There are peculiar circumstances present due to the size or slope
of the parcel of land, soil or topographical conditions or subdivision
design, which reasonably justify a deviation from the standards otherwise
applicable; or

(a)
The maximum improvements which shall be required for a street in
any subdivision wherein the abutting property is zoned to preclude
commercial and industrial uses shall not exceed an amount equivalent

uses shall be improved to the full section.

Where a subdivision street is designed to permit extension and completion
of dedication into adjoining unsubdivided property, there shall be
shown on the final map a one-foot wide parcel adjacent to and extending
the full width and/or length of that portion of the street that adjoins
the subdivided property.
(b)
The one-foot parcel shall be offered for dedication with the provision
that its acceptance by the Council be contingent upon the extension
of the street.
(c)
The parcel shall be improved with a barricade extending the full
width of the street right-of-way, except that in part-width boundary
streets no barricade shall be required.

This fee shall be an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cost
of the improvements as estimated by the Engineer. Improvements shall

schedule of improvements may be modified, an application for such
modification shall be made in writing, stating fully the grounds of
the application and the facts relied upon by the subdivider. The application
shall be filed with the tentative map of the subdivision. In order
for the Council to approve the application, it must find all of the
following:
(a)
That unusual circumstances or conditions affecting the property render
compliance with Schedule "A" impractical;

That the modification is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right; and

the public welfare or injurious to other property in the vicinity.
