• 3. Petition the city to have water and sewer extended to serve their <br /> property and allow the development to occur. <br /> Besides the issue of city water and sewer, staff has also identified some <br /> issues relating to traffic and the possible need for developing a frontage road <br /> concept similar to the frontage road currently being constructed from Joplin <br /> to Waco. Secondly, the city engineer has indicated options are still being <br /> explored to extend Waco Street across Highway 10 and ultimately, the Elk <br /> River. There is a chance that the realignment of Waco Street may involve a <br /> portion of the subject property to be developed. <br /> Allowing this type of development to occur prematurely is contrary to the <br /> city's growth management control policies and the existing zoning ordinance. <br /> Staff would encourage the City Council to carefully consider this issue <br /> because of the ramifications that will occur as a result of"premature (leap- <br /> frog) development" without any water and sewer. This situation of managing <br /> growth in the urban service area will be applicable to the east Highway 10 <br /> corridor when water and sewer is extended. Therefore, depending upon the <br /> Council's decision on this matter, a precedent may be set, further <br /> • complicating the efficiency to serve the east Highway 10 corridor with city <br /> water and sewer. <br /> I would be happy to answer any questions the Council may have prior to <br /> Monday night's meeting. Please feel free to contact me at 441-4902, <br /> otherwise, I will be prepared to answer questions at Monday night's meeting. <br /> • <br /> s:council:chubakin <br />
