As stated in item 7, we recommend that the City Council grant a variance to the lot depth for the following reasons: The City's Scenic River Ordinance does not require a lot depth. It only requires a width' of 90 feet and a minimum area of 12,150 square feet. All of the lots meet those requirements. The City has reviewed and approved the preliminary plat in accordance with Article 170.038A of the City Code which states that the planning commission in its review of a preliminary plat shall dgtermine whether the proposed subdivision is in conformity with the City Code and shall take into consideration the require- ments of the community and the best use of the land. Particular attention shall be given to the arrangement, location and widths of streets, drainage and lot sizes and arrangements. I I I The lots which are deficient in depth are within seven feet of the 135 feet depth requirement and adding to the depth would shorten the river lots and create a conflict with the Scenic River Ordinance. Since the plat had preliminary plat approval and meets the Scenic River's Ordinance, we would recommend that~the City grant a variance as in the case of the right-of-way widths and cul-de-sac length as done in the past. civil · municipal · planning · soils · land surveying
