Kelley asked how the City could mandate the homeowner's association to maintain the public road. Mabusth said that the City Attorney's opinion is that the City could make such a requirement. Hanson said that such a proposal is poor planning. Bellows said that such an arrangement was virtually unenforceable.

He said that the purpose of the driveway proposal is just to get the cars off of the road. Mr. Wenkus said that he had come into this matter after the initial building permit had been issued. He said that he had tried to work with the City in preparing the landscape plan and trying to resolve this matter in a way beneficial to both Mr. McCourtney and the City. He said that the hardship is the size and shape of the property and the fact that over half of the property is located in the 0-75' zone.

He said that what is being proposed is appropriate for the neighborhood. Mr. Wenkus noted that there had been a 6' fence existing in the right-of-way which had recently been removed.
