Cherokee Slow Growth Commissioners Fight City Annexations

As I anticipated in an earlier post about property rights in Cherokee County, the cities within the county are already seeking annexation of property. Of course the Cherokee Board of Commissioners are fighting the City of Holly Springs over the issue…

County, Holly Springs face off
Board of Commissioners challenges two annexations; growth boundary expired Dec. 31
The Cherokee County Commission is formally challenging two annexation proposals under review by the city of Holly Springs, officials said.

The annexation petitions of Bridgemill Eye Clinic for 1409 Sixes Road and Square Foot Design & Build for 120 and 148 Tom Charles Lane seek Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zoning, documents show. The Sixes Road site is nearly 4.5 acres and the Tom Charles Lane tract is almost 0.8 acres.

The Holly Springs Planning & Zoning Commission is scheduled to hold public hearings on the annexation and zoning requests during its Jan. 25 meeting at 6 p.m. at the Holly Springs Public Safety Building, 3235 Holly Springs Parkway.

County officials said the reasons for the challenges include their belief the projects would be out of character for the areas and they question whether the infrastructure and service delivery costs would be in place.

County officials are also questioning whether the two properties – the Sixes Road tract is west of Interstate 575 and the Tom Charles Lane site is off Ga. 140 near Harmony on the Lakes – are adjacent to the city limits, county officials said. Holly Springs City Manager Tony Griffin said both properties border the city limits.

Under state law, a mediation process between the governments may be triggered if differences over the proposals are unresolved, officials said.

I thought residents elected public officials to solve problems, not create them? Individual property owners have rights that county officials should not try to remove. If you want to help stand up for your property rights, then visit http://cherokeecpr.com
