SUBJECT - Thistle Hill Estates Annexation: (A-79)
Hold a public hearing regarding the proposed annexation of a 52.49 acre tract located on the
south side of Ryan Road, one hundred and filly (150) feet east of Forestridge Drive (see
Attachments I and 2)
BACKGROUND
Ryan Road Enterprises is proposing to develop the subject properly as a single-family residential
subdivision. At present, it is located in the Extra-terrilorial Juri3diction (EV) of the City of
Denton, providing the City of Denton with subdivision regulation of the development. The
dcveloper is proceeding with subdivision procedures. The Planning and Zoning Commission
approved a preliminary plat for Thistle Hill Estates Addition, providing for one hundred and
twenty-nine (129) lots, on December 28, 1998 (see Attachment 7). The proposed subdivision
design provides lots that conform to the mini+num lot area requirements of Single-family 10 (SF-
10) and Single-family t6 (SF-I6) zoning disu'cts. The developer wishes to zono the northern
mcntyone and a half (21.49) acres SF- 16 and the remaining thirty (31) acres SF-10 concurrent '
with the annexation. The final plat is under review by the Development Review Commiltee.
The development of Thistle Hill Estates subdivision will require several public improvements:
1. Right-o&way dedication along Ryan Road and proposed collector street, Watt Way.
2. Lcil-lum and right-tom lanes on Ryan Road,
3. Participation in traffic signal at Ryan Road and Teasley Lane.
4. Construction of internal streets.
5. Sidewalks along all public streets, including Ryan Road and proposed collector,
6. Extension of water and sewer lines.
7. Storm water drainage improvements.
8. Installation of fire hydrants.
9. Dedication of public utility easements.
The development is subject to the Park Dcdicution Ordinance (Ord. 98-039). A fee in lieu of
dedication will be required for the subject property, equal to the pre-development value of 0.903
acres orthe tract, during the platting process. The developer is required to pay the fees at time of
release of the final plat, Park development fete will be collected during the building permit stage
equal to $291 per lot, if the residential subdivision were completely built-out as proposed, total t
fees for pzrk development would equal $37,539 (129 single-family lots x $291 per lot). (r.
M u
I
In accordance with the City's annexation policy plan, approved In June of 1993, the City will
"assess on a case by case basis the annexation of areas in the ETJ when significant developments
are proposed." Staff has conducted a preliminary annexation assessment of the proposed
annexation in accordance with policy guidelines,
An Annexation Study end Service Plan have been prepared for Council and public review during
the annexation process (see Attachments 9 and 10). The capacity of Infrastructure such as water,
wastewater, streets and electric service and service such as police, fire, recreation, and general
government are evalui'od with respect to the proposed annexation (see Attachment 11).
This Is the second of two public hearings conducted by City Council. The schedule for public
hearings is consistent with the requirements of State Jaw (see Attachment 8).

Family 16 (SF-16) zoning districts (see Attachment 5).
The SF-16 zoning district area, covering the northern
twenty-one (20,98) acres adjacent to Ryan Road, would
contain thirty-six (36) lots, The remaining thirty-one and a
half (31,51) acres in the SF-10 zoning district would be

Analysis:
It is the general policy of the city of Denton to assess on a case-by-case basis the annexation of
areas in the ETJ when significant developments are proposed, occurring, or likely to occur in the
near future,
The following are guidelines for determining when an annexation study should be considered;
(1) Single family developments over five acres; or
(2) Multi-family, industrial or commercial development overone acre; or
i '
(3) Any area where the density exceeds 500 units per square mile; or
(4) Any development or area that might have a significant impact upon the city, including
but not limited to service costs, increased traffic, drainage impact, utility needs or
utilization, safety or health hazards.

