The City of Savannah received an annexation petition for a parcel with an aggregate of 9.837 acres located on East President Street near Woodcock Road. The parcel is currently undeveloped and is owned by Mariner Brand Deptford, LLC. The subject property will be the location of the Ellis Apartments. The land under petition is contiguous to existing City territory and therefore can be annexed by ordinance adopted by City Council. As required by state law the County has been informed of receipt of this petition.

Annexation is being sought by the owner to gain access to the municipal utilities provided by the City. The owner desires to gain access to these services on in-city terms. The cost of providing water and sewer service to the parcel will be fully covered by connection fees and service fees levied by the City for providing service.

No action is required at this time other than acknowledgment of petition receipt. Consideration of ordinances to annex the territory and to designate City zoning for the territory will be placed on a future agenda. (A map is attached.)
