M Public Hearing regarding the annexation of approximately 81.181 acres in the David Wright Survey,
located between Airport Road and IH35, north of Lakeway Drive/Clyde von Rosenberg and Ed
Barry
The Public Hearing was opened at 7:27 p.m. Barry explained the service plan and explained that
this was the first of two required public hearings before the annexation ordinance would be
presented to the Council for adoption.
Wood recognized Mr. Marbert Moore of 3033 Airport Road, owner of the property to be annexed.
Moore told Council that he was not asking to be annexed but asking "what if' he requested utility
service to the area in order to develop a mobile home park. Wood asked Hart to respond.
Hart stated that there were two issues involved in the annexation policy. The first is that wastewater
service is generally not provided outside the City Limits. The other issue is that mobile homes are
not considered to be appropriate development along an interstate highway.
Curl asked and was told that this item was not posted for discussion or deliberation. Curl asked
Moore if he felt that his property would be de -valued if it were annexed. Moore repeated that he
had not asked to be annexed, and said if he did plan to develop the property, he would not mind
being annexed. He asked Council to state whether he would be annexed if he did not develop a
mobile home park. Curl stated that she wanted to make sure he understood that they were not
allowed to comment.
The public hearing was closed at 7:37 p.m.
