Council to consider voluntary annexation of three Ridge Avenue lots into Mooresville
Summary
Planning staff recommended adopting ordinances to annex three existing single-family lots (548, 556 and 558 Ridge Avenue) into Town limits; the parcels would enter Voting Ward 1 and are served by town water and sewer, and staff said the request meets statutory requirements for voluntary annexation.
Planning staff presented a voluntary annexation request on Oct. 1 for three lots in Ridge Avenue Estates (listed in material as 548, 556 and 558 Ridge Avenue). Planner James Coley told the council the three properties are existing single-family houses and the combined parcel area was described in the packet as 0.2267 acres; in his spoken summary Coley said the total of the three parcels is 0.267 acres (the packet and spoken number differ in the record). Staff said the properties would be in Voting Ward 1 if annexed, and that water and sewer are available and connected.
Coley said the request supports the town’s strategic priorities for economic vitality and housing and that the site meets statutory requirements for voluntary annexation. He explained the properties would be annexed individually because contiguity is achieved sequentially (Lot 1 is contiguous now; Lots 2 and 3 become contiguous after prior lots are annexed). Staff confirmed the parcels are within the town’s five-mile coverage area for fire and within a four-minute response time for Station 3; police and public works can serve the properties.
No final vote is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. Staff said they would present the ordinances for council consideration; the applicant presence was noted, and staff invited questions from council members.
