5) Adequate arterial street access and capacity to serve the area
6) Such other service availability and capacity to serve the
particular needs of the area.

Item No. v; - Amending the
Sanger - Addition of
Primary 1 Service
ervice Area
t-y City
of Bangor, applicant.
C.O. q 09-434.
a. The process of matching municipal services for private sac -
tor development has in the past been largely a haphazard
one.
Zoning decisions were primarily, based upon the land
use element of the Comprehensive Plan. (According to State
-
Statutes zos
ing must be "pursuant to and consistent with"
the City's Comprehensive Plan.) Once zoning decisions have
been made, then the City has found itself in the position of
scrambling to provide a range of yeasservices to developing
with little b central over the extent of such
areas . ' for example,
the amount Of .area which might be
opened up to development by the construction of a "private
sower
" for example. The intent of the Proposed Comprehen-
wePlan Amendment is to add to the City's development
Policy a statement about the provision of a range of City
services to developing areas
and to Provide a basis for
objective decision making in the area of separate City ser-
vice extension decisions. The proposed language simply
Bates the concept of a primary service area which the City
cam define objectively in the development process. (Primary
service a then will be used as a criteria for provision
of services
in other a of decision making such as in the
City's sewer Ordinances.)
b. Staff would recommend the addition of this language creating
this primary service area concept to the City's Comprehan-
e Plan and would rend that the Planning Board for-
ward it to the City Council I with a positive recommendation.
