ARTICLE II
DEVELOPMENT WITHIN CITY GROWTH AREAS
2.1
General Agreement. The City and the Town covenant to take action, or refrain from taking action, as set forth in this Article II, with respect to those areas delineated as City Growth Areas.
2.2
Town Covenants. The Town agrees as follows concerning the City Growth Areas:
(a)
The City may condition any extension of sewer and water services (collectively "City Services") into the City Growth Areas on annexation of those to the City, notwithstanding the agreement of the parties with regard to any other areas subject to this Agreement. Any property owner in the City Growth Area that seeks and receives City Services will be required to annex to the City without objection by the Town.
(b)
The Town will cooperate to maintain currently undeveloped lands in an undeveloped state, in order to preserve them for future City development. It is acknowledged that City development of such lands may be gradual, extending over several decades.
(c)
The Town will discourage premature development by recommending that Winnebago County deny any request for zoning classifications that do not permit, or that discourage, such development and by informing its assessor of the nature of this Agreement so that assessments consistent with preserving land until needed by the City are promoted to the extent allowed by assessment laws. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Town exercises town zoning, the Town will prohibit premature development by maintaining zoning classifications that do not permit, or that discourage, such development. Notwithstanding the restrictions in this section, property owners within the City Growth Areas will be permitted to develop land in accordance with the zoning classifications in effect as of April 15, 2003.
