lots front on public streets but we have the right to grant variances. The staff would
propose that on item 4G that if Council is prepared to approve this zoning change and
concept plan that as a condition of the variance that the applicant be required to install

development regulations for sites upon which SF -1A zoned property is to be developed.
We also include as a caveat of variance approval the acknowledgment by the owner
that there is no public street or right -of -way accessing the property and unless the entire
tract is consolidated and a complete subdivision plat or plan is submitted, the City will
not be constructing and maintaining a public roadway to the site and whatever access
the owner has they will have on the private drive or roadway as it currently exists
without maintenance support from the city. "; 4H; 41 but directing staff to pull out the
