Mr. McCracken made a motion to approve this request subject to either of the two following stipulations being met at the developer’s option: the developer contact the adjacent property owners and reach an agreement to close and abandon the southern 220' of the existing but undeveloped easement for the extension of “E” Street as shown on the site development plans. Absent the above agreement and with City Council approval we direct the developer to grant an additional 10' easement along the east side of the southern 240' of “E” Street and move the buildings to comply with the building setback requirements of 20', with said revisions approved by the building inspector prior to issuance of a building permit. A further part of this motion is a statement that the commission feels that 20' building setback requirement is a hardship on the developer due to the fact that it is the exception that the remaining “E” Street will not be developed and that if it is developed that “E” Street would still be a dead end street ending at the rear of the property.
