SUBDIVISION Mayor Blesener opened the Public Hearing to consider an Amendment ORDINANCE to the Subdivision Ordinance relating to dead-end and cul-de-sac streets. He noted that both the City Planner and the Planning Commission have recommended approval of the amendment. The City Planner reviewed her March 6, 2008 report and outlined the proposed changes to the ordinance. The changes do the following: • Clarify the fact that the City's 500-foot cul-de-sac length standard does not apply to temporary cul-de-sacs; • Clarify that the City retains the discretion to require longer cul-de- sacs under specific conditions; • Define temporary cul-de-sacs as streets being those where future extension is anticipated; • Clarify that cul-de-sac standards applicable to temporary cul-de- sac streets refers only to the cul-de-sac radius; • Clarify the standards for variance from the Subdivision Ordinance to become more closely consistent with State Law. The Planner indicated that these amendments to the Subdivision Ordinance are proposed in advance of the recodification of the City's ordinances due to the pending litigation relative to the Richie Place plat. The Planner also noted that the amendments proposed reflect the actual intent and practice of the City in applying its Subdivision Ordinance.
