Welch described the proposed plat as well as its location. It was pointed out that of the 26 lots proposed, 24 are single - family lots, and two are twin -home lots. There is also an outlot and park area included as part of the plat. Mr. Welch pointed out that a variance is being requested since the length of the cul -de -sac proposed would exceed the City's 600 foot minimum. A member of the audience asked about street access to the plat, and whether or not the developer had financing in place for the project. Welch replied that he is proposing to improve the street and utilities. Access would be via dedicated street right -of -way. Financing has been approved for the project. Welch explained that access would come via Jackson Street. There is the provision for an emergency access through the industrial park, however, the intent is to keep residential traffic out of the adjacent industrial park. Page 1
