6A.01 Purpose. The Council of the City of Chanhassen has taken
recognition of deficiencies as measured under the present day stan-
dards of the current Chanhassen Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances in

divisions, which subdivisions have been partially developed under
prior less than adequate standards, and which lie within the former
Chanhassen Township areas, which became a part of the present City
of Chanhassen at the time of the Chanhassen Township -Village merger
in 1967. These platting deficiencies render it impossible for cer-
tain of the lots within said plats to meet the minimum yard, area,

govern the development of said areas.
