Mr. G. Chris Hartung accepted the resolution. He further stated that
he appreciated this very much and it had been a very great honor for
him to serve as City Aanager of Denton. Denton was a tremendous
place to live and he was glad that someone had conducted a study
during the past year to prove that. One of the things which had made
his tenure with the city survivable was the support which ho had
received from the City Council, particularly many of those who were
preser.tly on the Council. The longevity of the members on the
Council had been a great asset to him. There had been good tines and
ti30se which were not so good. During those times wnich were not to
good, it w,)uld have been Impossible for him without the support of
the Counci, and the .Mayor. A City Managat could not survive without
solid sujp-rt from the Lountil and 're had enjoyed that support while
h~ servu as City Manager.

Masch Branch Road and the GC4SF itaitroad. A-14
The Meyor opened -he public hearing.
Jeff Meyer, Director of Planning and Community Development, spoke in
favor reporting that one of the reasans this annexation was brought
to the attention of the Council was that there was some development
In the area and the potential for further development. There were
some undesirable land uses in place and anoth * reason for
consideration of this annexation wa, to prevent furt.,er undesirable
land uses. A discussion had been held regarding rounding off the
area and to go along some property lines and natural boundaries. In
doing this, apparently there were some people who did not wish to be
included. over the last several years, opposition to annexation had
basically fit two general areas - people wanted to maintain rural
style of life, or they did not wish to pay city taxes. The stAff
position was une of trying to control growth and development. This
area met the Council's criteria for annexation. There were 12 reply
forms mailed with 0 returned In favor and 3 retu;^ed in opposition.
Mr. hiilard Simpson spoke In opposition stating that he wanted to
know what the city would do for the residents, such as water and/or
sever service.
Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins asked Mr. Simpson if he had received a plan
for service which was available at the entrance to the Council
Chambers.
Mt. Simpson replied that he had.
Council Aember McAdams asked it Ar. Simpson would like to say
something specific about why he was opposed of did he just not want
to be in the city.
Mr. Simpson responded that he did not want to be In the city. There
were approximately 10 other property owners who were opposed to the
annexation but they could not be present Ikt this public hearing.
Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins stated that this was only the first in a
series of public h:arigs.
Mr. James Owens, property evners, spoke In opposition stating that
he only owned a small piece ;if property but he did not want his land
in the city limits. At this ime the city did not have anything to
offer him and he did not need anything the city had. The ro}}erty
4 had no utilities !n place and he did not want it in the city fig.i s.

Mr. Owens responded no.
Council Member dcAdams asked how much property was invc'red,
Mr. Ovens stated it. was between 2 and 3 acres.
Tne Mayor clnsed the public hearing.
Jeff Meyer, Uirector of Planning and i;ommunity Developnent, reported
that any newly annexed area was eligible for all city services, such
as fire and police protection and the use of the library and parks.
There were things whicl were not tax supported, suc!a as garbage
pickup which was paid .'or on a service basis. hater and sewer
connecti ns were the same as for anybidy In the city. If a citizens
patd for the connection, they received the service. If they did r.ot
want the service and did not pay for it, they did not get it. The
was the same in the middle of the city or A newly annexed area,
Tnis general service plan had been in effect for the last 5 years,
From an analysis viewpoint, the city would not make a profit from
annexation, In fact, in the short run, the city would lose money by
providing service to an area which did not have a tax base. In the
long run, the purpose of annxation was to control land and future
land use. 0r that basis, staff recommended that the Council
continue this annexation process.
Council Member McAdams stated that she would like to make a comment
ter the benefit of those who were conctrned about this annexation.
the Council was looking at the fact that there was some development
taking place in this area which was not particularly desirable. The
city could not control this development unless the land was
annexed. This included the fact that developers could do things to
the land which would cause drainrge probl:as on other property.
McAdams motion, Chev second to proceed with the annexation. Motion
carrried unanimously.

Mayor Stewart stated that annexation procedure was different from
rouing and the annexation was all that was being considered at this
time. Once annexed, the public would be afforded an opportunity to
sycak at public hearings on toning.
Council Aember -Stephens asked 41. House where he lived.
Mr. House responded that he lived due south of the annexation parcel
approximately i/1 mile along FM 1181.
Council Member McAdams asked if she understood that Mr. House was
not opposing the annexation but rather tho potential land use.
Mr. House stated that he did not want the ci,.y to be that close to
him.
Council Member WcAdams then asked if Mr. House was clear that if the
city did not annex, Denton would have no say on what land uses could
be developed and neitt,s; would he.
Mr. House responded that he did understand that.
Council ,ember McAdams teen asked in spite of that, did ;-'r. house
still not want the property annexed.
Mr. House replied that that was correct.
Mayor Pro T%!. Hopkins asked if Mr. House was opposing the anr„exatlen

