These roadways will be required to be built once any connection including streets or alleyways is made to the unpaved arterial road by the voluntary annexation Page 5 of 12 area. The developer will receive offsets from impact fees as the adjacent unpaved arterial roadway is built. c.Proposed Access: The proposed access shown through Sumac is not adequate. Sumac is not currently dedicated right of way and is in a residential area.

The Development Engineering staff will review the drainage plans for compliance with the current drainage regulations and policies.

Additionally, as land is developed and building permits are requested, Storm Water staff reviews each permit request for compliance with the Chapters 22 (City's Stormwater permit) and Chapter 30 (Lakes and Floodplains) of the City Code. After permit issuance, inspections of the construction sites are to ensure compliance with the City Code and state regulations. Depending on the type and intensity of development within the annexed area, the need for additional personnel and budget appropriations may be needed to provide adequate customer service (development and permit review and inspections). TCEQ Stormwater permit holders will be transitioned from TCEQ oversight to City of Lubbock oversight, i.e. inspection and compliance of these existing facilities will now be the responsibility of the Storm Water Staff. There is a playa lake on this property and at a minimum, the Drainage Criteria Manual will need to be followed to address any storm water flow. Page 6 of 12 xiii. Street Li�hting a.Existing Services: None b.Services to be Provided: The City of Lubbock will coordinate any request for improved street lighting with the local electric provider in accordance with standard policy. xiv.

Water and Sanitary Sewer Services a.Existing Services: None b.Services to be Provided: Water and sewer infrastructure is not currently adjacent to this area within the existing City Limits. Availability of water and sewer is at the request and expense of the user, and shall be provided within current policies and ordinances of the City (note below for an explanation of pro-rata charges). Water and sewer for domestic and commercial use, when installed, will be available at approved City rates. Water for fire protection will be available through lines only after service lines are installed by the Owner. If estimated water usage, sewer discharge rates, and sewer quality data is submitted, requirements may need to be adjusted. c.Required Improvements: 1. The proposed site borders section lines on 3 sides. Owner shall install a 12" line from the existing 12" in East 4th Street to be extended up Sumac to Auburn, along Auburn to Wood, and back down Wood to 4th Street; Page 7 of 12 2. A second 12" feed shall be installed by the Owner. There is an existing 12" line along N Loop 289 near N Guava Ave; 3. Owner shall conduct a water and sewer study in order to ensure such services to the Property are available. Nearly all of the Property is outside of our current Water and Sewer Models and Master Plan for potential Capital Projects; 4. Water shall be looped appropriately to ensure appropriate fire flows as well as assuring no dead end water mains are left within the system once developed. The Owner shall install the water loop within three (3) years of installation of a dead end water main or upon the issuance of four-hundred (400) building permits, whichever is first; and 5. The Owner of the Property shall install a lift station in order to receive sewer services. The lift station shall be sized as to minimize the number of lift stations which will be turned over to the City of Lubbock. The lift station that serves this area shall be master planned with all LEDA-owned property surrounding the Property to accommodate full build-out flows, unless the lift station is to remain private. Sewer shall ultimately discharge into the existing 24" sewer interceptor nearby that runs N/S along Olive Ave and crosses E 4�' Street. Pro-Rata Charges: Chapter 22, City Code establishes the charges or the actual cost of construction due on all property to which water and/or sewer lines are extended. The charge is generally known as "pro-rata" and is due and payable before service is provided. The pro-rata charge represents a portion of the costs of providing water and/or sewer facilities to serve the property on which the pro-rata is paid. When a person desires water and/or sewer service to property that requires an extension of existing facilities to provide service adjacent to the property or when the service connection will be made to a line constructed after April l, 1952, the person desiring service shall pay non-refundable charge called pro-rata. When an extension of water/sewer facilities exceeds the above costs, the person(s) desiring service shall pay the entire cost and later be refunded that amount above pro-rata when other persons tie onto service and pay their pro-rata. Article 22.05 specifies other items including: a. pro-rata on property already platted, and extension of services. Page 8 of 12 b. pro-rata and extensions to property being platted c. sizes of lines and meter sizes d. location for service connection e. deposits, charges, refunds f. cost of large mains may be partially paid by City, and other consideration, or g. when the City Council can declare a health hazard and install mains at public expense. xvi. Solid Waste Services a.Existing Services: None b.Services to be Provided: Solid Waste Collection shall be provided to the area of annexation in accordance with the present ordinance. Service shall comply with existing City policies, beginning with occupancy of structures. Since there is potential residential growth within this area of annexation, impact to services has been determined to be gradual. Additional driver and equipment can be expected as new residential unit structures are occupied, and an increase in staffing and equipment will be needed for traditional alley/dumpster collection as development continues within this proposed annexation area and exceeds route collection averages. Should this annexation include no alley residential development or until alleys are serviceable, residential waste collection will be provided with carts and additional driver will be reyuired when 2,000 residential unit structures are occupied. The landfill will be able to handle this request. The only impact would be that the City could anticipate landflling additional solid waste tonnage and ultimately developing the next landfill cell sooner than currently projected. However, the developer may be asked to assist with infrastructure for residential waste collection, i.e. carts or dumpsters. c.Service Route: Until such time as adjacent unpaved roadways are built all City Solid Waste services will be routed through and upon Paved Arterial Roadways only. Solid Waste will not route trucks down unpaved roadways to service alleyways in any case. B. It is understood and agreed that the City is not reyuired to provide a service that is not included in this agreement. C. Owner understands and acknowledges that the City departments listed above may change name or be-reorganized by the City Manager. Any reference to a specific department also includes any subseyuent department that will provide the same or similar services. Page 9 of 12 4. AUTHORITY. City and Owner represent that they have full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform their obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Owner acknowledge that approval of the annexation is within the sole jurisdiction of the City Council. Nothing in this Agreement guarantees favorable decisions by the City Council. 5. SEVERABILITY. If any part, term, or provision of this Agreement is held by the courts to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability will not affect the validity of any other part, term or provision, and the rights of the Parties will be construed as if the part, term, or provision was never part of the Agreement. 6. INTERPRETATION. The Parties to this Agreement covenant and agree that in any litigation relating to this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Agreement will be interpreted according to the laws of the State of Texas.

The failure to either party to insist upon the performance of any term or provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right grated hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of that party's right to insist upon appropriate perfor►nance or to assert any such right on any future occasion. 9. GOVERNMENTAL POWERS. It is understood that by execution of this Agreement, the City does not waive or surrender any of its governmental powers or immunities. 10. COUNTERPARTS.
