3. Citizen's Input.
Dale Tucker, 6568 Michael Road, indicated he has always called Sanger Texas his
home. He spoke about the property between the railroad and Indian Lane. He did not
believe the current infrastructure was ever considered, there is only one way in and
one way out of the proposed subdivision and the eventual build out will require a traffic
signal at FM 455 and Sable Creek Blvd. Demographically there will be a minimum of
U5 automobiles traveling in and out daily. During peak times when students are going
to school and with people going to work this intersection is a place of which should be
avoided. It's not possible to always avoid those intersections during peak times. This
will cause a back up of traffic. Considering the roads to be constructed in the
development emergency service will be difficult. Safety should be a major concern.
The development has a planned 12 acre park, with limited access. Citizens should live
in a place that is part of the city, not that is within the city limits. He asked that the
Planning and Zoning Commission release the information they used to approve the
development. He asked that the borders of Indian Lane be completed as planned, and
that infrastructure be established so that in the future development may be accessed
from Willow Street and Bolivar Street. These are not proposals that should be
considered from why we can't but rather how it can be done.
Jerry Jenkins, 2507 Chippewa Trail, asked if the city could request another traffic
survey at the intersection of F.M. 455 and 5' Street for consideration of a traffic light
due to the increased traffic caused by the relocation of the high school.

Presentation by K.D. Development (Johnson/Pa47 0
Kirk Wilson, indicated there were two proposed development agreements before them
tonightI these were discussed in Council 4 to 6 weeks ago. Several points were
discussed in detail. All of the points have been integrated into the agreements before
them tonight. Both developments have a commercial area shown separately in the
proposal. Both are in compliance with what was discussed previously. They will bring
land use plans forward at a later date. They will submit for annexation all of the
commercial tracts. It allows for the residential home tracts to not be annexed. The
district will agree to pay the city 22 cents per $100 valuation for police and fire
protection. There is specific approval for the creation of the district. They could go
to TCEQ and create the district. They have also agreed to negotiate with Bolivar
Water to release their CCN on these tracts. Everything the Council has asked for is
included. Deed restrictions on home sizes will be included. Lot count provisions as far
as lot widths are included. In the Chisam Road project, 70% is committed to be 50 foot
tot widths or greater, 15 %will have 60 ft. lot widths or greater, and 15% will have
70 ft. lot widths or greater. They will also follow up with an annexation petition
within ten days of approval for all commercial tracts to be taken into the City Limits.
Councilman Ervin indicated he could not make a decision with just seeing this tonight.
I{irk Wilson indicated he would like to follow up within the next 7 to 10 days.
Schedule workshop for next Monday at 6;00 p.m. (April 12, 2004)

11. Consider and Possible Action on Awarding Bid for the Wastewater Treatment Plant
Sludge Dewatering System.
Discussed that this was part of original project, just bid out separately.
City Manager indicated currently we have drying beds. This is for two dewatering
systems and will not take up as much room.
Councilman James indicated he would like more information in the future on this type
of item.
Councilman Garza moved to award the bid to Mechaneer for $63,088.00. Councilman
Higgs seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
12. Consider and Possible Action on Resolution #04-08-04 -Urging the Texas Railroad
Commission to Stop the Construction of a Commercial Disposal Well.
City Manager indicated if this gets approved they will be putting chemicals into the
ground. If TCEQ approves this, then they will feel sure that it will not contaminate our
ground water, but if it is not put in we know for sure it will not contaminate the ground
water.
Dale Tucker, 6568 Michael Rd., indicated they are asking that the City of Sanger to
adopt a Resolution that will be submitted to Texas Railroad Commission that they do
not want the disposal well in their ETJ, it will have some weight with all of the joint
resolutions. They have a citizens group of residents greater than a 2 mile radius of this
proposed site. They have raised over 10,000 dollars, and hired two attorneys. The
public hearing on this has been postponed until May 14th. They are hoping the Council
will adopt the resolution. Basically everything can be dumped at one of these sites
They will have 12,000 gallons of storage on the 2 acre lot. There will be twenty four
500 gallon barrels, with approximately 75 trucks daily.
Discussed process of how chemicals are separated and what happens to them at one of
these locations.
The well in Krum is a disaster, there are all kinds of fluids all over the place, it is not
well contained, and when it rains it washes down the drainage ditch.
Discussion continued.
Councilman Higgs moved to approve the resolution contingent on attorney approval,
Councilman Ervin seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
