explanation

On April 12, 2001, the City Attorney's Office received a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment/Injunctive Relief and a Motion for Temporary Injunctions from Patrice Boyes, Esquire, on behalf of Watson Construction Company, Inc.  The complaint requests the court enjoin the City from adopting a moratorium on development in the I-2 zone, or in the alternative, to declare that the City is estopped from applying the moratorium to Watson's proposed development.  The complaint also asks the court to declare that the City's wellfield protection ordinance and need for a special use permit does not apply to Watson's proposed development.  The Motion for Temporary Injunction requests injunctive relief from the moratorium.
