Applicant asks Live Oak to annex about 13 acres so a single development application can be filed
Loading...
Summary
At a public hearing on Ordinance 1532, applicant representative George T. Reeves told the City of Live Oak council the request would bring roughly 13 acres into the city so the owner can file one development application; council members probed whether earlier development plans would still proceed. No final vote was taken.
An applicant asked the City of Live Oak to annex roughly 13 acres of property so the owner can submit a single development application to the city rather than splitting filings between city and county jurisdictions.
“My name is George T. Reeves. I’m representing the applicant,” Reeves said. “We are requesting that the city redefine the boundaries of the city limits to include about 13 acres of our property.” He told the council the land lies partly inside the city and partly in the county and that the annexation would allow a single application to proceed before one permitting body.
Reeves said the applicant had not yet filed a development application and emphasized the annexation request was intended to streamline review: “We would like to file one application with the city for the whole property, not do an application with the city for the part of the city and an application for the part of the county.”
A council member raised questions about whether the applicant still planned to pursue the development proposal that had been discussed earlier. That council member asked whether, if the board moved forward with annexation, the applicant would still proceed with the original development plans previously shown to the council. Reeves said plans had changed and that they intended to submit a new application if annexation were approved.
The council opened the public hearing and swore in anyone wishing to testify; testimony from the applicant was taken. The hearing remained open at the close of the recorded transcript and no final council vote on the annexation was recorded during the excerpt.
What happens next: the council has opened a public hearing, taken applicant testimony, and sought clarifications; no adoption or denial of Ordinance 1532 is recorded in the available transcript.
