ATTEST: CITY CLERK md City of Wichita Falls Generally Referred to as the U.S. 287 Area August 1997 INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code, the City of Wichita Falls has prepared this Service Plan for the delivery of municipal services to an area which is proposed to be annexed to the City. This area of land is shown in a map herein labeled Exhibit A, and further described by field notes in Exhibit B. The area proposed to be annexed contains approximately 2,359 acres. Land uses in the area are comprised of 29 single-family detached dwellings, 4 mobile/manufactured homes and 13 non-residential or commercial land uses. A majority of the area is agricultural in nature. Based on procedures used in the 1990 Census to determine population, a multiplier of 2.71 persons per household has been used to calculate the population of 89. The catalyst for this annexation stems from three primary factors: 1 Within the past three years, the City has received several development inquires within this area. These inquiries have been non-residential, commercial ventures. Two inquiries have related to mobile home parks, also classified as commercial uses. 2. The Texas Legislature established an extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) for cities in Texas "...to promote and protect the general health, safety and welfare of persons residing in and adjacent to the municipalities." (42.001 LGC). In general, land uses are not regulated. Due to the nature of inquiries into developing this area, there is a need for the City to annex this area in order to enforce land use activities to prevent the undesirable effects of potential land uses upon the existing land uses — which may degrade future development potentials for the area. Once development pressures increase in an area, a municipality should have sufficient land use controls in place so that a logical pattern of development may occur. Not having such controls in-place may put the municipality's future development and taxing potential at-risk, where the consequence of development could be a detriment to the City, which in turn has the potential for decreasing the quality of services within the City. 3. U.S. Hwy. 287 is listed as a primary route on the National Highway System (NHS). The four intersections within the area of annexation provides a quick means of access to and from U.S. 287. Having this ingress and egress provides the basis for the future, transportation network within this area. In addition, the topography in the area offers high visibility for retail land uses. fl X H�BlT 1' rr A �AtRK FWWAr .rte 4c t v o _ �W � r � t t ti 3Ny� Nfl1JNl�73* F;. k � A / CREE 3WI NOlaNINNn4 4o O t l t. q q CD Wl Nfl1JNiNNl1H \ \ W 2tr LAJJ Y q q 7 \ ca J NJJ NOU Ybpd `' -...., a7t�J "IddT ti 1 :*y14 911 Field Notes BEGINNING at a point in the southwestern corner of a tract of land annexed by Ordinance 2670, Tract 1, said point being 200 feet south of the south right-of-way of US 287; THENCE west along the south line extended of said tract 1, to a point 500 feet south of the south right-of-way line of US 287; THENCE in a northwesterly direction, 500 feet south and parallel to the south right-of- way line of US 287, to a point in the present City Limits line of Pleasant Valley; THENCE northerly to a point, said point being the most northeasterly corner of the Pleasant Valley City Limits line; THENCE N890 52'W 3,340 feet to a point; THENCE north 600 feet to a point being the northeast corner of Pleasant Valley's northern extraterritorial jurisdiction; THENCE N890 52'W 950 feet to a point on the west right-of-way line of F.M. 369; THENCE southerly along the west right-of-way line of F.M. 369 to a point being the intersection of said right-of-way line and the north line of the L.F.