ANNEXATION STUDY
(A-79)
Thistle Hill Estates
Guidelines for scope of study:
In studying the questions of whether or not an area should be annexed, the following criteria
shall be considered:
(1) The ability of the city to furnish normal city services equal to other comparable areas
inside the city limits.
(A) Streets and Roads: The existing road in the area, Ryan Road, will need paving
improvements. The Long Range Mobility Plan identifies Ryan Road as a secondary
major arterial and calls for a collector on the southern boundary of the proposed
development.
(13) Ifater/If'astewater Services: Water and sewer service in the area will need to be
extended, at the developer's expense, along Ryan Road. The subdivision will tic into
an existing twelve (12) inch waterline located on Ryan Road at the intersection with
Forestridge Drive and into an existing eight (g) inch gravity sanitary sewer that tuns
down Ryan Road across the entire frontage of the subject tract. This sewer line is
connected to the Granada lift station.
(C) Electric Disiribution: Idoctric distribution Is capable of providing service to the area.
(D) Solid (Waste Collection and Disposal: The city currently provides solid waste services
in the immediate area. Any development in this area will result in an increased demand
for services. Additional personnel and equipment will be necessary to provide service
to significant development in the area.
(E) Police Services: Any future development of the property will result in increased
demand for police services in the area. The area surrounding this property is already
within the city. Response time to the subject property would be comparable to that of
surrounding property in the city. No additional personnel and equipment will be
necessary to provide service to the subject development.
(F) Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services (EATS): Any future development of
the property will result in increased demand for fire protection and EMS services in the
area. The primary fire station to service the proposed subdivision will be Fire Station N
G located near the intersection of Teasley Lane and Lillian Miller Parkway, Existing
personnel and equipment can adequately serve the proposed subdivision.
(G) Parks and Recreation Services: No parks or facilities are currently adjacent to this
prvpcrty. The South Lake Park is located approximately one mile north at the
rorestridge Drive and Hobson Road intersection. In addition, a twenty-five (23) acre
park is pending dedication in the River Oaks Subdivision; this park would be located to
the south of Thistle Hill Estates, approximately three (3) miles by way of Ryan Road to ,
Teasley Lane to Ilickory Creak Road. Participation In the development of
neighborhood parks will be required as development occurs. Additional community r
facilities community and regional facilities may be necessary to provide service to the
residents of the area if significant development in the area occurs.
13. '
r
ANNEXATION STUDY
(A-79)
Thistle Hill Estates
(11) Library Services: Existing facilities cannot meet proposed annexation. Expansion
requirements cannot be determined until the forthcoming Library Master Plan Study is
completed; the results of which are anticipated in March of 1999.
(1) Cal. Enforcement, Building Inspections and Consumer Nealrh Services: Annexation
will trigger additional case work for the Code Enforcement, Building Inspections, and
Consumer Health divisions. At present, there is no excess capacity in any of these
divisions. All of these divisions are operated as enterprise funds.
(J) Planning and Development Sendces: Zoning activity will trigger additional case work
for the Planning and Development department. Presently, staff reviews all platting
activity within Division 1 of the City's F.TJ, wherein this property is located, Thus,
other than the initial zoning and the possibility of future variances, little additional
work will be placed upon staff by this properly,
(K) Ahsceilaneous: Any future development of the property will result in increased
demand for general government services in the area. Additional personnel and
facilities may be necessary to provide services to significant development in the area.
(L) Capital Improvements Program (CIP): The CIP of the city is prioritized according to
the following guidelines: (1) Provision of Capital Improvements as compared to other
areas will be based on characteristics of topography, land utilization, population
density, magnitude of problems as related to comparable areas, established technical
standards and professional studies (2) The overall cost effectiveness of providing a
specific facility or improvement. The annexed area will be considered for public
improvements in the upcoming CIP. This properly will be considered according to the
esliblished guidelines.
(2) The reliability, capacity and future public cost, If any, of current and planned
pro%Islons for community facilities such as roads, drainage, utilities, etc.
(A) S'rrects and Roads: The property's access will be via Ryan Road. The city's mobility
IN plan identifies this road as a secondary major arterial street. Several transportation
improvements will the responsibility of the developer: right-of-way dedication along
Ryan Road and proposed collector street, Watt Way; len•tum and right-turn lanes on
Ryan Road; participation in traffic signal at Ryan Road and Teasley Laae; construction
of internal streets; and sidewalks along all public streets, including Ryan Road and
Watt Way. There may be long term costs to the city to provide necessary upgrades and
improvements to Ryan Road and the proposed collector.
(B) l;arcr/ii'aste++arcr Servlces: Water distribution and wastewater collection systems are
in proximity to the property. Water and Wastewater treatment facilities have capacity.
Both are "Enterprise Funds" so that any necessary improvements will not impact the
general fund. Recently approved impact fees are deposited into the Enterprise Fund.
Extension of service lines to and within the property will be the responsibility of the
developer.

