I read the entire record from the Agenda sent previously. <br />There are lots of statements made by the applicant’s representatives that are meaningless. As a <br />former architect, any engineer that would write a report from photos only- without the <br />submittals of the actual design of the retaining walls and then back away from his own opinion <br />as holding any truth is not certifying anything. There are other statements that are not true. an <br />example is that the tree roots were cut ahead of the retaining wall installation. The roots were <br />cut with the cut into the hill to install the backfill and the retaining timbers. <br />The excavator made a huge mistake by destroying a portion of the hill without regard to the <br />rest of the hill and water quality. What they did to fix it was not good practice by any means, <br />and when you recommend approval of independently made poor decisions, you weaken the <br />whole point of having and enforcing ordinances. <br />Penny Saiki <br />psaiki@icloud.com <br />On Feb 17, 2023, at 8:24 AM, Melanie Curtis <mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us> wrote: <br />Hello, <br />You are receiving this email because you have expressed interest in the application at 2815 Casco Point <br />Road.
