the site contains no residences or businesses.

annexation area. The City shall provide a level of services, infrastructure and
infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to the level of services,
infrastructure and infrastructure maintenance available in other parts of the city
with topography, land use and population density similar to those reasonably
contemplated or projected in the area.
The desired water and wastewater service options and the phasing of the
improvements will be determined as a part of the land development and platting
process. The financial responsibilities for funding water and wastewater system

population density. Thus, no construction of public improvements is contemplated as a
result of this annexation that would begin within two and a half (2 ½) years after the

land use, and population density.
UNIFORM LEVEL OF SERVICES MAY NOT BE REQUIRED
Nothing in this plan shall require the City to provide a uniform level of full municipal
services to each area of the City, including the annexed area, if different characteristics of

providing different levels of service.
