Carlson stated there are already three other <br /> neighbors in the area that have a second driveway access. <br /> Curtis noted that would be an issue for the City Council and not the Planning Commission. <br /> Landgraver asked if the applicant is in agreement with the recommendations listed in the Staff report. <br /> Carlson indicated they are. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:41 p.m. <br /> Ryan Blackwell, 80 Smith Avenue, stated they live across the street from this property and that they have <br /> three concerns. Blackwell asked where the second driveway is going to be in relation to his driveway. <br /> Blackwell noted there is a corner approximately 100 feet down the street from his driveway. <br /> Curtis illustrated the approximate location of the driveway and noted it will not be directly across from <br /> Mr. Blackwell's driveway. Curtis stated the applicant is not showing any grading in that area except for <br /> minimal grading and the removal of trees. Curtis noted the heavy lines on the plan depict the new grades. <br /> Page 3 of 17 <br />
