HEARINGS: 1) Lusardo Homes (former Blazey property), 4724 Canterbury Road, Request permission to build house on a 50 foot lot. Hearing required by Section 1305.05(b) to ascertain that proposed construction does not affect drainage of surface water or waste into or over adjoining property or into any public street. Please note: Engineering Department has reviewed the site plan. Chairman Burk administered the oath to Mr. Lusardo. It was noted that neighbors were present so the oath was then ad.miuistered to Mrs. Hill and Mr. Pampeani. Mr. Lusardo explained that he is asking permission to build on an existing lot which is only 50 foot wide. The proposed house will need no variances. In reference to the drainage, there will be a iear yard inlet which will drain on the northerly edge of the property to the pipe underground and to the existing culvert. The grade at the structure will be, raised about six inches from what it is today and he believed that the remainder of the lot could be even lower. Building Cominissioner Conway advised that Engineering had looked at the plan and they will require some adjustments, but it is a workable plan. Mr. Pampeani is concerned about raising the grade since he has standing water in his yard behind this property. He was advised that the grade was only to be raised at the house,_ and that water from the rear property would drain to the inlet. The members believed that this retention might also.drain some of Mr. Pampeani's property. Ms. I?'ill stated that she has had problems with seepage in her basement, and even though she has had basement work done and had installed two su.mp pwnps, every time work is done on the street or around her property, she gets more seepage. Since she lives next door, to the north of this lot, she was concerned that this construction will affect her. She had been told by the city that the plans are so old, no one is sure where the drainage goes on the street. She presented pictures of the basement work that she had done. Mr. Lusardo assured her that this project should not affect her, and it might even improve it. He advised that there would be no basement in his house. He showed her the plan with the elevations and pointed out that there would only be about a 3 inch difference m grade..He noted that her garage was about 19 feet
