VOTE:Ayes 3,Nays 0. <br /> PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> 9.LA19-000101—AL AZAD,200 BEDERWOOD ROAD,LOT AREA-RESOLUTION <br /> Staff presented a summary of packet information. <br /> Walsh said he understood the sewer line was done in the'90s. <br /> Oaken agreed with his statement. <br /> Walsh noted it was PVC,up to code,roughly ten feet deep based on the plans, and asked whether the City <br /> installed those lines and if the property owners were assessed. <br /> Edwards stated it was a City project and that he believed the property owners were assessed. <br /> Walsh said the City knows the plans were good and the City did the work and knows the depth. Mr.Azad <br /> indicated he would be glad to give the neighbors an easement.He did not see anything holding the City <br /> back as far as approval with the contingency that an easement is in place with the neighbors. <br /> Johnson asked if the City has heard from the neighbors. <br /> Crosby, Johnson, and Walsh discussed that they had seen the neighbors once or twice at either City <br /> Council or Planning Commission meetings. <br /> Walsh stated the neighbor's big issue was wanting to know the depth and the ability to have access if there <br /> was a problem. He said this is the City's chance to rectify an issue that didn't get taken care of in the '90s. <br /> Johnson referenced the Planning Department's recommendation which said the applicant could be <br /> required to field locate, confirm the depth, and then protect the service line where the proposed driveway <br /> crosses if it is less than 6.5 feet. <br /> Oaken indicated that was a comment from the analysis, which could be done to verify or ensure the <br /> service line. <br /> Walsh stated they found out the City did the project and plans and are going off the plans and saying they <br /> know how deep it is. <br /> Page 10 of 15 <br />
