AGENDA CAPTION:

Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on an Ordinance Approving a Boundary Adjustment Agreement with the City of Farmers Branch for a Portion of Midway Road from Spring Valley Road to the Addison City Limits Located North of W. Beltwood Parkway, Approving the Annexation of the Area Within Midway Road that is Released by the City of Farmers Branch, Approving a Service Plan for the Annexed Area and Approving an Easement for Utilities to the City of Farmers Branch for Utilities Lying Under the Exchanged Portion of Midway Road, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Necessary Documents Related to These Matters.

BACKGROUND:

A portion of Midway Road, generally described as the easternmost lane from the intersection with Spring Valley Road to just north of W. Beltwood Parkway, is within the city limits of the City of Farmers Branch. The remainder of the 6-lane roadway from the intersection of Spring Valley Road to the northern city limits at the intersection with Keller Springs Road is in the city limits of Addison.

As a part of the Farmers Branch Creek settlement with the City of Farmers Branch and in order to facilitate the reconstruction of Midway Road, it is proposed that the city limits of the City of Farmers Branch and the Town of Addison be adjusted so that the entire roadway is within the city limits of the Town of Addison. The City of Farmers Branch will release the portion of the roadway to be annexed into the Town of Addison. There are no residents or businesses that are directly affected by the change, as such there will be no impact on the residents or businesses of either city, nor is there any loss of ad valorem or sales tax base by either city.

The City of Farmers Branch will reserve a utility easement for the purpose of maintaining, repairing, removing, and replacing its water and sanitary sewer lines, storm sewer and drainage structures within the easement area. The Town of Addison agrees not to construct any improvements in the easement area that would interfere with the City of Farmers Branch’s use of the easement without the prior written consent of the City of Farmers Branch. The City of Farmers Branch agrees to repair and replace, to the Town of Addison's then-existing standards at the City of Farmers Branch’s sole expense, all paving, curbing, fencing, walls, shrubbery, trees and landscaping located in the easement and the adjacent Midway Road right-of-way, to the extent that such is damaged by the City of Farmers Branch's use of the easement area.

The Town of Addison will be responsible for and will provide municipal services such as police and fire protection, solid waste services, maintenance of the roadway, installation and maintenance of the lighting system, storm drainage, capital improvements, and code enforcement for the newly annexed area.

The proposed Ordinance includes the Boundary Adjustment Agreement, the Municipal Service Plan, and the Easement for the City of Farmers Branch’s utilities.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
