He said, "There are steep slopes that may <br />cr6ate th6 ri6ed to rotain aroas <br />with drainage.” <br />rock and plastic to assist <br />Hanson said, "I looked at the property first thinking that <br />portions of the drivev;ay could be removed to reduce hardcover. <br />Hov/ever, that is not possible because the driveway is shared." <br />Mr. Everson referred to one of tne rock gardens on the <br />property. He said, "That garden was there when I purchased the <br />property. If there is plastic beneath the rock, it is not <br />working. There are heavy weeds growing in there and I have no <br />standing water." <br />Mrs. Everson said, "The fence that Mike referred to as new <br />has been there for twenty years. Also, the portion of fencing <br />that encroaches onto the Krahl's property 's there for garbage <br />cans. Since the deck has been constructed, there has not been as <br />much dirt accumulating on the driveway. The curb installed by <br />Hennepin County helped that situation somewhat, and the deck has <br />nelped further." <br />Mr. Everson said, "There was always a deck in that location. <br />- 23 - <br />r ——rtiif-i —*■ - - - - - - - - - - -- - - -- - - - - - ~ -
