Planning commission backs annexation and deannexation to reconcile Kendrick Golf Course boundary
Summary
Sheridan commissioners recommended City Council approve two ordinances to deannex 3.64 acres owned by Sheridan Heights Ranch LLC and to annex 4.15 acres into the city for Kendrick Municipal Golf Course, yielding a net gain of roughly 0.5 acre to the city.
On Aug. 25, 2025, the Sheridan City Planning Commission recommended that City Council approve two related ordinances: Ordinance 22‑95 (PL 25‑21), a petition to deannex 3.64 acres owned by Sheridan Heights Ranch LLC, and Ordinance 22‑97 (PL 25‑26), to annex 4.15 acres into the city to be added to Kendrick Municipal Golf Course. The pair of actions will reconcile municipal boundaries with a property boundary adjustment finalized in December 2024.
Kelly Schroeder, city planner, said the city worked with Sheridan Heights Ranch LLC last December on a boundary line adjustment so the golf course’s fence line and cart paths matched parcel lines. That adjustment did not change the municipal boundary and resulted in small tracts being inside and outside the city; quick‑claim deeds swapped ownership so the city now has a net gain of about half an acre when combining the annexation and deannexation.
Schroeder said the deannexation process is governed by state statute cited in the packet as “15 1 4 21” and that the petition to deannex was filed with the city on June 26, 2025. She said the Board of County Commissioners reviewed and approved the deannexation report on Aug. 19, 2025. She added that annexations where the city is the sole owner are governed by statute identified in the packet as “15 1 4 07” and do not require a public hearing, public notice, or annexation report; nevertheless, the city published a legal ad and held a public hearing at the planning commission meeting. Schroeder said no public comments had been received by staff to date.
The commission voted separately to recommend approval of each ordinance. Commissioners noted the golf course will technically own and maintain slightly more land but that the boundary adjustment reflects how the course has been operated. Upon annexation, the added land will take the default R‑1 residential zoning consistent with the existing golf course parcel, Schroeder said.
Both motions passed on voice votes and will advance to City Council for final action.
