Council approves contiguous annexation on Merriman Avenue
Summary
The council adopted an ordinance extending Hendersonville's corporate limits to include a 0.5-acre parcel off Asheville Highway (owner: Juan Borges), finding statutory standards satisfied under N.C. Gen. Stat. 160A-31.
City planning staff presented a petition for contiguous annexation of a 0.5-acre parcel off Asheville Highway; the applicant was identified as Greg Grooms and the owner as Juan Borges. Staff described the parcel as contiguous to the city's northern boundary and provided the annexation plat.
A councilor moved that the city adopt an ordinance extending the corporate limits to annex the property (PN 9569-37-3239), finding the standards of North Carolina General Statute 160A-31 satisfied and that the annexation is in the public interest. The council approved the motion by voice vote.
Council made no substantive amendment to the staff recommendation during the public hearing; no members of the public spoke for or against the annexation during the hearing.
