Code Enforcement officers have observed the family on many occasions caring
for their yard. Their hard work has resulted in a beautifully landscaped home that
is a great addition to the Anna Community.
February's property of the month was Bronco-MFG, located on FM455. We have
observed that the property is maintained to a high standard, that litter is always
removed, and that they have added their own unique flair by styling their hedges
in the name of the company. The Bronco-MFG, Inc., is a Veteran Owned
Business that has been a part of the Anna Community for many years.
A downtown property was selected for the March property of the month.

f. Approve a Resolution approving athree-year contract with Grayson County
Electric Cooperative (GCEC) for fiber and telephone services and authorizing the
City Manager to execute the contract. (IT Director Kevin Johnson)
The City of Anna agreed to a 10-year contract with GCEC in December of 2020
for fiber and telephone services. As part of the agreement, GCEC agreed to
construct fiber lines to the new City Hall and incorporated those costs into the 10-
year term of the contract. In June 2021, the City engaged a consultant to assist
the City with a review of telephone costs and develop a Request for Proposal for
a new telephone system for the new City Hall. The consultant's review of the
GCEC contract revealed a number of items that were not advantageous to the
City. The consultant recommended that the City renegotiate the contract with
GCEC from a 10-year term to a 3-year term. GCEC has agreed to renegotiate the
contract.
The shorter term will allow the City to take advantage of specific advancements
that will save the City considerable money over time. These items include:
1) competition from new providers that are starting to build infrastructure in Anna
due to our growth; 2) changes in technology that will make some of our current
technology obsolete, such as the current PRI lines, and the deployment of 5G
technology, which will become a standard; and 3) the City will not be locked into
using a GCEC telephone system and will be able to take advantage of other
available telephone systems and technology.
Based on the change from a 10-year term to a 3-year term, the consultant
estimates the City will save l37,850.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: $84,735 per year for three years. Pays for the construction
costs of the fiber and three years of service for all City facilities. Funding is
budgeted in the IT operating budget.

g. Approve a Resolution setting a public hearing under Section 372.009 of the
Texas Local Government Code on the advisability of the creation of a public
improvement district and improvements within the City of Anna, Texas, for the
Crystal Park Development and authorizing the issuance of notice by the
City Secretary of Anna, Texas, regarding the public hearing. (Director of
Economic Development Joey Grisham)
In accordance with the Crystal Park Development Agreement, the developer has
submitted a petition to the City to create the Crystal Park (PID). The petition is
attached to the Resolution as Exhibit A. Before the City Council can create the
PID, it must hold a public hearing after 15 days' publication notice. The form of
the notice is attached to the resolution as Exhibit B. This Resolution does not
create the PID; it only accepts the developer's petition and provides for
scheduling of the public hearing and publishing of the notice. The Resolution sets
the public hearing for April 12, 2022. After the hearing, the City Council will
consider a separate resolution creating the PID.

