Development (Johnson/Payne),
Kirk Wilson indicated on each one of the memorandums there were six items that they
wish to discuss tonight, and may possibly integrate into their proposal.
One of them is park land dedication. They would like to dedicate land if the Council
feels it will be a benefit. The second item is that they will donate up to three acres of
civic land. They will give one 3 acre tract out of one of the two developments. They
will agree to use Sanger Electric. They agree to make a one time donation of $25,000.00
for each development to the Sanger Park Fund. They will agree to donate 12 acres for
a school site. They will agree to minimum residential lot square footage to be 5500
square feet.
Councilman James asked if they had discussed the school land donation with the Sanger
ISD.
Mr. Wilson indicated they have not. They will discuss with them whether they would
prefer to have two school sites or one large site.
Councilman Evans asked if this was on the last agenda to schedule a public hearing for
annexation.
Staff indicated it was.
Discussion.
Councilman Evans indicated he felt the best thing for the citizens was to annex it in,
and for the residents to pay the full amount of the taxes.
Mr. Wilson indicated the project will not be done as it is being contemplated if they are
brought within the city limits.
Discussion regarding park land dedication.
Mayor asked if the Council requested they bring it all into the City limits initially, what
would happen.

under the general framework they have proposed, and they have no plans to the
alternative right now.
Discussion regarding annexations.
Discussion regarding marketing of the commercial frontage property.
Councilman Evans asked if they got half way through it and it doesn't take off, what
will happen.
Mr. Wilson indicated they would be on the line for the portion of the land that they
own. Each property owner would be responsible for a percentage of the bill.
Discussed issues relating to the bonds.

community than they would pay living in the city limits.

They indicated about $21,000.00.
