EXHIBIT "A" - Page 3 ,MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Dan Savage, City Manager SUBJECT: Annexation Service Plan DATE: March 18, 1982 IBM has approximately 236 acres of land south of the City limits of The Colony which were disannexed from the Town of Hebron on March 1, 1982. IBM requested this disannexation so that the land could be annexed into the City of The Colony. The land to be annexed also includes a 1.9 acre tract which includes a portion of the SH 121 right of way and a triangular portion of the IBM property north of the SH 121 right of way. In order to annex this property, the City must prepare a service plan. The property to be annexed is currently used for agricultural purposes and Robert H. Thomas, the attorney representing IBM locally, has advised me that IBM will not ask for industrial zoning on this property in the near future. At present, only one residence is located on this property. Because of the agricultural use of the area to be annexed, it will be relatively easy for the City to provide municipal services to the area. The following services will be provided upon annexation: 1. Fire Protection: The area is presently served under the City's contract with Denton County. Under this agreement, thc City's Class A pumpers do not normally respond to fires in this area. Once the property is annexed, the City would use any needed equipment to fight fires in this area. 2. Police Protection: Once the area is annexed, the City will provide regular police patrol of the area. Thc. City will also carry out normal police investigations. 3. Sanitation: Under thc City's sanitation ordinance, all residents must receive sanitation service. The City's sanitation franchise holder will be required to provide sanitation service under the terms of the contract, once the area is annexed. 4. Maintenance of Roads and Streets: Presently, Denton County maintains the roads in the property to be annexed. The asphalt portion of the road can be patched with hot or cold mix as needed by City crews. The gravel portion of the road will have to be bladed regularly. The City will work with Denton County to keep this road maintained in the same condition as the County now maintains it. 5. Maintenance of Parks, Playgrounds, Swimming Pools, and Other Public Facilities: The C~ty of The Colony does not prov~cle water or wastewater services to its citizens. .Thc Colony Municipal Utility District provides these services. The land in 'question is beyond the current boundary of the M.U.D. Annexa~ion Service Plan -2~ ~, ', March 18, 1982 This service plan will provide the property owner with services at least as good as those currently provided and with services which are typically provided in agriculturally zoned areas in the City.
