was not regarding the hOIne occupation and it is about the annexation.

c...
the issues the neighbors have. He states he feels an obligation to the neighbors around the Frazier and
Moffat properties and nearly all of theln are opposed. He states that he still believes in private
property rights and if they wish to annex, that is their right. He also has a concern about access and
traffic. He discusses the element of the business currently on the property and asks if this process of
going from the County to the City provides a cover. Does the City inherit a business that is non-
