Map and listing of area's approved by judge to be Annexed by Olive Branch
The City of Olive Branch can go ahead with its annexation plans, just not to the level it had originally wanted to do so.
That is what Chancery Court Judge Percy Lynchard Jr. has ruled in his opinion issued Monday, April 5.
The area to the East of Olive Branch that the city wanted annexed can go ahead, while the area to the south was limited.
Here is the legal descriptions of the areas that can be annexed, according to Lynchard.
Beginning at the intersection of the current municipal boundary and the
western right of way of State Highway 305, along said western right of
way south to the northern right of way of that certain electrical
transmission line crossing said highway; then along the northern right of
way boundary of said electrical transmission line until such time as it
connects with the city limits of the City of Southaven along Malone Road;
b. That certain portion of Section 19 and 30, Township 2 South and Range 6
West lying west of Camp Creek;
c. The East half of Section 25, Township 2 South, Range 6 West;
d. That portion of Section 24, Township 2 South, Range 6 West lying and
being situated in the Olive Branch Municipal Fire District.
