Sections 245.002(a)(2) and 245.002(a-l) of the Texas Local Government Code. The plan for the

developed under the rules and regulations currently applicable to the Property and in the manner
shown on Exhibit C.

Consent is an authorization to initiate proceedings to create the District as provided by law, and
this Request is a request for authorization that Owner must obtain to perform an action or
initiate, continue, or complete the Project for which the Permit is sought.

WHEREFORE, Owner respectfully prays that this request be in all things granted, and
that the City of Denton give its written consent to creation of the Davis Municipal Utility District

lying wholly within Denton County, Texas, the boundaries of which land to be included in the
District are described by metes and bounds in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein
015815.00010:962758.01
for all purposes (the "Prooertv"). All of the Property is within the City's extraterritorial

"Project"), which plan for development is hereby filed with the City pursuant to the authority of
Sections 245.002(a)(2) and 245.002(a-l) of the Texas Local Government Code. The plan for the
Project requires that the Property be developed with District improvements, including, but not
limited to, water, wastewater, road, and drainage improvements. The Project is intended to be
developed under the rules and regulations currently applicable to the Property and in the manner
shown on Exhibit C.
V.
Owner holds title to all of the land within the proposed District and is the owner of all the
value of the land therein as shown on the tax rolls of Denton County, Texas.
VI.
The general nature of the work proposed to be done by the District at the present time includes
all work that the District is authorized to perform by the Constitution of Texas and by the
applicable provisions of the Texas Water Code including, but not limited to, the purchase,
design, acquisition, construction, jmprovement, extension, maintenance, repair, and operation of
infrastructure, improvements, facilities, equipment, systems, plants, appliances, enterprises, and

water available, and the terrain of the Property is such that a waterworks system, a sanitary sewer
system, a road system, and a drainage and storm sewer system can be constructed at a reasonable
cost.

the District.

creation of the District, whether that consent be by ordinance or resolution of the City or

City's Consent is an authorization to initiate proceedings to create the District as provided by
law, and this Request is a request for authorization that Owner must obtain to perform an action
or initiate, continue, or complete the Project for which the Permit is sought.
XII.
