RESOLUTION #22 - PUBLIC HEARING - FINDING OF FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS - MENKICK WEST ANNEXATION PETITION Hundley explained that on Monday, staff met with representatives from the Town of Superior regarding the annexation that is being proposed. The dis- cussions were very :Fruitful and it appears that there is a good possibility that an agreement could be worked out that is mutually beneficial to both parties. Hundley si~ated that today, to ensure that Superior's interests. were met, the City of Louis- ville was served with a summons for District Court Action which is the next step whenever you have two parties who are proposing to annex the same piece of property. As a result, all further proceedings are to be held in abeyance. Consequently, Hundley re- quested that Council continue the public hearing until October 6, 1987, which would enable the City to further negotiatE~ with the Town of Superior to reach a settlement ion this issue. The annexation and zoning ordinances for the 1.8 acre Menkick Parcel were pulled from the Agenda tonight as a result and will be postponed until the continuation of the public hearing on this Resolution. Mayor Fauson opened the public hearing and suggested that in light of the facts surrounding the issue, the public hearing be continued to the October 6, 1987, Council Meeting. Mohr moved that the public hearing for Resolution #22 be continued to the October 6, 1987, Citty Council Meeting. Anderson seconded. Sackett asked that ]3undley explain how the City became involved in court proceedings with the Town of Superior . Hundley explained that the right-of-way along McCaslin Boulevard is what is in question. The annexation petition from George and Kyung Menkick includes 1.8 acres of property and the right-of-way of McCaslin Blvd. Since that property fronts McCaslin, staff felt there was an interest on the part of Louisville ito insure proper access to that property, insure certain standards were met in terms of road construction and as a result felt it important to consider annexing McCaslin Blvd. Sackett stated that it is important to understand that the City already has valuable commercial land on McCaslin Blvd. a:s a result of an annexation in 1986. If the road i;sn't constructed properly, that land could be less accessible. This is not an attempt by the City of Louisville to make things difficult for the City of Superior. 6
