WHEREAS, the city has been advised of the contents of the preliminary engineering report prepared in March of 2003 for MUD No. 1, and WHEREAS, the engineering report describes a 1,200 acre master planned community to be known as Light Ranch, of which approximately 521 acres will be within the boundaries of the proposed MUD No. 1, and WHEREAS, the 521 acres are proposed to contain 443 acres of residential lots, with the remaining 78 acres in flood plain, and WHEREAS, the proposal is 1,318 50 X 110 foot residential lots, and 585 60 X 110 foot lots, for a total of 1,903 residential units on the 443 acres, and WHEREAS, the engineering report projects a population on 443 acres of over 6,600 people, and WHEREAS, the size and density proposed for MUD No.1 creates the demand for full scope of city services, including fire, police, ambulance, street and road installation and maintenance, parks, building permits and inspection, and other services necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens purchasing residences in MUD No. 1, and WHEREAS, the MUD district as proposed will provide only water, sewer, and storm drainage, and WHEREAS, the MUD district as proposed is not authorized to provide fire, police, ambulance, parks, road maintenance, or other essential services, and WHEREAS, the proposed tax rate of $.91 debt service and $.05 operating tax rate will not include essential city services, except water, sewer, and storm drainage, and WHEREAS, no city has evidenced a current intent to annex the property in MUD No. 1, and WHEREAS, while the demands for city services in the 443 acres of MUD No.1 alone are significant, even greater challenges are created when the additional 800 acres of mixed used of residential, commercial and/or industrial are developed, and WHEREAS, the burdens on schools, traffic, crime prevention and control, fire protection, ambulance services, impact on local school districts, will, without question, fall to Collin County, and the taxpayers of neighboring cities; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anna, Collin County, Texas, as follows: 1. That this city, and the taxpayers within this city, will be both legally and economically impacted by unregulated growth in a 1,200 acre development in rural Collin County, and 2. The economic impact on the City of Anna will include higher taxes to be paid to Collin County to provide additional Sheriff's Deputies, roads and bridges, fire protection, ambulance services, and other services which a town, but not a MUD, provides; and 3. Insufficient detail has been provided in the Petition for the creation of MUD No.1, and the engineering report, to fully explain the additional, and significant impact that the remainder of the 1,200 acre total project will have on this City; and 4. The City therefore does request the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to order a public hearing to be held regarding the petition for the creation of MUD No. l and 5. The City does, pending the outcome of the hearing, register its vigorous opposition to the creation of Collin County MUD No. 1. Resolved unanimously by the City Council of the City of Anna, Texas on this 8th day of July, 2003. Kenneth Pelham, Mayor ATTEST: Wayne E.
