Johnson stated there are two separate issues which are not mutually exclusive to each other. One is the road and what responsibility does the City have if they created the issue. He said if this is a private sewer line and the resident picked the location because it was less money, that would be a consideration. Mr. Mueller said they paid a lot of money for the service to the City. Johnson said if he was Mr. Mueller, he would be concerned about his utility not being in his care, custody, and control and he is responsible for it. On the other hand, there is the road. Walsh said he would like to tie it all together. The only thing he is hearing that should be added is Edwards should document from the Mueller property line up to the connection what the depth is, which may change, but have a graph of the depth so the Muellers and the City know what it is. Mr. Mueller said he knows the applicant will put a driveway there and that is not his problem. His concern is, a year from now he does not want to spend a lot of money replacing someone's driveway because his line got damaged because of construction. Crosby said that was understandable. Printup stated he believes he heard Mr. Azad say he would tie it in that the driveway is the responsibility of the new homeowner. Mr. Azad confirmed his comment. Walsh suggested tabling this matter until the next Council meeting so all the information could be gathered to work on getting an easement, and Rief agreed to get the information. Mr. Azad said he had no problem with that. Crosby commented that the Muellers want to be protected, too, which makes sense. Johnson asked if Mr. Azad had a location for the house that would be going on the property. Mr. Azad said he did not; they want to put in a driveway first. It is two acres so there is plenty of room. Seals moved, Crosby seconded, to table LA19-000101 – Al Azad, 200 Bederwood Drive, Lot Area Variance – Resolution. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
