That variance application covered only the problem <br />of having less than the required width. Several questions <br />arose at the,Council Public Hearing and as a result Mr. Carlson <br />withdrew that application and is now resubmitting an <br />application for both reduced lot width and for not having <br />access to a public street. <br />The questions that arose at the Council Public Hearing included <br />whether or not there was in fact a public street, drainage <br />questions, the potential impact on adjacent property and <br />whether or not the warrants for variance were present. <br />As the applicants attached statement of reason for the variance <br />indicate the applicant is proposing to dedicate an additional <br />17 feet beyond the 8 feet already dedicated for road purposes. <br />This would provide a 25 foot road easement which the applicant <br />states could be used for putting in a public street in the <br />future to develop the property to the west and north. While a <br />public street is not .being requested at this time the <br />dedicated right-of-way would give the City an option regarding <br />future .development of the property to the north and west. In <br />the interim the applicant is proposing that the home located <br />on the northern proposed parcel be granted a driveway easement <br />issued by Clty Manager <br />
