The Alexandria City Council is being petitioned to annex a tract adjacent to St. Andrews Estates on Coliseum Boulevard.

An ordinance annexing the almost 27 acres is scheduled for introduction at this afternoon’s Council meeting.

The petition consists of two tracts — 6.71 acres fronting Coliseum Boulevard, 1,600 feet by 963 feet requesting general commercial zoning designation, and 20.02 acres stretching east-west and bordered on the north by St. Andrew’s pond, single family residential zoning.

Monceaux, Buller & Associates is making the request; property is owned by Weilland Enterprises.

The St. Andrews development is adjacent to The Links on the Bayou Golf Course.
