yards, and fewer intersections. Mr. Shehan stated that the developer of Crestview Estates would

REGARDING ITEM 6 AGENDA
To: Joe Price, City Manager
From: Danny Cornelius, Director of Planning and Development
Date: January 6, 2020
Re: Conduct First Public Hearing on Ordinance No. 1121 Annexing Property for
Hunsley Substation Unit No. 1.
Ordinance No. 1121 has been developed to annex property owned by Southwestern Public
Service Company at the southwest corner of FM 2590 and Hunsley Road. The property is the
future site of an Xcel Energy Substation. The City Commission recently adopted the annexation
calendar and both public hearings as required by Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government
Code are scheduled for this meeting. As we discussed at our last meeting, Chapter 43 requires
that the hearings be conducted “on or after the 40th day but before the 20th day before the date”
of the final adoption of the annexation ordinance. That limited time frame makes it necessary
to hold both public hearings at the same meeting. According to the Texas Municipal League’s
General Counsel, this process is acceptable.
This is the first of 2 required public hearings for Ordinance No. 1121.

To: Joe Price, City Manager
From: Danny Cornelius, Director of Planning and Development
Date: January 6, 2020
Re: Conduct First Public Hearing on Ordinance No. 1122 Annexing Property for
Canyon East.
Ordinance No. 1122 has been developed to annex property owned by Kuhlman & Sons, LP.
The property will be developed as an extension of the Canyon East Subdivision. The City
Commission recently adopted the annexation calendar and both public hearings as required by
Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code are scheduled for this meeting. As we
discussed at our last meeting, Chapter 43 requires that the hearings be conducted “on or after
the 40th day but before the 20th day before the date” of the final adoption of the annexation
ordinance. That limited time frame makes it necessary to hold both public hearings at the
same meeting. According to the Texas Municipal League’s General Counsel, this process is
acceptable.
This is the first of 2 required public hearings for Ordinance No. 1122.