Mayor Stew.,rt stated that a water tine was in place in the area.
Mr. Dick Foster spots in opposition stating that he owned 10 acres
in the proposed annexation area. He stated that he would be less
than naive to believe that someone would petition for annexation
wititout a plan for development in mind and he did not know what that
plan was. There were several hundred acres of raw land in this
vicinity which no one had bothered to look at for annexation. If hr
knew what was to be placed on the propert/, he could be pore
objective. .t the present time there were : great many mobile home
parks in this area.
Council Member McAdams asked if Mr. Foster was in the area proposed
to bu annexed.
Mr. Poster resp^nded yes.

Meeting of September S, 1985

Council Member McAdams stated that she was confused when there wss
concern regarding what was to happen on the land and yet the
property owners did not want to be ',nnexed, The city policy was, as
development begin, to annex in order to see that the development met
standards. No development haJ been started on the larger tract of
land in the area. The only control which the city had over land use
was if the property was within the city limits.
Mr. Foster stated that tha property was in the extra territorial
jurisdiction of Ob city and therefore the city had control over
what development took place.
Council Member McAdams asked if the city did not annex the property
and the developers put in mobile homes, would Mr. Foster like hat
better because it would be in the County and not the city.
Fir. foster stated thit mobile homes could not be placed on the
`roperty because the City of Uenton had control over development in
the extra territorial jurisdiction.
Mayor Stewart stated thr.t the city had no control over toning in the
cornty.
Mayor Pro Tea Hopkins asked the City Attorney to clarify this point.
UcbrA Drayovitch, City Attorney, reported that neither the City
Council nor the City of Denton had no leverage or control over
toning issues in the e.~.tra territorial Jurisdiction. The city had
no control in the area of building permits or code requirements to
be met in construction outside the city limits.
Mayor Stewart stated that develo rs could put what they wanted on
the property unless it was annexe..
Mayor Pro le!m Hntn►!ns stated that when development began to occur
which the Council did not know anything about, tacy would review the
area. Potential development keyed the mechanism for review of land
uses and a decision was then made regarding the annexation process.
Council Member Riddlesperger stated that if the land were in the
city limits, the property owners would have a say in future
development through public hearings before the City council. The
Council had a reputation for listening to the concerns of neighbors.
Mr. Poster stated that based on this new information, he wished to
withdraw his opposition to the Annexation.

Mr. Gary Mandragil spoke in opposition stating that he resided in
the other involuntary tract of the proposed annexation and was
concerned about the type of development which would occur. He had
seer, some of the plots which had been submitted and they did not
comply with the standard of homes which were being constructed ii,
the area. His land was undeveloped and suddenly there was this
develo rent with many houses. He felt the new development was
inconsistent with the type of homes in the area.
Council Member McAdams stated that this was why it was being
considered for annexation. The Council had no control over the site

Mr. Mandragil stated that he was still fearful of having too many
residences next to his property.
Council Member McAdam asked who Mr. Mandragil wanted to stop the
developers.
Mr. .Mandragil stated that he did not know if developasat would start.
Council Member McAdams asked Mr. Mandragil if he was riling to take
that risk.
Mr. Mandragil stated that he did not want to be in the city.
Mayor Stewart asked for a show of hands ot those in the audience who
were opposed to the annexation.
Mr. Oscar Blankenmeyer spoke in opposition stating that he was
concerned about the development in the area. A 40 acre mobile home
perk had been developed behind his property which had been in the
City's extra territorial jurisdiction. The city had had no qualms
about extending water, sewer and electrical service to this mobile
home park. He thought that the city did have a choice on whether to
do this or not.
Mayor Stewart responded no. If the developer paid for the services,
the city had to extend them.
Mr. blankenmeyer asked if he wanted to tie on to city utilities
could he do so.
Mayor Stewart responded yes, if he paid for it.
Mayor Pro r.sm Hopkins stated that this was how the line was
installed on FM 2181. A developer wanted the water extended and was
willing to pay for the line. As othir subdivisions occurred up the
line, they would pay a pro rata to reimburse the original investment
by the developer.
Mr. Blankenmeyer stated that the residents were shell-shocked
because there were approximately 7 mobile home parks in a 1 mile
area. He would like to see more control but not another controlled
mobile home park. Many of the present residents moved to the area
to get away and would like to see the land developed in 1 to 2 acre
plats, but not 5 homes to 1 acre.
Council Member Klddlesperger stated that the City of Denton was at
one time a small town. Growth would come whether anyone wanted it
or not. The only control was if the land was in the city limits and
then the citizens could petition their concerns before the Council.
The people who cwned the land could do anything they i~ tfor edi`ith the
property and could have utilities extendr if the
Mayor Pro Tem Hopkins stated that if the property were annexed, the
city could control dr-insge and traffic in the area. The Council
was very concerned about where streets were being placed and that
they be the correct type of street. Without annexation, the city
could do nothing about the hodge podge of gravel roads which would
be In place.
Mr. Blankeumeycr stated that he wanted to see some type of control
and if it was through the city, that would be the best way to go.
He was not in favor of any tong developing. It did seem that the
city was placing all of the developments which were not wanted
otitside the city limits.
Council Member McAdams stated that the city had no control over '.hat
development; that was up to the owners of the property.

