Donald Obbariua, 1619 Lake Johanna Blvd, expressed concern that the improvement . of the roadway will intensify the drainase problem problem that currently exists in that area. He atated he is not opposed to the lot split; only how it will affect drainase or if it will cause damage to open space. Obbarius advised he has diacussed the drainaae problems with the County Enaineer. After discussion. it was the general concensus of the Council that approval of this matter could be conditioned upon the Ensineer's review of plans for construction of the private driveway and roadway improv...nt. There was discussion regarding City's responsibility to construct the roadway if the easement belongs to the City. It waa the Planner's opinion that the City haa to assure access to the residents, if easement in fact belongs to the City, however, the easement is not wide enough to meet City atandards for a public street. He stated the City should make provision to see that the street is developed in such manner that it does not create more drainage problema.
