A familiar item on the Decatur City Commission meeting agenda this evening…annexation!

The commission is slated to take a vote on the petition of property owners along South Columbia and Derrydown Way – just south of the city limits – to have 31 properties of approximately 10 acres annexed into the city of Decatur.  According to the application, all lots are single-family residential.

Though a long, ongoing conversation, of late the annexation requests by groups of neighboring property owners have seemed to pick up steam.  Back in April, the entire Parkwood neighborhood west of the city was annexed by request into the City of Decatur.  Smaller annexation requests have been a semi-regular item on the commission’s agenda for the past year or so.

Trish found this dog wandering down Derrydown Way between Columbia and College this morning.  She adds “She very sweet and submissive, but was terrified; I don’t think she’s been loose much before because she kept trying to get in everyone’s fence.”
