The Fire Department is one of the reviewing and approval agencies, at <br /> which time the appropriate Fire Code relative to water is addressed. <br /> 3. Lack of Relief and Subdivision Process <br /> The 7Y acre area was rezoned from A-5a to FA-2a to allow the 3-lot subdivision <br /> (Ord. No. 10 20) on March 18, 2010. (Exhibit B) There was no condition <br /> mandating specific road improvement requirement.

Deferring and Not Eliminating Requirement <br /> Finally, the applicant is not seeking to eliminate these requirements. It recognizes <br />
