5. Public Hearing on the Robert B. and ReNae W. McFarland Annexation. Mayor Weese opened the public hearing and turned some time over to Lee Watson of Hansen and associates to discuss sewer pump station needs and he presented a concept plan that differs from the one originally submitted as the storm drain design required a different location for the detention pond. The pond location is being worked out with adjacent neighbors. These plans will go through the subdivision review process.

The agreement is to include issues such as the needed pump station initial costs and associated long term O&M costs being born by the area benefitting.

Building in excess capacity was also discussed and how impact fee differentials might be applied.

No action was taken as the attorney is to draft a development agreement covering the City s concerns and provisions of the agreement are possibly be attached to the land via a recorded instrument. Dave Deakin wants the agreement to insure us that current residents do not subsidize the annexed area. Mayor Weese asked for public input, none was given. The hearing was closed. 6.