Retail, LP, to establish development and design regulations for residential
development on 15.4± acres located on the east and west sides of Throckmorton
Boulevard, 370± feet south of W. White Street (FM 455).
The intent of the Development Agreement is to ensure the use of high quality,
durable materials for nonresidential and residential development within the City to
create well -designed and attractive architecture.
Approving the Development Agreement in no way puts an obligation on the
City Council to approve the rezoning request. It only puts in place development
and design regulations should the decision be made to approve the rezoning
request.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS APPROVING A
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH ANNA 31 RETAIL, LP, RELATING TO
DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN REGULATIONS FOR MULTIPLE -FAMILY
RESIDENCE DEVELOPMENT GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE EAST AND
WEST SIDE OF THROCKMORTON BOULEVARD, 370± FEET SOUTH OF W.
WHITE STREET (FM 455).
Approve a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Anna, Texas, finding that a
public necessity exists for acquisition of a permanent sanitary sewer line
easement providing limited rights on and under 0.667 acres of real property,
more or less, and a temporary construction easement providing temporary limited
rights on and under 0.85 acres of real property, more or less; authorizing the City
Manager, staff, contractors, and the city's attorneys to acquire said easements by
any lawful means, including but not limited to negotiations, and, if necessary,
proceedings in eminent domain; providing an effective date. (Director of Public
Works Greg Peters, P.E.)
The City of Anna entered into a Development Agreement with D.R. Horton in
2021 for the construction of the public roadway, water, and sanitary sewer
systems associated with the Woods at Lindsey Place development located near
Rosamond Parkway and US 75.
There is a tract of land owned by Two-J Partners on County Road 370, just east
of Throckmorton, which is essential to the extension of the Throckmorton Creek
Sanitary Sewer Extension. A sanitary sewer easement along the south and
southeast edge of the Two-J property is needed for the extension of the trunk
sewer.
This trunk sewer will provide sewer service for three large residential
developments, including the Woods at Lindsey Place, AnaCapri, and
Meadow Vista subdivisions. In addition, the sewer extension will provide sewer
service for the Two-J property as well. The project is key to the development of
the north central portion of the City.
D.R. Horton's contractor is moving forward with the utility construction, requiring
the City to acquire the remaining right-of-way needed for the project.
Initially, the City had great difficulty making contact with Two-J Partners, whose
owners appear to reside out of state. In February, the City was notified that the
owner of Two-J Partners had passed away, and that the property was being
passed on to the children of the owner. At this time, the City was able to locate
the family's attorney and begin coordination.
City staff provided the attorney with the engineering plans, the City of 'Anna
Wastewater Master Plans, information on future land use, and copies of the
proposed easement. At the request of the attorney, staff also provided a
will -serve letter demonstrating that the City will provide utility access for the
property.
Over the past month the City has been in touch with the attorney. Negotiations to
date have been cordial and positive, but the new owners are not familiar with land
development, and thus may not understand the urgency of the matter. At the
suggestion of their attorney, the City is prepared to move forward with
condemnation proceedings if necessary to keep the project moving forward.
All purchase of real property requires approval by the City Council.
Staff will continue to work to reach a reasonable negotiated settlement with the
new owners and acquire the easement. However, we want to make sure that the
City Council has granted staff all options available, including condemnation.
If approved, this item will authorize the City to negotiate with the trust for the
purchase of the necessary sewer easement based on the appraised value of the
property and in accordance with State law.

Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution regarding the Anna Retail Addition,
Block Al Lots 3R3 63 7, 81 9 and Block B, Lot 1, Concept Plan.
The applicant is proposing multiple -family zoning and design standards that
would allow for a development layout that would support three- and four-story
buildings with, one-, two-, and three -bedroom units.
A Planned Development (PD) district is intended to provide for combining and
mixing of uses allowed in various districts with appropriate regulations and to
permit flexibility in the use and design of land and buildings in situations where
modification of specific provisions of this article is not contrary to its intent and
purpose or significantly inconsistent with the planning on which it is based and
will not be harmful to the community. A PD district may be used to permit new
and innovative concepts in land utilization. While great flexibility is given to
provide special restrictions which will allow development not otherwise permitted,
procedures are established herein to insure against misuse of the increased
flexibility.
A concept plan, Anna Retail, Block A, Lots 6R, 71 83 9 and Block B, Lot 1,
accompanies this request.
Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning
North -Retail and restaurant lot and vacant land zoned C-2 General Commercial
East - Common area lot zoned C-2 General Commercial
South - Vacant land zoned Planned Development-C-1 Restricted Commercial
West - Restaurant and vacant land zoned C-2 General Commercial
Proposed Planned Development Stipulations
The requested zoning is PD-MF-2. This Planned Development is to allow for a
high -density, multiple -family residence.
Maximum height - The MF-2 base zoning only allows for two-story apartments
with a maximum height of 45 feet.
❑ The applicant is proposing both 3 and 4-story building designs that will have a
maximum height of 60 feet.
Parking -Sec. 9.04.037 (Parking space regulations) of the Zoning Ordinance
require a minimum of 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit for multiple -family
dwellings, plus 0.25 spaces per dwelling unit for visitor parking. Additionally, 75%
of the required parking is required to be covered.
❑ The applicant is proposing to reduce the required parking for studio and
onebedroom units from two (2) spaces per unit to one and a half (1.5) spaces per
unit.
❑ The applicant is requesting to reduce the required covered parking 75% to
50%.
Screening fence - The MF-2 zoning requires border fencing of masonry
construction no less than eight feet in height be installed along the property line
on any perimeter not abutting a public street -right-of-way.
❑ The applicant is requesting to install asix-foot-high ornamental metal fence
with masonry columns and landscaping. ❑The applicant is proposing to allow the
required screening within the front yard setback along Throckmorton Boulevard
and to set back the screening and fencing from the northern property line to
create a walkable environment along the access easement.
Open Space —The applicant is requesting to count regional detention towards
overall open space provided. The regional detention lot (Anna Retail, Block B, Lot
1) is identified as a location for a Hike/Bike trail on the Parks Master Plan.

