In addition, these policies and ordinances are set by City Council and can be amended in the
future:
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 theserovisions are established b
p Y
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").
Co., 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 ap ro-
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 inne
ewe 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 existingsanitary
Y
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
Annexation Service Plan
Page 7 of 13
Sundance Plaza
City's Capital Improvements Plan to be completed to a point within one-half
mile of the property boundary within five (5) years from 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 Qualify.
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 protect 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
ity fronting the property the owner may receive water or
facilities and capac
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 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
Annexation Service Plan
Page 8 of 13

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

single family residential purposes at the time of annexation; but that are designated as
either residential, open spaceor agricultural on the City's Future Land Use Plan shall
