The petition of Elsie J. Burke complies with the requirements of Article 17 of the General Municipal
Law and is found to have been properly executed by a qualified person.
The public hearing on this petition reveals no credible evidence that
the annexation is not in the overall public interest.
Both the City of Beacon and the Town of Fishkill finds the annexation
to be in the overall public interest and in the interests of the City and
the town, respectively, and of the owner of the land that is subject to the
annexation petition in that:
A. The annexation will facilitate the subdivision of property
sought by the owner, Elsie J. Burke;
B. The annexation will ensure coverage by the Beacon Fire
Department which has access to the subject premises via Depyster Avenue;
C. Property taxes due to the City and the town will be adjusted
pro rata to account for the change of taxable status after the taxable status
date as that term is defined in the Real Property Tax Law.
Pursuant to § 714 of the General Municipal Law, a public hearing
is not required prior to enactment of this local law.
The zoning designation of this annexed area shall be Residential 1,
40,000 square feet (R1-40).
The annexation described in the petition (Exhibit A) is approved; and
it is ordered that the consent approval of the City Council of the City of
Beacon is hereby granted to the annexation of the area described in the petition
(Exhibit A).