trash chute for buildings exceeding 24 units. The buildings with 24 or less units
will be serviced by refuse facilities per the Zoning Ordinance.
The Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Community Commercial

freestanding buildings containing one or more businesses. Unlike larger shopping
centers that may attract regional customers, Community Commercial
developments primarily provide services for residents of surrounding
neighborhoods. Business types may include restaurants, local retail, medical
offices, banks and other retail and services.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the zoning
request.

e. Consider/Discuss/Action regarding approval of a Resolution authorizing a
professional services agreement for professional services with Freese and
Nichols, Inc., for the updating of the City of Anna Planning and Development
Regulations. (Director of Development Services Ross Altobelli).
Within the newly adopted Anna 2050 Comprehensive Plan, one of the
recommended steps to achieve the land use vision desired by Anna neighbors
was to rewrite the City's development -related ordinances to align them with the
vision expressed within the Comprehensive Plan and to accommodate the Future
Land Use Plan. Additionally, the Plan called to establish policies to guide the
appropriate mix, intensity, and design of mixed -use projects to help City staff
evaluate the implications of these types of development proposals, as well as to
create standards and regulations for Downtown to ensure high -quality
development.
This effort will align codes with the goals and recommendations of newly adopted
Comprehensive Plans, modernize and simplify regulations, provide greater
clarity, address possible deficiencies, improve staff efficiency, and be more user-
friendly.
On September 1, 2021, the City of Anna issued a Request for Proposal to be

h. Consider/Discuss/Action on approval of a Resolution authorizing the
City Manager to execute a contract with Blue Star Utilities, LLC, for the
construction of the Hurricane Creek Line "B" Sanitary Sewer project. (Director of
Public Works Greg Peters, P.E.)
In 2018, the City of Anna began work on plans for providing sanitary sewer
service on the west side of US 75. A sanitary sewer collection system west of US
75 is required for the development and growth of the community on this large
area, where multiple master planned developments are planned to be
constructed.
This project, known as the Hurricane Creek Line "B" trunk sewer, will provide
gravity sewer from FM 455 all the way to the proposed wastewater treatment
plant located at the southwest edge of Anna's ETJ. The project is critical to
providing gravity sewer to the Hurricane Creek master planned development,
along with multiple large tracts of land which are already planned for
development.
The design engineer, Birkhoff, Hendricks, and Carter, LLC, completed the
engineering design and bid the project earlier this year. Bids were opened at
2:00pm on Thursday, March 10th. Seven bids were received. The lowest qualified
bid was received from Blue Star Utilities, LLC.
Staff is recommending approval of the Resolution authorizing the City Manager to
execute contracts with Blue Star Utilities, LLC, to construct the project. Once
contracts are executed, staff will work with the contractor to prepare a detailed
project schedule which will be made available on the City of Anna website.
The total estimated cost is $5,286,622.00. The low bid was received from

i. Consider approval of a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
Purchase Order to Wopac Construction, Incorporated, for the rehabilitation of
North James Street in the City of Anna, Texas. (Director of Public Works Greg
Peters, P.E.)
North James Street from 5th Street to Hackberry Lane is identified as a capital
roadway maintenance project in the City of Anna, Texas. The existing street is
comprised of an asphalt pavement in poor condition, and thus requires full depth
rehabilitation.
North James Street will be re -constructed using Street Maintenance Tax Funds.
Since this street was originally constructed as an asphalt road, staff is
recommending that the rehabilitation be done with full depth asphalt replacement,
including improvements to the road base to address failures in the subgrade.
The City is seeking to utilize the unit price agreement in the contract Collin
County currently has with Wopac Construction, Incorporated, as it represents the
best value for the City. If approved, the project will be completed in late
spring/early summer of this year.
The total budget is estimated at $150,000, which includes the base quote of
$133,347.54 and $16,652.46 in contingency funds. Funding for the project will
come from Street Maintenance Tax Funds.
