MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />JULY 12, 1990 <br />Bendel pointed out that the applicant cannot assume the <br />City's legal liability that would be imposed by <br />approving a driveway over a public right -of -way. <br />Bendel asked if the City was prepared to accept this <br />exposure. <br />Pedersen pointed out that the liability situation <br />already exists given the driveway for 298 Rose Place. <br />The Commission questioned access to the property by <br />emergency vehicles. <br />Bob DeBace stated that he did not believe there would <br />be a problem for access by fire trucks, unless the <br />driveway was muddy, also pointing out that he could not <br />predict storms that might occur.
