344 29 and 32 of Tract 7582 by the various property owners were in substantial com- pliance with the Uniform Building Code and no major violations occurred. Mr. Burnett concluded a minor violation could be the two foot encroachment of the metal down drain from Lot 32 on to Lot 29, however, deleting a two foot section of the metal down drain and placing rock or concrete splash block would rectify this violation. Mr. McCool, Lot 32 of Tract 7582, then made a presentation to the Council Members referring to various correspondence and documentation concerning the alleged problem with his neighbor, stating he had never seen such a lack of administra- tive responsibility and travesty of justice regarding these matters. Mr. McCool contended there was certain documentation missing from the City files to sub- stantiate his complaints, and also that when his neighbor, Mr. Smith, was con- structing his swimming pool, he never obtained a grading permit. Mr. John Twiss, Director of Building and Safety, commented on various statements made by Mr. McCool, advising the City Council that a grading permit is not requir- ed for a swimming pool, and also that there has never been any letters or documen- tation missing from his files, all of the City files are complete, the records are legitimate and are in order. Mr. Twiss further advised that he has contacted Mr. Smith, who will be getting an engineer to draw up plans for the drainage problem, to be approved by the City, which will eliminate the drainage flow on Lot 29. After additional discussionbetween Council Members and Staff, Mayor Gonzales assured Mr. McCool that the City is doing everything possible to rectify the situation for the benefit of all concerned.
