Mr. Mariani of the Department of Community and Economic Development made the presentation on both Bills. He noted that Resolution No. 95-65 is a Resolution which would adopt the written physical plan and establish a policy for providing services to an annexed area in German Township,more specifically the Lilac acres Fiscal Plan which he then summarized. He also reviewed Bill No. 38-95 which is a voluntary annexation for land in German Township which is approximately 10 acres. He noted that this is on the west side of Lilac Road next to Cross Creek. The land is currently vacant and proposes to have 26 residential units built on it. Council Member Coleman noted that the proposed value of the homes to be built is in the range of$85,000.00 to $130,000.00. He noted that the City's ability to annex this land into the City voluntary is because of its location to Cross Creek which has been in the City since 1977. Following discussion, Council Member Coleman made a motion, seconded by Council Member Luecke that Resolution No. 95-65 and Bill No. 38-95 be recommended favorably to Council.The motion passed. Council Member Slavinskas noted under unfinished business that it is his understanding that the legal department would be presenting an update on the adult Business situation.He noted that he had spoken earlier with the Council Attorney and has requested that an amendment be prepared in the zoning area to change the restriction of Adult Businesses from 500 feet of a Residential Zoned District to include "and/or any residential use". He stated that this would begin the process for continues discussion on this topic. Council Member Coleman noted that Ann Puzzello is currently working on a similar concept. Council Member Washington stated that he has met with Ann and With Mr. Sergeo and that they are working with Mr. Broden of the Legal Department. He stated that all efforts should be worked in tandem.
