Presentation and request
for help from NRH Neighbors Megan and Paul Elrif
Megan and Paul have lived at 12918 NE 86th for the past eight years. When the development was built, the city
required a pedestrian easement pathway for connectivity which
is on their property within 3 feet of their house. The problem is, the pathway ends at the back
of their property and does not look like it will ever be
connected at the other end. The
neighbor’s property that would have been the connecting piece has been sub
divided and the owner was able to do so without making the connection be required. The Elrif’s have problems of people coming to the end of the
pathway and walk through their back yard, get on their deck and look into their
windows. Teens come back there and drink and smoke leaving their trash behind. The Elrif’s have
been to the city on many occasions asking that the easement be
dissolved to no avail, so they came to the meeting to get support from
the NRHNA.
Angie Kupler,
new to the NRHNA but has lived in NRH for two years is interested in promoting
the Neighborhood website. Angie is
interested in a forum or chat area on the site to share neighborhood issues or
creating a neighborhood help and answer forum. Such as, I had a new roof
installed and the company was great here are the name and the contact, or I
have a gardening question, does anybody have a suggestion, and so forth. She suggested Google groups and she would be
glad to monitor the rules of usage for it not to become political forum or
blasting neighbors verbally. We will
forward her email to Milt Olson our Web Guru to see if they can get this
started.
