Bill No. 04-128 - A Resolution to Adopt a Fiscal Plan for an Annexation Area in German Township The first matter on the Committee's agenda concerned a Resolution to adopt a written fiscal plan and establish a policy for services to be provided in a German Township annexation area, namely the Gregory A. Kizer annexation area. Community Development Planner George Adler made the presentation. He stated that this was a voluntary annexation of about 23 wooded acres south of Brick Road. The ultimate plan is to divide the property into 46 single-family lots which will be in the first councilmanic district. Sewer service is available at Cross Creek and existing police and firefighters can serve the area. Committee members had no questions for Mr. Adler and no persons spoke in favor or against this Bill. Committee Member Coleman made a motion, seconded by Member Kelly that Bill No. 04-128 be sent to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. The motion passed unanimously. B. Bill No. 51-04 - Ordinance to Annex Twenty Plus Vacant Acres in German Township (Gregory Kizer Annexation Area) Mr. Bernard Feeney, Registered Land Surveyor, made the presentation. He provided Committee Members with a copy of the layout plan for a 46 lot subdivision. This subdivision will connect to the Cross Creek sewer and water; a north-south road will be built within the area to connect to Brick Road. A storm water system has been provided and will adequately serve the area. Committee Member Dieter asked for the approximate cost of the lots. Mr. Feeney replied that although Gregory Kizer is the owner,the subdivision will probably be developed by Garden Homes with an estimated price range of$120,000.00 per home. A discussion then ensued as to the distance between the proposed subdivision and an existing subdivision which was estimated to be about 40 acres.
