He is requesting that all driveway access points <br /> be positioned so that the lights from vehicles not illuminate an existing house; the mature evergreen trees <br /> and landscape grading along Bohns Point Road not be removed; and that any additional utilities be placed <br /> underground. <br /> Chair Kang opened the public hearing at 6:59 p.m. <br /> Virginia Sweatt, 3225 Bohns Point Lane, stated they have already suffered through six years of <br /> reconstruction and reshaping of this site in the past,the removal of a number of trees on the lot, and <br /> considerable noise.

At times in the past school buses have had a difficult time accessing <br /> Bohns Point Road during the prior work on the lot. <br /> Gronberg stated the setback is 10 feet, and in order to construct the swale,they have left approximately 22 <br /> feet between the building pad and the adjoining lot. Gronberg stated there would be a cut through the <br /> berm in order to construct the common driveway,but that they would be doing replanting in that area. <br /> Sweatt reiterated her concern that this project would cause traffic problems as well as noise issues. <br /> Sweatt requested the City's regulations be followed as it concerns the height of the rooflines.
