From the Daily Astorian:
Boundaries for the proposed annexation stretch from the equivalent of 13th Street north to near Del Rey Beach Road and will include the Highlands and Pacific Palisades subdivisions. The total area, west of U.S. Highway 101, is 129 acres and includes 153 property owners.
If the council approves the annexation Wednesday, it could become effective in November, said City Manager Dennis McNally.
McNally said the Gearhart City Council initiated the annexation a year ago by asking him to send annexation consent forms to the area’s property owners.
In return, the city received signed consent forms from 64 percent of the property owners, McNally said.
At least 50 percent of the property owners, 50 percent of the acreage and 50 percent of the area’s value must be represented on the consent forms to create a so-called “triple majority” that triggers an annexation. The City Council must also approve it.
