You, as the property owner, and any other person residing on that property shall be entitled to response and enforcement of State and local laws. You may contact the Police of the City of Wylie at 442-2222. Regular patrols will be made of your property and all local ordinances in effect within the city limits of Wylie shall immediately be in effect on your property. You may also expect the enforcement of traffic regulations on your property and its perimeter. Such requests should be expressed to the Chief of Police of the City of Wylie. FIRE FIGHTING & FIRE CODES ENFORCEMENT: Immediately following the final vote by the City Council to sign the annexation ordinance, your property and all structures or buildings which exist on the property annexed will be provided, without charge, fire fighting services. Should a fire of any magnitude occur on your property or in any structure on your property, a call to the City of Wylie Police/Fire number at 442-2222 will cause the fire department to be dispatched to the scene to combat the fire. In addition, new structures and existing structures will be subject to random inspection in order to insure the control of potentially dangerous fire hazards to both yourself and to your neighbors. ZONING AND CODES ENFORCEMENT: Immediately following the final vote by the City Council to sign the annexation ordinance your property will be subject to the enforcement of all the provisions of the current editions of the Uniform Building Code which sets forth basic policies on methods which are approved for new construction and remodeling. Such codes cover areas of construction, electrical, plumbing and mechanical and plans for any improvement on your property should be submitted following the date of annexation to the Codes Enforcement Office at City Hall for review and for the issuance of a building permit. There is a fee for this service and it is relative to the cost of the improvement. Zoning is a public process that will begin during the time your annexation is being processed. This action should be final shortly after your annexation is complete. Zoning is a public act by which the governing body of your City designates a particular use for your tract of land in order to provide for the orderly growth of the City. Any use which was in existance on your property prior to the completion of the annexation will be allowed to continue. This concept is called "grandfathered". Under the grand fathered provision, you may continue to use your property in a way that is not consistant with the zoning placed upon it by the public body; however, such use may not be expanded and if the use is discontinued it may not be reinstated. You may indicate, by signing the enclosed forms, any preference which you may have for the zoning designation to be placed upon your property. While you may not have been aware of it, while your property was in the county and was not within the city limits of any city, you did not have zoning protection; thus, your neighbors could have used their property for any purpose which may or may not have been consistant with your use or with the best use of the property in general. Zoning will protect your property and your area from that type of abuse and generally adds both to your personal security and to the value of your property. Y3 LIBRARY AND PARKS & RECREATION SERVICES: Upon completion of annexation, you and any residents of the property shall be entitled to the use of the City Library and our various parks and recreational facilities. This segment of our city services are undergoing a great deal of expansion and improvement and although they provide excellent services now, they will provide even greater service opportunities in the near future. Many of these services are provided free of charge to citizens to the City of Wylie, others are provided with the charge of a small user fee. You are entitled to pay the "in-city" rate for these services after your annexation is complete. ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES: The City provides an animal control service to deal with problems associated with the control of both and large and small animals that either wild or domestic. This service is provided through our Public Works Department which may be contacted by telephone at 442- 7588. On completion of your annexation process, you may contact this office for any questions regarding this service. STREETS & DRAINAGE SERVICES: The City of Wylie operates a department charged with the responsibility of maintaining city streets and keeping existing drainage devices flowing properly. If your property abuts or contains drainage ditches or streets which are under the City's dominion and control, you may request, upon completion of annexation, that repairs or maintenance be, performed upon these public facilities. These requests should be phoned to the Public Works Department at 442-7588. Upon receipt of your phone call and verification of eligibility these requests will be grouped and scheduled for an appropriate work period. Improvements to streets and drainage which are above the simple maintenance level involve a more complicated procedure of prioritizing and, in most cases, some form of financial participation between the City and the adjacent property owner. Should you desire this level of services, you should contact City Hall to discuss what improvements you had in mind and what financial arrangements can be made. - WATER SERVICES: The City of Wylie provides potable water service to residents within it's city limits. In certain areas there may be a previously existing legitimate water supply corporation. If such is the case on your property, then water service has already been provided. The City of Wylie will be happy to assist you in assuring that such provided service is adequate. Should you not be satisfied with services provided by such a water service, please contact City Hall with your complaints. We will be happy to act as an intermediary on your behalf to see what improvements can be made. If service is not currently available, the City, in participation with you and other property owners, will be happy to assemble a plan which provide water service within a reasonable distance from your proeprty. We have several plans available and need only arrange a meeting with you to decide which of the various plans is most suitable for your needs and financial situation. The City has numerous water service points within the area and should have little difficulty providing such service within a reasonable time after annexation. SEWER SERVICES: The City of Wylie owns it's own sewage treatment facility and has divided the City into several large lift station districts. Your property will fall into one of these districts. Sewer service is being extended throughout the City at a rapid rate. In order to obtain sewer services to your property, you will need to contact City Hall following your annexation to discuss the specifics of extending such service. In general there are fees and cost participation associated with initial provision of this service; however, each case is considered unique and only a 9~ discussion specifically involving your piece of property will be able to determine your actual fees and the time which will be necessary for such services to be provided. . 95
