City weighs annexing 420 acres south and west of town
City Commission plans to submit a petition for annexation of about 420 acres south and west of the city to the county for public hearing. The plan includes a 30 foot strip south of West Twenty Third Street and 200 feet west of Highway 59 to buffer future development. The proposed area includes the 16 acre high school site near 19th and La Streets and a 160 acre KU tract, forming an L shape at the southwest corner. Some adjacent tracts could join even if the county rejects the whole proposal due to three sided city limits. A legal technicality could trigger automatic annexation in such triple bounded areas.
