Thank you for your consideration and your understanding.

These cases will be presented to the city council on Tuesday, January 2nd of 2024.

Our first case we'll be hearing today is case 05-23.

A request to voluntarily de-annex a property from the city of Joplin.

Good evening, Commission.

Uh cities representing this case tonight.

This was annexed in 2022.

The owners of the property had an out-of-town sewer agreement with the city.

Um after so much time, the uh city was to annex the property into the city as is pretty consistent with these out-of-town sewer agreements.

Um they have never uh hooked up to uh sanitary sewer, this property around with everything else in the uh the neighborhood.

So this is an existing subdivision outside of city limits.

It has not accounted for uh utilities infrastructure that the city would typically want to see uh roads are not designed to uh city standards, so there's a lot going on in this property, and a little bit of uh background information.

Generally, we do not um de-annex property upon request.

Um there is some very site-specific stuff going on here, which I'll get into in a minute, but that's the background on the property.

Umers do not want to be within the city limits.
