ances for topographic and vegetation reasons only. Mayor Blomquist objected
to granting variances after the plat is approved and in effect, she stated it
creates a second plat. It was noted that the applicant had originally re-
quested approval of the variances when the plat was submitted to the Council

ment are adhered to and all other conditions and ordinances are complied with.
All voted in favor. Mayor Blomquist recommended that in the future, appli-
cants for plat approval should designate on the lots during the preliminary
plat stage which lots are expected to require variances and that buildings be
included where small lots are requested.
