County objects to Tyrone's latest annexation efforts

It looks like

its going to be another messy annexation struggle between Fayette County

and one of its municipal governments.

The Fayette

County Commission reacted angrily last week when it heard about an annexation

request from Tyrone.

Tyrone sent

the county a request to annex 10.8 acres off Trickum Creek Road, but...

"Once

again, they sent us no development plan or proposed use," said county

zoning director Kathy Zeitler.

Zeitler said

Tyrone had recently requested and received annexation approval for property

just north of the current request.

Once the property

was in Tyrone, she said, the town created a special zoning category to

allow it to be part of John Wieland's PUD. After the property was zoned

into the new category, she said Tyrone eliminated the category.

"If they're

not going to the trouble of providing us information, my intention is

to assume the worse," said Commissioner Peter Pfeifer.

Commission

Chairman Greg Dunn agreed and said it would be fine, if the town kept

the same land use as the county.

The commission

agreed to object to the annexation until further information was provided

from Tyrone.
