Mr. Petty then presented an annexation map of Allen and reviewed the territory now within the corporate city limits and pointed out the areas remaining in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. Using a color -coded map, Mr. Petty then reviewed the areas of the city that are fully developed, areas that currently have development in progress, and those areas where developments have been approved and breaking ground is pending. Update on Development - Plano (Agenda Item III -B) Bob Buffington, Director of Community Development for Plano, reviewed again the location of the community college site, advised of development near the boundary with Allen on the west side of U.S. 75, advised that development in an east section of Plano would not take place for quite some time due to lack of utilities in that area, and advised of the current status of the EDS deve- lopment in the west portion of Plano. Report on Telephone Extended Area Service (Agenda Item IV) Using a map, Jon McCarty, City Manager for Allen, reviewed the location of the 727 exchange in Allen and Plano, explained the City of Allen's request for Extended Area Service (EAS) and the procedure that had been developed to try and obtain that service and the city's status in the process at this time. The Councils discussed what Plano could do to help Allen in this situation since part of the 727 exchange was in Plano. Discussion also covered why Dallas is opposed to this request and the need to perhaps meet with Dallas City Council on the matter. Plano city staff also pointed out that having the 727 exchange as long distance also posed a problem for the 911 emergency service that Plano is seeking to have installed. Mayor Harvard pointed out to Allen officials that he is a member of the Metroplex Mayors' Association and that it might be helpful if Allen were to join the association, thus providing a means of meeting and communicating with other metroplex mayors and discussing this problem and others that effect cities in the metroplex. Plano officials also advised Allen officials of a meeting that they were holding with the telephone company regarding the 911 emergency service on Thursday, February 13th, and invited anyone interested to attend. The Plano Council discussed adopting a resolution sup- porting Allen in their quest for Extended Area Service. 5S ALLEN CITY COUNCIL/ PLANO CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 11, 1966 Page 3 Thoroughfare Update - Plano (Agenda Item V-A) Jerry McGuire, Assistant City Manager for Plano, pre- sented a drawing of roadway improvements to be made to U.S. 75 from city limits to Springcreek Parkway. He reviewed the /- improvements to be made and advised of the time period for completion of the project. The Councils discussed if improvements would be made to service roads along U.S. 75, specifically in the area of Rowlett Creek and the addition of a bridge in that location. Thoroughfare Update - Allen (Agenda Item V -B) Using a map of street improvements in Allen, Jon McCarty City Manager of Allen, reviewed roadway improvements in Allen that had been part of the recent bond election and projects that had been approved by the state for their participation. Those roadways are F.M. 2170, State Highway 5, and U.S. 75. Discussion on Boundary Adjacent (Agenda Item VI) to Chaparral Allen City Manager Jon McCarty pointed out the location of the old Uland Egg Farm, being east of State Highway 5 and north of Chaparral Road. Mr. McCarty advised that this location had been in Plano for many years and according to the boundary agreement with Plano, this area would eventually become part of Allen. Mr. McCarty advised that the City of Allen can provide water and sewer utilities to that location easier than the City of Plano and the property owners are aware of that. Mr. McCarty pointed out that there presently exists on the site a beer and wine store. The owners of the property are concerned that if they become annexed to Allen that an election might be held to eliminate the sale of beer and wine at that location. Gary Chatman, City Attorney with Plano, advised that per Plano's City Charter in order for Allen to annex the property, the property owners must request disannexation from Plano. City Manager McCarty pointed out that he had held discussions with the pro- perty owners and this issue might be forthcoming in the near future. General Discussion The council discussed the extension of Jupiter Road from Allen city limits into Plano city limits and the status of that project to Plano. Mayor Pro Tem Joe Farmer, from Allen, advised of the greenbelt/linear park study being conducted by the City of Allen and the fact that a member of the committee on this study repre- senting the City of Plano had terminated with the city and needed to be replaced. City Manager Bob Woodruff advised that a replacement had been made with the appointment of John Rainwater, with Plano's Parks and Recreation Department. Bill Petty, Director of Community Development in Allen, advised of the redesign of the bridge on Alma Road over Rowlett Creek and the work between the City of Allen and Plano on this project and the need to regulate how this construction will impact that area.
