Wendell Fixes Annexation Problems

Annexation is a process bywhichmunicipalitiesincorpo-rate more land. This processcan be very complicated andmistakes are often made, es-peciallybycitiesthathavenotdone this before or have notdonesoforalongtime. Case in point, the City ofWendell annexed severalparcelsofgroundabouteightyears ago. After an over-whelming negative responseby landowners, the city thenwentthroughade-annexationprocess (2006). This left thecity with some oddly shapedbordersonthesoutheastcor-neroftown. Thethreemainreasons for

theannexationwere:one, todeal with highway district is-sues; two, to expand the cityintoareasneedingcityservic-es;andthree,tobringareasofpotentialgrowthintothecity.Thislastreasoniswhatupsetmostpeoplebecauseitinclud-edlandwhichownersdidnotwantinthecity. As with many decision ourelected officials make, therewere political miscalculationsonthepartofsome,whichlefthardfeelingsandsuspicionto-wards the city government.Therewas,however,abiggermistake. Whenlandisannexedintoa city, the primary issue that

must be dealt with is zoning.Because the property is nowunder city jurisdiction, anyzoning the county may havehad on this land is null andvoid. Therefore, if a residen-tialorindustrialprojectisbe-ingannexed,thatlandmustbezonedappropriatelyaspartoftheannexationprocess.Evenifthelandinquestionhasnotbeen developed, city zoningmust be applied. Otherwise,there are no restrictions onwhatalandownercanbuildordoonhisproperty. This is exactly what hap-pened(ordidnothappen)intheWendellannexation–no
