Wendy's would be required to put in full width street requirements through their plat if the city did not propose the reconstruction of Interlake.Wen dy's is proposing to continue with their plat but is requesting they only be held responsible for the cost of half the street improvements and perhaps a reimbursement schedule could be set up for the property on the other side of the street.Because the property on the other side of the street is already platted and the city initiated Interlake's reconstruction,the City Manager advises a reimbursement schedule in this situation is not possible.The Plan ning Commission recommended to Council that the variance be granted since the city is scheduled to improve Interlake.The Planning Commission saw this variance as a unique situation and an opportunity for the city to reduce its street construction cost on Interlake by about $13,000.
