Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. Staff finds no problem with the request for deferral of improvements until the stated lots are platted, and the request for encroachment into the building setback for Lot 4. This will result in the plattinq of a 20-foot building line. Since the reason for the similar request on Lot 4 is not readily apparent, staff_ does not support this request. F.

A waiver of the ordinance requirement for the completion of all boundary street improvements in the initial phase in subdivisions of less than 20 acres was requested.
