French spoke to the issues that ETJ disannexations can cause related to City planning efforts
and how those right outside the City can impact the City and future City boundaries.
Mark Wells, who operates a business near this property addressed the Council regarding: that
he has a relatively new business that was established since 2017; he bought because the
property was in the path of development and being in the ETJ allowed for some control related
to nearby property and possible developments; this process will make it harder to invest in the
ETJ due to the unpredictable nature of development; and he does not feel that this is in the
best interest of the City.

necessarily know what's going onto these properties once a property is disannexed; staff will
be creating a GIS layer to track disannexations, staff will be putting the map of disannexations
