8 WHEREAS, the Little Rock Board of Directors continues to
9 encourage quality growth within the City of Little Rock and in
10 those areas which may reasonably become part of the City in the
11 future; and
12 WHEREAS, quality growth is defined as growth that is
13 planned, orderly, and meets municipal standards for streets,
14 adequate utilities, lot size, access, land use and other factors;
15 and

30 SECTION 1. It is the specific intent of the City of Little
31 Rock to regulate utility expansion in areas outside current City

water utility tie -ons shall only be allowed where the land
in question meets adopted City zoning and subdivision regulations
for the area. Provided further, that in no event shall a water
utility tie -on be allowed for any of said property within Little
Rock's extraterritorial jurisdiction unless said property is first
annexed to the City or the owner(s) of said land agree to execute
an acceptable pre- annexation agreement with the City providing for
the future annexation of said land at a time to be determined by
the City. The Board of Directors will determine on an individual
case basis where extraordinary exceptions to this resolution may
justify tie -ons as determined by established criteria designed to
ensure the orderly growth of the City of Little Rock.
SECTION 2. No new sewer utility main extensions or
individual tie -ons submitted to the City by the Sanitary Sewer
Committee shall be allowed in incorporated or unincorporated areas
outside of the City of Little Rock without the prior approval of
the Little Rock Board of Directors.
SECTION 3. No new water main extensions or individual
tie -ons submitted to the City by the Water Works Commission shall
be allowed in areas outside the City of Little Rock's
extraterritorial jurisdiction without the prior approval of the
Little Rock Board of Directors.
SECTION 4. All existing agreements for water and sewer
service to incorporated areas outside of Little Rock shall be
amended to provide for limits on service volume. The agreements
shall be in written form, and shall be approved by the Little Rock
Board of Directors. The intent of this Section is to prohibit
further expansion of sewer service volume or resale of water by
said incorporated areas receiving Little Rock water or sewer
service. It is not the intent of this section to reduce Little
Rock's commitment to provide water or sewer services for the
normal growth of incorporated communities it now serves.
