. >> high name is glen hipatiama and i'm a concerned citizen from this neighborhood about 10 blocks from 10 niantic. i'm strongly against this resolution to overturn this encroachment because it sits on a lot that is too small to be built and is 3 feet into a public right of way on one side. what i've been told, encroaches several feet on a property line to the south side where the builder has eliminated a 5-foot easement between the two properties. i'd like to reiterate what was on the dpw report, that the encroachment is not an appropriate use of public right of way. there is no safe pass for travel of pedestrians separating them from vehicular traffic. ocean view village sits right behind that and a lot of people who live there take niantic to get to the bart station. the bay window is too low and leaves little or no room for emergency vehicles to access the properties on panama street, which i think if the city is concerned about safety, this is a very big issue and i think should be taken into consideration. yes, an error was made, but the city cannot allow this incompetency to be r
