Annexation Presentation Planning for our Future.
Why Annex? • Provide a compact, contiguous and distinct city boundary • Plan for and manage future transportation needs • Control storm water runoff • Provide for future extension of the city’s water and sewer systems • Insure compatible land use • Continue to maintain a financially sound community
Transportation Management • As growth occurs outside the municipal limits, continued demand is placed on the city’s transportation infrastructure requiring the city to secure right-of-way for collector and major streets for future improvements and added capacity. • East West Parkway located in “South” annexation area is designated as a proposed major roadway in the City’s long range Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
Storm Water Runoff • There are approximately 10 various water sheds surrounding Washington located in unincorporated Franklin County • 28,004 Acres in the Busch Creek, Southwest Busch Creek and Dubois Creek flows through the city limits adding to flooding issues along the Busch and Dubois Creek area. • Franklin County has limited authority and control of storm-water management issues effecting local communities.
