They stated that the main reason they have applied for annexation of their property to Central Point is to obtain City water service because their well has not City of Central Point Planning Commission Meeting September 4, 1984 - 7:00 p.m. Page 2 been too dependable. They also stated that the City limits are just across the road and their land is not "country" anymore. They stated that they have some sheep and one horse on their property that they hope to be able to keep. Commissioner Ellard read the Municipal Code on the keeping of animals within the R-1 zone of the City. The Thumlers also wish to annex because Jackson County will not permit them to divide their property. They stated that they are already connected to the Bear Creek Valley Sanitary Authority sewer system. Barbara Ritter, 794 Pittview Avenue, Central Point, came forward. She stated that she also wishes to annex to obtain City water because her well is only 19 feet deep and has to be purified with chlorine, and to obtain City police ser- vice. Also, she feels that her street needs better lighting. She stated that she has geese and chickens on the property. Her mother is living in a mobile home on her property allowed by Jackson County as a hardship case. She stated that there is an open drainage ditch running through her property and it is her hope that the City will be able to alleviate this problem by improving the drainage system in the street. Don Paul explained what would be involved for each of the property owners to connect to the City water line if the annexation is approved. Jeanne Sanders, 3606 Bursell Road, Central Point, came forward. She stated that she also is applying for annexation to receive City water. No one came forward to speak against the annexation application. Chairman Frederick closed the public hearing. Commissioner Piland asked about the "island" that will be created with two properties by the annexation. It was explained that the two property owners involved, the Bryans and the Olsens, already have City water. Don Paul stated that upon reviewing the situation, it has been decided that it is not neces- sary to require them to annex at this time. Commissioner Ellard made a motion to pass a resolution of recommendation to approve the application for annexation of approximately 5.82 acres on the east side of Bursell Road and north of Pittview Avenue, Tax Assessor's Map Page 37 2W 11AC, Tax Lots 100, 200, 300, and 400, and the findings of fact as submit- ted by Donald and Orpha Thumler, Don and Barbara Ritter, and Carlos and Jeanne Sander.
