But officials have run into roadblocks of their own.

December 14, 1994 - The Springville Herald - Page Three Ordinance to protect from unacceptable development by Laurel Brady Developers in Mapleton will now be required to comply with ordinances that may not have been finalized until after building has begun. The city Council voted to approve what officials are calling a "Pending Ordinance Ordinance." Or-dinance." The measure requires applicants to sign an acknowledgment acknowledg-ment they are aware of pending changes to the city code that may effect their project and agree to meet all new requirements if they are passed. The city is specifically concerned con-cerned at this time about amendments amend-ments to the requirements and permitted uses in the Critical Environment Zone on the east side of the city. A moratorium has been in effect prohibiting development in that zone while planners have been hammering out details of new building and zoning standards for the area. The ordinance will protect the city from unacceptable development develop-ment even though the final document docu-ment has not been completed. Councilwoman Marilyn Peterson Peter-son said the ordinance will apply only when a new ordinance is substantially complete or will be considered for approval within a reasonable time frame. She said the ordinance will require developers devel-opers to meet maximum requirements, require-ments, not minimum or obsolete standards. "It will simply avert complications until that point we deny or approve ordinances. It is an insurance policy for the city," Zoning administrator Bill Jones agreed, pointing out the new ordinance "is just a tool." He said it will be as effective as the moratorium has been in protecting pro-tecting the city. Whole some council members felt more time for study was needed before considering the ordinance, Councilman Walter Walser said, "I wish we'd had this in place already. We've had some subdivisions come in without with-out proper sewer provisions." Walser said since plans for the sewer are not complete, some developments have been passed that will present problems later. It was noted if a pending ordinance is rejected by the city council after developers have signed acknowledgments, they will simply revert to compliance with existing rules. DO YOU KNOW THAT!
