Findings. a. For the purposes of this Ordinance, the North Hill is described as follows: Beginning at the intersection of the north line of St. Croix Avenue and County Road 5; thence northwesterly along County Road 5 to the south line of the Minnesota Zephyr Railroad Tracks; thence east along the south line of the Minnesota Zephyr Railroad Tracks to the north/south centerline of Section 21, Township 30N, Range 20W; thence north on the centerline to the north line of Section 21; thence east on the north line to the shore of the St. Croix River; thence southeasterly along the shore of the S1. Croix River to the north line of Laurel Street as extended; thence west along the north line of Laurel Street to the west line of Highway 96; thence north along the west line to a point 150 feet south of the south line of East Poplar Street; thence west along a line parallel and 150 feet south of the south line of East Poplar Street extended to the west line of North Second Street; thence south along the west line of North Second Street to the east line of Sycamore Street extended, to its intersection with the west line of North Fourth Street; thence north along the west line of Fourth Street to Moore Street; thence east along the north line of Moore Street to the west line of William Street; thence south along the west line to the north line of St. Croix Avenue; thence west along the north line of S1. Croix Avenue to the point of beginning. b. The North Hill, as defined in this Ordinance, has no sanitary sewer or water facilities and a storm sewer system that is either nonexistent or wholly inadequate. c. That much of the North Hill was developed more than one hundred (100) years ago, leaving only marginal property that is difficult to develop and a threat to the health, safety and welfare since it must be developed without municipal sanitary sewer or water facilities. d. That further in-fill development on the North Hill could have a serious impact on the North Hill itself and the surrounding area and remainder of the City. e. That within the past calendar year, the City has experienced a significant expense involving correcting ravine washouts on Hazel Street, erosion at the end of North Third Street, rutting and washouts on Hazel Street and Schulenberg Park, failed septic systems, contaminated wells, numerous washouts, pothole repairs and minor flooding problems. f. Until the City completes a feasibility study or a master plan for development of the North Hill, in-fill development will create more problems and make existing problems more difficult to correct, and budget constraints have not allowed the completion of the needed study during the year 1999. 2. Moratorium. Based upon these findings, it is hereby determined that any in-fill development, building permits, or subdivisions within the North Hill be and the same hereby are prohibited for an additional period of eighteen (18) months from October 1, 1999. 3. Savings. In all other ways the City Code with remain in full force and effect. 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance will be in full force and effect on October 1, 1998, and after its passage and publication according to law.
