Add the following ltem from the Planning Commission report to the City Council 7-15-571 Affirmative Recommendation on a Proposed Annexation: Mr. Art Ellis proposes a small annexation of about 13 acres in the viclnlty of his residence at 10934 N. Blaney. He reports that he has discussed the matter fully with participating neighbor~; that he has their consent; that the area contains fewer than 11 registered voters. The annexation would be "Uninhabited". The Commission has discussed future uses and future streets with the applicant. He proposes single family dwellings on large lot~ for his Qwn property, Other. owners have indicated continuing interest in agriculture uses. The area was cut up in small plots some years ago; has no inte- grated character; shows lack of planning, Lf1ng close in and just east of Blaney, it appears to be a reasonable addition to City territory. While there may be some unsightly elements in the general neighborhood, it appears to the Commission that on balance there would be mutual benefits to the City and the owner~ and residents from such an annexation.
