Council discusses lot-size options and well requirements for nonannexed properties
Summary
Council members debated proposed lot sizes (1 acre, 5 acre, and earlier 1.4–1.6-acre proposals) and whether properties outside city limits would need private wells rather than hookups; acreage totals for the Webb property were uncertain in discussion.
Council members reviewed multiple lot-size scenarios raised in the discussion of the Webb property, noting both 1-acre and 5-acre alternatives as well as earlier references to 1.4–1.6-acre proposals. The Chair said, "He did say he's gonna do 5 acre lots here," while also recalling an earlier comment that Webb had mentioned 1-acre lots to other members.
Members emphasized the practical difference for water provisioning: if the parcel remains outside the city, property owners may need private wells. The Chair and other members debated whether the city would permit connections through the buffer zone and whether infrastructure extensions would be appropriate if the owner does not annex. Council members also expressed uncertainty about the landowner's total acreage, offering estimates of "like 10" or "20" acres during the exchange.
No ordinance or formal zoning change was enacted in the meeting; the transcript contains only discussion and recollection of prior proposals and potential next steps for land-use planning.
