Mabusth noted that due to the creation of this <br />additional lot, the City is asking that the driveway now serving <br />the existing two residential properties be upgraded to a private <br />road with a 24' paved width. Mabusth said that the City is also <br />requiring a 50' road outlot with a cul-de-sac be included. <br />Ms. Josephine Carpenter, 480 Russell Avenue, was concerned <br />about the location of the proposed cul-de-sac. <br />Mr. Thomas McNeJlis, 355 Woodhill Road, said, "The Pillsbury <br />house was built in 1920. A road gravel road was put in and over <br />the years it was oiled. The road does not hold up as well as a <br />paved surface would." <br />Ms. Carpenter informed the Planning Commission that she has <br />been using the existing drive since the property was built by the <br />Crosby's. She said, "We have had access over the driveway, <br />though there is nothing legally documenting that. We have given <br />the Pillsburys the use of our road even though they do not have <br />deeded access. If it is slippery in the winter time, which it <br />was not this year, we allow the Pillsburys (now Pruddens) the use <br />of our road. They cannot get up their road in the winter time." <br />Mabusth asked if there has been a need to do this since <br />Pruddens bought the property? <br />Ms. Carpenter replied, "No, they just moved in IJj years ago <br />and we haven't had a bad winter since that time." <br />Mabusth recoll'ected that as part of the first subdivision of <br />that parcel of land, the use of that driveway was to cease. <br />- 1 -
