FROM, THE: <br /> <br />MANAGER'S <br /> <br />OFFI~E <br />pfg' 421.66.30 <br />~ A.C, §12 <br /> <br />C <br /> 1 <br /> T <br /> Y <br /> <br />oF <br /> <br />A <br />N <br /> <br />H <br /> I <br />N <br />N <br /> <br /> S <br />O <br /> T <br /> <br />ZIP CODE <br /> n5303 <br /> <br />August 6~ 1969 <br /> <br />Minnesota Municipal Commission <br />610 Capitol Square Building <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br /> Please find enclosed a petition for annexation of certain described <br />properties to the City of Anoka. These properties are presently in <br />Grow and Ramsey Townships, both of which abut the City of Anoka. The <br />property is less than 200 acres, being approximately 194 acres; The <br />property has two owners: the north half belonging to Anoka-Hennepin School <br />District #11; the south (approximate) 1/2 being the property of Anoka <br />State Hospital. (Please see attached map for reference.) <br /> <br /> Exhibit "A" of the petition contains a census of the property, <br />indicating that two (2) persons reside on th~ State Hospital portion. <br />These persons are employees-in-residence of the Anoka State Hospital. <br />~e census also indicates the existence of six buildings, including the <br />house with garage occupied by the above two persons. <br /> <br /> Attached to the petition is' a letter from School District #11, which <br />requests that their property be annexed to the City of Anoka. Full utility <br />service to the site of this new Senior High School (water, sanitary sewer, <br />drainage, electric power) will be provided by the City of Anoka. The <br />State-owned property lies between the present hospital compound (which lies <br />within the city limits), and the proposed school site. Please note however, <br />that the entire east boundary of the school property abuts the City of Anoka <br />across 7th Avenue. The school property could be petitioned for annexation <br />on the basis of this abutting frontage. However, it is not deemed desirable <br />to have as large a parcel of property as that owned by the State Hospital, <br />under township jurisdiction while it lies well within the city limits. In <br />addition, the utility services extended to the school site must cross the <br />state-owned land. The City of Anoka prefers'that the extension of such <br />utilities be across only properties within the City Limits. <br /> <br /> The Town Board of Grow Township has unofficially consented to the <br />annexation petitioned herewith. Formal action by the Board will be next <br />Tuesday, August 12, 1969. Copies of their formal action will be sent to <br />all parties concerned at that time. Similar endorsement by. the Ramsey <br />Township Board will be eought as well, and certified copies of such approval <br />will also be forwarded to all concerned parties. <br /> <br /> Your consideration of the enclosed petition is respectfully requested. <br />Please do not hesitate to contact us for amy additional information required, <br /> <br />SCO/ek <br />Encl. <br />Copies to: County of Anoka <br /> ?
