Identification of Parcels to be Annexed by Hillsborough <br />31 Town Planning Director Margaret Hauth used a map to show the parcels of land that the Town has <br />32 annexed. Part of the agreement of the annexation was that the owners would not expect services to be <br />33 provided by the Town. If services are provided, the property owners will pay the cost. These were effective <br />34 April 10. They will have zoning hearings the end of this month. Fox Meadow requested R-20 for a total of <br />35 190 acres. The Town still has another 70 or 80 acres that they can annex. The Hines-Liner property was <br />36 24 acres. <br />37 In answer to a question from Chair Margaret Brown, Mayor Johnson said that the purpose for <br />38 annexing one of these areas was the threat of the County locating a landfill in that area. Both of the areas <br />39 they annexed will provide growth areas for the Town of Hillsborough. <br />40 <br />41 B. Possible Annexation of Fairview Community Park <br />42 Mayor Johnson said that they have a law enforcement problem in the Fairview Community because <br />43 part of this area is in the Town's city limits and part is in the County. Also, the County does not keep up the <br />44 maintenance at Fairview Park. <br />45 Commissioner Gordon said that she would be willing to sell this land to the Town for $1.00. The <br />46 County Commissioners will discuss this option and let the Town know its decision. <br />47 Horace Johnson said that they have provided water to the park. He said that they would be willing to <br />48 take the park for $1.00. The Town Board will also further discuss this issue. <br />49 <br />50 C. PROPOSED FAIRVIEW PARK COMMUNITY CENTER <br />51 Horace Johnson said that funds are in the budget to upgrade this facility. This will provide the <br />52 presence of law enforcement officers for that neighborhood and also provide a facility for community <br />53 meetings and activities. <br />54 <br />55
