Council takes no action on two petitions to remove properties from city extraterritorial jurisdiction
Summary
The Montgomery City Council declined to act on two petitions seeking to remove private property from the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), including a petition by Treaty of Developers LLC and one by Steven and Lisa Havens, citing the need for further study and attorney guidance.
The Montgomery City Council on Tuesday took no action on two petitions asking the city to release private property from its extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Council tabled consideration of a petition from Treaty of Developers LLC after at least one councilmember asked for more study; council discussion noted recent earth-moving activity on the site and questions about whether changes to the parcel could affect water flow. The council ultimately took no action on the item at the meeting.
Later in the agenda the council considered a similar petition from Steven Havens and Lisa Havens, property located along Spring Branch Road. According to the transcript, the city attorney recommended taking no action; the council voted to follow that recommendation.
Minutes show the council’s decision was procedural: no release from the ETJ was granted at Tuesday’s meeting. Staff and council members flagged drainage and site-disturbance concerns but did not record a final planning determination or enforcement step in the meeting excerpt.
