Variance Request on the Maximum Length of a Dead End Road by David Gow/Public Hearing Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, indicated that David Gow, 20493 Meadowvale Road, is requesting an approximate 600 foot variance on the 500 foot maximum length of a dead-end road. He stated that the request would allow an 1,100 foot long cul-de-sac in order to develop a portion of the property owned by Mr. Gow. Steve Rohlf stated that Mr. Gow is proposing to develop a 40 acre parcel of property into two phases. He stated that Mr. Gow is requesting a variance prior to completing the preliminary plat process in an attempt to avoid costly platting procedures for a plat that would be useless if the variance is not approved. Rob VanValkenburg, Planning Commission Representative, stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the variance contingent upon the plat being approved. Vice Mayor Holmgren opened the public hearing. There being no one for or against the matter, Vice Mayor Holmgren closed the public hearing. Peter Beck, City Attorney, recommended that the City Council not approve the variance prior to preliminary plat approval. David Gow requested action to approve the variance contingent upon final plat approval so as to save the cost if the variance is not approved. After discussion of this matter, it was the consensus of the Council that the concept of the variance was acceptable, however, no action would be taken prior to the Council reviewing the preliminary plat.
