The following is a summary of the present status of the proposed annexation of Emerald Lake area as requested by the City Council: The following is a summary of the present status of the proposed annexation of the Emerald Lake area as requested by the City Council. On March 120 1956, the Council received a Petition for Consent to the Commencement of of Annexation Proceedings signed by 91 residents of the Emerald Lake area, which was referred to the Planning Commission. On April 30, 1956s, the Council received a communication from the Planning Commission approving the proposed annexation. There was also received a cammun - cation from eight persons requesting exclusion from the proposed area. Also, on April 30, 1956, the Council will recall, the City Engineer presented a compre- hensive report, including an illustrated map of the above area. While the City Engineer stated that a portion of the above area, which was indicated on the map, could be served from the existing sewer system, it was estimated that it would cost between $50,000 and $60,000 to construct an interceptor sewer for the remaining portion. This would be in addition to the normal assessment for sewer laterals, in the event the total area were to be annexed. He also estimated that the cost of providing adequate water supply, including pumping stations, supplymains and reservoirs, would call for an expenditure of at least $180,000, in addition to the distribution lines, which would normal3y be assessed to the property { owners. 11r�w On May 7, 1956s, the Council instructed the City Engineer to prepare a boundary descrip- tion and map of the area that can be served by the existing sewer system, and which is roughly bounded by Jefferson Avenue, Lakeview Way, Oak Knoll Krive, and`the present City limits. The City Engineer also advises that the boundary description has been completed, and that the map will be ready by August 15, 1956• While the above is a brief summary of office records, since the City Engineer states that a very substantial expenditure must be made for pumping stations, supply mains and reservoirs, in addition to the construction of distribution water lines normally assessed to property owners, it would seem that some method of financeing these major items aunt necessaryily be developed before initiating annexation proceedings.

He asked that a xopy be made for the press and also for each of the .,, Councilmen. LW PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL D. C.
