ObservationS: The 4 lot minqr subdivision on 40 acres is in conformance with 4 in 40 density zoning. Lots 1, 2 and 2k of Block 1 meet the 200 foot lot width and 2.5 acre area requirements.

Lot 1, Block 2 will facilitate an existing homestead on rite property. Outlot A will be dedicated to the City for furore use as a public street to accessOutlot B if and when the property resubdivides.

In accordance With the recommendations Of City Staff, Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot i, Block 2 will access 167th Avenue at the same location on Outlot A. At such time as the property is resubdivided and Outlot A is developed as a City street, these lots Will access this northerly extension of Cd~quina rather than 167th. The driveway for Lot 2, Block 2 will align with Dolomite Street on the south side of 167th.
