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

IMEG on behalf of Development 55, LLC submitted a petition to annex land using the provisions of Section 7-2-4600, MCA. The property is located south of Elysian Road and west of East Lane and north of Shackelford Lane. The land being annexed is described as being Tract 2A of Amended Certificate of Survey No. 3535, recorded August 31st, 2022, under Document No. 4028466; A portion of Tract 12 of Certificate of Survey No. 1391, said portion being known as Shackelford Lane adjacent to Tract 1B of said Certificate of Survey No. 1391, recorded March 13th, 1974, under Document No. 957584, said documents on file and of record in the office of the Yellowstone County Clerk and Recorder. Including adjacent Right-Of-Way of East Lane, Elysian Road and said portion of Shackelford Road. Said annexation containing 50.765 gross acres and 48.582 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 took place on April 10. Second reading will occur at this meeting.

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.
