utility, a Consent to Annex/Notice of Withdrawal from Rural Fire District and a Petition
Requesting Annexation shall be properly filed with the City Attorney and said annexation
request shall be approved by City Resolution or Ordinance as may be appropriate.
Service will be extended only to existing or proposed developments that are contiguous to

city limits, the property owner shall apply to the City for preliminary plat approval and
simultaneously petition for annexation to the City, and the property or each phase shall be

land division which is exempt from subdivision regulations and is beyond city limits, the
property owner shall petition to annex and the property shall be annexed prior to filing
the certificate of survey with the County Clerk and Recorder to create the land division.
These changes comprise the total of the changes discussed at the work session. Please forward
