UA19-16 |
Matt Rasmussen stated this was a 100% voluntary annexation proposed for Cedar Rapids. The proposed annexation area is developed with a single family home. There is no proposed change to the land use as a single family dwelling. The only proposed change is the addition of an accessory structure. The owner wishes to annex at this time to allow for the construction of an accessory structure that can’t be built in the county due to the size of the lot. There is a sanitary sewer within 250 feet of the property, but the property owner intends on continuing to use the existing septic system for the property. A City water main is located on the north side of Beverly Road and there is also a fire hydrant near the southwest corner of the subject property. Fire and emergency response is available within 2.5 miles. Garbage pickup will be available after one-year, upon notice to private haulers as specified by State Code. Cedar Rapids does not have an annexation agreement with the City of Fairfax for this general area, the only city within two miles of the annexation area. Mr. Rasmussen stated the packet does appear to be complete and properly filed. Vernon Zakostelecky, Development Services Department for the City of Cedar Rapids, was present via teleconference to explain further and answer questions of Board. No questions were asked. |