The Mayor closed the pu'>1ic hearing.
Jeff Meyer, Director of Planning and Community Development, reported
that he would like to reiterate that In the extrs territorial
jurisdiction of Denton, the city had absolutely no control of land
use. the residents were opposed to mobile home parks but a
developer could build factories or garbaje dumps and the city would
have no control. The city di have subdivision decontrol veloper to make

area which was tar small lot single family housing. From a planning
standpoint, staff would like to see the tract annexed so control

The Council then moved an addendum item forward in the agenda order.
Addendum 1. The Council held a public hearing on a proposal to
increase the total tax revenues.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.

The Cvuncil then moved an addendum item forward in the agenda order.
Addendum 2. The Council considered establishing an ad hoc
committee for a mid-decade assessment of the goals identified in the
Denton So's study.
Council Member Stephens reported that previously he had asked the
Council what they thought of having a mid-decade assessment of the
goals identified in the Denton 80's project. As ne recalled, he had
a unanlmous confirmation that it would be a good plan. The Council
had talked about designating a Chaltman, Mr. Jerry Cott, which also
received unanimous approval. After visiting with Mr. Cott, It
appaared a good idea to make this a part of the Minutes, by main
motion, the committee could be established and the records would so
indicate. This would give the cummittee the degree of acceptan.e by
the council which was necessary. Council Member Stephens and Mr.
the Cott iLibrary andshadd worked nn aadrepresent representative committee iron of
the community, involving the Chamber and citizens from all areas.
Nt. Jerry Lott stated that, as a newcomer to Denton, those who had
chosen Denton had done so because they saw an involved citizenry and

Mayor Stewart then make a statement to the City Se.:retary. "I would
like to state that at no time Gild I preside over or attend a Council
Meeting in which it was, an ad hoc committee was formed nor a
Chairman was to be recognized."
Mayor S v wart then asked Council Member Stephens in what Minutes of
what meeting was then done.
Council Me-ober McAdams stated that she recalled that it wasltmuch
smaller at the time, :hough she did not object to expandt:.g. had
been her impression had been a 3 or 4 person committee which
basically was going to review that document and roport to the
Council where the city was in accomplishing those goals.
Originally, it had been informal; however, it now sounded like this
task was a good deal larger and mc:a formal. She felt it would be
appropriate, if in fact the Council wished to go on this scale, to
take action to approve.
Mayor Stewart stated that he wanted to make the point that there was
no Council meeting and it was not in any Minutes of any meeting that
this took place. This was not sn executive session item. It had

auuncil member McAdams stated that it was her impression that the
Council was not taking any official action but rather that someone

Council to 0o that. The Council Aid that evening, to effect, say
that was fine. At that point, she was not aware that the Council

of the Chamber of U m about

of the Chamber of CoNAerce in 1970, 19OU and they planned to do this
again in 1990. Tray were very concerned about this ha ppeaIng
without thelr knowledge. Secondly, the Cnamber did not agree that a
a a

