concerns are the type of development, lot size and to retain the country atmosphere. He asked that Council
consider putting off the annexation unless the developer agrees to build 2-acre minimum lots and have the same
type of neighborhood as the Surrounding area rather than suburban lats. Mr. Gilley also inquired as to what is now
proposed.
Ms. Manson stated that nothing has been submitted and described the process used by the City of Wylie for
voluntary annexation. She stated newly annexed property is classified as "A"Agriculture and remains until the
property owner requests rezoning.

that East Fork would supply the water and the City would be responsible for sewer and streets. There was some
discussion regarding the proposed LakeshoreDrive. Ms. Manson stated that this was part of the Concept Plan as
