I asked how he intended to deal with the elevation difference between your properties and he said he was going to work with you do drain your area by the door. I am meeting with him Monday at about 9:30 to discuss how he proceeds.Lyle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From:ftkdenny@a¢l.com[mailto:ftkdennvna,aol.com] Sent: Wednesday,June 04,20b8 11:14 PM To:Lyle Oman;Evelyn M.

Tonight I see what the builder has done for the grading and it slopes entirely onto my property which risks my house being flooded,which is totally against what was approved by the city council. This does not even address the 7 foot drop off that they have in my back yard that they have excavated right up to my property line that is an accident waiting to happen for the kids and children in the neighborhood. It is the city's responsibility,per their permitting process,to monitor these issues so we do not have a water catastrophe or a physical injury to small children. I suggest that we have an immediate city official to come to the property to survey the drainage issue and the severe drop off,and have the builder remedy any and all issues that they were to abide by from the beginning of the permit process that was approved by the city council.This needs to be an immediate process that needs to be in writing and transparent to all parties involved for the sake of the neighborhood and the integrity of the city official process. Otherwise I foresee the city having a potential major liability in this issue which will not go away any time soon. I look forward to your prompt response.
