RESOLUTION NO. 75-664
REVISING POLICY ON REGULATING URBAN DEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, the use of private water and sanitary sewer disposal systems as are
practiced today for developments is a menace to the public health,
safety and welfare of citizens of the City of Plymouth and the
metropolitan area and threatens to cause irreparable harm to, and
pollution of, existing natural resources. and
WHEREAS, skipping over undeveloped land to permit developments places an
unreasonable burden upon the landowners, residents and taxpayers
of the City of Plymouth in that such developments cause undue financial
10 burdens upon the City for policing, providing streets, utility extension
and maintenance, fire protection and other public services, and
WHEREAS, developments located outside of areas serviced by or adjacent to the
City water and sanitary sewer system disrupts orderly planning for
future developments as well as causes undue scheduling, engineering
and fiscal problems for the City in expanding services and extending
utilities., and
WHEREAS, developments without public water and sanitary sewer systems represent
a future financial burden for the future residents of Plymouth who
must initially pay for private water and sanitary sewer systems, only
to have them ultimately replaced by public utility systems,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH
AS FOLLOWS:
1. No land in the City of Plymouth shall be platted or replatted
unless City water and sanitary sewer shall be available to
such property;
2. No development will be permitted in areas not having City
water and sanitary sewer available;

proposed development.
