Title
Approving an ordinance on second reading with the caption reading: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS, ANNEXING FOR FULL PURPOSES APPROXIMATELY 20.2 ACRES OF LAND OUT OF THE S. EISELIN SURVEY NO. 4, ABSTRACT 265 AND T.S. BARNES SURVEY NO. 46, ABSTRACT 67 IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, CONSISTING OF THE E. PECAN ST.

This condition results in a disparity of levels of service for maintenance of the road, the right-of-way, and its overall appearance. Annexation of the road and adjacent right-of-way enables the City to exert full control of these functions and offers an opportunity to improve the right-of-way and/or medians to a higher standard in the future with streetscape enhancements. Such enhancements would act to provide a visible linkage between the urbanized community to the west and the emerging development potential along East Pecan Street and more particularly its intersection with SH 130.

This proposed annexation is exempt from annexation plan requirements in the Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 43.
