News
HDB MARINE (HARRISON DOCK BUILDERS)
HAS BEEN ANNEXED TO THE CITY OF HARRISON!
The City Council approved the annexation and rezone of about 100 acres of land owned by Keith Shannon with the condition
that the Development Agreement associated with the annexation be amended in accordance with changes made by the council during
their meeting on December 8th. The annexation has been in process for a long time beginning several years ago with a text
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan allowing for a Heavy Manufacturing zone. That was followed by an addition to the Zoning
Ordinance to add the Heavy Manufacturing Zone.
Keith has plans to add a new business, Shannon Towing & Salvage, adjacent to his current
dock building enterprise. The purpose will be to salvage debris from the lake.
Keith also shared his vision of what could be done with three other parcels that were annexed
and zoned Mixed Use. Some of the uses Keith identified include a float home community, automated dry dock boat storage, eco-friendly
conference center with camping facilities and a tropical themed beach recreation facility. All uses in the Mixed Use zone
require a special use permit which calls for a public hearing at Planning & Zoning followed by council approval and possibly
a second hearing. The only permitted use in the Mixed Use zone is residential housing which also requires a site diturbance
permit and building permit.
