A land owner on the western boundary of the City of Smithville wants his property annexed into the municipality.
Matt Holmes has made the request and Monday night the aldermen adopted a resolution to schedule a public hearing for Monday, April 5 at 6 p.m. at city hall on the proposed rezoning and plan of services prior to action by the board. A plan of services has already been reviewed by the Smithville Planning Commission.
The property is located at the corner of Highway 70 and Allen’s Ferry Road. A portion of the property is already in the city.
State law requires that all annexations include a Plan of Services (POS). The POS outlines those services, such as sewer, that will be made available to the land being annexed and the timeframe within which services and/or amenities will be provided.
