Council outlines annexation plans, including Paige Morgan property and roughly 100 acres
Summary
Councillors reviewed maps and said they plan to annex Paige Morgan's parcel and additional nearby properties—around 100 acres total—bringing those areas inside Clawson town limits and changing connection/tax status.
Council members described planned annexations that would bring several parcels, including property belonging to Paige Morgan, into Clawson city limits. Speaker 1 said the corners of Paige Morgan's parcel now meet the town boundary and that when plats are complete the council will schedule public hearings.
Speaker 1 said, "So we're annexing, probably over a 100 acres right there," and explained annexation will change how water connections and rural connection charges apply. Members noted annexation would reduce rural-connection costs for affected residents but could raise property taxes marginally for those parcels once inside town limits.
Council staff reported that plats are being drawn and that some property owners may object at the public hearing stage; the council expects to complete technical mapping and then provide notice to affected residents. The council also discussed that annexation would limit the possibility of nearby large-scale solar development coming into town boundaries.
Next steps: finalize plats, circulate public notices, and schedule public hearings before formal annexation votes.