i
ANNEXATION STUDY M
(A-79)
Thistle Hill Estates
(C) Electric Distribution: Facilities to provide electric service to the property may be
necessary. Again, the electric utility is an 'Enterprise Fund" so that any necessary
improvements will not impact the general fund. Service connections will be the
responsibility of the developer. i
(D) Solid Water Collection and Disposal: Equipment to provide services to the properly
will be necessary when fully developed. The solid waste utility is also an Enterprise
Fund.
(E) Police, Fire and Emergency Medical SeMees: These departments are driven by
response time. As additional development in this area occurs, more personnel and
equipment may be necessary to maintain current response times, Fire Station N6 is
approximately two miles from this property.
(F) Parks and Recreation. Library and General Gatrrnment Senices: The demand for
these services is a function of residential population. Additional devclopment will
result in more residents, orating more demand for facilities and services in the city.
(3) The need and quality of land use and buildNii controls. Private controls will be
considered.
This property is adjacent to a Single Family 16 (SF-16) district, which is located just to the
north on the other side of Ryan Road. Control of the quality of land and building
development will be required to protect property values, ensure land use compatibility and
control density.
(4) Impact on the City, both current and long range, Including at a minlmum:
(A} Fiscal Cost and Benefirs: The proposed development plan indicates that the residential
development will have a gross density of 2,46 units per acre with significant public
benefits, including the construction of a collector on the south side of the subject tract,
(B) Tragic: Ryan Road will be the primary access point for this development until other
development occurs to complete the construction of the alternative collector streets that
will disperse traffic in other directions.
(C) Infrastrucrure near Roads, Utilities and Other Community Facilities: Water
distribution and wastewater collection systems must be extended at the developer's
expense. Both systems are currently adjacent to the property. Electric service can be
provided. Ryan Road must be enhanced in the near future. Other community facilities
may be necessary if significant devclopment occurs rapidly,
(D) Safety and lleairh: The proximity of this property to fire station #6 will provide its
adequate response times for fire and emergency services. The area is already within the (1!
police service area. Significant additional development may require additional
equipment and personnel to provide adequate response times.

ANNEXATION STUDY
(A-79)

(E) Building or Development Quality; The property is not currently zoned. The developer
is petitioning that it be zoned Single-family 16 (SF-16) on the northern twenty-one
(20.98) acres and Single-family 10 (SF-10) on the remaining thirty-one and a half
(31.31) acres. The Planning and Zoning Commission recently approved a preliminary
plat with one hundred and twenty-nine (129) lots that conform to the minimum lot size
restrictions of these two zoning districts (see Attachment S).
(F) Aesthetic Quality: The City's landscape ordinance and sign ordinance would apply to
this new development if incorporated into the City of Denton. At present, the Thistle
Hills properly is not subject to these regulations.
(G) Community Character. The existing predominant character in the area Is single family
residential development. The only adjacent residential subdivision Is the Forestridge.
It is classified as a Single-family 16 (SF-16) zoning district. This new development
will match the existing character of this subdivision on the north end adjacent to Ryan
Road
(S) Conformance with or need to ensure conformance with the offklally adopted master
plans of the city
The 1988 Denton Development Plan identifles this area as a "].ow intensity Area". The low
intensity designation is the least intense development district In the city. Residential
development of this property with appropriate neighborhood-oriented mixed use can
conform to the low intensity development standard.

