The neighbors had expressed concerns about the <br />location of the driveway in conjunction with their property, and <br />the culvert size. The City Engineer has recommended that a 24" <br />culvert be installed. The applicant has relocated the driveway <br />to be more in the center of the lot but it will need to curve to <br />the west to avoid the septic sites. This configuration raised <br />the concern of lights striking the adjacent house to the west. • <br />Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron said <br />that the issue of screening has not yet been addressed by the <br />applicant. <br />Mr. Monson said that he had met with the neighbors and an <br />agreement had been reached that should screening be needed, he <br />will provide "softening" of the lights. He said that he could <br />not promise to totally eliminate the shining of the lights, but <br />he would try to diminish the impact to an acceptable level. <br />Mr. Don Boylan, 3240 Bayside Road, said that he was <br />concerned about the line of evergreen trees bordering his <br />property being removed. <br />Mr. Dale Nyhammer, 3280 Bayside Road, said that the proposal <br />for the culvert and the relocation of the driveway adequately <br />addressed his concerns.
