f.Approve a Resolution to Execute a Subdivision Improvement Agreement with
Meadow Vista Phase 2, for landscaping improvements to Ferguson Parkway
south of Hackberry Drive, subject to review and approval of the City Attorney.
(Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.)
Meadow Vista is a master-planned single-family residential development project
located at the northwest corner of Hackberry Drive and Ferguson Parkway in the
City of Anna. Phase 1 of the project is under construction, with Phase 2
beginning in the near future. Ferguson Parkway is a 4-lane divided arterial
roadway in the City, with medians splitting the northbound and southbound
traffic. Currently, there is no irrigation system located in the Ferguson Parkway
medians from Hackberry Drive to a point 275 feet south of the intersection of
Ferguson Parkway and Avery Pointe Drive.
Bloomfield Homes, L.P. is the developer of the Meadow Vista project and
understands the value of improving the landscaping along a primary route to and
from their project. They have agreed to design and construct the necessary
median improvements, with the understanding that the City will reimburse
building permit fees from the Meadow Vista development to cover the project
costs. Entering into a partnership with Bloomfield Homes allows the City to
complete this important project faster and cheaper when compared to a stand-
alone capital improvement project.
The developer and City staff have agreed to a total project budget of $350,000,
based on a preliminary cost estimate provided by the developer. Per the
language in the agreement and discussions with the developer, costs will not
exceed $350,000.

trucks, a kids zone, fireworks and live music. Each year the event features a
headline band/performer for the live music element. This performance

Article 9.04 (Zoning Ordinance regarding Cannabidiol (CBD) shops and
smoking-related shops land uses. (Director of Development Services Stephanie
Scott-Sims)
Upon request by the City Council in furtherance of promoting the public health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens of Anna, City Staff has initiated an
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance regulations pertaining to Cannabidiol
(CBD) shops and other smoking-related shops.
Overview of Proposed Text Amendments
1. Revised Section 9.04.081 Land Use Terms (definitions):
•Expanded and clarified definition of Cannabidiol (CBD) Shop.
•Added new definition for "Cigar Lounge"
•Added new definition for "Cigar Shop"
•Added new definition for "Smoke Shop"
2. Amended Table 19: Land Use Table, to include new terms (above), Use-
Specific Requirements, and Parking Standards:
•Deleted "Hookah Lounge" land use (which is now integrated within the
new term, "Smoke Shop").
•Changed the name "CBD Store" to "CBD Shop".
•Added new "Cigar Lounge" land use. Cigar Lounge land uses are
permitted by right in the Commercial-1 (C-1) and Commercial-2 (C-2)
Zoning Districts and as a Specific Use in the Mixed-Use (MU) and
Downtown-Core (DT-CE) Zoning Districts. Additionally, Use-Specific
Standards were added for this land use (see below). A Parking Standard
of 4/1,000 sf was added.
•Added new "Cigar and Smoke Shops" land uses. These land uses are
permitted as Specific Use in the Commercial-1 (C-1) and Commercial-2
(C-2) Zoning Districts. Use-Specific Standards have been added (see
below). A Parking Standard of 2.5/1,000 sf was added.
Exhibit A provided a visual representation of the proposed changes to Table 19.
3. Use-Specific Standard: To prevent the proliferation of CBD and smoking-
related shops in proximity to one another, Use-Specific Standards were added
to Table 19. According to the proposed Use Standards:
•CBD shops, cigar shops, cigar lounges, and smoke shops may not be
located within one thousand (1,000) feet of any existing CBD shop, cigar
shop, cigar lounge, or smoke shop.
To provide an understanding of what a 1,000-foot buffer looks like, staff
prepared Exhibit B, which showed a 1,000-foot buffer around the existing
smoking-related shops.
At its March 18, 2025, meeting, the Planning & Zoning Commission
recommended the addition of a 1,000-foot buffer around schools and churches.
The recommended 1,000-foot buffer around churches and schools has also
been added to Exhibit B.
Per the advice of the City Attorney, Staff included two alternative ordinances for
City Council's consideration. Exhibit C was the Ordinance that Staff
recommended for approval to the Planning & Zoning Commission, without a
1,000-foot buffer around schools and churches. Exhibit D was a revised
Ordinance per the request of the Planning & Zoning Commission, that included
a 1,000-foot buffer around schools and churches.
Mayor Cain opened the public hearing at 6:16 PM.
No public comments.
Mayor Cain closed the public hearing at 6:16 PM.
Council discussed and voted on the Exhibit D Ordinance.
MOTION: Council Member Toten moved to approve with an amendment to
double the school buffer to 2,000 feet. Mayor Pro Tem Carver seconded. Motion
carried 5-2. Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Baker and Council Member Miller opposed.

