The Deferred Frontage improvempnt Agreement represents a real <br /> threat to the financial security of the petitioners. It is a <br /> noncontrollable financial liability imposed by Public Works on a <br /> discretionary basis. The Planning Division indicated Public <br /> Works could remove this requirement if they so desired. Public <br /> Works decl i ned to do so. <br /> Since the Planning Department requires a lot with a width to <br /> depth ratio of appronimate] y .0: 1 , we are saddled with a liability <br /> of approximately 400 feet of frontage. <br /> Public Works indicated the legal requirement for a frontage lot <br /> was 100 0 feet and petitioners could reduce their potential <br /> liability by reducing the parcel ' s frontage on Jac]: Tone Road. <br /> The Planning Dept. said they would not approve an irregular <br /> shaped lot with only a 100-400t frontage. <br /> Petitioners must split off ten acres for a retirement residence <br /> since the entire parcel is in the Williamson Act and has been so <br /> for many years. <br /> The land split was sought so the petitioners would not lose their <br /> home if age or infirmity necessitated selling the remaining <br /> parcel for retirement income. <br /> The inability of the property owners to control the amount of the <br /> future liability for twenty years is a formidable prospect. This <br /> is especially true when the age of petitioners (55 and 57) and <br /> inflation are considered. <br />
