Committee authorizes law director to begin annexation process for 0.67-acre parcel

The Law and Ordinance Committee voted unanimously on Monday to authorize the city’s director of law to act as the agent for a property owner to begin the formal annexation process for a 0.67-acre parcel described in the transcript as "3103110 Center Road." Chair Jeffrey Widdon opened the Nov. 24 meeting and presented the request.

An unidentified committee presenter summarized the background, saying the lot is "less than 1 acre, two thirds of an acre," located on a corner adjacent to a 50-to-60-acre annexation the council recently approved but that the parcel was not part of. "We have the survey, we have the drawing and the law director is ready to begin the formal process of annexation for this property owner," the presenter said.

The presenter told the committee the property owner agreed to pursue annexation separately from the larger nearby development. The committee clarified there was no request for emergency legislation and that the action was an administrative authorization to let the law director file and pursue the required annexation steps.

A motion to "move forward" was made and, with no recorded objections, the committee moved forward by unanimous consent. "It is unanimous to move forward," Chair Widdon said. The committee adjourned shortly afterward.

The transcript lists the parcel address as "3103110 Center Road," which appears garbled in the record; the committee provided the acreage and confirmed survey and drawing documents are available, but the precise street address should be verified in the official file.
