Mebane council approves annexation measures and planning-board appointments
Summary
At its June 7 meeting, the Mebane City Council approved a voluntary contiguous annexation tied to a 69-unit townhome project, approved an annexation agreement that allows utility access for 1130 West Holt Street with annexation deferred until services are available, and reappointed or appointed members to the planning board.
The Mebane City Council on June 7 approved two annexation-related items and made planning-board appointments.
For a voluntary contiguous annexation of roughly 10.29 acres on Supper Club Road associated with a previously approved 69-unit townhome development (the Mebane Village Towns petition from Little Hammer LLC), staff (Mr. Brown) told the council that staff recommends annexation and that the petition and certificate of sufficiency had been accepted. After a public hearing with no speakers on the annexation, the council voted to adopt an ordinance extending the city’s corporate limits to include the property.
Later in the meeting staff brought forward an annexation-agreement matter for property at 1130 West Holt Street. Brown explained the property already has water and sewer service but is outside the city’s general service area; under the proposed voluntary annexation agreement the owner would be allowed access to city utilities and the annexation itself would be deferred until broader services are extended to the area. The council voted to accept the petition, authorize access to city utilities per the voluntary annexation agreement, and defer annexation until the city’s policy allows it to take effect.
On appointments, planning staff reported three seats with terms ending June 30. Two incumbents — Judy Taylor (planning-board chair) and Ed Talaskis — sought reappointment and one vacancy existed. The council appointed Dalton Mack along with reappointing Judy Taylor and Ed Talaskis to city planning-board seats. The council also recommended David Scott for reappointment to the Alamance County ETJ seat and will forward that recommendation to the county commissioners.
What happens next: staff will implement the annexation ordinance for the Supper Club Road parcel and execute the voluntary annexation agreement for 1130 West Holt Street per its terms when services are available; the planning-board appointments will take effect per standard procedures.
