The Council held a discussion regarding a preliminary plat of the Sunmount Addition for the purpose of determining whether to begin the annexation process. Lloyd Harrell, City Manager, stated that a preliminary plat had been presented to the Planning Department and that staff would like direction from the Council on whether to begin the annexation process. Cecile Carson, Urban Planner, stated that the property abutted the City limits. The proposed use of the property was for an asphalt batch plant. The area was a low intensity area and the proposed usage would not be consistent for the land use of the area. Frank Robbins, Executive Director of Planning, stated that there was a land use incompatibility and intensity problems. There were 12 acres of land in the proposal and not all of it would probably be used for building. Some advantages for the usage were an increase in the tax base and the developers had agreed to help straighten Nall Road. Alternatives for the Council to consider were: (1) annex the area as quickly as possible before the development was completed, (2) annex the property at a later date when the development was completed, and (3) not annex the area until utility services would be brought to the area. Staff was recommending Option (2) which would begin the annexation after development and then annex the property as a non-conforming use. Don Cross, Sunmount representative, stated that this would be a long term commitment. He felt they had done considerable research in the area and the site would be compatible for the type of development they were suggesting. The plant would be a new plant with no odor and would employ 20-25.people. They had agreed to install a security fence around the property, upgrade Nall Road to Hyw. 380 at their expense, and suggested viewing a similar site on Hyw. 114 as an example of the quality of building. He asked the Council to consider Option (2). City Manager Harrell reviewed the options for the Council's consideration: (1) begin the annexation process as quickly as possible, Sunmount would continue to plat, at the end of 90 days a determination would be done as to how far along development was for zoning; (2) continue the plating process, annex later and consider the use as non-conforming; (3) annex much later or not at all. City of Denton City Council Minutes February 1~, 1988 Page 3 475 Consensus of the Council was to proceed with Option (2) - annex after development had begun.

He'' stated that Safety Clean was a 24 hour operation with bright' lights on at night, trucks coming in and out 24 hours a day and shift workers coming and going from the plant 24 hours a day. He was concerned with complaints from future neighbors who would not want that type of situation around their home and perhaps later try to shut down the operation. The Mayor allowed B. Burke 5 minutes for rebuttal. Burke stated that there was a one to one and a half story difference in elevation between the two properties. The developers were already aware of Safety Clean. They were working for a transition in the area from industrial to residential. He felt that they were orientating the residential portion of the development away from the industrial uses to the south. The Mayor closed the public hearing.
