Township shows his property zoned commercial. He questioned what
the City of Albertville would consider an appropriate land use for
his property. He prefers that the property be zoned residential.
Mark Daleiden, Frankfort Township Supervisor, questioned how
the City of Albertville could serve the property extending east of
Highway 101. Acting Mayor Berning stated he thinks it more
realistic that the properties could be served from Albertville
rather than from st. Michael.
Daleiden explained that negotiations between Frankfort
Township and st. Michael have considered that some areas would be
served more readily by other municipalities or joint service areas.
Annexing the enti re township to the Ci ty of st. Michael can be
viewed as an interim plan that later could be modified by
concurrent detachment/annexation proceedings.
Acting Mayor Berning stated that the City Counci 1 could
rescind all or any portion of the annexation petition anytime.
Larry Barthel, a Frankfort resident, asked Daleiden why the
township could or should not be annexed between the surrounding
municipalities at this time. Daleiden stated that tax-wise it is
cheaper for Frankfort residents to be annexed to the City of st.
Michael. He further added that an existing $100,000 house in
Frankfort Township would pay an additional $15 per year if annexed
to the City of st. Michael and an additional $80-$90 per year if
annexed to the City of Albertville.
There were no other comments or questions from the audience.
Anderson made a motion to adjourn at 6: 30 PM. Vetsch seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
