To: Paris City Council From: Donald, Michael, Randall, and Derek Lewis Date: 1.24.06 Re: Application for Disannexation To the Council: Prior to the City's annexation of properties in the ETJ, we were approached by a developer v/anting to purchase some of our property to extend development of Pine Valley. One of the conditions of the sale was the property must be in Reno for water and sewage services. We petitioned the City of Paris to allow us to annex a portion of our property to Reno to accommodate this offer. We were told this would be no problem if we could provide the City with a deed and a development plan. We complied with the request. At this time, the City informed us of anticipated disputes over land they were in the process of annexing from the ETJ. We were asked to put our annexation request on hold until all litigation was final at which time our request would be granted. We agreed in good faith to cooperate with the City on this matter. After all litigation was settled, we petitioned Reno for annexation which was granted; however, the City Manager and City Attorney of that time blocked the release of our land to Reno reneging on the City's agreement with us. Since the City has no plan to provide the necessary water and sewage services to this property, we respectfully request that you honor the original cO~1J1itment to us by releasing the annexation of this property. We thank you for your service to this community and for your consideration.
