MAY O ATTEST: CITY CLERK ATTACHMENT A City of Wichita Falls ANNEXATION SERVICE PLAN Generally Referred to as the Kovarik Road 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 proposed for annexation by the City. This area is shown by a map herein labeled Exhibit A, and further described by field notes in Exhibit B. The area proposed for annexation contains approximately 2,724 acres. Land uses in the area are comprised of 107 single - family detached dwellings, 5 mobile /manufactured homes and 12 non - residential land uses or commercial land uses. 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 this area. This process produces a population of 303. The reasoning for this annexation is based on three primary factors: 1. Development which has occurred during recent years, 2. Development potential for the area, and 3. The need to protect the integrity of existing land uses by the application of controls intended "...to promote and protect the general health, safety, morals and welfare of persons residing in and adjacent to the municipalities." (42.001 LGC), which are intended to help ensure quality development consistent with the area's potentials and plans. 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 puts the municipality's future development and taxing potential at -risk, and where the consequence of development could be at the detriment of the City. Many of the residents in the area rely upon deed restrictions to control land use or negative impacts from adjacent land uses. Over time, deed restrictions and restrictive covenants have little effect on future development, as has been demonstrated a number of times within the existing City Limits. I � IL 364 14�r NON.
