C. As can be seen in the legal descriptions, above, it appears that a "metes and
bounds" method of describing land was used when these properties were first portioned
out, many, many years ago. A metes and bounds description in Washington State traces
the perimeter oi a Una pircel by starting at a fixed point, following a sequence of
compass directions and measuied distances, and returning to the starting point ("point
of beginning") to close the boundary. We have included a survey map (Attachment 1), a
parc.] maplattachment 2), a voter precinct map (aftachment 3) and the corrected
resolution document (attachment 4) for reference.
D. There is no current financial obligation that we are aware of. There is a section of
land, located on PN 250833, that iJowned by the State of Washington, which is a small
cemetery. This land is tax-exempt, and there is no value assessment. We understand
that, if approved, the annexation will likely result in an increase in property taxes,
excluding the cemetery property, beginning in 2O27 -
Thank you, very much, for your consideration in this matter.
