To clear up

the ambiguity created by old records, two small residential parcels on

New Hope Road may be officially annexed into Fayetteville.

The homes,

located at 153 and 169 New Hope Rd., total less than two acres. They are

on the city's zoning map but there have been no records of the properties

being annexed, according to city staff.

Although Fayette

County's zoning records indicate the parcels are in the county, the county

tax assessor's office shows the properties as being in the city limits.

City taxes have also been paid for those parcels, officials said.

The annexation

proposals must be considered by the city's Planning and Zoning Commission

before they may be considered by the City Council. The commission will

likely discuss the issue at its regular meeting Tuesday, July 22.

The house at

153 New Hope Road is owned by Elizabeth Landrum and is for sale. The site

is .84 acres and would remain zoned for single family residential under

the recommendation from city staff.

The home at

169 New Hope Road is owned by Jan Trammell and currently occupied by renters,

city staff said. The 1.01-acre site would also remain zoned for single

family residential under the recommendation from city staff.
