Two annexation applications were officially accepted by the Locust Grove City Council during its Dec. 2 regular meeting.

The tracts in question are adjoining pieces of property, about 24 acres each, on the east side of Davis Lake Road just south of Colvin Road. Both properties currently have an RA (residential-agricultural) zoning in the county and will remain that way if annexed into the city. In an unrelated action, the council also approved a conditional use for an attached guest quarters on a three-acre residential site at 106 Grove Road. City code allows this use if it is only one unit per lot and that unit is in the rear yard.

The lot must meet minimum area requirements for a two-family dwelling and cannot be used as rental property.
