The Planning Staff feels comfortable recommending approval because of the low density, the water mains can be looped, fire department will be able to get to the cul-de-sac. Modem technology makes longer cul-de-sacs/dead end streets workable. Staff is looking at amending this section of the ordinance. Dick Schieffer, city legal counsel, said there is not a requirement of a hardship in Sec. 12 for the variance when platting. Roger Steams, 720 Honey Tree Rd., said Park Island Dr. (the first street east of Tyler St.) can not be built as a through street because it would go through his house.
