Other Cary Annexation News of Interest:
Pay Cary Taxes, but have a mailing
address of Apex? Yep, this is exactly what the new residents of the Gray Hawk
development south of Ten Ten road have. Seems the federal government,
the postal service, did not have a part of assigning where Cary wants to
annex, (not to mention it called the property contiguous based on the
illegal annexation of the Ten Ten roadway) Just another in the long
list of how far Cary and other municipalities will go to get property on
their tax rolls for collection! Imagine explaining to your
family, after just moving here...yes mother, my house is in the Town of
Cary, but I have a Apex North Carolina mailing address This also
shows that the rest of the country, except for four states, by the federal
governments postal service example, don't create this problem for it's residents

Draft report outlines Cary’s annexation possibilities
By ADAM ARNOLD, STAFF WRITER
A draft report that is part of Cary's comprehensive
annexation program identifies 30 different areas — primarily
southeast, northeast and west of the town — that would be
under consideration for annexation.
Town staff emphasized the document's preliminary nature.
"It could be refined and changed," said Jeff Ulma, the
town's director of plannning.
Depending on how the criteria fit a particular area, the
preliminary report puts the area in a general time frame for
possible annexation: 2006 to 2010, 2011 to 2015 and beyond
2015.
Evaluation criteria include contiguity to town boundaries,
availability of services from adjacent municipalities,
existing town infrastructure, age of septic systems and
history of septic system failures.
The program would be used by staff to select areas to
present to council for involuntary annexation in even-numberred
years.
Town staff has been working on an annexation policy for the
town since January 2004. Cary had just aborted the
involuntary annexation of 4,700 people in areas south and
east of the town. The council wanted the policy so it could
clarify how, why and when it would involuntarily annex.
The council approved the first part of an annexation policy
in May. That portion of the policy defines terms, explains
costs for town services and lists benefits of being a town
resident.
"All this second phase does is apply that methodology to
these areas," said Ricky Barker, the town's associate
director of planning.
Ulma said the plan would likely be ready for public comment
early next year.
Ulma said staff would double check its rankings for the
areas to confirm that the analyses are still correct for
each area.
The document is an attempt to balance costs to the town
versus the urban character of the areas under consideration,
Ulma said.
Barker, who takes the lead on annexation planning for the
town, said all residents who would be affected by the plan
would be notified before any public comment was taken.
Those residents will have the opportunity to review and
comment on the final version of the document electronically
or to attend a meeting, Barker said.
In addition to wanting to firm up the analysis, the town
"really had concerns" about trying to publicize a comment
period during the holidays when many people are out of town,
Barker said.
One of the criticisms leveled against the town during the
last proposed annexation was that the proposal was announced
shortly before Thanksgiving 2003.
Barker said the public input received would be reported to
the council in late January or early February.
The council could make a decision on the proposal at that
time, Barker said.
