Brenham City Manager Terry Roberts says the City Council is finishing up work on the annexation of some 400 acres of land adjacent to the western city limits of Brenham.

The Council will have a joint meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission Thursday afternoon at city hall for a public hearing on the annexations. In the previous hearing, some property owners in the area expressed concerns about the extension of city services and restrictions on livestock.

Roberts says this was expected but extending city services is not a problem because all of the land is adjacent to the city limits.

Brenham City Manager Terry Roberts says work is wrapping up on annexation.

The city is looking at annexing 281 acres along Burleson Street, with tracts with frontage along highway 36 north and Dixie Street and adjacent to Westwood Lane. They are also annexing 30.5 acres on the western right of way of highway 36 beginning at the current city limits and in a southerly direction. The other tracts are 45.3 acres between South Blue Bell Road and Tiaden Lane nd 46. 4 acres on tracts located between FM 389 and Industrial Boulevard.

After the hearing the City Council is expected to annex the properties on its first reading.
