He further stated that the Petition to annex has not yet been received, but is expected within the 'next few weeks, and recommended that this outside hookup be granted. Planning Director, Rudy Gast, reported that there is some reluctance on the part of one property owner, the applicant's father, to sign the annexation Petition unless he is assured that the zoning will be as he wishes it, and that as yet . the required 75% of assessed valuation of the property involved in this annexation has not been acquired and this signature will give them over the 75%. Mr. Gast further stated that in view of this information, he is against recommending the granting of said outside agreement. Council members indicated that they felt that Mr. Moreau should not be kept from receiving the requested City services because of the unwillingness of others to sign a petition to annex, since he is willing to sign an outside hookup agreement and is in the process of trying to annex to the City.
