Staff report stated Planning Commission had considered this application by Anne Preader , owner of premises situate at 260 Orchard Avenue , requesting exception to the Subdivision Ordinance to allow one parcel to be subdivided into two parcels of less than 6 , 000 square feet , being easterly one -half of Lot 15 , Lee Tract , in an "R -2 " District , and recommend that Council grant the exception , subject to five specific conditions as outlined in their report . In reply to questions as to the uneven road widths appearing on Orchard Avenue and whether setback in this instance would permit future widening of Orchard , Planning Director reviewed discussions by Council during Wheeler Avenue improve - ments when assessments made on these deep lots , assuming subdivision in the future and how Planning Commission felt obligated in this instance to grant this exception . He acknowledged fact subdivision of this parcel would legally permit a duplex on each lot . Motion carried on roll call vote , Councilman Keckley being noted absent . Councilman Weymouth moved to adopt Resolution granting exceptions to certain pro - visions of Chapter 30 of. the Code of the City of Redwood City , being the sub - __ division regulations of the City of Redwood City - - Redwood Shores Steinberger Subdivision , seconded by Councilman Arnett . On question , Staff requested to explain why so many exceptions being requested in Redwood Shores development , in view of General Plan which had been made for this whole development . City Manager stated main reason for the many requests for exceptions concerned cul -de -sac lengths being at variance with the present Zoning Ordinance require - ment permitting only cul -de -sacs of 250 ' length , whereas most of cul -de -sac planning for Redwood Shores for various reasons required more length than in other conventional subdivisions , Planning Director also explained that longer cul -de - sacs widened in Redwood Shores Development for traffic flow and of the topography presenting problems because of slough areas located intermittently throughout flat areas . City Manager noted only two exceptions were being requested to the Zoning Ordinance . Other specific conditions imposed for this subdivision by Staff had been accepted by the developer because both thought they would result in a better subdivision . Planning Director also advised of the careful consideration given to fire safety and access for equipment on these long cul -de -sacs in the project , and all having been approved as to design by the Fire Chief . s& 8 '69
