Story House five-acre parcel without utilities or fire access
Summary
The developer wants to sell a remote five-acre corner of 130 acres with no road, water, or sewer extension — the nearest connection is half a mile away. Staff and the city administrator said that fails basic subdivision and fire-code standards and could invite serial carve-outs.

Impact analysis
If approved, the city could end up owning and maintaining an isolated half-mile utility line built by a developer.
The investor buying the parcel gets today's pricing without development obligations.
The city faces fire-response and service obligations on an inaccessible parcel, and future phases inherit a precedent for skipping infrastructure.
