PC Exhibit D: As -Built Survey for Valdes Lawn Care Notes Listed on Survey: "The survey boundary was calculated using a survey by Gronberg & Associates Land Surveying dated 5-18-22. " "Boundary work was not completed as part of the as -built survey any monuments and boundaries are for reference only. " The property boundary line between 2013 Casco Point and 2815 Casco Point are not in agreement based on two separate surveys conducted by Gronberg & Associates in 2004 and 2022, respectively. Charles visited Gronberg's office once we discovered the discrepancy between the two surveys after a discussion with Scott Gates when Charles, Scott and I were at the bluff and discussing the location of the side property line at the top of the bluff. To date, Mr. Gronberg has not provided a reply to our request to reconcile the two surveys as his surveyor has been out on medical leave. Since the two surveys have not been reconciled, the determination of whether the timber walls are fully located on the 2815 property is not complete. However, I do not believe this is an issue that cannot be readily solved once the surveys are reconciled. I mention this to address a concern stated in the information packet. This is referenced by Section 78-350 & 78-1279- Setbacks, page 2 of 5: "The plans do not specifically clarify whether or not the new walls were constructed entirely within the subject property boundaries; clarification is required. " PC Exhibit D: As -Built Survey for Valdes Lawn Care & Hardcover Calculation Worksheet (Proposed), Exhibit E "The Prop. Impervious Surface Calculations and the Proposed Hardcover Calculation Worksheet, dated 2/2/23 in this current information packet do not match the RPS22-0000126 Permit Plan Packet containing the Gronberg Survey completed 5-18-22 and the Proposed Hardcover Calculation Worksheet, Exhibit J, dated 8-15-22. This Hardcover Calculation Worksheet dated 8-15-2022 (and I believe was approved by City Council on or prior to October 10, 2022) itemizes the home renovations, new attached garage, bluff retaining walls and stairs, etc that totaled to a 24.99% hardcover calculation. Interestingly, the updated Hardcover Calculations based on a new survey completed by R.G Rud & Sons total to less hardcover of 24.93% even though there are line items for the added girth and complexity of the new timber walls and the increase in stair length from the lake shore to the top of the bluff. I am concerned that the new survey was performed in January/February 2023 in which major exterior removal/changes have already been made to the house and property and with significant snow on the ground in which many items could be obscured or missing. Some of the discrepancies between the two Hardcover Calculation Worksheets include the following items (values given in square feet). Some of these are very minor changes. • The house footprint decreased from 1425 to 1343. How is it possible that the house footing is now smaller? There is no verbiage or drawings provided in the information packet that describe any changes to the house footprint. Is the house footprint discrepancy the result of the second survey that was completed in the Jan/early Feb months with at least a foot of the snow on the ground that obscured the house concrete footprint? If so, should the original survey and Hardcover Calculations dated 8/15/23 and approved by City Council take precedence? • The proposed garage is listed as 24' x 30' but the math changed from 720 to 710. • The proposed concrete walk increased from 72 to 74 • The proposed stoop increased from 66 to 80
