Mr. Dunlap presented a revised site plan and explained that it showed the configuration of the houses on the lot and the location of the sanitary and storm water retention is located in order to handle the water run-off. Mrs. Tolowitzki stated that she is concerned about drainage, because.she is concemed her basement will flood. She has other concerns about the homes, but wondered if they should be addressed to board of zoning appeals. Mr. Kazak advised that the board had a letter from Assistant City Engineer McDermott stating that the drainage can be done properly, the board only has to take care of the lot situation since these lots are "grandfathered-in" and are narrower than the code
