recommendation from the city engineer , may permit a deviation from the standards of Table 17.19.040-1 and

Manual.
b . The city engineer may grant exceptions to the access restriction policies and standards when no other
feasible access alternative exists.
c. In addition to restricting access, where a residential development abuts or contains an existing or proposed
marginal street, the city may also require reverse frontage lots 'Nith suitable depth , appropriate fencing with
landscaping or masonry walls contained in a non access reservation with a minimum ten foot width along
the real property line , or such other treatment as may be necessary for adequate protection of residential
