1 -6- <br /> • i <br /> 2 Mr. .Childs said that an example where a swale was required across a' <br /> 3 property to maintain drainage would be the Nesser property on' St. <br /> 4 Anthony Boulevard. <br /> 5 Hoxmeier Reiterates Neighbors ' Opposition to a House on that Corner <br /> 6 Jerome and Marjorie Shaddrick, 2510 and 2508 - 37th Avenue N.E. , and <br /> 7 Kenneth Hoxmeier, 3657 Roosevelt Street N.E. , were the only neighbors <br /> 8 who had accepted the City Manager ' s invitation to attend the meeting and <br /> 9 only the latter spoke. He said: <br /> 10 *he lived just south of the subject property and perceived a drive- <br /> 11 way off Roosevelt would be "awfully close" to the stop sign at <br /> 12 that intersection and any large object like a truck in the new <br /> 13 driveway might obstruct the view of the sign; <br /> 14 *since his driveway would be directly parallel to the new drive- <br /> 15 way, he would expect he and his new neighbors would be fighting <br /> 16 over where to store their snow in the winter; <br /> 17 *St.- Paul doesn' t permit certain species of trees, including blue <br /> 18 spruce to be planted on the City' s right-of-way and any tree which <br /> 19 obstructs drivers ' vision is removed with a chain saw in that <br /> 20 City; • <br /> 21 *the City could also follow St. Paul ' s example of sending out <br /> 22 someone from the forestry department to assure the right type of <br /> 23 vegetation is planted next to the intersection; <br /> 24 *he was still concerned about how the drainage behind his garage <br /> 25 would be handled after the lot is built up and wondered who would <br /> 26 be responsible for the maintenance of the swale; <br /> 27 *continued to perceive there would be a problem with obstruction of <br /> 28 view on that corner during a winter of heavy snows if a house is <br /> 29 built so close to the intersection; <br /> 30 *questioned whether the Supreme Court ruling meant only. a house <br /> 31 could be built on that lot; <br /> 32 *he understood one of the Flynn relatives were going to contest <br /> 33 the will, which could mean the matter could be held up on court <br /> 34 for a year or more. <br /> 35 Mr. Hoxmeier concluded by saying he was present to represent the <br /> 36 concerns of not only himself but of all the neighbors who had signed the <br /> 37 petition against the development of this lot which had been presented at <br /> 38 the June 16th hearing.
