*REGULAR SESSION
'I B.2 Discuss and take appropriate action to adopt an Ordinance designating the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of
the Town and adopting an official map of the Town showing the Town's boundaries and extraterritorial
jurisdiction.
Town Manager Emmons explained that staff looked at the existing Town boundaries and confirmed that the ETJ
recommended for approval does not conflict with Flower Mound or Southlake. Emmons suggested that
the ETJ start at a one half-mile radius, as this is what Westlake previously relinquished to the Town.
Mayor Sanders provided that several weeks ago Municipal Utility District 2 received a request from a developer
for a piece of land that was not in any of the surrounding cities; however the ETJ was in Denton County.
Mayor Sanders added that the Town never took formal action designating the ETJ after it was
relinquished by Westlake.
Motion made by Williams, seconded by Lamont adopting an Ordinance designating the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction
of the Town and adopting an official map of the Town showing the Town's boundaries and extraterritorial
jurisdiction.
Town Attorney Adams clarified that the law allows up to a one-mile radius, to be respectful of other boundaries;
the staff is recommended only a one half-mile radius.
Town Manager Emmons added that the boundaries belong to the Corp of Engineers. The Town could not
enforce land use, however the Town's subdivision controls, in terms of infra structure would apply to the
people in this ETJ.
Mayor Pro Tem Williams asked about annexing into the Town. Emmons answered that this could be
accomplished; that it would take up to 90 days, as Public Hearings would need to be held. MUD 2 is able
to annex quicker as they are not subject to Public Hearings.
) Mayor Pro Tem Williams believes that it makes since to annex this piece of land into Trophy Club and requested
that staff pursue annexation.
Town Manager Emmons explained that MUD 2 is not allowed to provide services outside of their ETJ without
annexation of the controlling body. Emmons referred to page 11 of the packet, stating that under the
Water Code MLlD 2 needs formal consent, in writing in order to provide services to residents in this ETJ.
Council member Lamont thanked Carol Borges, MUD 2 Director for extending their meeting last week to allow the
Town time to get all of the facts.
Motion passed unanimously to approve Ordinance Number 2006-42, without further discussion.
6.3 Discuss and take all appropriate action regarding the approval or denial of consent to the proposed
annexation of land into MUD 2, described as 12.2346 acres of Medlin Survey, A-832, as requested by
Southwest TOA, LLC.
Town Manager Emmons explained that this Resolution is the Town's formal consent to the annexation of land into
MUD 2.
Motion made by Lamont, seconded by Cates to approve a Resolution consenting to annexation of land into MUD
2, described as 12.2346 acres of Medlin Survey, A-832, as requested by Southwest TOA, LLC.
Mayor Pro Tem Williams questioned if the land had been platted. Mayor Sanders confirmed that it has not been
platted and Shelia McQueen is the property owner. Town Manager Emmons added that since the
property in question is not officially declared as the Town's ETJ, it has not been submitted to the Town for
platting. The developer should be bringing it in to the Town in next couple of days.
Motion passed unanimously to approve Resolution Number 2006-20 without further discussion.
D.l Adjourn.
Motion made by Lamont, seconded by Sterling to adjourn.
Meeting adjourned at 7:24 P.M.
