PROPOSED ORDINANCES a. Consider an ordinance concerning the second and final reading of the disannexation of approximately 43.8 acres located on the north side of the I -10 feeder road, west of Thompson Road, legally known as a portion of land out of the Nathaniel Lynch Survey, Abstract 55, Harris County, Texas. City Manager Leuper presented the item and stated that the City entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) with Lake Municipal Utility District (Lake MUD) and annexed a portion of its land for limited purposes on June 27, 2005. The agreement allowed the City to impose certain regulations and to collect sales and use tax on any commercial development in the area. Since that time, the area has been developed into residential lots as West Meadows subdivision instead of the commercial uses originally proposed by Lake MUD. The City and Lake MUD agree to the disannexation of this area because there are no plans for commercial development within the West Meadows subdivision. This disannexation process follows a similar path as annexation. Notices of the first and second public hearings were published in the July 11th and July 21st editions of The Baytown Sun and mailed to property owners and interested agencies. Notices were also posted on the City of Baytown's notice board and website on July 8, 2013, and July 19, 2013. The first and second public hearings were held on July 25, 2013, and August 1, 2013.
