Staff recommends the City Council hold a public hearing and approve this ordinance on first reading, adding recently annexed property to Ward V.

Craig Dalton of Performance Engineering, on behalf of Todd Brown, submitted a petition to annex land using the provisions of Section 7-2-4600, MCA. The property is located south of Central Avenue and east of South 48th Street West. The land being annexed is described as being Parcels of Land situated in the NW 1/4 of Section 10, T.1S., R.25E., Yellowstone County, Montana, more particularly described as follows: Tract 2 of Certificate of Survey No. 3844, filed July 14th, 2023, under Document No. 4051600 on file and of record in the office of the Yellowstone County Clerk and Recorder. Including all adjacent Right-Of-Way of Central Avenue. Said annexation containing 50.333 gross acres more or less.

Upon Council approval, this annexation requires a change in the boundaries of Ward V. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading and public hearing is scheduled for this meeting. Upon Approval, the second reading will occur April 8, 2024.
 

City Council may:

• Approve adding the subject property to Ward V, or;
• Disapprove adding the subject property to Ward V. Disapproval will not modify the boundary of Ward V and will create a problem where property inside the City Limits is not within a City Ward.

This application has no impact on the Planning Division Budget.
