The area was <br />excavated fuilher than originally proposed when the structure was erected and well <br />installed The Engineer has reviewed the specifications for retaining walls and accepted <br />them. Drainage tiles to rear of wall were noted and drained to the rear of the property. A <br />second curb cut was created with an island for safety reasons. Gerhardson approved the <br />curb cut. <br />Smith asked if the direction of the wall was changed and taken by the initiative of the <br />applicant. Otto said he had thought the well people had contact^ the City. Mabusth said <br />the City has no authority to issue permits for wells. This was the responsibility of the <br />applicant Rowlette noted that the applicant had commented to her when she visited the <br />property that the house was not placed in the envelope as originally specified. The house <br />placement was skewered by the guidelines of the setback. The original placement made <br />the entry imo the garage difficult and the exit impossible. <br />Lindquist commented that the two curb cuts seemed to make sense.
