004 COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 11, 1991 should not be constructed at this time. She noted that he and all of his neighbors signed the petition for the road in 1989. She also said she felt that since she had started the procedure prior to the upgrading of the street standards code, her request should be grandfathered and the street should be constructed according to the standards that were in place at the time she originally petitioned for the improvement. Ms. Lowell noted that she has put a lot of time and money into this project, she is not a developer and the situation has been a real strain. She also noted that the Council has approved a four (4) lot subdivision based upon the installation of 66th Street. Ms. Lowell asked the Council to consider lesser standards for 66th Street. Mayor Bisel noted that the Council does not take action on matters brought under Open Mike. He expressed concern regarding her efforts. Mayor Bisel explained that the DRB could not recommend a variance because six (6) findings of fact could not be presented. Ms. Lowell asked if there will be discussions by the Council on March 25, 1991 regarding what type of street would be installed. Mayor Bisel said that if she and the adjoining land owner do not want to construct 66th Street as proposed by the City Engineer, then her own new home can be serviced by a driveway.
