HomeMy WebLinkAboutIR 9353The February 8 and February 15 City Council agendas will include public hearings on the
proposed service plan for annexation area 15-2 in the Far North sector. Area 15-2 encompasses
approximately 80 acres including three preliminary plats for single family development, with
construction nearing completion at this time.
This area was initially identified in the 2007-2011 annexation program for potential annexation in
2010 as part of a larger area and was anticipated to contain more than 100 dwellings by 2010.
The City was thus required to include them in the state-mandated annexation plan in 2007, in
accordance with Section 43.052 of the Texas Local Government Code. Staff met with the
affected property owners in 2007 and 2009 to inform them of the annexation process. On March
10, 2009, the City Council approved a resolution which removed this area from the annexation
plan. With the property owners' agreement, the resolution noted that the approximately 80 acres
could be included in the annexation plan in 2010 to allow consideration of annexation in 2013.
After the mandatory 12-month waiting period, the City Council approved a new resolution re-
instating area 15-2 into the City's three-year annexation plan on July 13, 2010.
State law requires a draft service plan to be prepared in cooperation with other service providers
and for this draft service plan to be reviewed at two public hearings. The public hearings are
required to be held within three months after the service inventory was available for review in
December 2010. The next steps in the annexation process are to negotiate with the future
residents, if necessary, regarding elements of the service plan over the next six months, followed
by certification of the service plan by the City Council.