SERVICE ANALYSIS
1. If annexed, can anticipated service demands be met using existing materials,
facilities, and personnel?
The District has measured capacity at each facility on the basis of ".9rnctional
capacity." This value represents the number of students that may be served by the
permanent structures located at each campus. The use of portables or other
temporary structures is not Included in the "functional capacity" calculation.
The district estimates that elementary schools will be at 100% of their functional
capacity once renovations at the Rayzor and Wilson campuses are complete.
These renovations should be completed by the 1999.2000 school year. Middle
and high schools are estimated to be at 101% and 83% capacity respectively. A
fourth middle school Is scheduled to open for the 2002 school year, adding an
additional 1,000 student capacity.
For planning purposes, the district assumes that 0.40 elementary students, 0.17
middle school students, and 0.18 high school students are generated by each
single family unit. The district estimates that this development will add 119
elementary, 51 middle school, and 54 high school students.
Considering functional capacity and plannod middle school construction, middle
and high school students may be served while additional elementary facilities will
be required. It is important to consider the rate at which this development will
build out, which will directly Impact the rate at which students will be added and
accommodated by the district.
2. If not, how many additional employees and what type of facilities and materials
will be needed to provide services?
The state mandates a maximum student to teacher ratio of 22 to 1 for elementary
classes, Considering this ratio, an additional 5.4 classrooms and an additional 5.4
tearhers wail be required.
Classroom capacity may be provided through any one or a combination of the
following:
a. temporary classrooms1portables,
b. student population transfer or absorption of awdents at other
campuses, or
c. new elementary school construction. .A e
'4 NS1 Sri nrA,A, nA,,pon„ihn 21. ,

3. Estimated additional funding needed strictly based on proposed annexation and
development.
The average cost of educating one child in the D.LS M. Is $4,321 per year,
exclusive of state or federal assistance. This cost Includes the district's existing
bond indebtedness.
4. Will projected school taxes from this development provide tbat additional
funding?
The district is subject to a statutory limit of its ad-valorem tax rate. State law
prohibits a tax rate greater than $1.50 per $100 ofvaluation. D.I.S.D. adopted a
property tax rate of $1.48 per $100 valuation for the 1998.1999 fiscal year.
A combination of residential and non-residential development that yields funds
equaling $4,321 per year (1998 value) will provide the necessary funding for one
student.
5. Please comment on the cumulative Impact of annexation and development.
Annexation has relatively limited impact on the D.I.S.D. The development site is
located within the district boundaries, regardless of annexation.
6. At what population level would other school facilities be required for the City of
Denton?
Specifications for new elementary, middle, and high school facilities have been
developed to serve student enrollments of 681, 1,000, and 2,000 respectively.
7. Is there on acceptable employee to population ratio that esn be urcd ror
planning purposes?
D.LS.D. policy and state regulations have established the following
student to teacher ratios that may be used for planning purposes:
Elementary: 22 Studentslfeocher
Middle: 28 Students/teacher
Iligh: 28 Studenw7eacher