Anna Community Library Collections Policy
Materials Selection
At the Anna Community Library, we believe everyone has the right to read and explore different ideas.
This right is a fundamental part of democracy and ensures people can form their own opinions. To
support this, our library follows national guidelines from the American Library Association and the
Texas Library Association that promote intellectual freedom.
Our goal is to provide a wide range of books, digital resources, and other materials that reflect different
viewpoints. While the library staff carefully selects these materials, their inclusion does not mean we
endorse any particular opinion.
We choose materials based on their quality, usefulness, and ability to serve our community. We do not
add or remove items based on whether they will be popular or controversial. Our collection aims to
cover many topics in a way that meets both current and future community needs.
How Materials Are Chosen and Managed
A team of library staff, known as the Collection Development Committee, is responsible for selecting
and maintaining materials. They ensure that the collection is diverse, informative, and serves the needs
of the community.
We welcome suggestions from our neighbors! If you have a book or resource, you'd like us to consider
adding, please let us know. While budget and availability may limit what we can add, we strive to
include as many community-requested materials as possible.
To keep our collection relevant and useful, staff regularly review materials. Items may be removed if
they are outdated, damaged, or no longer used. However, books or other resources will never be
removed simply because they are controversial.
Requesting a Review of Library Materials
The Anna Community Library supports intellectual freedom and follows formal procedures for
reviewing material challenges, as outlined in the General Policy.
If you have concerns about a book or other material or if you believe something important is missing,
you can submit a Materials Reconsideration Form.
Anna Community Library Safe Child Policy
The Anna Community Library welcomes parents and children and strives to provide a safe, enjoyable,
and engaging environment. We encourage families to visit, explore our resources, and foster a love of
reading.
Library staff are here to assist you but cannot monitor children at all times. Parents and caregivers are
responsible for their children's safety and behavior while in the library.
Child Supervision Policy
1. Children 12 and under must be supervised by a parent or caregiver at all times while in the
library.
2. Parents and caregivers are responsible for ensuring their children follow library rules.
3. During library programs, parents or caregivers must remain in the library if their child is 12
years old or younger.
4. If a child 12 or younger is found unattended, staff will try to locate the parent or caregiver. If
they cannot be found, the child may be placed in the care of the Anna Police Department.
5. Parents and caregivers are responsible for supervising their children's internet use, in
accordance with the Library Services Policy.
These policies are in place to keep all children safe while they enjoy the library. Thank you for your
cooperation!
Anna Community Library General Policy
The Anna Community Library welcomes all members of the community and provides access to its
facilities, services, programs, and materials for everyone.
Library Accounts
To borrow materials, access public computers, and some additional services individuals must have a
valid library account. The library issues accounts to all city residents and non-residents, property
owners, and business owners who complete the application process.
Privacy and Confidentiality
The Anna Community Library respects the privacy of all library users. Library records are confidential
and not considered public records. The City Council affirms legal decisions stating that protecting
library records is essential to ensuring free access to information. Library staff and the Director follow
strict procedures to keep all records confidential.
The Anna Community Library supports intellectual freedom and follows formal procedures for
reviewing material challenges, as outlined in the Collections Policy.
Library User Responsibilities
Library users are expected to:
1. Treat library property with care.
2. Respect the rights and property of others.
3. Follow all posted library and city regulations.
4. Share feedback and suggestions for library improvements.
5. Follow the Safe Child Policy.
6. Parents and caregivers must supervise children 12 and under at all times, in accordance with
the Safe Child Policy.
7. Adhere to copyright laws when using library materials.
Meeting Room Use
Users of library meeting rooms must follow the Meeting Room Guidelines, which prohibit commercial
activities, fees, and fundraising unless explicitly approved by the library.
Volunteers
As part of the City of Anna’s volunteer program, the Anna Community Library recruits,
trains, and maintains volunteers in service to the library and the public. The Library
accepts applications from those who wish to participate in the volunteer program
through the City’s volunteer website. All volunteers are expected to be respectful of the
library work environment and comply with library and volunteer policies. The library
does accept volunteer applications from applicants aged 13 and up. The volunteer will
be required to provide a copy of a current driver’s license or appropriate identification
and submit to a background check.

