Council will not agree upon any oil or gas well drilling within the limits of the Village until a definite location of the proposed well is presented and all aspects are reviewed by the Planning Commission, been the subject of a public hearing and been approved by Council, due to the following reasons:
(a) Possible effects on the natural flow of the Tuscarawas River and the Ohio and Erie Canal, a national historic asset.
(b) Damage to water tables.
(c) Property values.
(d) Hindrance of future development of the areas which such well would be constructed on.
(e) Possible interruption of extended utilities within the City, prohibiting growth.
