8/2/83 Page -5- Drainage Problem grade on their present homes; they are con- cerned with the drainage and changes that were made in plans to alter the set-backs. Mrs. Stout had telephoned the City Engineer and he was to return her call verifying why the structures are being built that high. She had also spoken with Craig Krueger of Mc Stain Enterprises and he said that the City required him to have that fill grade. It brings the front doors of their struc- tures level with their 6' fences, which is almost 5' above the ground and they are only 30' away. The question was - why are not their structures the same grade level? Director Rupp Stated that he had spoken with Mrs. Stout earlier only about the set-back manner, but not the drainage. He had the Chief Building Inspector go to the area and confirm that the set-backs were not in violation of the plan approved by the City. The Building Inspector and Acting City Engineer were meeting on the drainage problem the next day. Set-Backs Mrs. Stout stated that they had one set of plans that show one thing and supposedly the City has another set of plans showing something else. Stated that when the Chief Building Inspector came out today he stated that the structures were within the set-back agreement, but they weren't in the plans that they were shown. Director of Community Development Rupp advised that the plans the City has are those that were approved by Council. They discussed the 40' setback on the east property lines and on the west property lines it is 60' where it will be a half-street. Requested that Mrs. stout bring in her set of plans tomorrow. Fence Mrs. Stout also stated that their had been problems with the construction crews and cement trucks driving through their subdivision. Last week there was a chain put up and over the weekend someone took it. Today a wood barrier was installed. Their court is a small street, on which there are 11 children under the age of 8, and with all the contruction trucks traveling it there have been some close calls with the children. The wooden barrier did help somewhat. It was their assumption that they would be a fence around the entire subdivision.
