<br />ville as described above to be excluded therefrom and to remain and continue in
<br />all respects and for all purposes a part of the county of Albemarle.
<br />(2) The City of Charlottesville doth hereby set forth the necessity for and the
<br />expediency of the proposed annexation, that is to say:
<br />(a) That said annexation will give better health, police, fire and zoning
<br />protection, and water, Sas, street and public school facilities in the annexed
<br />territory than the County in which it is located can provide for the property and
<br />residents of same.
<br />(b) That the present and prospective systems of public improvements of the
<br />City, such as the establishment of grades of streets and alleys, the plans of con-
<br />struction of sewers, culverts, drains, water and gas mains, as well as zoning, building
<br />and health regulations, may be designed, adjusted and made, so as to avoid unnecessary
<br />annoyance, damage and expense necessarily occurring, where property is developed and
<br />built upon before such systems, plans and regulations are designated, acquired and made.
<br />(c) That a large part of the territory proposed to be annexed, though already
<br />built upon and occupied by residents, is without any sufficient system of sewers, or
<br />other improvements which ma'es it not only expedient but necessary that some complete
<br />system of sewerage be promptly designed and provided for the proper sanitation and im-
<br />provement of said territory at the earliest practical date.
<br />(d) That within the territory proposed to be annexed, there are several
<br />sections where houses and property are more or less dense, which necessitate. better
<br />police and fire protection than the County of Albemarle is enabled, with the means at
<br />its command, to afford such persons and properties and as a result, said conditions
<br />endanger t_ze safety of life and property not only without but also within the corporate
<br />limits.
<br />(e) That a large part of the territory proposed to be annexed is subdivided
<br />into building lots, is thickly populated and empties its sewerage either through
<br />privately owned systems, cess pools, seepage, drainage or otherwise, all of which
<br />constitutes a menace to the health of the people of the City of Charlottesville, and the
<br />inhabitants of the territory proposed to be annexed.
<br />(f) That there have been for a number of years past, suburban development and
<br />subdivision of property into lots and a number of sections of the territory proposed to
<br />be annexed, which lie just outside of the City of Ch«rlottesville and in the line of its
<br />inevitable growth, which sections must of necessity become a physical part of said City
<br />in the near future; that the City has contributed to this development by extending its
<br />municipal systems, services and activities into said proposed territory, and because of
<br />these developments, it is highly expedient and essential, if not absolutely necessary,
<br />that the sewerage, drainage, water supply, police, fire protection and streets of these
<br />sections should constitute one comprehensive system, and their future development be
<br />planned on one comprehensive scale, to the end that the people of both the City and annexed
<br />territory will be saved the loss and waste necessitated by the abandonment and replacement
<br />of inadequate and unrelated improvements which have been and are being constructed in the
<br />development of property* within the annexed territory, said improvements being suitable only
<br />to each development or subdivision and not beinb m.,'de with reference to the future con-
<br />solidation and needs of the entire annexed territory.