committee should bk formed because there is an ongoing committee at
the present tlse which could provide the City Council with
information. They had provide information in 1983 and could do so
again at this time. Secondly, the city staff had concerns as it
would add a work load burden as it did in 1988. In 1980 the staff
had to do a lot of work which was supposed to be done by
volunteers. No thought had been given to what the cost would be to
the city and what staff time would be involved. In addition, there
was a new Acting City Manager and Mayor Stewart felt this additional
project might create problems over tlne next few months. Mayor
Stewart stated that he did not feel that the Council should add to
the staff's problems at this time. lie did not feel the committee
would be necessary because the information was available from the
Chamber of Commerce, He felt the smartest thing to do was not to
approve the committee or at least to table the issue for further
study before any action was taken.
Council Member Riddlesperger asked if the rition could be ameaded to
include the committee be formed in cooperatiun with the Chamber of
Commerce. if it war made clear that this committee would cooperate
with the Chamber, it seemed it would be a possibility that the
stimulus would be to get the information that the Council would like
to have regarding the progress toward the goals which were laid down
in 1980. Council Member Riddlesperger further stated that he had
been chairperson of one of the 11480 committees and had not looked
too closely to see what the status was. If approved, he would make
to make it very clear that this would be done In cooperation with
the Cha.ber of Commerce.
Council Member Chew stated that if he had heard correctly, Chuck
Carpenter's name was on the committee as an ex officio and he was
the executive of the Chamber. Therefore, the Chamber was Included
and no one was overlooking them. lie felt that the Council could get
the stimulus by having this small group review the progress on the
goals. At thls poli,t, he personally did not see where any staff
would involvement or finances involvee from the city. The idea
was to loo's at the goals and, when the idea was discussed, all of
the Council thought it was a very good idea at that time.
Council Member Hopkins asked when. He stated that he never attended
a meeting where this issue was mentioned, Someone had mentioned ore
time that perha s the Council should look at the Decisions for
1980'5 and the &ncil had said that might should be reviewed at
some time. As he understood the situation, the Chamber ha:.
conducted a study approximately Y years ago. They had in place a
committee to do this very task. It seemed a pipe dream and a lot of
staff time and poor economic situation for the city to be going into
something which would cost this much. He also agreed that it was
not a good time to place this project on the new Acting City riargv r.
Council Member ArAdams stated that it seemed fiat there had been a
miscommunication, While she recalled the conversation, she agreed
that she did not anticipated the projw to .e this extensive. She
felt In view of this, the better wisdom would be not to make a
decision at this time but to get more specific Information on what
was planned. lier impression had been that 3 to 4 people were to get
with the Chamber of Commerce and pull together information a^-i make
a report to the Council. The proposed committee was one which was a
good deal larger and It sounded rs if they were going to do a more
detailed look that she had understood from the conversation.
Perhaps a written proposal should be prepared which would outline
what was to be done and the costs and staff time which would be
associated with the project.
Council Member Alford stated that he recalled that the Council had
talked abou! a small committee, Ventrn was growing and moving so
fast, the Council did not think tt would not be out of order to do
this project. He agreed that the Chamber did have su:h a committee
but he also liked the idea of having a newcower to the community,
i
L

such as Mr. Cott, who could look at things more objectively,
participate in the review. Council Member Alford stated that he did
wan: to see Mr. Cott confused over what exectiy :ere the Council's
wishes. H• therefore agreed with Ms. McAdams that this item should
be tabled at tnis time. He felt definite guidelines should be
established first.
Council Aember Stephens stated that it had been alleged that there
had not been Chamber approval. That would depend on who had been
spoken to at the Chamber. fie had spoken to Chuck Carpenter and Or,
Carpenter had 'elt it was a super idea and was very pleased to be
involved. Ar. Carpenter had been on the Denton 80's program as had
Fred Patterson. 14r. W. C. Orr was the director of the 70's study.
Tne idea was not by any mean-, to bypass the Chamber but to involve
th•i Chamber with this committee. Part of the idea had come from the
Goals for Dallas. It was his understanding that they had a small
group which assessed goals; not to make new ones, but to keep people
informed about the achievement. That was the reason for this
issue. It was not to surplant any Chamber or any other community or
city program. It was to look at the Denton 80's publication to
track if the city was on those goals and to report to the Cot:ncil.
At that point, next Spring the Council together with the Chamber and
what other groups were appropriate could decide what to do next.
This would give the Coun..tl an idea right now of the progress being j
made on the goals established in the Denton 80's study. I
Mayor Steuart stated that Mr. Carpenter had stated that he would be 9
willing to do anything which the Council wanted his to do. Mr.
Carpenter was not the head of the Chamber. Those person! who had
contacted him were against it and if it was to 1:c done, they felt
their committee was being usurped . Also, the Council hau a
strategic planning session each quarter to tee hove the city fit into
those goals. This had been done for 3 or 4 times and In his
opinion, this new committee was unnecessary. However, if the
Council wanted to consider this committee, the item should be tabled
for review. lie di4 not know who had selectee; the members for this
,vmmittee, but the Chamber did ne)t,
Council Aember kiddlesperger stated that he wished the Council could
reach a consensus as it was the type project the Council should back
unanimously if it was going to be done correctly. However, since
the Council seemed to be divided, he asked if it would be
appropriate to table the item until the next regular meeting.
Riddlesperger motion, McAdams second to table the item until
September 17 until the council could reach a consensus.
Council .Member McAdams stated that she felt the Council should have
a draft in writing regarding what the Council expected Ar. Cott to
do. Sne apologized to Mr. Cott for the miscommunication and stated
that the council appreciated his offer to get this information to
the Council.
