Subject: annexation
To whom it may concern.
Unfortunately , I am unable to approve the annexation
proposal for my Nees and Willow properties ,
Currently ,I am not financially poised to afford the
monetary implications that will result from annexation :
significations increase in annual property tax and
premium house insurance and costly mandatory city
water hook up .My family will also lose our
grandfathered animals rights , which fosters a great
part in our quality of life . thanks you for
understanding .
Best

Dear Planning Commission:
I am the Trustee of the family trust which is the owner of two parcels affected by the above-mentioned Assessment/Application and Development Permit. The addresses of my two parcels are: 2895 N. Willow, Fresno and 2895 E. Nees, Clovis. These are two of the 5 parcels in the Nees-Willow No. 3B Reorganization.
I object to the proposed annexation and related actions as they apply to my two parcels.
The annexation would impose substantial ongoing financial obligations and regulatory changes on my family without any clearly demonstrated benefit. As to the Nees property, I am informed that should annexation occur, I will be required to have both city water and sewage hookups. I have been given estimates from contractors that the water hookup will be more than $15,000.00 -$20,000.00 to become compliant with city requirements. Because of the current existing sewage lines of the city, the estimates I have received for hook up to the sewage system are in the range of $350,000.00. As to the Willow property, there is already water connection to the city lines but I would be required to connect to the sewage lines at the same cost as for the Nees Property. This is a substantial cost that is not now needed as my water and sewage systems are functioning adequately for the properties.
I am advised that the annual property taxes will increase with annexation.
When these properties were purchased, the area was agricultural, and we had a barn and horses on the properties. My property tax rate and my insurance rates were based on the rural nature of the property. I am informed by my insurance broker that with the proposed assessments and applications my insurance premiums will result in permanent and significant rises in property insurance not to mention the distinct possibility of either cancellation or prohibitively higher premiums
I did not purchase or maintain these properties with the expectation that the City would later unilaterally change the properties status or increase in my costs. Any regulatory change that shifts this level of cost and impact on the current residents should require clear justification, meaning protection for existing property rights, and genuine consideration of proper owner opposition.
For these reasons, I respectfully but firmly request that the Planning Commission and City Council decline to approve the annexation, pre-zoning and related development approvals as they pertain to my property, or at a minimum modify the proposal to avoid imposing new taxes, and mandatory utility hook up burdens. I would prefer to have the option of if or when I elect to obtain the water and sewage hookups.
I do not object to the proposals being made on behalf of other property owners in this reorganization district s they pertain to their properties.
If there are any questions please contact me at your earliest convenience.
