Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, November 20, 2017 Page 2 Charmaine Rudv 1070 Washington Extension This is a small street and Mayfield recently fixed it up. Everyone I ever met at Mayfield is professional. But if the opposition lawyer was correct, someone in the past at Mayfield was careless. It was trivial I am sure to him, but it took a big effort on my part to fix it up. If I am allowed, I want to tell the story quickly. Council President Saponaro stated, I am not following what you are saying yet, so go ahead. In 1999, I noticed my neighbors built a retaining wall and it drained water into my yard. Mayfield attempted to fix it and put the water into a pipe along that wa11. In 2013, I did a survey that showed the underground pipe and the overground pipe were wrong and the water discharged into my yard. Mayfield said they couldn't help and the Councilman that I e-mailed and called never answered me. So I found a lawyer who wrote a letter and suggested move the pipe now and when you rebuild it move the wall there. The other lawyer said Mayfield gave them pernussion to put the wall there, so too bad for me. So my lawyer said I have to take Mayfield and my neighbor to court which was too excessive. I didn't do anything. But last year, it's 21 years almost, so I found another lawyer and those two lawyers met with the Magistrate and they decided to give my neighbors an easement. Well, I said, it's not right. It's too hard on me to give people an easement who were careless and Mayfield said they could be careless. So this year I found a real estate lawyer and he worked out a deal that was fair. Papers were signed. Dea1 is done. But my questions are, whoever these people were, why didn't they make sure before the plans even were off the paper that there was proper storm drainage and how could if that other neighbor was correct, how could Mayfield tell my neighbor that they could build their wall into my yard? That's my story. Besides that, I am real happy with Mayfield. I tlunk it's a great place. Council President Saponaro stated, thank you. Is there anyone else who wants to address Council? There were no further comments. CONSIDERATION OF MINI7TES : Reaular Council Meeting - October 23, 2017 Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Jerome, made a motion to approve the minutes as written.
