During a recent government meeting, officials discussed a variance request for the Sunset Valley Estates Unit 3 subdivision, which seeks to reduce the minimum right-of-way requirement from 60 feet to 54 feet. The proposal includes an 18-foot pavement width on each side of the center line, totaling 36 feet of pavement, along with 5-foot sidewalks and a 33-foot parkway.

City staff presented the details of the request, highlighting that the current municipal ordinance mandates a minimum right-of-way of 60 feet, with a curb-to-curb requirement of 40 feet. The applicant's proposal, however, would only reduce the street width by 6 inches on each side, resulting in a minimal impact on the overall street design.

Mr. Masood, representing the applicants, expressed his support for the variance, emphasizing that the adjustments would not significantly alter the street's functionality. The discussion included clarifications on the proposed dimensions, with officials confirming that the changes would primarily affect the parkway rather than the roadway itself.

The meeting concluded with staff open to questions, indicating a collaborative approach to addressing community development needs while adhering to existing regulations. The outcome of the variance request remains pending as officials weigh the implications of the proposed changes.
