PUBLIC HEARING - ELIGIBILITY
Resolution of the Castle Rock Town Council Making Required Statutory Findings Concerning the Eligibility of Certain Property for Annexation (Memmen Parcel Annexation)
The Town Council will now consider this Resolution. As is outlined in the agenda memorandum, this is the second stage of annexation proceedings as specified by statute and town code. This eligibility hearing requires the Council to determine whether the annexation petition and property comply with certain statutory requirements. The applicant is entitled to a fair and impartial hearing on whether the applicant has demonstrated compliance with these requirements. Determination of eligibility does not in any manner bind the Council to favorably consider the annexation when the annexation ordinance is later presented to Council for hearing and final action.
Does any Councilmember have any questions or concerns with the purpose of the hearing and the effect of the Resolution?
