7. That the presence of wetlands to the south and west limits the subject property's opportunities for additional accesses. 8. That the extension of 177th Avenue to Highway 47 will not be constructed prior to the City Council taking action on the plat. 9. That the plat, as proposed, hinges upon the construction of a cul-de-sac that does not comply with City Code, and requires a variance. 10. That the variance to maximum cul-de-sac length has been denied. 11. That City Code Section 9.50.30, Subd.3.g, which provides that the maximum length of cul-de-sac streets shall be 600 feet, does take precedence over City Code Section 9.50.30 Subd.2.b, which states that it is the "stated intent" of the City to connect streets with adjoining pamels for development. 12. That there is a public safety concern with the fact that Erkium Street N.W, is the single access to the 34 platted residential lots located immediately east of the Subject Property; and that the addition of 16 new lots as proposed by the Applicant will intensify this public safety concern. 13. That at the preliminary plat public heating conducted on February 2, 2006 and March 3, 2006, information was presented which would give a reasonable basis on which to deny the proposed preliminary plat.
