The council has many new members since the issue of annexation first came up. CSD is calling for members to attend the meeting so that we can support the case for the 100% annexation of land abutting the Scanlon farms. The North Liberty City Council will have to renew their support for the annexation before the City Development Board is able to proceed. (See the map here) CSD supported annexation moves to the forefront. In November, 2009, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled in faver of Oglesby in their case vs. the City of Coralville. CSD has supported the case by Oglesby arguing that the annexation proposal by The City of Coralville failed to properly notify the neighboring landowners. THis court decision is important because it clears the way for North Liberty to proceed with the annexation process. CSD supports North Liberty in this effort. (Read about the judgement here) Introduction to the Citizens for Sensible Development In the summer of 2006, the Johnson County residents on the southern end of the North Corridor (an area bounded on the east by the Iowa River, on the south by I-80, on the west by SR 965, and on the north by Mahaffey Bridge Road) organized a not-for-profit group called 'Citizens for Sensible Development' (CSD). The original purpose of CSD was to educate government officials and the general public on issues related to traffic, safety, and sensible development in the North Corridor. After repeated contact with officials and staff of the County Board of Supervisors, and the Cities of Coralville, and North Liberty, members of CSD grew more and more to feel that they had no representation in any local government. It became clear that the best cure for their disenfranchisement would be annexation to that city which had shown a willingness to listen and to give consideration to the voice of its citizens. For nearly all of the residents in the CSD area, the city of choice was North Liberty. We support: Development projects and road alignments in the North Corridor that allow for growth while minimizing the negative effects on existing neighborhoods. Coordination of development with road alignments that take into account the impact of traffic throughout the North Corridor. Careful planning for the entire North Corridor, which includes citizen input. Click here to see a map of the North Corridor. Citizens for Sensible Development P. O.
