Synopsis of the Court: Protect Rural JoCo LLC (and others) appeal the district court’s dismissal of their petition challenging two annexation ordinances passed by the City of Edgerton. The individual appellants own properties around but not within the annexed area. They allege that the City violated K.S.A. 12-520(g), which precludes cities from annexing a narrow corridor of land to enhance future annexations of land. But the City successfully moved to dismiss Appellants’ claim for lack of statutory standing. Finding no error, we affirm.
