A. Purpose: It is the purpose of this section to provide, in specific cases, as are hereinafter designated, a procedure whereby the city council may temporarily waive the construction of street widening required by the major streets and highways plan prior to the issuance of building permits within a subdivision; provided, that the city council, in its sole judgment, deems that such street widening shall not immediately be in the interest of the public health, safety, or general welfare.
B. Condition For Temporary Variance Issuance: The city council may authorize the issuance of building permits prior to the construction of such street widening required by the major streets and highways plan only for existing improved streets which met existing city standards at the time of construction and which were accepted by the city for public maintenance. The city council shall authorize such temporary variance only when the following conditions are met:
1. The required widening would not result in the construction of an additional full traffic lane; and
2. The future widening of such street is secured by an acceptable corporate surety bond to the city. (Ord. 1978-10, 10-3-1978)
