White Street (FM 455), Anna, Texas, to consider the following items. 1. Call to order and establishment of quorum. The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. Members John Rattan, Jon Hendricks, David Crim, Bethany Jablonski, Billy Demgon and Keith Green were present. Commission member Duane Hayes was absent. 2. Consider action on recommendation regarding site plan for the Van Anna Addition. Sandra Bryant, 404A N. Powell Pkwy, Anna, TX representing the owners of Van Anna Addition, reviewed the site plan for Van Anna Addition. Ms. Bryant noted the site plan submitted a few weeks ago was being presented again with the requested changes (per comments of Maurice Schwanke and Company) added to site plan. Ms. Bryant noted that the property is located at CR 373 and N. Powell Parkway/SH 5. The proposed 7,500 sq. ft. building location will be in the middle of 3.5 acres with the remaining area to be reserved for future development. Chairman Rattan expressed concerns about the condition of and future development of CR 373/Mantua Road and asked if there was an agreement regarding the development of the road. Lee Lawrence, City Manager, stated that the proposal being made by the property owner was to asphalt the road a distance of 535 ft., to the west edge of platted area. Mr. Lawrence suggested that a reasonable resolution of the issue might be to have a development agreement with the owner that would go with the property, including provisions that when the remainder of Mantua Road is improved to meet City standards that the property owner then pay the proportionate share of the road development cost, based on the front footage along CR 373/Mantua Road and to include in the agreement provisions that would allow a lien on the property if the road cost was not paid. Mr. Lawrence stated that the only other legal option was to require that the property owner prepare a traffic engineering study to identify the share of the traffic on the road that the proposed development would generate and then allocate a road cost based on that proportion of traffic volume. Motion was made by Billy Deragon, seconded by Bethany Jablonski, to recommend approval of the site plan as presented, with the following revisions: 09-20-05 Minutes Page 1 of 4 a) 7 fl sidewalk in front b) Development agreement for CR 373/Mantua Road per Lawrence comments C) 20 ft. depth for west side parking spaces d) Water easements should be on plat e) Access easements to adjacent properties should be on plat (across frontage) 5 aye 1 nay (David Crim) 0 abstained 3.

The reason for the recommended annexation is that these are corridor areas that have high value to the city and are highly visible entries to the city. The only effective to way to promote development in these corridor areas that has long term benefit to the city is to annex and zone these areas in conformity with the City's Land Use Plan.