City Acceptance Date(“Maintenance Bond”).
(c) Approval of Plats/Plans. Approval by the City, the City's engineer or other City employee or
representative of any plans, designs or specifications submitted by Developer pursuant to this
Agreement or pursuant to City Regulations shall not constitute or be deemed to be a release
of the responsibility and liability of Developer, its engineer, employees, officers or agents for
the accuracy and competency of their design and specifications. Further, any such approvals
shall not be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility and liability by the City for
any defect in the design and specifications prepared by Developer's engineer, its officers,
agents, servants or employees, it being the intent of the Parties that approval by the City's
engineer signifies the City's approval on only the general design concept of the improvements

of the Roadway Project design contract(s) and/or construction contract(s), whether by
Developer, a contractor, subcontractor, engineer, materialman, or otherwise. Coverage must
be on a "per occurrence" basis. All such insurance shall: (i) be issued by a carrier which is
rated "A-1" or better by A.M. Best's Key Rating Guide and licensed to do business in the State
of Texas; and (ii) name the City as an additional insured and contain a waiver of subrogation
endorsement in favor of the City. Upon the execution of design and/or construction contracts,
Developer shall provide to the City certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance
coverage together with the declaration of such policies, along with the endorsement naming
the City as an additional insured. Each such policy shall provide that, at least 30 days prior to
the cancellation, non-renewal or modification of the same, the City shall receive written notice
of such cancellation, non-renewal or modification.

Future Land Use Plan
The Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan divides the Downtown area into two distinct
sub-areas – the Downtown Core and the Downtown Neighborhood. The boundaries of
these areas reflect differences in the key attributes and potential future uses in each
area.
According to the Plan, the Downtown Core is bounded by FM455/White Street on the
south, Slayter Creek on the west, Hackberry Lane on the north and Easton Street and
East Hackberry Lane on the east and is envisioned as the heart of the community, with
the potential for outdoor recreation and entertainment, local boutiques and shops and
restaurants. The property in question is located within the Downtown Core subarea.
The Downtown Neighborhood area surrounds the Downtown Core and is characterized
by a different development pattern, with larger block sizes containing single-family
residences and undeveloped land. This area feeds into the Core and provides the
largest catalytic sites for Downtown development with the potential for mixed uses and
urban living. The Downtown Neighborhood area is intended to provide a transition from
the Downtown Core to the rest of the community.
Downtown Development Character Areas
Within the Downtown Core and Downtown Neighborhood subareas, the Plan identifies
future development patterns through five distinctive Character Areas: (1) Retail Center,
(2) Catalyst Areas, (3) Adaptive Reuse/Infill, (4) Intown Residential, and (5) Transitional
Development.
The property in question is identified as having the potential for Catalyst Area
development. Catalyst Areas are key areas in Downtown identified for their size and
potential to spur activity, contribute to the urban fabric and to serve as a unique
Downtown anchor.
The property is owned by the Anna Community Development Corporation and will be
used to attract commercial development opportunities to the Downtown in conformance
with the Catalyst Area designation. Additionally, this request is in conformance with
Action 9.1 of the Comprehensive Plan and Downtown Master Plan which calls for city-
initiated rezoning of downtown properties.

