A lengthy discussion followed regarding the development as a
special case (Municipal Utility District), because, by ordinance,
it does not come under any of the City's zoning requirements, only
under its platting requirements. Also Staff recommends there needs
to be a variance request of a 15' aggregate in the final plat in
the event the development is annexed before it is finished or if
there is a disaster where the homes have been destroyed 51% or more
and would have to be rebuilt according to ordinance requirements.
