12 1 *told Commissioner Brownell that if the variance weren't granted, he 2 would have to construct the garage substantially shorter and would 3 probably not be able to house his cars because the non-conforming 4 garage, which was there before, had apparently been grandfathered in to 5 the current City Ordinance; 6 *told Commissioner Madden the roadbed at that point is almost 33 feet 7 across and there's about 16-1/2 feet on either side of the right-of-way 8 and the Commissioner's calculations that the distance from the edge of 9 the bituminous might be 29-1/2 feet rather than the 31 feet he had 10 calculated were probably correct. 11 Neighbor Asks Questions 12 Andrew Szurek whose home at 2809 Silver Lane was identified as the 13 first property east of the subject property and whose signed indication 14 that he had no objections to the proposed addition had been included in 15 the agenda packet; 16 *wanted to know how-Mr. Hance's garage would line up with Mr. Solie's 17 on the west side and whether the City would inspect- the -project before. 18 the garage was constructed; 19 *indicated Mr. Hance was coming in with some "surprises" about which 20 he said he had talked to the lawyer before the meeting, including the 21 fact that the structure would be built three feet higher than he had 22 first anticipated, which caused him some concern about drainage; 23 *said he was concerned that the adjoining land might be landscaped 24 higher than his property where the land between the two parcels had 25 been level before and he would like to see assurances in writing that 26 it wouldn't create a drainage problem for him. 27 Mr. Hance addressed what he said he perceived were two concerns - of Mr. 28 Szurek, drainage and access to his property. He said he and the 29 Building Inspector, Larry Hamer, had both assured that adequate 30 provisions for drainage would be made when the Hance lot is raised to 31 street level, leaving Mr. Szurek's lot lower. The applicant told the 32 Commissioners that the swales which are now only primitively constructed 33 on both sides of his property would ultimately be finished to guarantee 34 no drainage on either neighbors' properties, which, of course, would 35 also be a City requirement. - - 36 Mr. Hance said the other issue which bothered Mr. Szurek was how the 37 Hance driveway would be constructed, which the attorney said was still 38 not resolved. He explained that four of the homes had 10 foot easements 39 along side the parallel to Silver Lane, but on their own respective 40 properties, which had served as a sort of service road. Although his 41 driveway wouldn't encroach on any of his neighbors' easements, Mr. Hance 42 said he wanted to get that eliminated but hadn't quite worked out the 43 agreements which would provide egress and ingress to their lots. He 44 said he was trying to negotiate an agreement with the Szurek's whereby
