The proposed variance to permit a temporary cul-de-sac in an easement, rather than in a <br />dedicated right-of-way, will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property. <br />Our plan will meet all other standards of the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations. <br />2. Unreasonably increase the congestion in the public street. <br />The amount of traffic generated by this small residential subdivision will not increase or create <br />traffic congestion. <br />3. Have the effect of allowing any uses prohibited in the applicable zoning district, permit a lesser <br />degree of public health, safety and general welfare protection than established by this chapter, or <br />permit standards which are lower than those required by state law. <br />The proposed temporary cul-de-sac would be no less safe than a permanent cul-de-sac in a <br />larger right-of-way. It would be built to city standards and easements will be provided to ensure <br />that it can be adequately maintained. The temporary cul-de-sac would promote the general <br />welfare by facilitating the convenient extension of 168th Lane to the east. The requirement for a <br />platted right-of-way would burden and discourage the orderly extension of the street. It would <br />require a more complicated and disruptive process to vacate excess right-of-way at the east end <br />of the cul-de-sac when the road is extended. <br />4. Increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety. <br />The proposed variance will not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety. There <br />will be adequate provision for vehicles to turn around in the temporary cul-de-sac. A future <br />extension of 168th Lane will provide for a more safe and efficient roadway layout by allowing for a <br />future through street connection to Garnet Street at some point in the future. <br />5. Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood or in any <br />way be contrary to the intent of this chapter. <br />The proposed variances will not unreasonably diminish or impair established property values <br />within the neighborhood or in any way be contrary to the intent of this chapter. It will enhance <br />property values by allowing more efficient subdivision of this and the adjacent land. <br />6. Violate the intent and purpose of the comprehensive plan. <br />The variance requested will not violate the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />ZZZ15326 — Cole Addition Variance L ANDF ORM July 10, 2017 <br />Project Narrative 3 <br />
