Black Cat Road, anp south of Cherry Lane Applications: modification to a final plat and variance Previous Hearing: Staff explained the request and noted several outstanding concerns. Chief among them were I) reluctance about Council approving a variance that runs with the land and 2) providing surety for the eventual removal of the homes. Outstanding Issuc(s) for City Council: Staff is stilI concerned with setting a precedent with this application; however, we have worked with the applicant to come up with conditions of approval that will (hopefully) result in full compliance with the original final plat proposal. Staff feels this is preferable to approving a variance on the property. We recommend that Council replace condition #12 and #13 in FP- 06-008 with the following: 12. Remove anv buildin~s that uo nut II1t:t:t st:lbal,;k rt:quirt:mt:nts. prior to signature on the plat bv the City Engineer.
