These services will be implemented within sixty (60) days of the effective date of the ordinance of which this service plan is a part. PLANNING, ZONING AND MAPPING The function of planning, zoning, and mapping is to implement ordinances relating to zoning classifications within the City and to provide mapping resources. Zoning functions include the following: (1) Provide proper zoning classification of properties within the City. Zoning is a tool to designate the uses of property, such as residential, business, agricultural, industry, etc. Proper zoning ensures the best use for the property and, at the same time, protects adjacent properties from mixed uses that reduce property value and lower the quality of life for adjacent property owners and residents. It also regulates parking, building heights, lot coverage, noise pollution, setbacks, and regulations relating to the use of property. (2) Enforce zoning ordinances relating to uses permitted, parking, lot coverage, minimum building area, storage, heights, and other items. (3) Implement and enforce subdivision and plat requirements. (4) Provide assistance to citizens building on their property and handle complaints relating to land use and zoning. Mapping and drafting functions include the following: (1) Provide mapping resources of new territories, zoning, streets, water and sewer lines, easements, right-of-ways, subdivisions, lots, and other related matters. (2) Assist citizens in matters related to their properties and maps containing requested information. These services will be provided to residents and property owners in newly annexed territories on the some basis as they are provided to residents and property owners in the existing incorporated area. Planning, zoning, and mapping services will be implemented immediately upon the effective date of this ordinance. FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES The City is served by the Anna Volunteer Fire Department, a private non-profit corporation. Fire protection services provided by the Anna Volunteer Fire Department to the City include response to fire calls and inspection of commercial and industrial structures for code violations. All fire protection services provided by the Anna Volunteer Fire Department within the existing corporate limits will be provided within the newly annexed area upon the effective date of the annexation. Volunteers are available for consultation on fire prevention on request by citizens and/or properly owners of the community. Fire protection services will be implemented immediately upon the effective date of this ordinance. STREET MAINTENANCE The street maintenance function is primarily supported from ad valorem (property) and sales taxes. Maintenance activities are determined by the level of funding and the need for maintenance as determined by the city council. Once the annexation of property included in this ordinance has been completed, all streets, roads, and bridges included in the annexed area will be added to the City's street maintenance program. Roadways in the newly annexed area will receive equal consideration with regard to maintenance as those within the existing corporate limits. Street maintenance services will be implemented immediately upon the effective date of this ordinance or after the acceptance by the City of the streets in a new subdivision, whichever is appropriate. WASTEWATER SERVICES Citizens in newly annexed areas will be offered sanitary sewer service in accordance with existing City ordinances. Generally these ordinances state that the customer must bear the cost of construction of sewer system facilities to a point where service to the customer can be provided. All sanitary sewer facilities must be constructed in accordance with Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, Texas Department of Insurance, and City of Anna regulations and specifications. The policy for private service lines will remain the same as exists in the current city limits. That is, the City will maintain main transmission lines only. Only one connection per structure is permitted without specific written approval from an authorized official of the City. It is not anticipated that the City of Anna will extend sanitary sewer service to the annexed property in the near future. Therefore, the property owners have been granted permission to use on-site sewer facilities meeting Collin County standards. Improvements to the City's sanitary sewer system are made on a priority basis in accordance with the Wastewater System element of the Comprehensive Development Plan of the City of Anna. This Plan is evaluated and updated periodically. Upon completion of this annexation, the Plan will be evaluated and updated to include wastewater system improvement needs of the annexed area as part of the overall Anna Wastewater System Plan. Sanitary sewer service rates will be assessed at the same rate as established for other city customers in the same use classification. Residents and property owners in newly annexed areas will be offered water service in accordance with existing City ordinances. Generally, these ordinances state that the customer must bear the cost of construction of water system facilities to a point where suitable connection to the existing system can be made and service to the customer can be provided. Water service facilities designed to connect an unserved area to the City's existing system must be approved by the City Council and meet all City zoning, subdivision, and other relevant requirements. All water mains must be constructed in accordance with Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, Texas Department of Insurance, and City of Anna regulations and specifications. The policy for private service lines will remain the same as exists in the current City limits. That is, the City will maintain water lines from the water main to the water meter. All repairs/maintenance from the meter to the point of usage is the property owner's responsibility. It is not anticipated that the City of Anna will extend City water service to the annexed property in the near future. Therefore, the property owners have been granted permission to secure water service from the South Grayson Water Supply Corporation. Water service rates will be assessed at the same rate as established for other city customers in the same use classification. Improvements to the water system are made on a priority basis in accordance with the Water System element of the Comprehensive Development Plan of the City of Anna. This Plan is evaluated and updated periodically.
