63 REGULAR MEETING MARCH 27, 1978 PETITION FOR ANNEXATION AND ANNEXATION AGREEMENT FILED Jack C. Dunfee, Attorney representing American Realty, Inc., submitted to the Board a Petition for Annexation and Annexation Agreement regarding Kensington Farms East. Mr. Dunfee noted that following a meeting with Deputy City Attorney Robert Parker, City Engineer, Patrick McMahon, David Wells and Richard Johnson, it was suggested that there should be a waiver of annexation included in the agreement. This has now been done. The agreement is patterned after the agreement between the City and Rose Development Company. The agreement covers four basic items: that the City will allow the owner to connect to existing water and sewer mains; the City will provide police and fire protection to the area as soon as access roads have been constructed and opened; if the property is not given A3 Zoning under the Code, the City will not object to a petition for disannexation; and within a period of fifteen months after development, if the area is disannexed, the-owner will provide a waiver of annexation. Mr. Dunfee said, following approval by the Board of Public Works, the agreement will be submitted to the Common Council. Mr. McMahon made a motion that the agreement be taken under advisement for review by the Legal Department, with a report to be made to the Board on April 3, 1978. Mr. Brunner seconded the motion and it carried. RECOMMENDATION TO ACCEPT BID FOR POLICE UNIFORMS The Board received a recommendation from Michael C.
