Aubrey residents with questions about how new subdivisions and roads get approved will have a chance to ask two local officials directly Tuesday night.

Denton County Precinct 1 Commissioner Ryan Williams and Aubrey Mayor Chris Rich are hosting a community information session on growth and development at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 226 Countryside Drive in Aubrey.

According to Williams' precinct newsletter, the evening will walk through the development process, the separate roles and responsibilities of cities and counties, infrastructure concerns, and how continued growth affects area communities.

The newsletter says the aim is to help residents understand how development decisions are made, what authority local governments have, and the challenges that come with a fast-growing area, with time set aside for questions.

Officials may attend, but no votes

The city has posted a notice that members of several city bodies could be in the room: the City Council, the Aubrey Municipal Development District, the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Board of Adjustment, the Aubrey Area Library Board and the Parks and Recreation Board.

The notice says a quorum is possible but not certain, and that no official action will be taken by any members who attend the presentation.

Growth on recent agendas

The session follows a stretch of large development items at City Hall. The council's Oct. 22 agenda included financing for the Sherman Ridge development, zoning and a public improvement district covering about 236.8 acres for Covey Creek off Coffey Road, a public hearing on a roughly 166-acre Bridleridge public improvement district, and an amendment to the city's Palomino development agreement with Lennar Homes.

Questions for Williams' office can go to 940-349-2810.
