Steering Committee Meeting Minutes Page 6 March 23, 1995 into the future as possible and come up with a plan. He added that the City needs to stick to that plan as much as possible, but that by reviewing the plan every five years, adjustments can be made as they are needed. ARNE ENGSTROM SECONDED THE MOTION NUMBER 1 WITH THE CONDITION THAT AREA 8 AND 11 BE STRUCK FROM THE CHRIS KREGER'S ORIGINAL MOTION. THIS AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION WAS ACCEPTED BY MR. KREGER. Chris Kreger explained that the 10 - 15 year plan included that part of Area # 1 1 which was previously blocked out. The (15 - 25) year plan would pick up area #8. He stated that he did not feel it would happen that way, in reality, because of the costs. Dave Anderson questioned whether or not Area # 13 is included in the motion. CHRIS KREGER ADDED PART OF AREA 13 TO MOTION NUMBER 1. Dick Hinkle stated that the cost would be prohibitive to put in sewer and water in the proposed area because it was too small. Terry Maurer stated that the City would have to carry a significant part of the cost initially for costs to put lines through the Highway 169 and Highway 10 intersection and UPA area, which would not be assessed. He explained that 5 - 10 year service area proposal does not extend this service area so the City would need to carry the costs at least 10 years. Rick Kurth, owner of Broadway Bar & Pizza, questioned whether or not there are plans for industrial or commercial development east of his business. Chair Minton stated that issue will be discussed at a future meeting. He stated that he did not feel there were enough businesses out there to support extending the sewer and water at this time. THE MOTION CARRIED 10-2. MERRY SIPE AND HANK DUITSMAN OPPOSED. CHRIS KREGER MOVED TO DESIGNATE AREA NUMBER 2 AS THE EXTENDED URBAN SERVICE AREA FOR THE NEXT FIVE TO TEN (5 - 10) YEARS. Wesley Hunt questioned whether or not there would be a public hearing before the second phase is implemented. Chair Minton stated that there would be a hearing before any thing was decided. Arne Engstrom explained that this is only a plan for the next 5 - 10 years and that it will be reviewed again in five years. Dick Hinkle questioned whether or not the zoning will be changed so that property owners cannot do anything with their property for the next 10 years or until sewer and water comes. Chair Minton stated that it would need to preserved somehow. Dick Hinkle stated that he wanted the property owners to be aware that the fact that they are included in the urban service district will affect the zoning of their property and what they can do with it. Mark Lucas indicated that areas and 2 and 3 should be reversed. Arne Engstrom stated that they could be combined to be just area 2. Pat Dwyer
