He stated he had reviewed the project and anticipated no need for drainagement improvements with the plat. Councilmember Rowley asked if approval from the Highway Department had been received for Outlot A. Mr. Murphy replied that they had applied for approval and that if it is not granted, the outlot will become part of the other lots. Administrator Achen reported that the area is an area where the existing zoning is basically for commercial development and that the Planning Commission has indicated a desire to avoid continued growth of strip commercial development along Highway 10. He added that this was the first area the City has been successful in getting the developer to down zone. Attorney Meyers pointed out that there are two lots that are substandard, Lot 1, which has a 90' frontage with 100' required, and Lot 13. He stated the Council would have to find a hardship to grant the variances. Mr. Murphy stated that Lot 1 fronts on three streets, and meets the requirement on two of those. He also explained that Lot 13 is an odd shaped lot and the necessary f ^ontage is obtained once you go back on the lot. Engineer Hubbard reported that Staff has recommended that on Lot 13, frontage be measured at the building line due to it's odd shape, and that the necessary frontage would then be met. He added that Lot 1 is on a curve in the road, which reduced the frontage. 4 ayes 1 nay
