STAFF REVIEW OF THE SERVICE PLAN
Deputy City Manager Alan Mueller stated this property is less than one acre and is
located at the corner where Clear Creek cuts across FM 2234 to the east of FM 521. It
is a small triangular piece of property. Shadow Creek Ranch thought this property was
included in the previous annexation. The plans for the Planned Unit Development and
Page 1 of 3 — 9/13/2004
the Municipal District actually reflect that this is in the City. This annexation is a clean-
up in order to get this piece of property fully and officially within the City Limits. A copy
of the service plan has been given to Council. Because of the small size of the property
and it is open space with no particular development use, it is anticipated that all of the
Police, Fire, and EMS services would not be impacted. Those services would be
provided immediately upon annexation. There is no need for solid waste collection on
the property at this time. There are no existing water, waste water, roads, or other
public facilities specifically on the property for the City to maintain. This property is
included within all the planning for Shadow Creek Ranch. No additional Capital
Improvement in reference to this piece of property is anticipated, due to the small size of
the property. In regards to water and sewer facilities, there are trunk facilities on
Shadow Creek Parkway just to the east of Clear Creek.

None
COUNCIUSTAFF DISCUSSION
Mayor Reid stated that when discussion took place regarding the portion released by
the City of Houston into the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Pearland, he understood it to
go to the centerline of FM 521 including the filling station.
Deputy City Manager Alan Mueller stated the extraterritorial line is actually the east line
of FM 521. When the annexation was done for the area, the red line indicated on the
pictorial goes to the east along Clear Creek and back west along Shadow Creek
Parkway. He stated the filling station itself was not annexed into the City, but it is within
the extraterritorial jurisdiction. At the time the annexation was done, the convenient
store was very remote from all City facilities. It was not prudent to annex that facility at
the time. As Shadow Creek Ranch becomes more developed and there are more City
facilities and services available, then it would make sense to go ahead and annex that
portion.
Councilmember Marcott asked if the City is collecting sales tax from the filling station.
Deputy City Manager stated the City should not be collecting from the filling station.
The City does not collect sales tax within the extraterritorial jurisdiction unless it is
through an agreement.
A brief discussion ensued among Council and Staff regarding the annexation of small
parcels and zoning.

Deputy City Manager Alan Mueller stated one more Public Hearing would be conducted
September 20, 2004 for this property. The first and second reading of the Ordinance
would take place in October.
A brief discussion ensued among Council and Staff regarding the red line on the
pictorial. Deputy City Manager Alan Mueller clarified that the red line shifted off the
property. The red line should follow the property line.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:04 p.m.
