Ms. Cathy Fruth (1384 Old Mill Road) - Driveway Issue - (Old Mill Road <br />Improvements) - (Tabled from Previous Meeting) <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz stated that he prepared a few documents and included them in the <br />Council's packet Included is a picture of the finished product last year, after they took it <br />back 50 feet to make the grade better. He stated that when they did the road last fall, they <br />discussed this with Ms. Fruth and agreed to make it less steep, and they added new sod. <br />He stated that the Plan Sheet shows an estimated 1 foot 7 inch lowering of the road. An <br />email from the Inspector last year stated that this is what we could do to get it to 8% and <br />that going back farther would not help. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz went on to state that based on the Inspector's recommendations, past <br />the 50 foot mark the grade is about the same as what is on the lower portion of the <br />driveway now. The only option would be to flatten the driveway out 10-20 feet back <br />from the curb, but doing that would make the rest of the driveway 10-12% steeper. He <br />added that 2% - 8% are the parameters they stay in, and they are right at 8%. He stated <br />that there are hundreds of other residents in Centerville that have driveways at the same <br />level or worse. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra inquired whether they had added gravel. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz replied that yes, they had. He added that the gravel takes a year or so <br />to settle in. <br /> <br />Page 4 of 14 <br />
