8 relationship to the street, but lower than across the street to the north side. The south side of the street is lower than the north. COUNCILMAN KEHR: Would you be changing the grade of this street - the elevation of the street in that area? MR. HONCHELL: We will be raising the street somewhat in that area. councilman kehr; On both side of the street? They would both benefit? MR. HONCHELL: On the south side it's not a particular problem. It will become flatter. On the north side, in some cases it's what I consider (inaudible) and in those cases it would become manageable. COUNCILMAN KEHR: How much would you be raising the elevation of the street - approximately? MR. DOUG STRONG, Public Works Department: We're looking at six inches ~ six to ten inches at the worst or best place - you're looking at six to ten inches in the middle of the street and then we have our gutter lines so it slopes back down six inches below the center of the street. COUNCILMAN KEHR: What would be the drop in elevation from the homes to the street, roughly, on the south side? MR. STRONG: On the south side the driveways are minimal grade. You don't have the steep driveway. COUNCILMAN KEHR: What would be the difference in elevation? MR. HONCHELL: Only a drop of a foot or so. MR. STRONG: From the garage, about a foot. COUNCILMAN KEHR: What is it on the north side? MR. STRONG: I don't have all the way to the garage because some of those homes went quite a way back, but the one at 407 and 40l have lO% grades now. COUNCILMAN KEHR: How far back are those homes? MR. STRONG: They're - to the garage, I believe 72 or 73 feet from the existing edge of the street. MAYOR DEMOS: How wide is the pavement now? MR. STRONG: Thirty feet in most places.
