Annexation plans move forward in Myersville
Myersville planning and zoning commission recommends town council approve two annexation proposals. One covers 52 acres for a planned housing development off Church Hill Road with town sewer use and a required public works agreement. The second annexation covers nine acres near I-70 by the Sunoco station, jointly owned by the State Highway Administration Sun Oil Company and A K partnership, with a right of way for a possible western loop road and a water supply solution required before any development. Public hearings set for Aug 28. zoning certificate review to shift from town to county, preserving subdivision and rezoning oversight by the town. McDonald’s Cory parking lot expansion deferred.
