Agenda Item Summary:
On December 7, 2015 the City Council directed staff to conduct an annexation study for the Prairie Acres South Mobile Home Park. This direction followed unsuccessful attempts by the property owner to submit a petition for annexation under the voluntary annexation procedures required by SDCL 9-4. The property owners secured the necessary number of signatures to account for 75% of the property valuation; however, they were unable to obtain sufficient signatures from 75% of registered voters. The annexation area consists of approximately 21 acres developed with 67 manufactured homes and a management office. The property owner will be required to obtain a mobile home license permit within four months of annexation in order to operate within the City limits. The property owner has indicated that they are actively working towards meeting these criteria and expect to become compliant within the four month time period. The annexation study provides a more detailed summary of the services the City will provide upon annexation. The annexation study also includes a timetable in which those services will be provided and the estimated cost to the City and the property owners in the annexation area.
