Board approves second reading of Quinn Road deannexation ordinance after resident testimony
Summary
On second reading the board approved Ordinance 2026-02 deannexing four Quinn Road parcels; staff noted those properties lack town water/sewer and that extending water to the area could cost roughly $1.8 million for 6,000 feet of line. Owner Brian Wilmar urged deannexation, saying residents pay taxes without services.
The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved the second reading of Ordinance 2026-02 on Jan. 12, moving a Quinn Road deannexation toward a final hearing scheduled for Jan. 26.
Assistant Town Planner Donqueta Singleton presented the deannexation request covering four parcels (three owned by Mitchell and Cheryl Hart; one by Brian and Shelley Wilmoth) that were annexed previously in a larger 2019 annexation. Singleton told the board the properties are currently zoned forest/agricultural/residential and that the town has not provided certain services to these parcels. She said the town does not currently provide water or sewer to the parcels (they remain on well water and septic) and that "it could cost roughly $1,800,000 to extend about 6,000 feet of water lines down Quinn Road to the last incorporated property." She also explained that following deannexation, emergency and school services would default to Shelby County and that the properties would move to Conservation Agriculture zoning under the Memphis-Shelby County Unified Development Code.
During the public hearing, property owner Brian Wilmar of 1060–1066 Quinn Road said residents were promised services after annexation but have not received them. "We're paying for taxes and not getting a thing," he told the board, urging the town to consider future provision of water while explaining current costs make it infeasible now.
After closing the hearing, the board moved and approved the second reading by roll-call vote. Staff advised that a third and final reading and hearing is scheduled for Jan. 26.
