Savannah to annex nearly 900 acres in West Chatham County

[Airforceguy]

Savannah is on an annexation spree..This time its 504 acres located on the east side of I-95 in the vicinity of Little Neck Rd.

The City received two annexation petitions for three parcels with an aggregate of 504.8 acres located on the east side of Interstate 95 in the vicinity of Little Neck Road. The properties are currently owned by Brenda Sue Christian, Alice Keller and the A&B Hopeton Trust. The land under petition is contiguous to existing City territory, and therefore can be annexed by ordinance adopted by City Council. As required by State law, the County has been informed of receipt of this petition.

The land is currently undeveloped and annexation is being sought by the owner to gain access to the municipal utilities provided by the City. The owner desires to gain access to these services on in-city terms. The cost of providing water and sewer service will be fully covered by connection fees and service fees charged to benefiting parcels in the area parcel.

No action is required at this time other than acknowledgment of petition receipt. Consideration of ordinances to annex the territory and to designate City zoning for the territory will be placed on a future agenda.
