HomeMy WebLinkAboutCommission Approval of the 8th Elementary School Annexation Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Doug Riley, Associate Planner Tim McHarg, Planning Director SUBJECT: Commission Approval of the 8th Elementary School Annexation Agreement MEETING DATE: July 23, 2012 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action (Legislative Item) RECOMMENDATION: Review the draft final annexation agreement, consider public comment and the information presented, and approve the 8th Elementary School Annexation Agreement and authorize City Staff and the School District to prepare the final annexation documents and for the parties to execute the documents. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Having reviewed the Draft Final Annexation Agreement, considered public comment, and considered all of the information presented, I hereby move to approve the 8th ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ANNEXATION AGREEMENT and authorize City Staff and the School District to prepare the final annexation documents and for the parties to execute the documents. BACKGROUND: On June 4, 2012, the City Commission approved the 8th Elementary School School Annexation. Term #6 of that annexation approval stated: “These recommended terms of annexation shall be presented to the City Commission who will review and potentially amend or add to said terms. If authorized by the City Commission, City Staff and the School District will negotiate the final Annexation Agreement to be presented for consideration at a City Commission meeting. The final Annexation Agreement, as approved by the City Commission, shall be executed and returned to the City within 60 days of distribution to the applicant, unless another time period is specifically identified by the City Commission, or annexation approval shall be null and void.” The School District and City Staff from the Legal, Public Services/Engineering and Planning Departments have worked out the language of the annexation agreement per all of the terms of annexation included in the preliminary approval granted by the City Commission on June 4, 2012. Therefore, the Annexation Agreement is now back before the City Commission for final approval per term of annexation #6 as required above. As presented and evaluated at the June 4 Commission meeting, the “Improvements Phasing Plan” is the key element within the agreement in regards to the construction of needed infrastructure to serve the school property as it develops and this plan is attached and referenced within the agreement. 58 One of the key points of discussion by the City Commission at the June 4, 2012 meeting was the City’s future review of a Middle School on the subject property (i.e. identified as Phase 2 development). This issue is addressed under Section 8 “Future Development Limitations/Consultation” on page 7 of the agreement. Specifically, the language states that “The Landowner agrees that as part of future design and/or deliberations regarding development of Phase 2, including the construction of a Middle School, the Landowner shall consult with the City early in the planning stages and shall complete an informal review process including City Commission review. The purpose of the informal review process is to ascertain the City’s input on service or design issues related to any development of Phase 2. Following this informal review process, a Preliminary Site Plan application shall be submitted and be the subject of a public hearing at a City Commission meeting in which any exemptions being requested can be noticed as required by State Statute and the Bozeman Municipal Code.” Essentially, this term of annexation will require that an early consultation/review process with the City is conducted and a formal site plan is submitted and public hearing process for any future exemptions are conducted (essentially, the same as has been conducted as part of the Site Plan for the elementary school exemptions). City Staff and the School District have also been in discussions regarding formalizing a memorandum of understanding or interlocal agreement between the parties to spell out how future reviews and consultation on all school construction issues will be handled in the future. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: As identified by the City Commission. ALTERNATIVES: 1) The City Commission can decide to modify or add to the Annexation Agreement. 2) The City Commission could decide to not annex the property. FISCAL EFFECTS: Annexing the property will enable future development with connection to City sewer and water services and service by the public services (police, fire, streets, etc.) of the City. Impact fees, water rights and other related fees as indentified in the terms of annexation will have to be paid as part of development of the property. The City will accrue additional costs to service the property with municipal services.