AGENDA ITEM:
Conduct a Public Hearing/Consider/Discuss/Action on an Ordinance of the City of Anna,
Texas amending Article 9.07 (Tree Preservation) of the Anna City Code of Ordinances.
(Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.).
SUMMARY:
This item is for the City Council to approve an ordinance regarding changes to the list of
quality trees in the City of Anna Code of Ordinances.
At the April 7, 2025 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting, the Commission voted 4-0
to recommend approval to the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the City Council to approve an ordinance regarding changes to the list of
quality trees in the City of Anna Code of Ordinances.
This item requires a Public Hearing to be held.
Public Hearing Note: At the time and place of the public hearing, all persons who
desire will have an opportunity to be heard in opposition to or in favor of the
ordinance, application, or other proposed item.
At the November 12, 2024 City Council Meeting, the City Council directed the City
Manager to review the list of quality trees in the City of Anna Code of Ordinances and
make changes to address concerns regarding the types of trees installed in new
development projects. City staff worked with representatives of the Texas A&M Forestry
Service to review our list of quality trees and seek opportunities to improve tree
selection and tree diversity in our community.
Based on the discussion and recommendations provided by the Forestry Service staff,
the attached ordinance has been prepared for review and consideration by the Planning
& Zoning Commission and the City Council. The proposed changes include:
• Remove Ash trees from the quality tree list due to the Emerald Ash Borer
parasite becoming more prevalent in Collin County. This invasive species is
difficult to control, and kills ash trees within 2-5 years of infestation.
• Add language to highly encourage developers to select a range of quality trees to
plant in new developments, to increase plant diversity and reduce tree monotony.
• Minor tree name changes to match Texas A&M Agriculture Extension

9.07; and
WHEREAS, in consultation with experts from the Texas A&M Forestry Service, the City has
identified some tree species previously approved that are now recognized as being at a high risk
of infestation with parasites, and the health and resilience of the local environment would likely
be enhanced if developers were encouraged to use a wider range of tree species, and the
aesthetics of developments would be enhanced by more variety; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has investigated and determined that it would be advantageous and
beneficial to the City and its citizens to amend Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 of the Anna Code’s
Tree Preservation ordinance to remove certain species, clarify or correct the names of certain
others, and add language encouraging use of multiple species in a single development.

AGENDA ITEM:
Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution for the Purchase of ± 44.73 Acres from Ann
Warren Hayslett for $8,000,000. (Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.)
SUMMARY:
The purchase contract before the City Council is for 44.73 acres of land located of
Highway 5 and adjacent to Country Road 423 for $8,000,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the purchase of property for future City facilities was appropriated in the
FY2025 Community Investment Program budget in the amount of $10,000,000 from the
City of Anna 2024 Certificate of Obligation Bond Funds. The estimated cost of this item
is $8,000,000.
BACKGROUND:
At the August 13, 2024, City Council Meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution
authorizing the issuance and sale of up to $25,000,000 combination tax and revenue
certificates of obligation. Ten million of that total was marked for the acquisition of land
for a future police station and public works service center. The City has negotiated with
Ann Warren Hayslett for the purchase of 44.73 acres of Highway 5 and adjacent to
County Road 423. The land will be used for a future police station and public safety
facilities. As the city continues to grow, it is vital for the expansion of our critical
services. The land being purchased will allow the City to expand its police department
and public safety operations to meet the needs of neighbors.
The purchase price of the land is $8,000,000.
STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS:
This item supports the City of Anna Strategic Plan, specifically advancing the strategic
outcome area: Safe.

