolution No. 2325 to the
