OUTSIDE THE MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY
WHEREAS, historically whenever a property owner requested a sewer
tap permit from the Jeffersonville Municipal Sewer Utility (the "Utility") for a
parcel of real estate outside of the municipal boundaries of the City of
Jeffersonville (the "City"), the property owner was required to execute and
record a waiver of remonstrance as a condition of receMng the sewer tap
permk; and
WHEREAS, the Utility is not required to extend sewer service to
property outside of the City; and
WHEREAS, sanitary and storm sewer service is required to allow real
estate development in a characteristically urban fashion; and
WHEREAS, often property owners whose real estate lies within close
proximity to the City's municipal boundaries wish to develop their real estate
in a characteristically urban fashion; and
WHEREAS, for the public health, safety and welfare of all the
residents within its statutory territory and for the benefit of the environment in
the vicinity of the City, the Common Council wants to encourage orderly
urban growth with adequate sanitary and storm sewer service; and
WHEREAS, often when the Utility is able to provide sanitary and
storm sewer services to a particular area outside the municipal boundaries of
the City, the City is not yet able to provide all other services to the residents
and businesses in that area; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City's residents for the City
to expand its municipal boundaries only when it is financially feasible to
provide all Other City services; and
WHEREAS, the City does not wish to encourage its residents to move
outside the City by providing some City services outside the City without
requiring the residents and businesses receiving those services to: accept the
urban character of their neighborhood, and be willing to reside within the City
when it becomes financially feasible for the City to provide all other City
services to them;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED, that as a
condition of receiving a sewer tap permit from the Utility, any property owner
who requests a sewer tap permit for a parcel of real estate outside of the
municipal boundaries of the City, must execute and record a waiver of his/her

which the permk is requested.
