Item No. 18 TO: City Council John Godwin, City Manager 1 -,'ROM: Stephanie I-1. Harris, City Attorney SUBJECT: Disannexation Request DATE: November 6, 2017 BACKGROUND: The City has received an application from Casey Johnson and Ashley Johnson requesting that the City Council consider disannexing their property located at 2355 Wildwood Lane for -lack of City services." This is an application by the owners of a single parcel, and no other property owners in the area have applied for disannexation. STATUS OF ISSUE: City staff has received an application for disannexation from the owners of a single property located at 2355 Wildwood Lane for the stated reason that the City has not provided City services to the property. In fact, the property receives all City services save sewer. The application and a map showing the location of` the parcel owned by the person requesting disannexation in relation to adjoining properties and the city boundary limit lines are attached hereto. Because this application is from the owners of single parcel, the application does not appear to meet the City's criteria 1or considering disannexation (see Policies and Procedures attached hereto at page 16,). Moreover. disannexation of this property would force the annexed property to the east Outside the revised city limit boundary line, e.g., it would create an island of the property to the cast. The process for disannexing properties from the City of Paris requires two public hearings over a 40 -day period preceded by a 30 -day written notice to all property owners being disannexed and notice to Larnar County, School Districts and Railroad Companies. If the City Council directs staff to disannex the parcel, it will take approximately 90 days to completion. BUDGET: The requested disannexation would deprive the City of the property tax revenue for that single property. RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction to staff.