GENERAL INFORMA 1ON, .
Applicant: Greg Edwards Owner: Charles Strafford
Greg Edwards Engineering Services Century 21 • Northstar Real Estate
300 North Carroll Boulevard, Suite D 1018 W. Oak Street
Denton, TX 76201 Denton, TX (6201
suMMAkYOF,X*NfNWOW"
The developer is requesting to be annexed into the City of Denton and concurrently zoned Single-
family 16 (SF•16) and Single-family 10 (SF-i0) zoning classification and land use designation for this
52.491 acre property. The Intention is to develop a one hundred and twenty-nine (129) residential lot
subdivislon (see Enclosure 6). As proposed, the SF-16 zoning district area would cover the northern
21.49 acres adjacent to Ryan Road and would contain thirty-six (36) lots. The remaining thirty-one
acres in the SF-10 zoning district would be subdivided into ninety-three (93) lots.
The general po!icy of the city Is to assess on a case-by-case basis the annexation of areas In the
extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) when significant developments are proposed, occurring, or likely to
occur In the near future, according to Section 34.35, concerning annexation, of Chapter 34
(subdivision and land use regulations) of the Code of Ordinances.
An annexation schedule was approved by Clty Council on February 9"' (see Enclosure 10). The
process Includes three public hearings to provide opportunity for public Input - two before City Council
and another before the Planning and Zoning Commission. After the public. hearings, City Council will
officially initiate the annexation proceedings by voting to approve the request, Including readings of
proposed ordinance. This requires two additional public meetings. Approval requires a four-fifths vote
(6 out of 7) in-favor. City Council held the first public hearing on February 14, 1999, Upon Planning
and Zoning Commission action, City Council will conduct a third public hearing on March 2, 1999, and
then Initiate the formal annexation procedure on March 23, 1999, and conclude on April 20, 1999.
The property owner has selected to exercise his right to zone the subject tract concurrent with
annexation. Section 35.14, concerning platting property not permanently zoned, of Chapter 35
(zoning regulations) of the Code of Ordinances states the policy of the city is "If the Planning and
Zoning Commission holds a hearing on proposed annexation, It may, at its discretion, at the same
time hold a public hearing upon the permanent zoning that is to be given to the area or tract to be
annexed and make recommendation on both matters to the city council so that the city council can,
if it desires, act on the matter of permanent zoning and annexation at the same time."
The subject property can develop as proposed regardless of the outcome of annexation and zoning.
If the city chooses not to annex this property, It may still develop In the City of Demon's extraterritorial
jurisdiction (ETJ). Residents living in the ETJ still attend DISD schools and pay school taxes as well
as county taxes, however would not be liable for city taxes, If in the ETJ, the development will not be
subject to any zoning regulations, but will have to comply with the land use and development 4
regulations. City utilities will be provided through private contract to the development, at an Increased r:
rate, Police services would not be provided and fire protection services would only be provided under
mutual aid request from the City of Argyle. Emergency medical services would be provided by the
Donlon fire department. All other city public facilities will be accessible to these residents.

COMPREHENSIVE ALAN AIAi»Y813 _ 4 . , r;F
1988 Denton Development Plan Analysts
The 1988 Denton Development Plan (DDP) shows this area to be within a Low Intensity Area.
These areas are Intended to be developed primarily for single family residential development.
Neighborhoods are to be serviced by a network of small commerclallrotatl centers spaced at about
IA mile Inf m,'als with direct access to a collector type street or larger thoroughfare. Vehicular trip
generation due to development within Low Intensity Areas Is restricted to 60 trips per day per acre in
order to balance land use with road c?pacity.
Staff finds the proposed development to be consistent with both the policies and trip Intensity
standards of the 1988 DDP (see Enclosure 7), The approval of annexation and the requested single-
family zoning would ensure that the property remains consistent with the City's vision for this area.
1998 Denton Plan Policies Analysis
The 1998 Denton Plan (DP) Is to be used In conjunction with the 1988 Denton Development Plan In
evaluating the consistency of proposed development with the long range vision for the city. Staff
finds the proposed development to be consistent with the pollcles of the 1998 DP (see
Enclosure 8). The Growth Manr gemenl Plan Identifies this area to be residential. There is existing
low density residential development to the north and this request for Single-family 16 (SF-16) and
Single-family 10 (SF-10) would maintain and continue this pattern,
.SPECIAL INFORMATION
1. Transportation
A. Trip generation
The proposed Thistle Hill estates would generate approximately 1,232 trips per day if built out with
one hundred and twenty nine (129) homes (see Table 1 below). This translates Into a low trip
generation compared to the 1988 DDP Intensity standards, This standard Indicates that
development in Low Intensity Areas should generate no more than 60 trips per acre to balance
vehicle demand with transportation infrastructure. The proposed subdivision would be sixty-one
percent (61%) below this threshold.

