the requirement that construction of capital improvements must be substantially
completed within the period provided in this service plan does not apply to a

IL TERM OF SERVICE PLAN
Pursuant to Section 43.056(1) of the LGC, this Plan shall be in effect for a ten-year period

Area: Somerset Hills Western Boundary
III. INTENT
It is the intent of the City that municipal services under this Plan shall provide full
municipal services (defined in the LGC as being those provided by the City within its
full service boundaries, including water and wastewater and excluding gas or electrical
services) in accordance with the timetables required by the LGC. The City reserves the
rights guaranteed to it by the LGC to amend this Plan if the City Council determines that
changed conditions, subsequent occurrences, or any other legally sufficient
circumstances exist under the LGC or other Texas laws that make this Plan unworkable,
obsolete, or unlawful.
ISI. CATEGORIZATION OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES
The municipal services described herein are categorized by those services which are (1)
available to the annexed area immediately upon annexation; (2) those services which
will be available to the annexed area within 21/2 years from the effective date of the
annexation; and (3) those services for which capital improvements are needed and
which will be available as provided in the Development Agreement.
For the purposes of this Plan, "provision of services" includes having services provided
by any method or means by which the City extends municipal services to any other
areas of the City, and may include causing or allowing private utilities, governmental
entities and other public service organizations to provide such services by contract, in
whole or in part.
In addition, in accordance with Section 43.056(g) of the LGC, if before annexation the
annexed area had a lower level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure
maintenance than the same being provided by the City to other areas within the City
limits, this Plan shall be construed to allow for the provision to the annexed area of a
level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to the
level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance in other parts of the City

