Associate Planner Dalnes replied that is typically addressed through density, setback, lot <br />widths, and minimum requirements for roads and access, which is why these things need <br />to be considered when granting deviations. <br />Mr. Rollings stated CBR Development looks at this realistically and their market research <br />shows that single -level living is a need, which is not necessarily for folks with young <br />children.
