IN ORDER FOR THEM TO ENCLOSE THIS AREA OF THEIR EXISTING DECK. WHAT THEY IN TEND TO DO IS KEEP THE FOOTPRINT AS IT IS. AND ENCLOSE IT WITH THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THE SOUTHWEST SIDE. THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THE REAR.

I WROTE A LETTER TO GIVE TO YOU GUYS.
I ALSO HAVE A MAP OR A RUDIMENTARY MAP FROM MY HUSBAND.
[00:10:06]
WE ARE VERY HAPPY FOR THE BUCKS. WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR POOL, BUT WE ARE A LITTLE CONCERNED, BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE DRAINAGE ISSUES IN OUR YARD.WE HAVE HAD DEALING WITH THAT FOR THE 10 YEARS THAT WE LIVED THERE. ACTUALLY WHEN THEY PUT IN THE ROUND ABOUT AT GRAY AND MAIN, WE WORKED WITH THE CITY, SO THAT WE COULD INSTALL THE $7000 DRAIN. IT MEETS, THIS IS THEIR BACKYARD. AND THIS IS OURS.
THERE'S A DRAIN HERE. IT CONNECTS THE CITY ALLOWED US TO CONNECT A NEW STORM DRAIN THAT WAS INSTALLED DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD. BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA RUNOFF THAT WE WERE GOING TO RECEIVE FROM THE ROAD.
SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE WORRIED, BECAUSE WE ARE THE LOWER ELEVATION. AND THERE ARE THREE YARDS THAT DRAIN. WE GET THEIR RUNOFF.
AND CURRENTLY WE ALSO HAVE THE BUCKS HAVE A WATER DISCHARGE RIGHT AT THIS FENCE FOR THE TRIANGLE IS.
THIS AREA OF OUR YARD IS NEVER DRY.
IT IS LIKE A BOGGY AREA I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE SUCH PUMP OR THE GUTTERS THAT DRAIN RIGHT OFF THE FENCE.
BUT IT HAS ERODED. IT HASHORS MOSQUITOES.
I WOULD LOVE FOR THAT TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE PLANNING PROCESS OF THIS POOL, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE MORE ENJOYABLE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MANY MOSQUITOES AROUND US.
ALSO WE'RE CONCERNED ESPECIALLY ARE NOW GETTING THAT OUR YARD AND OUR HOUSE COULD FLOOD AS WELL.
THANK YOU. >> IF YOU COULD GIVE ME THAT
LETTER TO ADD TO THE RECORD. >> IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO THAT, YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO DO SO.
YES, THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING YOUR CONCERNS.
I DO WANT TO SHARE THAT ALL OF THIS OVER HERE IS MAINLY TREES.
AND IS THE SUCH PUMP DISCHARGE SHE'S LIKELY TALKING ABOUT HAS ALREADY BEEN EXISTING. WE'VE LIVED IN THIS HOME FOR 12.5 YEARS. WE'VE NOT DONE ANYTHING WITH THE SUCH PUMP AND THE DISCHARGE. THAT WAS ALREADY FROM PREVIOUS HOMEOWNER BUT YES, THE SUCH PUMP, THE HOUSE HERE, THERE IS A DRAINAGE LINE TO THIS AREA. THE POOL WOULD NOT EFFECT THAT.
WE DON'T GET, THERE WOULD BE NO ADDITIONAL RUNOFF FROM THE POOL FROM THIS VANTAGE POINT. ANY WATER FROM OUR YARD WOULD LIKELY BE POOLING UP AROUND HERE.
I DON'T SEE THE POOL IMPACTING DRAINAGE AFFECTING THE YARD.
>> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, ANGIE.
I DID WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE CAN RELAY THE CONCERNS TO THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. JUST SO THEY CAN DO A SITE VISIT AND SEE WAS ACTUALLY GOING ON OUT THERE.
BUT THAT'S KIND I WOULD SAY, IT WOULD BE A SEPARATE COMPLAINT LOGGED WE CAN DO THAT ON HER BEHALF.
AS FAR AS THE VARIANCE REQUEST IT IS A UNIQUE LOT THE WITH TWO STREET FRONTAGES WE CALL IT A THROUGH LOT.
THEY ARE SEEKING VARIANCE APPROVAL FOR A 20-FOOT POOL IS SETBACK INSTEAD OF 40. PLANNING STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THAT VARIANCE REQUEST. ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE'S ALREADY A PRIVACY FENCE ON THAT SIDE, AS WELL AS LANDSCAPING SOME PLANNING STAFF DOES RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST AND THE ADOPTION OF THE FINDINGS OF
YES, AS ANGIE MENTIONED, ANY ISSUES THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW WE CAN BE CONSIDERED A SEPARATE OUTSIDE OF THE BOARD OF ZONING A PEELS. BUT ANGIE, IS THERE HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONSIDERATION FOR AND REVIEW FOR WHETHER THE ADDITION OF THE POOL WITH ITS COVERAGE WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM?
>> THERE HAS BEEN REVIEW BY THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT THEY HAVE NOT RELAYED ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THAT TO ME, AS I
WROTE THE STAFF REPORT. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
>> OKAY, THEN I AM GOING TO APPROVE THIS.
WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE FINDINGS OF FACT.
[00:15:01]
THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER BUSINESS? FOR US TO COVER DURING THE
HEARING OFFICER MEETING. >> OKAY.
THANK YOU, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
