The battle continues over the annexation of county island 80-2. Some residents favor annexation by Arcadia, while others wish to become a part of Temple City. The Arcadia City Council has approved annexation of the Shelter Isle Village condominium as a separate unit. Costs involved in the annexation of the rest of the area are discussed.
Residents of the 80-2 Homeowners Association are regrouping in their efforts to have their 84+ acre area south and west of the city annexed. Issues involved are discussed.
A house-to-house survey of registered voters in Annexation Area 80-2 shows that most of the voters favor annexation by Arcadia over Temple City. Article gives the breakdown by street. The area is an "island" bounded by Temple City Blvd. on the west, Longden Ave. on the south, and the Arcadia boundary on the north and east.
There was standing room only at City Council meeting as the request for annexation by residents of an area west of the city was considered. The matter will be brought up again in July after Council has had time to investigate the ramifications.
