of erosion, washout and spoilage of a ravine,
Subdivision 3. MORATORIUM. Beginning on the effective date of this ordinance, any use,
development or subdivision within the ravines including the excavation or grading of any soil, the cutting
or removal of any trees or vegetation, and the erection of any structures is hereby prohibited.
Subdivision 4. VESTED RIGHTS. The moratorium shall not halt, delay or impede a development which
has been given preliminary approval prior to the effective date of this ordinance.
SubdivisionS. TERMINATION DATE. The ordinance shall terminate unless repealed earlier by action
of the City Council one year from its effective date unless extended for an additional period as permitted
by law.