Real Estate Sales Contract Page 5 of 12
within ten (10) days after the deadline for the giving of Seller’s Cure Notice, notify Seller that either this Contract is

Commitment, remove all liens affecting the Property, terminate—in accordance with this Contract—all leases
affecting the Property, remove all exceptions that arise by, through, or under Seller after the Effective Date, and cure
only the Title Objections that Seller has agreed to cure in the Cure Notice. At or before Closing, Seller must resolve
the items that are listed on Schedule C of the Title Commitment which are Seller’s responsibility to resolve, remove
all such liens, terminate all such leases, remove all exceptions that arise by, through, or under Seller after the Effective
Date of this Contract, and cure the Title Objections that Seller has agreed to cure.
7.Survey. Buyer, at Buyer's expense, will obtain a new survey of the Property and deliver a copy thereof
to Seller by the deadline specified in A6 above. The Survey shall be a current on-the-ground survey of the Property
that substantially complies with the requirements of a Category 1A, Condition I or II (as applicable) survey in the
Manual of Practice for Land Surveying in the State of Texas promulgated by the Texas Board of Professional Land
Surveying and shall be adequate to enable the Title Company to delete the survey exception in the Title Policy (except
for “shortages in area”). Once the Survey has been completed, the legal description of the Property shown therein
shall be substituted for the legal description in Exhibit A and shall serve as the legal description of the Property in
the Deed. The Survey shall be certified to Buyer, Seller, the Title Company and Buyer’s lender (if applicable).
G. Condition of the Property until Closing; Cooperation; No Recording of Contract; Lease
1.Maintenance and Operation. Until Closing, Seller will (a) maintain the Property as it existed on the
Effective Date, except for reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage; (b) operate the Property in the same manner
as it was operated on the Effective Date; and (c) not further encumber the Property with liens, easements, restrictions
or any other matter affecting title to the Property, or modify the terms of any existing leases, contracts or
encumbrances, if any, without Buyer’s prior written consent, except that Seller shall terminate any leases in
accordance with this Contract.
2.Casualty Damage. Seller will notify Buyer promptly after discovery of any casualty damage to the
Property. Seller will have no obligation to repair or replace the Property if it is damaged by casualty before Closing.
Buyer may terminate this Contract if the casualty damage that occurs before Closing would materially affect Buyer’s
intended use of the Property, by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Seller’s notice of the
casualty, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer. If Buyer does not terminate this Contract,
Seller will (a) convey the Property to Buyer in its damaged condition, (b) assign to Buyer all of Seller’s rights under
any property insurance policies covering the Property, (c) pay to Buyer the amount of the deductibles and coinsurance
provisions under any insurance policies covering the Property, but not in excess of the cost to repair the casualty
damage and less any amounts previously paid by Seller to repair the Property; and (d) assign any claims that Seller
may have had against any third party with respect to compensation for any such casualty damage. If Seller has not
insured the Property and Buyer does not elect to terminate this Contract in accordance with this section, the Purchase
Price will be reduced by the cost to repair the casualty damage.

Real Estate Sales Contract Page 7 of 12
after the Effective Date and after Closing. All taxes due as of Closing will be paid at Closing.
If this sale or Buyer’s use of the Property after Closing results in the assessment of additional

will be the obligation of the Buyer. All prorations shall be final at Closing. The parties’
obligations under this paragraph shall survive the Closing.
d.Brokers’ Commissions and Disclosure. Buyer and Seller each represents and warrants to the
other that they have had no contact with any real estate broker, finder or other person who
might be entitled, or claim to be entitled, to a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other
compensation in connection with this transaction other than CBRE, Inc., (“Buyer's Broker”)
and Franklin Land Company, LLC (“Seller’s Broker”). In the event of Closing hereof, Seller
shall pay a commission to the Buyer’s Broker equal to the sum of three percent (3%) of the
Purchase Price, and shall pay a commission to the Seller’s Broker equal to the sum or three
percent (3%) of the Purchase Price (the "Fees"). Buyer and Seller each hereby indemnify
and agree to defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims,
demands, liabilities, causes of action, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) caused by or arising out of any breach of its foregoing warranty. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive the Closing or termination of this Contract and shall not be subject
to any limitation of liability otherwise set forth in this Contract.

I. Default and Remedies
1.Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Contract (“Seller’s

be delivered to Buyer. If title to the Property is awarded to Buyer, the conveyance will be subject to the Permitted

penalty). Seller waives any remedy for damages.
3.Liquidated Damages. The parties agree that just compensation for the harm that would be caused by
a default by either party cannot be accurately estimated or would be very difficult to accurately estimate and that the

party for the harm that would be caused by a default.
