The Rural Service District shall include only such unplatted lands, which need not be contiguous to one another, as in the judgment of the City Council at the time of adoption of the ordinance, are rural in character and are not developed for commercial, industrial, or urban residential purposes and for these reasons are not benefited to the same degree as other lands by municipal services financed by general taxation. The ordinance may designate lands outside the City of Winnebago which, if annexed, shall be included in the Rural Service District. No parcel shall be included in the Rural Service District of ten acres or less and no parcel shall remain in the Rural Service District unless such parcel consists of ten acres or more. Land in the Rural Service District must be open; rural in character and maintained in farm crops or seeded. Grading is not considered as development provided grading is limited to such as is required to minimize storm runoff problems and provided graded areas are cropped and reseeded within one year. Any fill hauled in shall be graded off and seeded at least once each year.
