The District shall be organized under the terms and provisions of Article III, Section 52 and Article XVI, Section 59 of the Constitution of Texas, Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code, and Chapter 8478, Texas Special District Local Laws Code. The proposed District will contain an area of approximately 571.898 acres of land, situated within Hams County, Texas, described by metes and bounds in Exhibit 'A" attached hereto and incorporated herein. The District is wholly within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Baytown, Harris County, but it is anticipated the land in the District will be annexed into the corporate limits of the City in the near future. 000395.000001\4830-1961-7619.v1 IV. The undersigned constitute a majority in value of the holders of title to the lands in the proposed District, as shown by the county tax rolls and conveyances of record since the date of preparation of said county tax rolls. V. The proposed District shall be organized for the following purposes: (1) provide a water supply for the District for municipal uses, domestic uses and commercial purposes; (2) collect, transport, process, dispose of and control all domestic, industrial, or communal wastes whether in fluid, solid, or composite state; (3) gather, conduct, divert and control local storm water or other local harmful excesses of water in the District; (4) design, acquire, construct, finance, improve, operate, and maintain macadamized, graveled, or paved roads, or improvements in aid of those roads; and (5) such other construction, installation, maintenance, purchase, and operation of such additional facilities, systems, plants and enterprises as shall be consistent with the purposes for which the District is organized. The aforementioned purposes may be accomplished by any mechanical and chemical means and processes incident, necessary or helpful to such purposes, to the extent authorized by law and the creation of the District, to the end that public health and welfare may be conserved and prompted and the purity and sanitary condition of the State's waters protected, effected and restored. VI. The general nature of the work to be done by and within the District at the present time is: (i) the construction of a water distribution system for domestic and commercial purposes; (ii) the construction of a sanitary sewer system; (iii) the control, 000395.000001\4830-1961-7619.v1 abatement and amendment of the harmful excess of waters and the reclamation and drainage of overflowed lands within the District; (iv) the construction of macadamized, graveled, or paved roads, or improvements in aid of those roads; and (v) such other construction, installation, maintenance, purchase, and operation of such additional facilities, systems, plants and enterprises, all to the extent authorized by law from time to time. VII. There is a necessity for the improvements above described because the District is located within an area which will experience a substantial and sustained residential and commercial growth within the foreseeable future, is urban in nature and is not supplied with adequate water, sanitary sewer, drainage facilities and services, and roads. The health and welfare of the future inhabitants of the District require the provision of adequate water, storm and sanitary sewer facilities and services, and roads. The provision of such water, storm and sanitary sewer facilities and services, and roads will conserve and preserve the natural resources of this State by promoting and protecting the purity and sanitary condition of the State's waters, and will promote and protect the public health and welfare of the community; therefore, a public necessity exists for the organization of said District. The property cannot be developed without the creation of the District to finance the water, sanitary sewer, drainage facilities and services, and roads; therefore a public necessity exists. 000395.000001\4830-1961-7619.v1 The proposed improvements are practicable and feasible, in that the terrain of the territory to be included in the proposed District is of such a nature that water, storm and sanitary sewer facilities and services, and roads can be constructed or provided at a reasonable cost; and said territory will be rapidly developed primarily for residential purposes with some commercial and retail use. IX. A preliminary investigation has been instituted to determine the cost of the proposed project, and it is now estimated by those filing this petition, from such information as they have at this time, that the ultimate cost of the project contemplated will be approximately $50,000,000.00. X. The undersigned request consent to the creation of the District encompassing the land described in the attached Exhibit "A." XI. WHEREFORE, the undersigned respectfully pray that this Petition be granted in all respects and that the City Council of the City of Baytown, Texas, adopt a resolution giving its written consent to the creation of the District. 000395.000001\4830-1961-7619.vl RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this the day of J goe,&- 2017.
