Petaluma A iie xation #2 Continua of H .���.��"..__ _ _ _,-- -T John . Gutermute addressed the Council protesting the annexation of f the Gutermute property. He believed the taxes would be increased considerably more than the previously stated amount of $63. 00, inasmuch as the .Land 'w.ould probably be designated as 'residential after annexation, He was also concerned that the annexation of the land would have an ill effect on the deal on which. his family had been working for quite some time, for the subdivision of the entire Gutermute ranch In reference to the- City's having to maintain approximately 20.00 feet. of Ely Road if the Mitchell property were annexed in another manner, Mr. G'uterm.ute stated that eventually the City would be maintaining this entire portion of Ely Road anyway„ Mrs. Stella Von Arx protested the annexation of the - Gutermute property as proposed,, Calling attention to the proposed sewer mains for the amlexation, Council:- man. C.r. inell:a. suggested. that the 'developer construct the main through the Gu.termu Le property. Mr. John Mitchell stated that he had. no objections to this. For the information of those present, Councilman Van'Bebber went over the Council's reasons for including the Gutermute property in .the proposed annexation. T-le pointed out that if the annexation were accomplished in the mariner suggested by the Gutermute's attorney, it would actually be a limited annexation, Iii. other words, it would not be possible to annex to contiguous property unless more laird came into the City between the annexation and the City. This method would also include some 2000 feet of roadway which the City would have to maintain. Relative to taxes on the Guterm.ute property, as he understood, it would be due for reapp.r.a :isa;I and reassessment in the near future regardless of whether or not it were annexed, Councilman Van Bebber further pointed out that the Council was looking at this matter from. a standpoint of 'the best `interest of the City of Petaluma and felt that the inclusion of the Gutermute property was the most logical way to proceed with the subject annexation, The ordinance approving the annexation was then introduced as follows Ord. #685 N.
