Title

To alter, rearrange, and extend the boundary lines and corporate limits in the City of Loxley in Baldwin County.

Summary

HB493 expands the City of Loxley by annexing five specified parcels and their utility easements into the city limits.

What This Bill Does

HB493 changes the boundary lines to include Plantation Hills Water Tank Site (2.20 acres), Well 3 Site (1.033 acres), Well Site 4 (1.033 acres), Hardee's Water Tank Annexation (0.30 acre), and a Vacant Utilities Site east of Hardee's Tank (0.30 acre). The parcels are described with Parcel IDs and boundary descriptions, and the act makes these properties part of Loxley with city governance and services applied. A 30-foot utility easement is included for several of the annexed tracts. The action becomes effective on the first day of the third month after the Governor approves the bill, and a map showing the proposed annexation is on file for public inspection.
