COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ AND <br />MAYOR DUITSMAN OPPOSED. <br /> <br />5.10. Discussion Reqardin,q Ordinance Amendment to Allow Development in Urban <br /> District Before Utilities are Installed <br /> <br />City Planner Steven Ach explained that the city has received a request from two <br />local trucking firms to relocate their existing businesses to 171st Avenue. The City <br />Planner indicated that in order to accommodate the request of these trucking <br />firms, the current ordinance would have to be amended. He explained that <br />water and sewer is not immediately available at the relocation area, and the <br />city's ordinance does not allow development in this area without these services. <br /> <br />The City Planner reviewed two options available to the Council. One option <br />would be to amend the ordinance to allow commercial and industrial <br />development throughout the city regardless of the availability of water and <br />sewer. Another option would be to tailor a solution to the request of the two <br />trucking companies. <br /> <br />The City Administrator handed out and entered into the minutes a letter of <br />support for the two trucking operations from the Elk River Area Chamber of <br />Commerce. <br /> <br />Following discussion, it was the consensus that the council supports the businesses <br />and would like to work toward a solution that would not entail an ordinance <br />amendment for fhe entire urban area of the city. <br /> <br />5.11.
