Councilman Vehon pointed out that the annexation is up to roads,but not including roads,and asked what private land is included in the annexation. Mr.Nakagawa stated that the reason for annexing up to the roads is implied leverage with Pinal County for the improvement of the roadways,and that the only private land included in the annexation is the Elks Lodge with all other lands being State or BLM. Councilman Vehon asked i f this application implies an intent to annex to the north and east into Gold Canyon. Mr.Nakagawa replied that there is no annexation proposal to do that.

Mr.Holbrook stated that he wished to donate his time to Mr.Ray Harlan. Mr.Ray Harlan,5733 E.18th Avenue, Apache Junction,stated that he is representing a group of people from that area,and asked how the City can afford supporting this additional land with police and road maintenance with the decrease in revenue.Mr.Harlan further addressed the Council in opposition to the annexation. Councilman Vehon pointed out that Ironwood and Idaho Roads would be annexed north up to McKellips,and Broadway, Lost Dutchman,and Superstition up to Mountain View or Arroya,and that the only roads excluded are those that would have been split between the County and the City. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 6,1990 PAGE 8 Mr.Harlan asked i f those would be maintained by the city. Councilman Vehon replied that those would be maintained by the County,and only Ironwood and Idaho would be in the City. City Engineer Gordon Grandy stated that Broadway is included in the annexation. Mr.Harlan stated that it's only one-half mile of Broadway,and asked who's going to maintain the rest of the roads,as the County already spent their budget for road improvements for this year. Mr.Nakagawa explained that the reasons for excluding the roads,also used by the City of Mesa,that the county tax monies generated by the City be brought back into the community to help build the roads,and that this will put leverage on the County to get them to participate with the City on the road projects. Ms Rosemary Shear,3650 S.Blackhawk Rd.,Kings Ranch,President of Adobe Homeowners Association,addressed the Council in opposition to the proposed annexation,stating that an act of good faith to the residents in the Kings Ranch/Gold Canyon area would be to drop the annexation,as i t appears to indicate an intent by the City to eventually annex the Kings Ranch/Gold Canyon area. Mayor Bluntschly stated that the Council has made a statement that all the City is interested in is State and BLM lands,and that any private landowners are going to have to petition the City for annexation. Ms Shear asked why the City wants to annex Silly Mountain,and what could i t possible be used for. Councilwoman Alger replied that the City has a radio/repeater tower on Sill Mountain.

Ms Betty Caruthers,4116 E. Broadway,Apache Junction,asked i f the City would clean up the "dump"after annexing,and what would be done with the property that is annexed. Councilman Vehon stated that the City would have to clean i t up,and that the BLM land is the location for the planned equestrian trail.Councilman Vehon explained that the State wishes higher density on the State land,but the City wants to keep i t one residence per acre,so with annexation the City can have more control over the development of the area. Mr.George Johnson,3550 S. Blackhawk,Kings Ranch,member of Adobe,stated that if Gold Canyon/Kings Ranch had 600 more residents they would incorporate,but i f this land is annexed,they cannot incorporate without Apache Junction's permission. Mr.Rene LeSieutre,5820 E.14th Avenue,Apache Junction,reiterated that the City cannot annex private property without 51% of the people in favor of it. Mr.Gene Wilson,4230 E.Broadway, Apache Junction,stated that he moved here because of being surrounded by State land feeling that it wouldn't be developed,and was not happy that it may be annexed. Mr.Larry Littlejohn,750 E.Arroyo Lindo,east of Mountain View,stated that this proposed annexation is in the best interest of Apache Junction,but is i t in the best interest of those people north,east and south of Apache Junction.Mr.Littlejohn added that Apache Junction seems to have problems maintaining the current limits without adding to it. Mayor Bluntschly commented that this area is designated as "open space"land. Mr.Littlejohn asked i f the City can maintain i t in the future,or are apartments going to be put in.

Ms Nancy Koerner,1026 N. Goldfield,Apache Junction,asked i f the BLM land currently leased for the equestrian trail is not annexed,what would happen to the lease. Parks and Recreation Director Jeff Bell replied that the City would still be leasing the land,but the benefit of annexation would be the police protection for any equipment or facilities on that land. Ms Christiana Juck,10880 Cordova, Gold Canyon,asked why the Silly Mountain portion was added to the proposed annexation. Mr.Hoffman explained that the intent was to annex State and BLM lands north and east of the City,and when the staff got to the details of this proposal,it was included as i t is leased BLM land. Mr.Hoffman added that this is the purpose of this hearing,is to eliminate surprises and enhance communication. Ms Juck requested that the strip be deleted from the proposal,as a sign of good faith.
