The driveway? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: Having a second driveway in addition to his primary driveway was not necessary. The other thing we <br />discovered working through the process with the County Health Department is they felt it would be better for this existing <br />septic system that is in front of the property to not have that driveway over it. Current standards don’t allow driveways over <br />septic fields. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: That is where I was getting to. This septic area, this driveway on top of it is a violation of the current <br />regulation. <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: It is a violation of current regulations, yes. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: So he really has to move this driveway. He is not doing it by choice. <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: Yes. The county felt so strongly about that they asked us to remove the asphalt driveway. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: When he bought this home, he bought it without knowing he had a driveway on top of the septic system so <br />now he has to remove the driveway and funnel traffic on this side of the property which would actually increase traffic on the <br />Southerland’s side of the property? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: I don’t know if it would increase traffic or not. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: Right now they could just around the circle here but now they will have to go all the way down here and park <br />in, where is the parking lot? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: This is …. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: What I am asking you is just common sense. If cars are going like this, isn’t that less of an impact on the <br />Southerland’s than if the cars have to go all the way down here and park in the parking lot? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: I am not sure that constitutes an impact on the Southerland’s side. There is a different way to drive into the <br />property that I would say about that. I think it is fallacy to say that people turn in here and circulate this way and in my <br />experience when I drive on the property and I have seen other people do that, it seems to come in this driveway that is closer <br />to the Southerland’s now. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: How far down can they go currently on the existing pavement? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: To approximately the back side of the house. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: About right here right? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: Yes. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: Where the cars will be parking, the five parking spots with the handicap parking, where are they going to be? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: Down in this general area. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: Which area is closer to the Southerland’s house, this parking lot or up here? <br /> <br />Tony Whitaker: The future parking lot. <br /> <br />Rob Maitland: You have been looking at this for a long time and it has never occurred to you that this parking lot would be <br />closer to the Southerland’s house. <br />
