Consider moratorium on subdivisions for property outside the City sewer and water district, Public Hearino - #OA 94-2 e City Planner Steve Ach requested the Council to consider establishing a twelve month moratorium on subdivisions of land outside the city's current urban service area. He explained that during the process of updating the comprehensive plan, the possibility of extending sewer and water to the eastern area of the city will be studied. He stated that with the uncertainty of the exact area that will be served by the utilities, it is important to preserve a potential service area by prohibiting further subdivisions of land into parcels less than ten acres in size. Mr. Ach stated that the purpose of the moratorium is to preserve the planning process. Council member Scheel indicated that it is unfair to the people that will be affected by this moratorium. She indicated that she does not see an advantage to the City or the residents. She indicated that it will be unprofitable for anyone wishing to subdivide their property during the moratorium. City Attorney Peter Beck indicated that the moratorium is planned for one year and further indicated that the Council can amend it at anytime. He further indicated that the purpose of the moratorium is to protect the opportunity to extend utilities to the east. e Mayor Duitsman indicated his concern regarding the moratorium affecting the possible commercial and industrial businesses that may require a subdivision of less than ten acres. Steve Ach indicated that the moratorium would affect commercial and industrial property, however, amendments can be made to accommodate any situation.
