MINUTES City Council Sept. 14, 1988 Gr•abrick Blesener suggested that the solution may be to corr•ect the filling that Fill Permit was done on the corner lot. Fahey agreed that the City should have (Cont.) the excess fill on the corn er lot removed and the lot graded properly. The run-off problem shoutd not be transferred to another• lot. The City Engineer reported that both the Grabrick lot and the neighboring lot were low and have poor soils. The Engineer felt that the solution was to grade the Grabrick pr•operty so that it dr•ains towards Greenbrier Circle. Grabrick stated that it would be helpful if both lots were filled to the level of County Road B-2. Grabrick reported that the adjacent lot is currently 15 to 18 inches above the level of County Road B-2. The City Engineer• suggested that the excess dir~t in the adjacent lot could be pushed into the Grabrick lot. LaValle agreed that setting the grade of the two lots at the level of County Road B-2 would be a solution to par•t of the problem. Collova agreed, and suggested that the City Engineer look at the site. Collova felt if there was too much fill on the adjacent lot, the excess should be pushed into the Grabrick backyard. Grabrick reported that he will have a surveyor shoot the contour•s of the ar•ea and he would like to fill his backyar•d to the same slope as County Road B-2. Grabrick felt that if the adjacent lot wer•e at this same level, the neighbor•hood would look better. Grabrick estimated that he would need 1,200 to 1,300 cubic yards of fill to get his backyard to the desired level, however, is r•equesting a permit for• 1,000 cubic yards since he will be doing some terracing of his backyard and will get some fill from that. Scalze pointed out that in the past the City has never requir~ed a proper~ty owner• to r~emove fill from his property. Scalze pointed out the filling that was done acr•oss from the Eng proper•ty without a per•mit, and the City did not require this fill to be removed. Blesener• pointed out that in that situation, the City Engineer• did not see a problem with the fill. Mr~. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 88-9-389 - APPROVING THE GRABRICK FILL PERMIT AND GRADING PERMIT SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE CITY ENGINEER OF A SURVEY SHOWING THE LEVEL OF THE FILL TO BE THE SAME LEVEL AS COUNTY ROAD B-2 AS DESCRIBED BY MR. GRABRICK TO THE COUNCIL, AND INSTRUCTING THE CITY ENGINEER TO WORK WITH THE BUILDING INSPECTOR WITH MR. RYAN, THE PROPERTY OWNER ADJACENT TO MR. GRABRICK, AS WELL AS TO WORK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY, IF NECESSARY, TO HAVE THE FILL ON THE RYAN PROPERTY RELOCATED OR REMOVED SO THAT IT DOES NOT IMPEDE THE DRAINAGE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Page -7-