the City Code of Ordinances, the Unified Development Code, the City's Construction
and Specifications Manual; Drainage Manual, and other published policies and technical
manuals, as the same may be amended from time to time, shall control the extension of
water and wastewater services to the annexed area. In addition, these policies and
ordinances are set by City Council and can be amended in the future:
Area: Somerset Hills Western Boundary
1. In General -- The provisions of Chapter 13 of the City's Unified. Development
Code ("UDC") shall apply in the annexed area and Chapter 13 of the City Code
of Ordinances. Portions of the current Chapter 13 of the UDC and the current
Chapter 13 of the Code of Ordinances are summarized below. Note that these
provisions are established by ordinance of the City Council and are subject to
change from time to time.
A. The City shall not repair, maintain, install or provide any water services,
wastewater service, gas, electricity or any other public utilities or services
to any property that has not been legally subdivided or is a non -legal lot.
B. For property that is required by the City's UDC or other City regulations
to construct water or wastewater facilities, funding and construction of
those facilities are the responsibility of the property owner or developer
(the "subdivider").
C. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public water
supply system for fire protection and domestic/ commercial/ industrial
usage consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Where an approved
public water supply or distribution main is within reasonable distance of
the subdivision, but in no case less than one-quarter mile away, and
connection to the system is both possible and permissible (including
adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to bear the
cost of connecting the subdivision to such existing water supply. The
subdivider shall, consistent with all existing ordinances, make a pro -rata
contribution to funding of needed storage facilities, treatment facilities,
and specific distribution lines as determined necessary= by the City.
D. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public
sanitary sewer system, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
throughout the entire subdivision such that all lots, parcels, or tracts of
land will be capable of connecting to the sanitary sewer system except as
otherwise provided herein. Where an approved public sanitary sewer
collection main or outfall line is in ne ease less than one-half mile away,
and connection to the system is both possible and permissible (including
adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to bear the
cost of connecting the subdivision to such existing sanitary sewer system.
Where an approved public wastewater collection main or outfall line is
more than one-half mile away from the property boundary, and where
extension of a sanitary sewer collection main or outfall line is scheduled
in the City's Capital Improvements Plan to be completed to a point
within one-half mile of the property boundary within five (5) years from
OM atX7�9;z r' ;
Annexation Service Plan
Page 8 of 14
Area: Somerset Hills Western Boundary
the date of the Preliminary Plat approval, the subdivider shall be required
to install a public wastewater collection system. The design and
construction of a public sanitary sewer system shall comply with
regulations covering extension of public sanitary sewer systems adopted
by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality,
E. All infrastructure and public improvements must be designed and.
installed in accordance with all of the elements of the Comprehensive
Plan and shall meet the minimum requirements established by the UDC,
the City's Construction Standards and Specifications for Roads, Streets,
Structures and Utilities, and any other adopted City design or technical
criteria. No main water line extension shall be less than eight inches. All
new public sanitary sewer systems shall be designed and constructed to
conform with the City's Construction Standards and Specifications and to
operate on a gravity flow basis by taking advantage of natural
topographic conditions and thereby reducing the need for lift stations and
force mains.
2. If the specific undeveloped property does not have City water or wastewater
facilities and capacity fronting the property - the owner may make an
application for an extension of service to the property. If the Assistant City
Manager for Utilities determines in writing that adequate water or wastewater
capacity is available, or will be available, and if the project does not include City
cost participation or reimbursement, if the proposed facilities are depicted on the
City's Water and Wastewater Master Plans, and the requested service otherwise
meets the City's requirements, the extension size, capacity, and routing may be
approved by the Assistant City Manager for Utilities for construction by the
developer at the developer's cost and expense.
3. If the specific undeveloped property does have adequate City water or
wastewater facilities and capacity fronting the property - the owner may
receive water or wastewater service from the City by applying for a tap permit
and paying the required fees.
4. If any property in the annexed area is using a septic system - the property
owner remains responsible for the operation and maintenance of the septic
system. If the property is in a Rural Residential Subdivision as defined in
Chapter 13 of the UDC, or is a legal lot greater than one acre in size and used for
single family residential purposes, the property shall continue the use of a septic
system after annexation until such time that the use of the property changes, the
property is further subdivided or developed, or a public sanitary sewer line has
been extended to within 200 feet of the property boundary and the property
owner has received notification from the City of the City's desire for the property
Area: Somerset Hills Western Boundary
to be connected to the public sanitary sewer line. If the septic system fails before
the City's centralized wastewater service is extended to within 200 feet of the
property and the City determines that the provision of centralized wastewater
service is not feasible or practical at that time, then the property owner must
either repair or replace the septic system in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.20 of the City Code of Ordinances. Properties using a septic system
that are not in a Rural Residential Subdivision, or are not legal lots greater than
one acre in size and used for single family residential purposes at the time of
annexation, but that are designated as either residential, open space or
agricultural on the City's Future Land Use Plan shall continue the use of a septic
system until such time that the use of the property changes, the property is
further subdivided or developed, or a public sanitary sewer line has been
extended to within 200 feet of the property boundary and the property owner
has received notification from the City of the City's desire for the property to be
connected to the public sanitary sewer line.
5. Reimbursement and cost participation by the City - Pursuant to Section
13.09.030 of the UDC, the City, in its sole discretion and with City Council
approval, may participate with a property owner or developer in the cost of
oversized facilities or line extensions. The actual calculation of the cost
participation and reimbursement amounts, including limits and schedules for the
payments, are set forth in the UDC.

service area, but the City is not otherwise required to provide service or planning
to provide service as reflected in the City's Capital Improvements Plan, the City
may nonetheless, at the City's sole option, facilitate the design and construction of
the required utility extensions or upgrades by managing the project with the cost
of such extensions to be shared and fully paid by the requesting landowners or
subdividers prior to commencement of the project.
C. When utility expansion is requested within a portion of the City's utility
service area, the City shall evaluate degree to which the project 1) facilitates
contiguous growth, 2) maximizes the provision of service to the service area, 3)
enhances economic development, 4) improves system operations, 5) contributes
to conservation or other environmental concern, and 6) facilitates the completion
of the utility master plan.
Area: Somerset Hills Western Boundary
D. At the City's sole option, the City may also facilitate the installation of
utility expansion requests through 1) financial cost contribution, 2) financing of
the improvement using individual contracts between the City and each landowner
for a proportionate share of the project cost to be paid out over a specified period
of time at a specified rate of interest, 3) Impact Fee or connection fee reduction or
waiver.
