Council says annexation needed for developer water hookup in Ashley Webb proposal
Summary
Council members discussed a request tied to Ashley Webbs proposed development and concluded the city would not provide a water connection absent annexation; the developer had proposed contributing to system upgrades but neighboring owners declined financial participation.
Council Member Chris Anderson asked whether the City was being asked to provide a water connection for a proposed development by Ashley Webb. Mayor Paul Penrod explained "that Mr. Webb was still interested in obtaining a water connection and believed there was previous documentation regarding annexation." Council members said property owners on the parcel do not wish to annex into the city, and the Council agreed that without annexation a city water connection would not be possible.
Council discussion noted alternatives and conditions: development within the buffer zone could influence lot sizes, private wells remain an option if city water is unavailable, and the developer had framed the proposal as an opportunity for the City to upgrade its water system with financial participation from the developer. Mayor Penrod said he planned to speak with the property owner again to better understand their position; no formal action to provide a hookup or require annexation was taken at the meeting.
