A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ALLOW CORRECTION OF AN ERROR IN A 1921 SURVEY OF AN ANNEXATION TO THE TOWN OF SPRUCE PINE.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. (a) The corporate limits of the Town of Spruce Pine are reduced by excluding any parcels which had not been billed for ad valorem taxes in 1997 which were billed in 1998, as a result of a new survey discovering that these parcels were in the area annexed by Chapter 27, Private Laws of 1921.
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, the owners of any of such parcels may make written request to the Clerk of the Town of Spruce Pine that their parcel remain in the corporate limits.  Said request must be made no later than 15 February 1999.  Upon receipt of such request or requests the Town of Spruce Pine may by ordinance provide for all or part of those parcels (and any streets, roads and rights-of-way used by those parcels for access) to be and remain within the corporate limits of the Town of Spruce Pine.  Upon the adoption of said ordinance those parcels included within the Ordinance together with the streets, roads and rights-of-way included therein shall be included within the corporate limits of the Town of Spruce Pine.  Any such Ordinance shall be adopted on or before June 30, 1999.
Section 2.  This act becomes effective February 11, 1921, except that the areas covered by ordinance adopted under Section 1(b) of this act shall be considered to have been in the corporate limits only from and after June 30, 1999.
