Mayor Weatherill introduced the Notice of Intent to Petition for Annexation an area west of the
current city limits including areas known as Old Clifton Road, Berry Lake, McCormick Woods,
McCormick Land Co properties, Anderson Hill Road, and properties adjacent to the west side of
Sidney Road south to Glenwood to include Sidney Glen Elementary School. The annexation
proposal will be commonly referred to as the Western Annexation.
City Clerk Parks gave staff report stating the Notice of Intent to Petition for Annexation into the
City was received from property owners on January 23, 1998. Mrs. Parks reviewed the
proposed annexation boundaries and identified additional parcels, which other property owners
have requested to be included in the annexation proposal. Staff report included
recommendation to geographically modify the proposed boundaries to include the properties
east of Sidney Road, west of SR16 and north of the current city limits (Church of the Nazarene
property, 4647 Sidney Road SW).
Mayor Weatherill stated this is not a Public Hearing, however the city will provide an opportunity
for input from the audience on this Notice of Intent.
Elaine Manheimer, 1120 Spokane Street, spoke in opposition to the proposed Western
Annexation, expressing a concern with the city expanding their boundaries prior to the County
establishing Urban Growth Boundaries, questioning the legality of the proposed annexation.
Ms. Manheimer also questioned what the benefit would be to current city residents.
Linda Neibanck, 4978 SE Lake Flora Road, representing McCormick Land Company, spoke in
favor of the annexation acknowledging the fact that sewer service is currently being provided
and billed by the city and in the near future water will also be provided and billed by the city,
which makes for a logical annexation. Ms. Neibanck also thanked the city for placing this Notice
of Intent on the council agenda in a very expedient manner.
Helen Haven -Saunders, 3353 Anderson Hill Road, speaking on behalf of the Association to
Protect Anderson Creek, spoke in strong opposition to the proposed Western Annexation, also
reiterated the same concerns with the city expanding boundaries.
Leslie Bannigan, 901 So. Harper Road, speaking on behalf of Kitsap Citizens of Rural
Preservation, voiced opposition to the proposed Western Annexation. Ms. Bannigan requested
the city put a hold on the proposed annexation until a valid County Comprehensive Plan is
adopted.
At this time, Mayor Weatherill asked if the city will accept, reject or geographically modify the
proposed annexation.
On motion by Councilwoman Powers, seconded by Councilman Van Zee, Council moved to
geographically modify the proposed Western Annexation boundaries to include the area east of
Sidney Road, north of the Church of the Nazarene property (4647 Sidney Road SW).
Mayor Weatherill asked if the city will require the simultaneous adoption of a comprehensive
plan?

Mayor Weatherill asked if the City will require the assumption of all or any portion of existing city
indebtedness by the area to be annexed.
