APPLICANT: Stephanie Dimond, Architect, APPELLANT: Elizabeth Gibney, Owner. (#38 6/15/02)

Councilman Speck stated that he thinks that the concern of the adjacent neighbor about the engineering issue is a legitimate issue, but not within the purview of either the appeal or the BAR. The appellant's attorney has represented that they will have a full and detailed engineering study as well as work to bond the project to assure the next door neighbor if there were any damage, it would be bonded. Councilman Euille also spoke to the engineering design issue. Attorney Blair noted that John Woods, structural engineer, has met with the Kennahans once and intends to do a pre-conditioned survey. Mr. Blair indicated that the plans have not yet been prepared, but they will be submitted not only to the Kennahans for their review, but also will go through Mr. Dahlberg's office of Code Enforcement.

City Attorney Pessoa reported that this will require an encroachment ordinance from the City in the fall for this construction in the right-of-way, and we can insert a condition in the ordinance to address the concerns raised by Mr. Speck and Mr. Euille.
