She added she has observed problems there 10 <br />with water and parking and so forth, and added that <br />she does net fee, an economic hardship is sufficient. <br />Councilmember Blanchard stated she was also concerned <br />with the water problem. <br />Councilmember Quick questioned why zero lot lines were <br />nut used with the original two duplexes. <br />Mr. Kremer responded that the City did not Lave zero <br />lot lines at that time, but they were built to meet <br />those requirements, with individual services and so <br />forth. <br />Councilmember Quick asked if the proposed changes would <br />enhance the drainage on the lots. <br />Director Thatcher replied it would as it would provide <br />a larger detention pond. <br />Councilmember Hankn,rr stated she was concerned with the <br />parking issue and felt the Council should look into it <br />further. , <br />Mr. Wolfe presented a letter from one of the property <br />owners, who could not be present.
