i. :ADDENDasei_#.•::19;94=27�:, 1081 Riverside Drive South Bend, IN 46616-1403 The specific area being addressed id the driveway approach (that section that begins on the house side of the sidewalk and runs to the top of the small incline, where the '•ribbon' drive begins). This is situated within the public right-of-way. During the removal of the previous paving materials by the cement contractor, and the installation of the forms for the new concrete the owners of 1077 Riverside Drive indicated to the owners of 1081 Riverside Drive that not only did the eastern edge of the approach fall within their property line (of 1077) but that in fact one-half of the exsisting driveway and garage also was within their property line. 1 The owners of 1081 notified the City Engineer (Carl Littrell) via telephone at his home on the same evening (prior to the new pour) of the contesting of the 1077 owners. This was done since the project was a City of South Bend Project. The following morning at 6:45 am, the owners of 1077 blocked the project with their bodies, by standing in front of the cement truck and not allowing it to pour any concrete for; -the sidewalk or the driveway., The City Engineer and two other Engineers from his office made the ,'N scene and after some measurement and Plat Map comparisons, determined J that the project at 1081 was indeed within the property lines of 1. 1081, and verbally.,instructed the owners of 1081 that the City of South Bend would stand behind the 1081 owners, with the project and ordered the contractors to proceed with the pour. The owners of 1081 decided at this point to withhold the approach extension section until they had the property surveyed. (See attach- ment "INDIANA LAND TITLE SURVEY). When this was completed, the owners of 1081 consulted the concrete contractor grid an Architect, who advised that the small triangular piece of the approach which now can be installed, cannot because it would not be structurally sound due to its thin or narrow width. This now leaves thel081 owners with two choices: 1) to remove the newly poured concrete approach and repour the large piece of concrete, or 2) to lay the addition to the approach in paving brick. The owners of 1081 have decided on #2. This then requires the 1081 owners to request further ruling by the Commission for the use of the brick material. Cs45E e t-cw _"? or &Avp sine vc y\ The request for addendum to exsisting C of A is: For the installation of paving bricks (which match the brick on the in hoop color) to be layed on a two-inch sand base enclosed by 'treated' two-by-four wood. The top of this addition will be level with the exsisting driveway (concrete) approach. The wood will be dril- ed throughi:to.;accppt rebar rods, which will be inserted and pounded into the eahth for support. The rods will be cut-off at the level of the top of the two-by-four wood.
