Two homes on

New Hope Road have received approval for annexation from the Fayetteville

Planning and Zoning Commission.

The owners

of both homes believed they were in the city limits and have been paying

city taxes, officials said. But in reality the parcels do not appear on

the city's maps since they are located in the county.

City officials

could not locate any records indicating the properties had been annexed.

Although the

commission approved the annexation requests, the matter must ultimately

be approved by the City Council.

Both parcels

of land combine for less than 2 acres in size. The home at 153 New Hope

Road is owned by Elizabeth Landrum and is .84 acres. The home at 169 New

Hope Road is on 1.01 acres and is owned by Jan Trammell.

Both properties

will remain residentially zoned under the recommendation from city staff.
