Six property owners residing on Willowlake Court in Meadows by the Club Subdivision have applied for voluntary annexation. The properties are developed with "attached" single family townhomes. Background Information. Because voluntary annexation of just the six townhomes on Willowlake Court would have added to an already irregular City boundary in this area, staff corresponded with the other property owners in the immediate vicinity (five on Turnberry Drive and three on Willowlake Court) to inquire about their participation. The response was mixed. Because the response was mixed, the issue of whether to annex the six Willowlake townhome properties by voluntary petition is worthy of discussion by the Committee. Copies of correspondence sent to the Willowlake Court townhome residents as well as the letter sent to the other property owners in the vicinity, are attached. Since questions are often asked by potential residents about the costs and benefits of annexation, the correspondence included the attached "Annual Financial Comparison." For an annexation by petition (voluntary annexation) the following steps will occur: • Petition(s) will be prepared for signature by each property owner; • Upon receipt of petitions, a Council Bill will be drafted and Public Hearing scheduled. • The zoning of RD, Two Family Residential, was previously recommended. • Public hearing be held within 14-60 days of receiving the petition (RSMO Sec 71.012). • Upon annexation, City services/benefits will be extended, and the area added to Ward 4 for Council representation. Regarding future annexation discussions, the Annexation Committee may wish to provide guidance in charting the City's future course. The City has conducted extensive annexation planning studies, some of which were "adopted" as official plans. The Committee may wish to review those prior plans and studies. Planning for a voter-approved ballot issue should begin at least 12 - 24 months in advance of the anticipated referendum date. ``ti II I !l S. ire a tea City of :11� Jefferson Amo` frq➢n]il�tt16 ! = Eric J.

From a service-delivery perspective, it makes sense that all 14 properties in this area be similarly situated, so I wanted to let you know that I am following up on the remaining eight properties that did not complete an application to determine their level of interest in annexing. The attached map depicts the 14 properties that lie within the pocket of unincorporated area that includes your property. People are often interested in the cost differential of owning property within the City versus unincorporated areas. You may be interested to note that homes that lie outside the City's corporate boundary pay a higher base rate of $19.18 per month for sanitary sewer services. Over the course of a year the higher wastewater fees equate to about $230. In addition, properties in your area that are outside the City pay about $80 more per year for trash services. Inside the City, the cost for solid waste services for one- and two-family dwellings is $18.18 per month, and includes curbside recycling! I have enclosed an Annual Financial Comparison analysis of taxes and fees collected that I am providing to everyone, so that you all have the same information. As for the remaining process, we should be able to start the final process of signing the actual petitions for voluntary annexation in January, then proceeding to the City Council for public hearing in February. If you have questions or wish to discuss this further, please don't hesitate to contact me by phone, at 573-634-6424, or email me at jmcmillan o(�ieffcitymo.orq. Thanks for your patience!

From a service-delivery perspective, it makes sense that all properties in the area be similarly situated. The attached map depicts the 14 properties that lie within a pocket of unincorporated area that includes your property. Residential lots adjoining the highlighted area are already within the City's boundaries. The purpose of my letter is to make you aware of the request filed by six (6) of your neighbors, and inquire about your interest in joining your neighbors' petition to annex your property into the City. People are often interested in the cost differential of owning property within the City versus unincorporated areas. You may be interested to note that homes that lie outside the City's corporate boundary pay a higher base rate of $19.18 per month for sanitary sewer services. Over the course of a year the higher wastewater fees equate to about $230. In addition, properties in your area pay about $80 more per year for trash services. Inside the City, the cost for solid waste services for one- and two-family dwellings is $18.18 per month, and includes curbside recycling. I have enclosed an Annual Financial Comparison analysis of taxes and fees collected for properties inside Jefferson City versus outside. If you look at the bottom line, being located within the City's corporate boundary may have a positive financial effect. • If you are interested in pursuing annexation along with your neighbors, I would be happy to speak with you about the process.
