GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
1989 SESSION

CHAPTER 59
HOUSE BILL 307

AN ACT TO PLACE A MORATORIUM ON ANNEXATIONS BY THE TOWN OF SEVEN DEVILS WITHIN WATAUGA COUNTY.

Whereas, the Town of Seven Devils has been annexing areas within the rural Foscoe community of Watauga County; and
Whereas, the residents of the area are seeking incorporation of the area; and
Whereas, the General Assembly, as well as the Town of Seven Devils, needs additional time to examine the implications of annexation or incorporation, by affording the residents of the Foscoe community an opportunity to submit a petition to the Joint Legislative Commission on Municipal Incorporation for review and a recommendation to the 1990 Session, if possible; Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  Between the date of ratification of this act and July 1, 1991, the Town of Seven Devils may not adopt any annexation ordinance, resolution of intent, or resolution of consideration, under Article 4A of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes as to any territory within Watauga County.
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 17th day of April, 1989.
