| Background: |
This is the third phase of a three-phase process for a "full consent"
annexation (where all of the landowners and at least 50% of the electors
residing in the area to be annexed have consented to the annexation). The
first phase is the land use phase coordinated through the planning department
where hearings are held before the planning commission and the council. That
phase was completed in February 2003 when the council voted to approve the
annexation.
The second phase was completed on December 16, 2003, when the council annexed
the property by resolution.
The third phase involves the withdrawal of the annexed area from any special
district. For Ashland, the only special district the city generally withdraws
from is Jackson County Fire District #5. This phase involves a public hearing,
which occurred on December 16, 2003, and council adoption of an ordinance
withdrawing the area from the district. |
