I understand that much of the street and yard work done is not by City staff members, but there should be some sort of oversight to ensure resident rights when street/easement/public utility efforts are underway. Our yard at 4021 E. Morningside is routinely deconstructed with no notice given and often damages left behind. Today our driveway was blocked off (still is) by a Green Ram truck with a Vermeer tanker, with a hole dug in the middle of our driveway exit. Our family works and has to enter and exit the drive throughout the day. One of the most important events of the past 7 years is happening tonight that we need to get to. We are making backup plans on an alternative way to go there, but to receive zero communication when we are to have no vehicular use for the day is something that needs to change. If the City has any jurisdiction over the permits given to these companies, they need to start requiring true resident notice and respect for property. Thank you for any help you can provide in future efforts.

And apparently the workers of 186081 uReport have now blown up a water line in my front yard, as a neighbor sent me a picture of a geyser taller than my house. Great, just great. I'll survey for damages when home, which appear likely, but CBU is on-scene I am told. There needs to be additional accountability for the constant stream of contractors and their subcontractors constantly on property in recent years, with many contractors simply pushing blame that it wasn't "them" but their subs. This same group was using my side yard to store plastic recently, not part of any easement.

18601/18604. Quick follow-up. I appreciate CBU getting things taken care of, and to my knowledge they were not involved in the cause of the initial break. They had to cut out some of my driveway and dig up a bit of yard, but I am trusting they'll get things taken care of and repaired. Staff was courteous in explaining the situation and is still outside hard at work. Hopefully we all get some sleep later tonight.

Hi, When attempting to drive westbound on Countryside Lane outside Summit Elementary, we were told by a crossing guard that they were allowed to completely block westbound traffic and would not allow us to drive in the eastbound lane due to “their walkers”. I raised a complaint with the principal several weeks ago about not only convenience, but also the fact that emergency vehicles are not able to drive through. They responded indicating that people are only supposed to be parking on the far westbound side of the street and not blocking traffic, but that is not what’s happening. How do they have the authority to block traffic and decide who is or is not allowed to drive on a public street? They said it was “for 15 minutes” but no drop/off pick/up ever takes a mere 15 minutes as parents start lining up we before school lets out.

810 W 7th ST

Case Date:
1/3/2022

The North/South alley between 810 W. 7th and 804 W. 7th is being encroached upon by gardens, woodpiles, trees/vegetation and possibly the fence and cinder block garage owned by 810 W 7th St. As a result, the alley traffic is being diverted outside of the alley right of way and onto the private property located at 804 W. 7th. This appears to have been going on for a number of years. As the new owner of 804 W. 7th St., it is my full intention to re-claim the property/property line currently being encroached upon and proceed with renovations. I request that the Street Dept contact the owner of 810 W. 7th and order the encroachments be removed. With the assistance of a surveyor, I have located the NW and SW corner pins delineating the right of way and pounded new T posts just outside of the right of way in those spots and plan to post the entire property line once the encroachments are removed. Were I to reclaim the property line today, the alley would become impassible due to said encroachments. I request your assistance in remedying this situation in a civil and legal manner, as requests to the homeowner of 810 W.7th have fallen upon deaf ears. I request that you keep me in the loop regarding this issue. I would be happy to meet with a representative of the street dept, with survey in hand, to assist in clarifying and remedying this issue, as renovations of 804 W. 7th will begin in a few weeks. Thank you for your attention in this manner, Sincerely, Rick Laux Goldfinch Properties LLC Van Zile LLC 812/606-8332 vanzilellc@hotmail.com
