Planning Commission recommends annexation of 7922 Croquette Road to city; forwards to Board of Commissioners

The Fairview Planning Commission on Feb. 11 voted 7–0 to forward a favorable recommendation to the Board of Commissioners on an annexation request for an 8.66‑acre parcel at 7922 Croquette Road, described as Tax Map 21, Parcel 17.01. The applicant is listed as Kelly Holler and the property owner in the application materials was recorded in the staff report as John Hallers.

Planning staff said the parcel is currently within Williamson County, zoned MGA‑5, and is inside Fairview’s urban growth boundary and contiguous to city limits. Staff noted Section 5‑105 of the Fairview Zoning Ordinance requires annexed properties to be zoned RS‑40 unless the applicant requests a different designation; the applicant indicated they do not request a different zoning. Staff said conventional water and sewer taps are available at the road through the Water Authority of Dixon County and that the applicant intends to divide off one parcel to create one additional detached single‑family home in the future.

Kelly Holler of 7922 Croquette Road spoke for the record and said he did not have additional comments beyond the application. Commissioners who spoke in favor noted the parcel’s contiguity to already‑annexed properties along Highway 96 and that the site is within the city’s urban growth boundary; the commission’s role was presented as a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners, which will consider the annexation at a March 6 meeting with potential public hearing and a second reading April 6, 2025, per staff.

A motion to provide a favorable recommendation was made and seconded; Miss Howe called the roll and seven commissioners voted in favor. The commission’s recommendation will be placed on the Board of Commissioners’ March 6 agenda per the staff report.
