Walsh pointed out on the overhead the areas where he <br /> experiences water problems. Walsh expressed a concern that his property will experience additional <br /> runoff as a result of this project. . . . <br /> Walsh indicated he did add on to his house a few years ago and he was required to follow all the rules. <br /> Walsh stated he has two stories above and one story below and that the applicants should not have a <br /> problem with that size of house. Walsh stated he was required to stay under 30 feet and that the � <br /> applicant should be required to keep within the same standards. <br /> Deanne Altenhofen, 1342 Rest Point Circle, stated she did not see any record or reference to their <br /> cottage(boat house). . <br /> Kroeger noted it is in the photographs. <br /> Altenhofen expressed a concern that the water will drain onto their property,noting that their cottage is <br /> located down hill from this proposed residence. Altenholfen stated with the houses being pushed <br /> toward the street,there would also be water runoff toward the street. Altenholfen expressed a concern <br /> with the amount of fill that would need to be brought in. <br /> Mark Altenholfen expressed his concerns regarding the runoff issues and the height of the structure.� <br /> Jack Edwards, 1340 Rest Point Circle, stated he does not have any immediate problems with the <br /> property except for the size of the proposed structures. Edwards stated he does not understand the need <br /> for three bedrooms on a third of an acre. Edwards stated the house should be constructed according to <br /> the size of the property,and since these are small lots,there should be small houses constructed. <br /> Edwards stated in his view these are very showy houses being constructed close to the road and that <br /> they should be built somewhere else. <br /> Chair Kempf closed the public hearing at 10:03 p.m. . <br /> Parker stated he is very sensitive to the concerns of the neighbors regarding the drainage and <br /> acknowledged that the existing drainage does drain to the neighbor's property. Parker stated with the <br /> proper drainage being proposed with this application, the water would be redirected down the lot rather <br /> than onto the neighbors' properties and would actually lessen the runoff. <br /> ' Parker stated he is happy to work with the neighbors and would be willing to construct a retaining wall <br /> if that would help. <br /> PAGE 28 <br />
