Approve the variance for plat approval to increase the deflection angle of the private right-of-way from 10 degrees to 20 degrees at the subject property without providing a horizontal curve, based on the following evidence of hardship.

1. The topography surrounding this particular site would require extensive earthwork moving to provide a horizontal curve, which is not practical as this is a private road with low traffic volumes.
2. The joint permanent access easement (private right-of-way), Arcadia Peninsula Way, has been constructed and dead ends with a turnaround at this property. The owner is replatting to have their lot lines adjusted to parallel where the road was constructed.
3. It is not for financial reasons that the variance is being requested. The road has already been constructed and the owner must replat to move the front lot line out of the private right-of-way.
4. This is a private dead-end road with low volumes of traffic and the deflection angle is not great enough to cause detriment to public safety, health, or welfare of the public, nor would it be injurious to other properties in the neighborhood.

Approve the final plat for one lot in the PR up to 3 du/ac zone.
