Staff recommends the City Council approve this ordinance on second reading, adding recently annexed property to Ward V.

Dorn Property and Homes, LLC and Dorn/Lowe, LLC have petitioned for annexation using the provisions of Section 7-2-4600, MCA. The property is located south of Central Avenue and West of Shiloh Road. The property is described as Parcel 1 and 2 of Certificate of Survey 2828. The land is legally described as Tracts of Land situated in the NE 1/4 of Section 10, T.1S., R.25E, P.M.M., Yellowstone County, Montana, more particularly described as follows: Tracts 1 and 2 of Certificate of Survey No. 2828, recorded December 20th, 1994, under Document No. 1767966. Including the Drain Ditch Right-Of-Way being 55 feet in width and lying adjacent and between the south line of said Tracts 1 and 2 and the east-west mid-section line of said Section 10. Said annexation containing 27.810 gross and net 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 was February 13. 

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 the ward 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.
