Service Plan for the Annexation of a 35.43-Acre Tract Pursuant to the provisions of the Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 43, Subchapter C-1, Section 43.065, the following service plan is hereby adopted for the annexation of a 35.43-acre tract, as described in Exhibit A. The property is being annexed at the request of the owner of the property, Jane Hughson. The land included in the annexation is vacant with the exception of one house currently under construction by the owner of the property. 1. Police Protection: Police services, including patrolling, response to calls and other routine services, will begin on the effective date of the annexation using existing personnel and equipment. 2. Fire Protection: Fire protection services, including emergency response calls, will begin on the effective date of the annexation using existing personnel and equipment, and within the limitations of the available water supply. 3. Emergency Medical Services: Emergency medical services, including emergency response calls, will continue at the same level of service after the annexation. The City of San Marcos contracts for emergency medical services through San Marcos - Hays County EMS, which already provides service to the area being annexed. 4. Solid Waste Collection: Solid waste collection services, provided under contract with Browning Ferris, Inc., will be made available to all residences on the effective date of the annexation. Residents of the annexed area may eject to continue using the services of a private solid waste hauler for a period of two years after the effective date of the annexation. Businesses and institutions must make arrangements with private solid waste haulers. 5. Operation and Maintenance of Water and Wastewater Facilities: Water and wastewater services are currently in place near the perimeter of the property being annexed, and may be accessed for the provision of service to the property, subject to the city's utility connection policies. Operation and maintenance of existing water and wastewater facilities in the area of the annexed property are the responsibility of the City of San Marcos. Due to the extremely low density of the development on land included in the annexation (one home on 35 acres) and the steep terrain of the area, the owner of the property may elect to use a private water well and a private, on-site wastewater disposal system. This level of service is comparable to what would be offered to owners of property in other areas of the city with similar land uses, terrain and density. PAGE 1 of 2 of EXHIBIT J3
