| Show Group Continues Continues' Annex Work According to chairman Marlow Marlow Mar Mar- low B. B Yost the committee proposing annexation to North Salt Lake is steadily forging ahead BOUNDARIES have been narrowed nar- nar rowed somewhat for several reasons he reports The most sympathetic areas to this movement movement move move- ment so far are residents of the Oakleaf Subdivision Woodland Subdivision and the area east of these two he said The smaller limits on the area proposed for annexation have resulted from the fact that apparently smaller resIdential sections are easier to work with Smaller areas would be easier to annex and would eliminate te the possibility of an overpowering tax impact upon a city In this case specifically North Salt Lake If the city annexes smaller parcels at ata a time the financial load would not be so great THE TAX impact would result result re- re sult in the fact that the city would have to support services provided to the newly acquired area for most of 1967 Residents Residents Resi- Resi dents would be taxed according to city tax rates immediately but the city elty would not nol have the use of tax money until November Novem- Novem ber 1967 Two services which would be necessary Immediately upon annexation would be garbage service which is free to residents residents resi- resi dents but paid for b by the city At least one additional policeman police police- man would be necessary the committee for annexation said because the county would no longer be obliged to serve the annexed area I IN ADDITION due to address I changes tax ta notices property I evaluation and many 0 other the r transfers of records the committee committee com com- believes North Salt Lake would have to add additional staff in its city offices The boundaries of the area where the petition Is being circulated circulated cir cir- join the city line at Orchard Orchard Or- Or chard Drive and Cudahy Lane and go north to South On South it runs east to the Bountiful city line Une on the hillside hillside hill hill- side continuing east to US U.S. F Forestry tr land lands ALONG THIS boundary it follows fol- fol lows a zig zag pattern to include all privately owned property The line extends south down to the North Salt Lake city boundary boundary bound bound- ary located roughly at Gibbons and Reed Heed Interestingly en enough 0 ugh the boundary Is all east of Orchard Drive Mr lr Yost commented We have not as yet prepared I petitions for property owners between Highway 91 and Orchard Orchard Or- Or chard Drive IT IS FELT that if the crucial area above Orchard Drive Is annexed other sections will follow follow fol- fol low later Concentration is upon the east side for three primary reasons one is that the sympathy sympathy sym sym- pathy for the annexation movement movement move move- ment is prime in that area another another an- an other is a desire to act to protect protect pro pro- the beauty of the hillsIde The third important reason i especially where North Salt Lake is concerned members ot of otI I the committee feel is the fact that it will provide the city with I an Immediate well developed residential block and area for residential expansion An estimated estimated esti- esti mated 1500 people are involved THE AREA for circulating the petition is divided Into three I sections with Ro Roy Jackson in charge of the Oakleaf subdivision I sion Mr and Mrs Neil Sheriff In charge of the area east of I West and the third area Woodland Woodland Wood Wood- land subdivisIon still to be Anally finally fi- fi nally organized Plans have been made to hold holda a meeting within a few weeks to appraise the progress made so far Mr Yost reports lk |
