CALL TO THE PUBLIC/ANNOUNCEME~NT,_q }ames D. Schuh, 1660 W. Roller Coaster Road, spoke before the Council regarding his concerns with Consent Agenda Item A. 1, an annexation request by the Northwest Fire District. He questioned where the request originated and stated that it was unusual for this item to be before the Town Council rather than the fire district's own board of directors. Thomas Benavidez explained that, according to state statute, a fire district must receive permission from the municipality before annexing an area into its fire service area. He said that, in the past, the Town Council had given blanket authority to Northwest Fire District to pursue annexation of any territories within the Town's corporate limits. Mayor Sutton added that the statute requires this permission in order to make the annexation a matter of public record. He noted that the request came directly from the Northwest Fire District Board of Directors. Ron Carswell, 5050 West Angel Drive, submitted a speaker card'regarding a past variance request associated with the "R-144" Residential Zone of the Land Development Code. The Woehick family property on Angel Drive has been in violation of the code because of horse structures, RVs and storage buildings on the property prior to building a primary structure. The variance request was denied by the Town Council in October 2001. The WoehJck family was not present at this meeting and Mr. Carswell did not speak. A memo from the P/arming Director, Joel Shapiro, regarding this matter was distributed to the Council and has been made a permanent part of the record.
