URBAN DEVELOPMENTS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY CAN BE <br /> ADEQUATELY SERVED BY THE EXISTING PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES. <br /> New development will not be permitted to exceed the <br /> existing capacity of local roads , utilities , parks , <br /> police and fire protection. Where development within <br /> the urban service area requires local extension of <br /> 111 <br /> roads or utilities , such extension will be the full <br /> responsibility of the developer , not the general <br /> taxpayer . <br /> 6. HIGHER LEVELS OF PUBLIC SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE URBAN AREA <br /> THAN IN THE RURAL AREA. The greater land use density <br /> and the greater number of residents combines to require11 <br /> more intensive levels of public services . Police , fire , <br /> and ambulance calls are more frequent . Roads , parking <br /> lots and playgrounds require more maintenance . Public <br /> 11 <br /> sewer and water is necessary because of population <br /> density and proximity to the Lake . All of these factors <br /> combine to increase the cost of government in the urban <br /> portions of the City , which increased cost will be paid 11 <br /> by the urban users of the services without subsidy from <br /> the rural residents . <br /> 11 <br /> RURAL AREA GOALS AND POLICIES <br /> 11 <br /> RURAL COMMUNITY GOALS <br /> 1.
