Jul 16, 2021 Burnside Mayor Robert Lawson DONNIE BRAKE Those with an interest in all things annexation could have been in for an interesting July meeting of the Burnside City Council. Instead, all was quiet on the southern front. Perhaps the biggest piece of movement Burnside has been considering is annexation south on U.S. 27Â about three miles past the Burnside border down to âjust pastâ Keno Road. The idea is to allow more room for future growth for the âonly town on Lake Cumberland.â Any properties annexed in would do so voluntarily, by the property ownerâs request. Burnside Mayor Robert Lawson noted that the land has been surveyed and the intent to annex has gone through the process of being posted for 60 days with no objection. Instead of taking a vote on it at the July meeting to make it official, however, the council decided theyâd be ready to vote in August.
