UNFINISHED BUSINESS 7.1 Request for Encroachment Permit for Driveway, Lands of Nissley, 12422 Robleda Road The Director of Public Works noted that he had not received any comment from Mr. Sun regarding his driveway. Mr. Sun, 12444 Robleda, addressed the Council regarding his driveway and introduced his contractor. Ben Taaffe, Mr. Sun's contractor, explained the error he had made regarding the driveway as a result of the size of the berms and the city's property. The driveway would be corrected to 12'. Mrs. Sun, 12444 Robleda, discussed the original plans and the court orders. The Nissleys had paved without their approval and she believed the issue should go back to court. Mr. Nissley, applicant, reiterated his reasons for requesting an encroachment permit. He stated that the paving was done in the easement and he submitted pictures which showed the Sun's contractor had erected curbs around three sides of the Nissley's car and had also erected a barrier sealing the Nissleys off from their easement. Johnson did not believe this was a safe solution to the problem and it appeared the only way this issue would be satisfied would be through the courts. He thanked the Suns for taking care of the driveway situation. Tryon believed the real battle was over the easment and would like to see some resolution to the problem. She suggested the neighbors contact the County Mediation Services. Casey and Hubbard both commented that this would be a dangerous driveway. July 3, 1991 Regular Meeting 12
