I- PLANNING COMMISSION • <br /> SEPTEMBER 17 , 1991 <br /> 3 PAGE 4 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 <br /> 6- that all of the water from surrounding properties is deposited <br /> 7 in his backyard. She felt the drain tile which was installed <br /> 8 by the previous owner has helped to some degree. Mr. Rossa <br /> 9 noted that the hedge stops some of the water from draining to <br /> 10 the street and that some of the spring runoff is also <br /> 11 redirected by this hedge. He suggested some landscaping would <br /> 12 help. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Gondorchin inquired if anyone took exception to the siding not <br /> 15 being done when the addition is completed. He had noted some <br /> 16 anxiety from the neighbors regarding this matter. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 The City Manager suggested this could be made a condition for <br /> 19 granting the variance but wondered how the variance could be <br /> 20 revoked if the siding were not completed. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Brownell reviewed with the neighbors the chronology of the <br /> 23 house building in that area, particularly the three houses <br /> 24 adjacent to Preussner ' s .

He also felt the comments of the neighbors affirmed <br /> 48 the history of water problems and that it would be ill-advised <br /> 49 to build the addition onto the back of the structure. <br /> 50 <br /> 51 Gondorchin stated his concern with the siding not being • <br /> �2 completed in a timely fashion. He referred to a problem of <br /> this kind at a home on 33rd Avenue. He inquired how the <br /> 54 requirement of completing the siding in one year could be <br />
