Sunflower Dunes Subdivision Access

Summary

Developers are asking for an exception to the city's 650-foot cul-de-sac limit so they can build a four-home neighborhood on a two-acre lot at 1450 South 360 West. Because surrounding properties block other entrances, this longer private drive is the only way to access the land.