r
B. Access
The proposed subdivision would be allowed one (1) access point onto Ryan Road. It would also
be provided another one onto the proposed collector road, which will be built at an undetermined
point In the future, most likely in conjunction with development (see Enclosure 6)
C. Road Capacity
Ryan Road Is Identified as a secondary major arterial road by the 1998 Denton Mobility Plan (see
Enclosure 11). This road Is designed to be a tour (4) tone undivided street without parking,
providing four (4) lanes of through traffic. As such, its designed traffic capacity, allows for a '
tolerable traffic flow of up to 14,900 trips per day. However, Ryan Road is currently constructed
with two (2) lanes without parking. At this point, Its designed traffic capacity allows for a tolerable
traffic flow of up to 5,300 trips per day. The most recent traffic count for Ryan Road at Its west end
was 765 trips. Thls indicates that there is adequate capacity to handle the calculated trips that
could be generated by the proposed development.
D. Pedestrian Linkages
Sidewalks along all public streets are required.
2, Utilities
This site has access to extsting water and sanitary sewer lines (see Enclosure 3):
Water: a) Twelve (12) Inch watedina at the Intersection of Forest Ridge end Ryan Road.
b) Twelve '12) Inch waterfine on Ryan Road.
Wastewater: a) Eight (8) Inch gravity sanitary sewer flowing east changing into a ten (10) Inch
gravity sanitary sewer, The above sanitary sewer line ties Into the Grenada
lift station.
3. Oralnage and Topography ,
New development will be required to design and construct a drainage system to city standards.
A preliminary drainage study was required with the submission of the Thistle Hill Estates
preliminary plat, The study Included calculations of the 100-year storm for all drainage areas on
this property and any area that drains towards this property. The developer has Indicated that a
stormwater system will be constructed to handle the additional water runoff.
4. Signs
As per the sign ordinance.
5. Off-Street Parking
New development must provide parking according to the regulations of Chapter 35 (35-301) of the
Code of Ordinances. Each single-family lot shall provide two of~-street parking spaces.
8. Landscaping
This property will have to comply with the new Landscape Code, which requires fifteen (15) trees
per acre and twenty (20) percent of all surfaces to remain pervious (plantable area),
i 'ill P'Ji P! 5t.,'i 1j,1,1 .di

z
7. Open Space and Recreational Areas
This residential development will be required to participate in the development of public
recreational areas. Through the Park. Dedication Ordinance (98-039), this development will
contribute to park land dedication end park development fees. Dedication requirements are
required during the platting process, Park development fees are required prior to the Issuance of
building permits. The following Is a breakdown of the two requirements for this development:
I~
Park Land Dedication = 0.903 park acres
Park Development Fees = 129 single-family lots x $291 per lot = $37,539
A fee in lieu of dedication will be required because the calculation is less than five (5) acres. It will
be equal to the Pre-development value of 0.903 acres of the tract. The developer Is required to
pay the gees at time of release of the final plat,
PROPERTY HISTORY'
The subject property Is located within the City of Denton's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
January 27, 1999 - The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary plat for Thistle
Hill Estates Addition, which provides for one hundred and twcity-nine (129) Vs. A final plat Is
required prior to any development. The Development Review Committee is reviewing the final plat
at this time,
PUBLIC NOTICS I
Notice of the zoning request was published in the Denton Record-Chronicle on February 14, 1999,
Four (4) property owners were notified of the request on February 12, 1999 (see Enclosure 4), As of
this writ ng, there have been no responses, A courtesy notice was maiicd to all residents, who live
v,ithin the city limits and are within five hundred (500) feet of the subject property. No neighborhood
m3eting has been held.
RECOMMENDATION i
Staff recommends approval of A-79 for annexation. The annexation service plan and study (see
Enclosures 11 and 12) Indicate that the area can be served. If the property Is not annexed, utilitias
and services would still serve it, but city taxes would not be collected. The request is consistent with
both the 1988 DDP policies and the 1998 DP policies (see Enclosures 7 and 8).
Staff recommends approval of Z-98-058 for Single-family 18 (SF-16) and Single-family 10 (SF-10)
zoning district designations. The request is consistent with both the 1988 DDP policies and the 1998 { v
DP policies (see Enclosures 7 and 8). rho proposed development provides for a compatible
arrangement of land uses and protects existing land uses. in addition, the proposed subdivision
design provides for safe and adequate traffic circulation,

budgets. However, these impacts will be considered as part of the City's annual budget
process and approved by the City Council as part of the annual budget.
In addition, certain capital items should be put in the City's Five-Year Capital Improvements
