Citizen's Requests and Comments from the Floor:
Mr. McCann, 2215 Bronson Drive, said he has a problem concerning
his driveway which was installed two years ago. He understood that
if he received permission from his neighbor he could place it closer
than five feet to the lot line which is not in accordance with City
code. At that time he did not realize he had to have written
permission from his neighbor and thought it was just an oral agree-
ment. This past summer he installed a fence which apparenly disturbed
his neighbor and she called the inspectioncbpartment and complained
about the driveway.
Mayor Johnson asked him if he had gotten a permit to install the
driveway, when the home was built, and if there was a garage.
Mr. McCann stated he did not have a permit because at the time he
did not know he needed one. He said the house was about three and
one half years old and he did not have a garage. He said if one
was built it would have to be behind the house because there is
not enough room on the side. If he had stayed within the code
the driveway would only be seven and one half feet wide.
He said the driveway was 1' to 18" from the lot line at the
present time.
Mayor Johnson said that two things would have to be investigated
before Council could make a decision on what would have to be done.
