Transportation: Expansions of off-street parking facilities, airport facilities and the scheduling transit system to serve Area I residents are not planned. Area residents can continue to use existing facilities. Scheduled transit service will not be extended into the area until there is a ridership demand that equals the demand which currently exists on present transit routes. 2. There are no public streets in Area I that are maintained by Cole County. Missouri Route 179 is maintained by the Missouri Highway and Transportation Department . The City of Jefferson will not maintain nor otherwise be responsible for public streets in Area I until such time as new streets may be installed in the accordance with current city policies and standards. When the City accepts a street as a public street, the City will be responsible for general maintenance, sweeping, signing and marking, traffic control, and snow removal. 3. Street lights in Jefferson City are installed on a petition basis. Property owners do not participate in the cost of the lights. Area I property owners may submit petitions for street lights to the Mayor and City Council as soon as the area is annexed. The Department of Public Works, working in conjunction with Missouri Power and Fight, make recommendations to the Council on the petitions. The final decision on whether to install a specific light is made by the City Council. Petitions are acted upon in -the chronological order in which they are submitted. This procedure, which is currently being used in the City, would apply to property owners in Area I after it is annexed. Consideration given to Area I petitioners would be equal in all respects to the consideration given to petitioners who currently reside within the corporate limits. 4. Jefferson City does not, within the present corporate limits, share in the cost of constructing completely new, local streets. In the City the Department of Public Works reviews street improvement plans submitted by the owner or developer and inspects the streets as they are being constructed. After the streets are constructed the City accepts the streets for maintenance provided they are constructed in accordance with City standards. This same procedure will be followed with respect to completely new, local streets in Area I , after the effective date of annexation. -8- The City does not participate in the construction of local storm drainage structures in new subdivisions. The City has not constructed any major storm drainage facilities in Jefferson City in recent years and does not propose to construct any such facilities in Area I. 5. Jefferson City is completing the design phase for certain sewerage improvements which are to be made in the northern part of the present City. These planned improvements include a lift station which will be located upstream from where Route 179 crosses Grays Creek. Construction bids for this lift station will be taken in the calendar year 1982. The City has also completed the design of a sanitary interceptor sewer line which extends from the proposed lift station thru Area I. The City will be in a position to review requests for sewer service extensions as soon as the new lift station is installed. This lift station is scheduled to be operational by July 1984. Sewer service could be extended into Area I within one year after the City Council determines that the request for service meets all City sewer extension policies and standards. In Jefferson City trunk sewer mains are not extended to vacant lands until they exhibit potentials for urban development. An area is not considered ready for development until the owner and/or developer has, at a minimum, invested sufficient resources to develop a sketch or preliminary plat and has discussed the proposed development with the Departments of Public Works and Planning and Code Enforcement. The owner or developer must also show that other essential utilities and public street areas are, or will be available. The City does not participate in the cost of constructing lateral . collection system lines in new subdivisions. In Jefferson City the Department of Public Works reviews sewer construction plans submitted by the developer, inspects the construction work as it progresses, and accepts the lines for maintenance when all city standards have been met. At the upper ends of watersheds the City extends trunk mains up to the last ownership boundary or to the last 40 acres in cases where more than 40 acres is held in single ownership. The owner is responsible for extending the system past this point. The payment of a lateral connection fee is also involved. In extending major mains to developed areas and/or to areas which are ready for development it is frequently necessary for the City to construct mains through areas which are not ready for development. The owners of this vacant land do not participate ® in the cost of the major main when it is installed. In the future, when this land is ready for development, the owner is required to pay a fee (currently $1, 300; will be adjusted annually) for each lateral connection. -9- The above described sewer extension procedures are currently being used in Jefferson City. These same procedures would apply to proposed annexation Area I after the effective date of annexation. 6. Other comments on services to be provided: a. Housing and Community Development. Generally the citizens of Area I will be eligible for consideration for programs offered by the Jefferson City Housing Authority. It must be remembered, however, that (1) individuals, families, and areas must meet federally established income and other participation criteria, (2) certain services, such as access to Public Housing, are operated on a "first come-first served" basis and, (3) many of the Housing Authority services are dependent on federal funding. Any reductions in available federal funds would cause a corresponding reduction in services offered. b. Parks and Recreation. No new city parks are planned for Proposed Annexation Area I. It is proposed that the land be used for industrial development. There is no real need for parks in industrial areas. The City' s Compre- hensive Plan shows no recommended city park in Area I. Existing city parks and recreational programs will be available for use by Area I residents on the effective date of annexation without the payment of the participation charge. Individuals currently not residing within the City must now pay a $5. 00 fee if they wish to participate in the City recreational programs. • -10- Section 3 The Level at Which the City Assesses Property and The Rate at Which It Taxes That Property Property within the City of Jefferson is assessed by either the Cole County Assessor or the Callaway County Assessor. That part of the City situated north of the Missouri River is assessed by Callaway County; that part lying south of the River is assessed by the Cole County Assessor. Property within the City is assessed in the same manner as is property located out- side of the City. The level of assessment on new construction is thirty-three and a third of the property's market value. The rate at which Jefferson City currently taxes property is $1.20 per one hundred dollars valuation. Section 4 How the City Proposes to Zone The Area to be Annexed Proposed Annexation Area I will. be zoned in accordance with the Proposed Zoning Plan for Area I which is included as a map in this Plan of Intent and the provisions of the Jefferson City Zoning Ordinance. The approximate size of the various zoning districts planned for Proposed Annexation Area I is as follows: Proposed Zoning District Acres (+) Industrial M-2 General Industrial 38. 9 M-3 Planned Industrial 14. 5 Total; (all Industrial) 53.4 This Proposed Zoning Plan has been reviewed by the Jefferson City Planning and Zoning Commission and the Mayor' s Committee on Annexation. The Plan, as proposed, is acceptable to both the Commission and the Annexation Committee. -11- Section 5 Effective Date of the Proposed Annexation The effective date of the annexation of Proposed Annexation ® Area I shall be December 31, 1982, or in the event all statutory requirements are not met by December 31, 1982, then the effective date shall be within 60 days after all statutory requirements are met. -12- LEGEND PROPOSED ANNEXATION LIMITS EXISTING CITY LIMITS CCMMRCIAL BUILDING [] N fkSII.NTIAL BUILDING 0 CREEK -. . .....,_..
