September 20, 2005, a1 7:00 p.m., at the Community Room of the Texas Star Bank, located at
402 W. White Street (FM 455), Anna, Texas, to consider the following items.

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:

Consider/Discuss/Act on recommendation regarding involuntary annexation of
territory.
Mr. Lawrence advised the Commission that the staff was recommending to the City
Council that significant areas along Central Expressway, W. White Street, North and
South Powell Parkway, and State Highway 121 be annexed. 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. He noted that the
recommendation was to avoid annexation of developed areas as much as possible,
although annexation of isolated improved property might be required in some situations
because of state law requirements.
