Good morning Kendall,
Please see the email below. I do not have Jim’s email
address, so, could you please forward this to Jim if you believe he would want
to see it? Let me know if this is sufficient or if you need anything
more.
Thanks.

Subject: Annexation
To
whom it may concern:
I
am the President of the Wild Glen Condominium Association, representing a
residential condominium development of 72 units. This development should have
been included in the annexation area for the City of Kirkland and were it not
for an administrative error, our development would become part of the City of
Kirkland when it annexes the Juanita, Finn Hill and Kingsgate areas on June 1,
2011.
Our
residents very much want to be annexed to Kirkland on June 1, 2011 as it was
intended to be. We want to be annexed for the same reasons that the majority of
annexation area citizens voted “yes” in the general election so that we can
have City of Kirkland services. Our residents have previously submitted a
petition in support of annexation to Kirkland. Our board has discussed it
regularly and we remain committed to annexation to Kirkland. At our most recent
annual homeowners’ meeting, the agenda included a presentation and update about
annexation by Marilynne Beard. At that time, residents had the opportunity to
ask questions and many residents spoke in support of annexation and none spoke
opposed.
It
should also be noted that if we are not annexed to Kirkland as part of this
process on June 1, our development will become the last remaining parcel in
Fire District 41, which would be a complicated arrangement for all concerned.
We
understand that because of how this has occurred and because we are not
currently contiguous to the City of Kirkland, that the Interlocal Agreement is
the only way for us to become part of the City of Kirkland on June 1, 2011. We
respectfully request approval of the Interlocal Agreement.
Thank
you for your consideration.
