V Councilman -------- --- 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.
