Council approves annexation agreement with Turtle Creek Township for 313‑acre Schwartz property
Summary
Lebanon City Council adopted an annexation agreement (identified in the transcript as an ordinance/"Order December '8") allowing a Type 1 annexation of about 313 acres off Drake Road to support the Ray Rock residential development; the ordinance passed with one recorded opposing vote.
The Lebanon City Council on Tuesday approved an annexation agreement with Turtle Creek Township for the Schwartz property, described in the meeting as a Type 1 annexation of approximately 313 acres off Drake Road to support the future Ray Rock residential development. The ordinance language declared temporary obligations and an emergency so the annexation could proceed.
Council recorded one opposing vote: Mrs. Eggers voted no. Other roll call votes recorded in the meeting were in favor, including Mayor Messer and Vice Mayor Norris. The motion to adopt was moved, seconded and carried on roll call.
City staff said pursuing a Type 1 annexation will allow the property to be removed from township jurisdiction and annexed into the city; the annexation agreement establishes temporary obligations between the city and the township related to the property. The transcript includes references to the 313‑acre size and to supporting the Ray Rock residential development as the annexation’s purpose.
What’s next: staff will finalize the annexation agreement steps and record any required documents with the township and county as directed by the agreement.
