Certainly <br />one of the major reasons for this conclusion is the inclueion of s <br />public street in the plat.We noticed with interest that this waa the <br />only public street between County Road IS and Bohn's Point and waa <br />clearly over-designed for servicing these three properties. <br />The area in which the Dicon Addition is located ia currently soned for <br />two acre minimum lots with 200 foot minima lot widths. Although nens <br />of the lota in the Dicon Addition conform to the required performance <br />standards* we were unable to find any indication t!at the City intended <br />to vary from the purpose and/or intent of the ZJl-lA District in <br />approving this plat. Consequently, we can only conclude that the <br />required minimum performance standards in this District should be <br />applied to these lots. With the Indus on of Scotch Pine Lane in this <br />a
