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