The area is largely open with grasser and a few trees scattered throughout the property. The City received a request to annex the middle property (WCTM 2S1 109D lot 1400) in order to partition it into three parcels and serve each with sanitary sewer. Annexing this single parcel would create a remainder of two single parcel islands and further complicate an already irregular boundary.
