6. Briefing/Discussion regarding the Parks, Planning, and Streets FY 2019
Budgets (Dana Thornhill)
7. A) Conduct a public hearing to consider public comments regarding a
request by Skorburg Company, owner(s) of the property. The property is
currently zoned Planned Development Ordinance 129-2004 as amended by
Ordinance number 627-2013 which allows commercial, multifamily and
single family on the subject tract. The owner requests to add to the Planned
Development the right for Patio Homes (smaller lots) on a specific tract
(Exhibit A). The property is located east of Finley Blvd and north of Sharp
Street.
B) Consider/Discuss/Action on a regarding a request by the owner(s) of the
property to add to the Planned Development Ordinance 129-2004 as amended
by Ordinance number 627-2013 the right for patio homes on small lots on a
specific tract (Exhibit A).
The property being proposed for the Patio Home concept is within District F and
District H of Planned Development Ordinance Number 129-2004 of the Anna Town
Square Development. These districts allow a wide range of uses from Commercial
to Multifamily to Single Family at 3.5 units per acre. The proposed use is a single-
family structure on a small lot in some cases in a unique set up. There are two
basic setups which would include the following:
1. Units on 40' wide lots with front entry attached garages.
2. Units on 40' wide lots with front entry detached garages.
These units will normally serve two segments of the population. These group are
single/couple first-time house buyers or empty nesters that are downsizing.
Because of the narrowness of the lots, wider streets are provided to allow for easier
traversing of the streets when parking occurs on both sides.
These lots will also address one of the Strategic Plan Goals of the City which is to
Diversify Housing & Neighborhood Options.
A similar development was proposed on this property with a potential alley product.
No alley product is proposed for this development. Additionally, even though it is
not specifically mentioned in the Planned Development a two -car garage is required
on each lot.
Mayor Pike opened the public hearing at 7:52 p.m.
Danny Ussery, 1813 Sadle spoke in opposition.
William Morgan, 2029 Helmoken Falls Dr, spoke in opposition.
Developer John Arnold gave an overview of the proposed product.
Mayor Pike closed the public hearing at 8:15 p.m.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS AMENDING THE CITY'S

CHANGING THE ZONING OF CERTAIN PROPERTY AS DESCRIBED
HEREIN; PROVIDING FOR SAVINGS, REPEALING AND SEVERABILITY
CLAUSES; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; PROVIDING FOR A
PENALTY CLAUSE NOT TO EXCEED $2000 OR THE HIGHEST PENALTY
AMOUNT ALLOWED BY LAW, WHICHEVER IS LESS; AND, PROVIDING

MOTION: Council Member Miller moved to approve subject to striking "detached
garage", and change "patio homes" to read "single family" throughout. Council
Member Beazley seconded. Motion carried 5-2. Tutson and Bryan opposed.
8. Consider/Discuss/Action regarding an Ordinance adjusting the roadway
impact fees for Service Area 1 and Service Area 2. (Joseph Johnson)
Impact Fees are authorized under Texas Local Government Code (TLGC),
Chapter 395. An impact fee is imposed on new developments to offset the impact
to existing and proposed infrastructure.
In 2014, after an extensive Roadway Impact Fee Study, Council adopted roadway
impact fees for Service Areas 1 & 2. At that time, the fees for both service areas
were set at $333.34 per service unit equivalent (SUE). Per the study, the maximum
allowable fee that can be set is $702/SUE for Service Area 1 and $616.50/SUE for
Service Area 2. If, for example, the fee was increased to $600/SUE for each
service area, then the amount collected for impact fee eligible projects would nearly
double.
City Council may set the fee at any level up to the maximum allowable fee.
Motion: Council Member Burr moved to approve the maximum fee for each service
area. Council Member Beazley seconded. Motion carried 7-0.
9. Consider/Discuss/Action approving a Resolution authorizing an Agreement
with Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC for Street Lighting Service.
(Joseph Johnson)
Oncor Electric Delivery is providing street lighting service within the City in
accordance with the Tariff for Retail Delivery Service. The tariff has recently been
amended as approved by the Texas Public Utility Commission, and the new
provisions have recently gone into effect. The new provisions include rates for the
provision of LED street lighting, which is anticipated to eventually replace the use of
conventional lighting. The City is not committing under this agreement to replace
any existing lights or order any new lights. Rather, this agreement sets the rates for
such charges should the City order replacements or new lights going forward. For
additional discussion regarding these considerations, see the attached Lloyd
Gosselink memorandum from the firm representing Texas cities including Anna
under its membership in the Steering Committee of Cities Served by Oncor.
According to information provided by Oncor, the City currently has 229 street lights
under contract with Oncor and this number will increase with new development
served by Oncor. The proposed agreement is standard practice for all
municipalities operating through Oncor Electric Delivery for installation,
maintenance and repair of street lights. The agreement details how requests for the
addition or removal of street lights will be addressed. No additional street lights can
be added without execution of this formal agreement.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANNA
APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT FOR STREET
LIGHTING SERVICE WITH ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY LLC
MOTION: Council Member Beazley moved to approve. Council Member Tutson
seconded. Motion carried 7-0.

I am putting the presentation into the email doc because I didn't use Microsoft Word. I didn't want
you to have trouble opening the attachment.
WHY HAVE A LIBRARY FOR THE CITY OF ANNA
I guess the real question is "why not?"
I've heard the argument that Anna residents can either travel to Melissa or Van Alstyne to visit a
library. So let's see just how easy that is.
live in Oak Hollow. If I want to travel to Melissa Library by car and stay off of Interstate 75, 1 need to
travel on Highway 5. That takes 11 minutes and distance is 5.8 miles. If I want to travel to Van Alstyne
Library by car and stay off of Interstate 75, 1 also travel on Highway 5. That takes 14 minutes and
distance is 7.7 miles.
But wait ... what if I don't have a car? What if the book I'm looking for isn't at either library?
Right now our AISD schools are the only formal libaries in Anna. They are not open to the public. The
library at AMS has become more of a tech library and it is now closed for the school year. Lulu's
Bakery offers a Free Little Library and provides story time twice a month by the Melissa librarian.
But wait ... what if my child needs to type a report for school and he either doesn't have a computer
or internet at my home?
Anna doesn't offer a solution for that problem.
