  • B. The proposed use will be isolated from a roadway, and a connecting roadway is not likely to be improved for many years; or

  • C. Because of the peculiar circumstances of the property, the development of the surrounding property, or other reasons, such required improvements can best be constructed through use of an assessment proceeding.
