Title
Resolution to Petition the State of Michigan Boundary Commission to Annex Various Parcels from the Charter Township of Ann Arbor
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution authorizing the Community Services Area Administrator to act on behalf of the City to petition the State of Michigan Boundary Commission for annexation of various parcels from the Charter Township of Ann Arbor.
On September 19, 2011, City Council directed staff to begin a strategic process of gradually annexing township island parcels in the City's ultimate utility service area. The resolution directed staff to initiate the annexation of properties owned by utility companies, publicly owned parcels, and clusters of township islands within the ultimate service boundary area (see attached memo for background).
Since City Council passed the annexation resolution, a staff team has met regularly to identify those parcels to be annexed first and to develop the procedures for annexing township parcels into the City. City staff has identified six utility owned parcels, two small clusters of privately owned township parcels, one single family parcel, and the rear yard of a single-family home.
