depicted on the preliminary plat map in the Westlake area.The property is
zoned C-4,Highway Commercial,and city water is available.The city will
require that the water and sewer mains be extended through the plat.Prichard
and Idaho Streets as depicted on the preliminary plat map are state frontage
roads under the jurisdiction of the State of Washington,Department of
Transportation.Full width street improvements to current city standards
will be required on Prichard and Idaho Streets at such time as the state

to the City Council that the variance request be granted.
5.The City Council,at their meeting on January 10,1984,approved the variance
request to defer the extension of water and sewer mains through the plat
until the contiguous land is developed with the condition that a covenant run

is developed with the condition that a covenant run with the land for these
improvements.
